to advantage on the small floor by
throwing up a defensive alignment
that kept the Beavers from driving
in to effective scoring distance.
What the final result would be
was apparent early in the contest as
the Yellow Jackets roared away to
a % to 2 advantage At halftime
the home team held so to 13 lead,
and they continued to add to their
score regularly in the closing period.
Forward Dick Lord, who, so far
as the average cage fans recollection
serves, seems to have been playing
with Defiance for a decade or so,
dropped in 10 field goals and one
free throw for top scoring honors of
80 points. incidentally, the SO points
he made equalled exactly the total
output of the Bluffton team, and
everything his teammates scored, in
cluding 27 points by Center Olan
Smith, was just SO much gravy.
Defiance's conquest of the Beavers
by the top-heavy score constituted a
new season scoring mark in Ohio col
legiate basketball play.
There was little new about the per-
formance for either Bluffton or De-
fiance, however, for the Yellow Jack
cts took the measure of the locals at
Defiance last year by an almost iden-
teal score, 104 to 45.

Pirates Win From KentOn In Hectic
Game With Two Overtime Periods

Bluffton High cagers had to bat
tie through two hectic overtime per-
iods to preserve an unbeaten record
last Friday night, but they finally
came through with their eighth con-
secutive win of the season, 81 to
90 decision over Kenton High on the
Hardin county court.
1t was a stirring game all the
way, with Bluffton leading at the
first quarter, 6 to 3; Kenton ahead
at halftime, 13 to IL; and Bluffton
again out in front at the third quar-
ter mark, 20 to II.
The real thrills only began at that
point, however. At the opening of
the fourth quarter, Kenton spurted
out to % to 20 lead. Burkholder's
field goal tied the score at 22-all, but
Kenton again took the advantage,
"a to %.
As the game drew toward a close
Hermann dumped in two field goals
in succession to give Bluffton a 26
to "a edge Kenton battling to over
come the advantage missed one free
throw, then scored on two others, to
tie the score. Just before the game
ended, a missed free throw spoiled
Buttons hopes of escaping an over
time period.
In the first extra-time session,
Kenton captured the initial advant-
age with two free throws, but Bluff

ton again knotted the count on
Burkholder's seventh field goal.
A field goal by Hermann and
free throw by Burkholder in the Sec
ond overtime finally gave Bluffton
the victory, 81 to 20.
Kenton, new member in the
Western Buckeye league, proved it
self of strong calibre thruout the
game, altho Bluffton's attack was
crippled by the illness of two regu-
lars.
The Pirates had a decided edge
in scoring from the field, getting IL
field goals to nine for Kenton, but
the home teams IL points from the
free throw line against Bluffton's
seven helped them stay in the run
ming.
Barrett, Kenton center, with IS
points, and Burkholder, Bluffton
guard, with 16, battled it out for in
dividual scoring honors.

EX-HEPCATS: Joe Mayfield
and Sammy Green were just a
couple of hepcats a year ago. In
their zOOt suits and fIashy ties
they won the reputation as the
smallest 16-year old kids in HOus-

April when they traded in their
pleats and brass chains for a pair
of sailor suits.
Now they're still inseparable
friends, but the scene has switch
ed from Houston, Texas to a cargo
ship that plows the Pacific with
rations and ammunition for the
u. S. Marines.
Back in Houston recently, after
six months in the Solomon Islands,
Sammy told something of their
adventures, how they had stood
shoulder to shoulder manning a
machine gun during a series OF
Jap raids, how they had both be-
come first class Seamen and had
even shaken in our boots to-

Their narrowest escape, said
Sammy. occurred in the Solomons
when we were about 200 or 300
yards out. We had just dumped
our cargo and were headed home.
And then came an attack. 1t was
a suicide squadron of planes. One
of the bombs landed about Is feet
off the ship.
"The conclusion was terrific.
1t was just like a loud gun going
off almost in your ear, only many
times worse. When the torpedo
planes come in they come so close
to the ships you see the grins on
the JapS' faces"
