Bluffton's untried cagers were un-
able to keep pace with a veteran
Vaughnsville outfit at Vaughnsville
last Friday night, and went down to
defeat by score of 40 to 26.
Failure to hit the basket from the
floor hurt the Pirates quite bit in
their opening contest During the en-
tire first half the locals failed to score
a field goal, and their only success
was from the free throw line.
First quarter play found both teams
unable to score consistently and the
score at the end of the period was 2
to 2.
Vaughnsville began connecting from
the field in the second period, howev-
er, and at the halftime the home team
was out in front Is to T. All of Bluff
tons points had been tailed on char
ity tosses, seven of eleven attempts
being successful.
In the third quarter, Buttons at
tack began functioning for the first
time, and the Pirates rolled up 13
points on six field goals and one free
throw. Vaughnsville got IA points in
the same session, however, and the
score at the end of the period was 20
to 20, with Bluffton still trailing.

college cagers, but only one Of the
contests will be on the home court.
Bluffton High will meet Rawson

]. J. Boggs, of Columbus, an in

Bluffton College Drops Opening
Cage Tilt To Bowling Green, 1929

Bowling Green university's strong
veteran quintet proved too much for
Bluffton colleges green cage team
last Saturday night on the Bluffton
floor, and the Falcons copied the de-
cision 48 to 20.
After pulling away to an. early lead
the Bowling Green crew widened the
margin gradually with a barrage of
successful shots from the floor.
Bluffton started slowly, and failed
to score during the first nine minutes
of the contest.
Plenty of men saw action in the
game, Bluffton using II and Bowling
Green throwing Is men into the me-
lee. Only three of the II who played
for Bluffton failed to score.
Altho rolling up an impressive total
of 48 points, Bowling Green had no
one particular brilliant star. Madar-
as, lanky center, was the top point
getter for the visitors with IL, but
on the whole the shooting was fairly
evenly shared by the veteran Falcons.
Reichenbach with nine points was
the pace-setter for Bluffton. Backen-
sto got seven to stand next high.
1t was the first start of the season
for both teams and the experience of
the veteran Bowling Green outfit was
apparent in the teams smoothly func-

Oh, yes. There was the business
of getting our territory admitted
into the union as state. Finding q
suitable name for it was no small
job, but we seem to have done a
fairly good job of that. OF course.
there was no particular drawback
in persuading the powers that be-
to admit q thrifty growing am
bilious resourceful Republican
commonwealth into their union.
Good right-voting Senators were in
good demand and bringing a big
price. Remember that this isn't
the only time in the history of our
fair nation that its welfare has
been menanced by the Solid South
Democrat for President. All this
was fairly easy. But the date Of adj
mission had to be carefully plan
ned and decided upon.
I suppose this all sounds rather
foolish to you as you look back
upon it and I never expect to get
any credit for my part in it or the
endless hours of worry spent in
arguing over it. How I argued and
talked. How raved and harangued,
trip after trip to Washington, D. G.
upon my trusted and trustworthy
pony just for date. But now you
can all take advantage of our fore
sight How would you like to sit

joy the States Day program dur
ing a January snow storm, an April
wind storm, a foggy December day
or a real hot July afternoon. !
"Of course it makes difference"
I told them. It must be half way
between Fourth of July and Christ

celebrate. Before the ditch farm
ers have given up all hope of max
ing anything for the year and the
wheat farmers still have some of
their conservation money left. When
the summer sun Is friendly and the
winds are playful and every
one is in a good humor and yet have
time to celebrate.
