Basketball League
Because a few players failed to
show up last Monday, the opening of
formal basketball play had to be
postponed. Due to the limited num
ber reporting for organization, teams
were selected w’ith only five players
on each.
In this way, four teams were
selected, the thought being, the more
the merrier. This week there were
a few newcomers, Bob Zimmerman,
Clyde Fisher, Dick Rockey, Jack
Clark and Bob Luginbuhl. As soon
as the captains can get together,
they will select players from this
group in order of their first selec
tion. Next Monday the same games
will be scheduled.
First game Rockets vs. Cornhusk
ers 7:30.
Second game Midgets vs. Tailend
ers 8:30.
The teams will play 20 minute
halves with a 10 minute intermis
sion. Those playing the second
game will be allowed a 10 minute
warmup.
We can add new players anytime.
Anyone having next Monday evening
free can come to the high school
gym and play on a team that same
night.

THE BLUFFTON NEWS, BLUFFTON, OHIO
In a schedule that does not call
for them to play at home again
until after the Christmas holiday
season, Bluffton college cagers will
meet two foes on foreign courts in
games of the next week.
Saturday night the Beavers will
meet a strong Capital university
team at Columbus, and next Tuesday
night they will take on Findlay col
lege at Findlay.
Following those two starts, the
Bluffton team will have only one
more game before the holidays, a
tilt with Ohio Northern at Ada on
December 16.
Last Wednedsay night at Bowling
Green, the Beavers fell before the
top-ranking Falcons, 73 to 26. Half
time score was Bowling Green 33,
Bluffton 17.
Against Bluffton, the Bow’ling
Green coach used 19 men. A former
Bluffton player, Ernie Raber, tied as
high-point man of the evening,
garnering 11 points against the
After racking up their first
victory of the season at Carey last
Friday night by a score of 39 to 31,
•Bluffton High cagers will attempt to
repeat at home this Saturday in a
tilt with New Knoxville on the Bluff
ton court.
The lanky Rangers will be one of
the finest teams the Pirates will
have on their card this winter, and
some indication of the sort of scor
ing local fans can anticipate can be
seen in results of the New Knoxville
opener against Buckland, which the
Rangers won, by a score of 79 to
44.
New Knoxville plays Indiana style
basketball, and fans can expect
wide-open game with plenty of thrills
in the Saturday night assignment.
Following the tilt with the Rang
ers, Bluffton will face only two more
foes before the holidays. On Dec.
17, the Pirates will go to Hicksville,
and a Dec. 21 meeting with Pandora
will be on the local court.
Last Friday night at Carey, the
Lowry-coached outfit broke into the
win column for the first time with a
39 to 31 decision, after leading all
the way.
Bluffton held a slender edge at
Halftime, 22 to 19, but pulled away
to a more comfortable margin in the
last half.
Don Schmidt and Ray Wilch paced
the Pirate scoring attack, with
Schmidt racking up 13 points, while
Wilch was getting 11.
