Bluffton college eagers lost two
starts during the last week, falling
before Findlay, 63 to 42, in a game
on the home floor last Wednesday,
and taking a 104 to 45 drubbing at
Defiance on Saturday.
In the Findlay contest, the Burcky
men got away to a fast start and
held an 11 to 5 lead about midway
through the first half.
rom this point, however, the
Beavers were unable to stem Find
lay’s sharp-shooting attack and the
visitors went on to win a 21-point
margin. At halftime the score was
26 to 19.
Zuercher, Findlay’s ace forward,
was high with 19 points, and Wil
jama, an Orange guard, tallied 16.
Lehman led Bluffton with 11 points
and Heiks got nine.
Everything went wrong for the
Beavers at Defiance, and altho they
had beaten the Yellow Jackets earl
ier in the season, they absorbed their
worst beating of the year on the
band-box floor of the home team.
Defiance was on a scoring rampage,
and Bluffton’s morale crumbled as
the game progressed, to permit the
runaway score.

College Loses To Pirates Lose To ONV Course In Radio
Findlay, Defiance Van Wert, 41-40 Will Be Given Here
After leading for two quarters,
Bluffton High eagers fell behind in
the last half and lost a heart-break
ing 41 to 40 decision to Van Wert
in a Western Buckeye league contest
at that place, last Friday.
Neither team did much in the way
of scoring in the first quarter. Bluff
ton drew first blood with a free
throw, then the advantage veered to
Van Wert on a field goal and a
charity toss.
The Pirates came back with two
fielders, however, to hold a 5 to 3
edge as the quarter ended, and they
dominated play in the opening min
utes of the second stanza, having a
12 to 7 advantage at one time. Score
at halftime was 18 to 16, with Bluff
ton out in front.
In the third quarter the score
changed hands four times, but the
Cougars led, 28 to 27, when the
period closed.
Bluffton battled courageously thru
a disheartening four period that
found them always within a point
or two of the home team, but the
Pirates never quite managed to over
come Van Wert’s advantage.
With two minutes remaining, the
Dillermen were trailing by four
points and altho they closed the gap
somewhat with a field goal and a
foul in the closing seconds their bid
fell just short of tying the score.
John Herrmann, of Bluffton, top
ped the scoring parade with 17
points Russ Gratz got 12, and Rich
Gratz added seven more. Bodkins
was high for Van Wert with 15.

In Memoriam
In Memory of Father
Dear father you have left us,
But your memory lingers on
And in the great hereafter
We pray that it may be God’s will.
In the earth made new and perfect,
We may meet again to live
Where there will be no more parting
A blessing that only God can give.
