current season without a loss.
Hardin went into an early lead
and and was never seriously threat
ened by the Red Devils in Glendive

points.

the Red Devils in the last half, fail

before the contest ended, all of

It was 35-19 at the end of the third
period. The Buldogs warmed up to
total a big 18 points in the final
stanza while Glendive tallied 11

shooting average. Miles City had 9

and looked real tough Saturday
night," he said.
After a week end away, when
they learned to solve a zone de
fense, the Indians came home to
face two teams who played the
man-to-man system.
Rafter said he felt this type of
defense hurts the Indians on their
small home court. The limited
space seems to keep them from
moving as well as they should, he
commented.
The Indians take to the road this
week-end. They have a conference
game with the Forsyth Dogies in
Forsyth Friday. Rafter says the
Dogies have a good ball club and
this could be a close contest.
The following night the Indians
will journey to Clearmont. Wyo.

36-31 but defeated the Miles City
second stringers 45-34 when they
accompanied the Bulldogs on a
basketball trip last week end.
Coach Bob Bennett credited his
squad with excellent defensive ball
in both contests, but said their
shooting left much to be desired.
However, they warmed up enough
against the Custer County team
to win the contest.
Glendive B, paced by Greg Paul

seven points for the last half of the
game in Glendive Friday. HoMever.

enough to give the game to the

The last quarter was a most un
usual one. Glendive got a total of
two points on a single field goal,
and the Pups had a pair of free
throws.
