Season In Game At Celina Friday

Marking their first Western Buck
eye league start of the season, Bluff
ton High cagers will oppose Celina
High this Friday night on the Mer-
Ger county court in the Pirates only
game of the week.
Little is known of Celina's
strength, but altho the Bull Dogs
do not have as fine record as that
Of Bluffton, the tilt is expected to
be bitterly contested all the way.
In last weeks competition, Belle
fontaine drubbed Celina, 35 to 20,
but the Logan county outfit is
heralded as having one of the best
teams in the league this winter.
Bellefontaine later walloped Van
Vert, 20 to Is, indicating the
strength of the outfit.
Buttons record thus far is an ex-

cellent one, and the Pirates are ex-
pected to finish we'll up in league
standings, and probably will be a
challenger for the championship all
the way. In seven games, the Dill

best records in this area.

Bluffton plays but one game a week,
all but one of which will be league

Jim Richcreek, sensational Ashland
sophomore guard, who scored 10
points against Bluffton college a
week ago last Saturday night, will
shortly be pushing leaders in the
Ohio collegiate scoring race if he
continues at his present pace. Fol-
lowing the Bluffton tilt, Richcreek
scored 27 points against Cedarville
and % more against Ohio Northern.
He may play guard position, but
how those points do roll in for him.
Incidentally Ashland remains one
of Ohio's two unbeaten teams, but
the Eagles have been doing it the
hard way. They racked up their
seventh and eighth consecutive VIC
tories last week, trouncing Cedar
vile, SO to 35, and finally beating
Ohio Northern in two overtime per-
iods, SO to SO. Akron, also unbeaten,
has won seven straight.
y
Bellefontaine is looming as a real
challenger for the Western Buckeye
cage league title this year, which
Bluffton also has hopes of claiming.
In their first league start Bellefon-
taine whipped Celina, 35 to 20, and
just to prove it was no accident the
Logan county crew next drubbed Van
Vert, 20 to 18. Bluffton plays Belle
fontaine at that place on Feb. 3.
Chuckovits, of Toledo, and Baum
holtz, of Ohio university, are continu-
ing their hotly waged contest for
scoring honors. At the close of last
week Chuckovits had 191 points in
IL games, an average of 17.3 points
per game, and Baumholtz had count
ed 164 in nine games, an average of
1872.
Beaverdam is continuing to set the
pace in Allen county league play.
Last week the Beavers defeated
Conner, 35 to %. Arnold and Beery
were high for the victors, the former
with II points and the latter with
nine.
