Both of Bluffton college’s games
will be out of town. On Friday
night the Beavers will oppose Kent
State at Kent, and Saturday night’s
assignment will take the Burcky
men to Gambier where they will tan

Bluffton High eagers lost their
Opening start last week, as also did
Lima South and Rawson, this week’s
opponents of the Pirates.

ville, 40 to 26 Lima South was
nosed out by St. Marys, 26 to 25,
and Rawson lost to Ottawa Public,
33 to 23.
All three teams likely will show
quite a bit of improvement this week,

Bluffton college eagers will be pit
ted against two Ohio conference
teams in games of the week-end.
Kent State always has one of the
better cage outfits in the state, and
this year’s aggregation is hailed in
advance as one of the best produced
in several years.
Kenyon is a new foe on Bluffton’s
basketball schedule, and little is
known about the probable strength
of the Gambier school. Kenyon, how
ever, will have the advantage of
playing on its home floor.

Bluffton’s untried eagers were un
able to keep pace with a veteran
Vaughnsville outfit at Vaughnsville
last Friday night, and went down to
defeat by a score of 40 to 26.
Failure to hit the ba ket from the
floor hurt the Pirates quite a bit in
their opening conte During the en
tire first half the 1 failed to score
a field goal, and ir only success
was from the free throw- line.
First quarter pl ind both teams
unable to score co istently ,and the
score at the end of the period was 2
to 2.
Vaughnsville beg connecting from
the field in the sec i period, howev
er, and at the halfto the home team
was out in front 15 7. All of Bluff
ton’s points had been tallied on char
ity tosses, seven of eleven attempts
being successful.
In the third quarter, Bluffton’s at
tack began functioning for the first
time, and the Pirates rolled up 13
points on six field goals and one free
throw. Vaughnsville got 14 points in
the same session, however, and the
score at the end of the period was 29
to 20, with Bluffton still trailing.
The third quarter rally marked
Bluffton’s last serious bid, for in the
Bowling Green university’s strong
veteran quintet proved too much for
Bluffton college’s green cage team
last Saturday night on the Bluffton
floor, and the Falcons copped the de
cision 48 to 29.
After pulling away to an early lead
the Bowling Greer crew widened the
margin gradually with a barrage of
successful shots from the floor.
Bluffton started slowly, and failed
to score during the first nine minutes
of the contest.
Plenty of men saw action in the
game, Bluffton using 11 and Bowling
Green throwing 15 men into the me
lee. Only three of the 11 who played
for Bluffton failed to score.
Altho rolling up an impressive total
of 48 points, Bowling Green had no
one particular brilliant star. Madar
as, lanky center, was the top point
getter for the visitors with 12, but
on the w-hole the shooting was fairly
evenly shared by the veteran Falcons.
Reichenbach with nine points was
the pace-setter for Bluffton. Backen
sto got seven to stand next high.
It was the first start of the season
for both teams and the experience of
the veteran Bowling Green outfit was
apparent in the teams’ smoothly func­
Bluffton Boosters romped to an
easy victory in their opening con
test of the season by trouncing
Bradfield Center, 22 to 15, in Lima
league play last Thursday.
Bluffton and Bradfield were tied
at the close of the first quarter, 6
to 6, but th Boosters pulled ahead
to a 14 to 10 lead at halftime. At
the close of the third quarter the
count was 20 to 12.
Diller, of Bluffton, was the top
scorer of the evening with a six
point total, and Jim Morrison, of
the same team, got five.
