              Indiana Loses To Huskies 1 * JLia^iYJi .1 , ??? ?? i Teachers Retain Outside Chance for State Title by 57-50 Victory Bloorasburg State Teachers College Huskies retained an outside chance at the mythical teachers college title and at the same time came near sounding the death knell to the title aspirations of the Indiana State Teachers College quintet here last night when they scalped the Indians, 57-50, in a close, exciting ball game. It was the second defeat of the week for the Indians who previously had racked up five straight in teachers college competition and it was gained in one of those late scoring flurries of the Huskies after they had been forced to trail through part of the third period. Not as impressive in victory last night as they were in defeat against East Stroudsburg last week, the Huskies, nevertheless, got through ihe Indiana defense frequently enough to roll up the triumph, aided greatly in the last half by the timely goals of Joe Chesney, freshman guard. A good sized crowd, considering the inclement weather of the night and the counter attractions in sports in this locality, was treated to a ball game that from a spectator standpoint was more interesting than the skirmish with the Big Red for each team was definitely in the running until the final minutes. First Period Bill Kerchusky started scoring with one in close. Brandt, Indiana substitute forward who was working well on the receiving end of cut plays, scored two quickly to give the visitors the lead. "Slim" Herr got through to tie the score. Deane, of Indiana, fouled "Whitey" Maslowski who made the shot good. Kerchusky contributed another goal and Brandt countered with one from the right hand side. Walinchus made two quick ones, one from the right and the other from the left to build a 11-8 advantage for the Huskies. Constantino, Indiana center, penetrated the Husky defense and so did Kerchusky. Constantino made a foul goal and DeMatt whipped it through from near the net to make the count 13-11. Cicero fouled Kerchusky who made his only free throw of the night. DeMatt made one from the center of the court but Kerchusky's shot in close gave Bloomsburg a 16-13 advantage at th?? quarter. Weather Second Period The Huskies, who in past games have found the going rough in the second quarter, battled on even terms in that period las??t nignt. Chesney's first contribution was a front shot. DeMatt made two foul throws. Chesney was back with a front shot. DeMatt made 1 of 2 free throws. "Slim" Herr sank one from the side to make the score 22- 16. Herr was good on two foul shots. Brandt started getting the range with a front shot. Constantino's foul toss was good. Cicero whipped the cords from the left side and Brandt made one from the right to reduce the Bloomsburg lead to a point. Herr got through to the front of the rim and converted. De- Matt made a foul goal and so did Herr to keep the Huskies in front at the half 27 to 24. Indiana Takes Lead Hogg opened the third period scoring with a goal from the right and Constantino's score in close put Indiana in front. Chesney's left hand shot regained the iead for Bloomsburg. Cicero got a pair quickly, one from the left and one from the front. Kerchusky made another in close to make the score 32-31, Indiana leading. Herr regained the lead for Bloomsburg with one from the left and Kerchusky was sure in close to put the Huskies in front 3 points. Hogg got busy again in front court but Chesney broke through once more. Walinchus made a foul goal. DeMatt sneaked through to reduce the Bloomsburg lead to 2 points. Chesney was good on one from near the foul line and then Cicero got through for a sleeper and it was Bloomsburg in front 40- 38 going into the last period. A The Finish Walinchus again penetrated the Indiana defense. Constantino made a one pointer. Chesney contributed a field goal, Constantino made a foul and Chesney another double decker. Kerchusky bolstered the Husky lead on rebound to 48 to 40. That was the safest the Huskies had been up to that time. Indiana rallied as Constantino got in close again. Hogg made a front shot and on a double foul Hogg was out on personals but made the point before he left. Indiana was back in the ball game, 48-45. Kerchusky made the Husky fans breathe easier with a closi one but Constantino made a foul goal and a field goal. Then the Huskies moved away. Maslowski made a foul shot. Herr was true on a front toss. Constantino was again loose and converted. Herr got loose twice in succession to put the game on ice as Bloomsburg triumphed 57-SU.
