Trailing midway through the final period by two points, Bluffton High’s undefeated eagers cut loose with a seven-point splurge while holding their opponents scoreless to down Lima St. Rose, 52 to 47, Tuesday night on the Bluffton floor. It was the eighth consecutive vic tory of the season for the Pirates, but St. Rose, beaten only once before this year, proved the strongest foes the locals have faced to date. The visitors held the edge at the close of the first quarter, 13 to 12, after the score had been tied four times and the lead had changed hands on the same number of occa sions. Bluffton’s offensive maneuvers worked better in the second period, however, and at halftime the locals had pulled away to a 26 to 21 lead, but in the third quarter St. Rose again narrowed the gap to trail by only one point, 40 to 39, at the end of the stanza. The fourth quarter was a thriller all the way, with St. Rose knotting the count 41 to 41, shortly after the opening of the period and two minutes later the visitors were out in front 44 to 43. Then, midway thru the quarter, with the count standing 47 to 45, St. Rose, Bluffton’s defense looked its best of the year as the Pirates held the visitors scoreless the rest of the way, while they were tallying the seven points that gave them victory.

Principal objection of the older teachers is said to center on salaries paid Mr. and Mrs, Spayth and Mar tin. Spayth was hired at the begin ning of the second semester last year, and the other two assumed teaching duties here this fall. In addition to the debated question of salary schedules, the board also has faced the problem of determining how much of approximately $10,000 additional provided by the levy each year will go for teachers pay. In preliminary discussion it has been indicated that approximately half of the total will be set aside for badly needed maintenance of buildings and equipment.
