Bluffton College Cagers Capture A
Thriller From Ohio Northern, 44-43

Ball hawking, aggressive defensive
and offensive play and above all a
will to win gave Bluffton college
cagers an upset "A to 43 victory
over Ohio Northern university last
Wednesday night on the local college
court.
Coach A. C. Burcky's abbreviated
cage squad, made up for the most
part of first-year candidates, match
ed everything the Northern Bears
could offer during the course of the
evening, and after hectic 40 minu-
tes in which the lead repeatedly
changed hands, it was the Beavers
who saw to it that they were out in
front when the final gun sounded.
That this years Bluffton team is
not one to give up trying was aptly
demonstrated in the opening minutes
of the tilt.
Undismayed when Northern bolted
away to an s to lead, the Beavers
kept plugging away, finally got their
offensive maneuvers into high gear
and came back with a stirring rally
that found them trailing by only one
point, 10 to 18, at halftime.
1t, was the second-half play, how
eyer, that left the spectators linn
fin their seats, as the two outfits
battled vt out on nip-and-tucl
basis all the way. First the advan

quarter scare into Bluffton High cage
followers in game here Saturday
night, but the powerful Pirate ag-
gregation turned on the heat again
in the closing minutes Of a thrilling
tilt to rack up their second straight
victory, AZ tc 81.
Bluffton moved into an early lead
in the contest, and maintained a
comfortable margin most of the way.
At halftime the Pirate lead was %
to IA, and for a time in the last
half the advantage was widened.
Loss of Gratz and Hermann via
the personal foul route, however, up
set Bluffton's offensive and defensive
alignment long enough for the visit
ors to stage last quarter rally that
put them in a threatening position
for a while.
The Pirates regained their ac-
customed stride in the closing minu-
ties, however, to again control the
game, and the contest ended with
Bluffton in front by five points, al
tho outscored in the last half by St.
Rose, % to 20.
