Fresh from a 39 to 25 victory
over Carey Friday night, Bluffton
High cagers vill tangle with three
foes during the coming week, as
they attempt to keep their record
unblemished by defeat.
Meeting the three opponents in a
five-day span, the Bluffton pace will
be stepped up considerably over that
of the first three weeks in which
they matched strength with only
two teams.
Games for the Pirates during the
coming week will take them away
from home for one assignment, and
pit them in two appearances on the
local court, where they have not ap
peared since beating Spencerville
here in Mid-November.

THE BLUFFTON NEWS, BLUFFTON, OHIO
the Pirates v open tffir 1950-51
competition in the Western Buckeye
league. Edgerton, coached by Russ
Gratz, former Bluffton high and
Bluffton college cage star, is un
defeated, and has set an enviable
pace as one of Northwestern Ohio’s
top point-getting teams so far this
season.
Delphos St. John’s, state cham
pions two years ago, perennially is
one of the best in this district. In
all-time competition with the Jays,
Bluffton has been shaded four times,
while winning only two. This means
Delphos is one of the few teams in
the district which has an edge over
the Pirates in cage competition.
Last year the Jays twice beat Bluff
ton, by scores of 52 to 36 and 64
to 44.
Wapakoneta, Friday night’s foe,
has bested Bluffton 10 times in 19
encounters, giving Bluffton a none
game edge in the series. The last
Wapak victory was in 1948, and the
Pirates won easily in the next two
years. Carey, beaten by Bluffton

Cory-Rawson Five
Takes League Lead
With three straight victories to
their credit in the Hancock county
“Little Eight” league, Howard Trost
miller’s Cory-Rawson basketball team
holds undisputed possession of first
place in the loop race.
In hopping out in front in the
loop competition, the Cory-Rawson
team dumped Arcadia, 48 to 41,
last Friday night on the Arcadia
court. Although Arcadia led at half
time, 26 to 22, Cory-Rawson uncork
ed a last-half spurt which ultimately
led to victory. The Hornets led at
the third quarter, 35 to 30.
Six-foot-five Mac McDowell, of
Cory-Rawson, was high point man
of the evening, with a total of 19
points, and also sparkled on the de
fense for the victory.
