Manager Harry Klay’s protest
paid off last week after his Carma
Theatre eagers had lost their first
game in Allen County Independent
league play by a one-point margin.
Following the protest the contest
was forfeited to the Bluffton team
because Spencerville had used an
ineligible player.
When the game ended Spencerville
had been on the long end of a 49 to
48 score, but the protest gave the
victory to Bluffton, and virtually
clinched for them the league cham
pionship.
