■week, appearing on Saturday and
Tuesday nights, while the high school
schedule the Pirates to Van Wert for
their only contest of the week.
The complete schedule:
Friday
High School at Van Wert
Saturday
Wilberforce State vs College, here
Tuesday
Defiance vs College, here
Although Bluffton High’s lone tilt
will be out of town, it will be the
center of interest Friday night, for
Bluffton hopes of winning or tying
for the Western Buckeye league
crown mean the Pirates must come
up with victories in their last two
tilts.
In the meantime, how’ever, the pur
suit of the title is growing more dif
ficult, for barring upsets St. Marys
should cop the championship with an
unblemished record.
After St. Marys had topped the
Pirates by one point, there had been
hopes Bellefontaine might throw the

Bluffton college cagers will meet
two strong foes, but the Beavers are
traveling at their best clip of the
year, and have high hopes of revers
ing early season defeats suffered at
the hands of Defiance and Wilber-
force State.
The Yellow Jackets came from be

Bluffton at Defiance, and the Beavers
will be after revenge this week. Bluff
ton also played excellent ball at Wil
berforce three weeks ago, and al
though the negro outfit was undefeat

them a real scare before succumbing.

the first game of league play last
Wednesday evening.
The Sportsmen, after trailing for
more than a quarter, suddenly came
to life as Everett, Pogue, and Hilty
started the scoring spree. The
above trio tallied 51 points with
Everett’s 22 being high.
Columbus Grove obviously missed
their stellar forward Tudor who has
been their leading scorer so far.

Pandora surged back to close Mt.
Cory’s lead to 13-12 at halftime and
after going ahead in the second
half successfully staved off Mt.
Cory’s efforts.
Etter garnered 11 points before

Highlighting this Wednesday’s
card will be the Mt. Cory-Bluffton
Sportsman game.
Appearing to be much stronger
than last round when they dropped
a 34-32 decision to Mt. Cory, the
Sportsman have a good chance of
defeating them tonight providing
they can stop Bob King and Dave
Anderson.
Pandora City should win their
game with Lafayette and Pandora
Milling Co. should not encounter too
much trouble with Columbus Grove.

The Poultry Disease Laboratory
investigated 800 cases of poultry
disease in its first year of operation
at Ohio State University. Newcastle
disease is spreading in the state, and
there is no remedy for that disease
but efforts are being made to develop
a vaccine. Coccidiosis and foul pa
ralysis cause the greatest poultry
losses. Sanitation and the isolation of
sick birds cut disease losses.

Gibson
Bluffton college’s resurgent cagers,
recovering from a disastrous early
season start, won and lost tilts by
one-point margins in games played
last week with Cedarville and Ohio
Northern.
Coming from behind in the last
minute, the Beavers tripped up
Cedarville, 60 to 59, at that place
last Wednesday night to remain un
defeated in Ohio-Indiana collegiate
league play.
Ohio Northern, on the other hand,
reversed the tables and overcame a
one-point Bluffton lead in the last
25 seconds to go home with a 51 to
50 victory in a thriller played on the
local court.
Bluffton’s battle with Northern,
one of the school’s oldest foes, was
bitterly fought all the way. The
Beavers started slowly, and trailed
6 to 0, and again, 16 to 5, before
their attack really began function
ing.
From that point, Bluffton spurted
to take the advantage at halftime,
22 to 20, and at one point in the
rally scored 13 points while holding
the visitors scoreless.
Northern spurted again at the

opening of the second half, holding
the advantage, 27 to 22, and 33 to
27 before Bluffton’s attack started
rolling again. Then the Beavers
clicked for 16 points while the Bears
were scoreless, and appeared headed
for certain victory, with a 43 to 33
lead with seven minutes remaining.
At that point, however, the
Beavers began missing shots that
formerly had clicked and Northern
pulled up steadily to tie the score
at 46-all with two minutes to go.
It was a wild finish from that
point, with the lead changing hand
five times, but Northern’s fielder in
the 1ast 25 seconds clinched the
victory for the Bears.
Russ Gratz, back in college after a
semester’s absence, banged 13 points
through the nets to lead the Bluff
ton attack, but he had able assist
ance from Rich Gratz and Yoder,
each of whom bagged 10, and Stahl,
who got nine.
