College Loses To
Northern, Toledo

Jittery play resulted in defeat of
the Bluffton college baseball team in
their first two games of the season,
last week, with one bad inning doing
the damage on both occasions.
Playing at Toledo university on
Wednesday, the Burckymen absorbed
a f3 to 6 beating; and in peform-
ance on the Ohio Northern field last
Friday, Bluffton was bested IL to g..
Disaster struck in the first inning
at Toledo, with the Rockets driving
in six runs before the team from
the larger school was retired.
After their first-inning shakiness,
however, Bluffton rallied sharply
and played their opponents on even
terms for the remainder of the con-
test.
Buttons scoring came in the Sec
ond inning when two runs crossed
the plate; in the fifth when another
brace was scored, and in the eighth
when the last attempt was made to
overhaul the wide first inning ad-
vantage.
John Luginbuhl started on the
mound for Bluffton, and was re-
lieved by Herb Traucht in the fifth.
Al Ramseyer dubbed out two sin
giles to lead the Burckymen's hitting.
Bluffton's only extra-base blow was a
double by Radulovich, with two men
aboard, in the eighth stanza.
A nine-run rally in the eighth in
ming gave Ohio Northern an IL to 3
victory over the Beavers Friday
afternoon on the Ada diamond.
Previous to the Bears uprising,
Bluffton held a to lead, but the
jitters finally caught up with Coach
A. C. Burcky's green hands and the
home team came thru to victory.
Traucht, Luginbuhl and Schelman
worked on the mound for Bluffton.
Backensto and Snyder topped the
Beaver batsmen, each garnering two
safeties.
Hitting honors were about equally
shared, Northern getting eight and
Bluffton seven. The Beavers COM
mitted eight errors, however, to con-
tribute to their downfall.

Third Inning ProUes
Downfall OF Beavers


A disastrous third inning proved
fatal to aspirations of Coach Burcky's
Bluffton college baseball nine. TO
score a victory over Findlay college
on the Findlay diamond, Tuesday
afternoon.
When rain halted the game in the
seventh inning, the Findlay crew
took home the bacon by score of
z to a.
Five of Findlay's seven tallies
were chalked up in the fatal third
inning when Radulovich, the Beav-
er's luckless pitcher was pounded all
over the lot by Findlay batsmen. 1t
was all done on three singles, a
double, two errors and walk.
Radulovich was replaced on the
mound by Luginbuhl in the fourth
frame when the Findlay outfit an
nexed two more runs.
The Beavers opened the scoring
with two runs in the second inning,
one in the fifth and one in the
seventh.

meet.
BIuffton shared in six first place
honors of 15 events, winning the rib
bons outright in three instances and
tying for first place in three others.
Soash was first in the 440-yard
dash; tied for first in the high jump,
and was third in the broad Jump.
Brown brought home two frsts by
winning honors in both the 100 and
220-yard dashes.
Penhorwood, freshman, tied for
first in the broad jump; rand second
in the 120-yard high hurdles; and
tied for first in the high jump.
Burkholder was in on quite a bit
of the scoring with a third in the
220-yard dash; fourth place in the
100-yard dash; and third in the 220-
yard low hurdles.
Fretz was fourth in the 220-yard
low hurdles; fourth in the high
Jump, and fourth in the shot put.
Sommers took second place in the
discus event; and Welker finished
third in the mile run.
Bluffton's thinclads have had little
opportunity to work out this spring,
because of inclement weather, and
showing of the team against the
Ohio conference schools came as a
distinct surprise.
