Bluffton High cagers lost two
heart breaking decisions last week
a 80 to 81 setback at the hands of
Pandora on Wednesday night and a

to 21, near the close of the period.
Bluffton came thru with another
fielder just before the whistle, how
ever, to have the lead at the quarter,
% to %.
The Pirates faltered again, in the
opening minutes of the fourth stanza
permitting the visitors to take the
long end of 20 to "a score.
Battling uphill, the Burckymen
tied the score at 29-all, but Pandora
ran up three more points, 80 to 20,
and Lees field goal in the closing
seconds was one point shy of tying
the score.
Pandora got IL field goals and
eight free throws, against Buttons
IL fielders and nine charity tosses.
Ada and Bluffton also had a
fiercely contested battle in their
meeting at Ada Friday before the
Bulldogs eked out a 48 to As win.
After the score had been tied
three times Ada held 13 to IL lead
at the end of the first quarter. Bluff
ton then went out in front, IL to 10,
but the Bulldogs spurted to lead at
the intermission, II to 21.

tournament at Celina during the

Fox Called yermin in Bill up Before
House Committee
Southern Ohio fox hunters and
northeastern Ohio farmers have very
different ideas on how reynard should
be treated.
In the southern hill country, where
fox hunting is rated above the sport
of kings, followers of the chase have
high regard for the fox and would
have the conservation department
continue to protect him as fur-bear-
ing animal most of the year in that
section.
But in the northeastern section, the
farmers can see no good in the fox at
all and want him put on the vermin
list subject to execution at all times
with bounty up to Sd.
So went the argument before the
house conservation committee which
is considering a bill to call him ver-
min.
