only four points, all on free throws,
Bluffton Highs undefeated cagers
came right back to average more

1t was the Pirates 10th consecutive
victory of the season, and their third
win in Western league play, with
three league tilts remaining to be
played.
Against st. Marys the locals got
away to their slowest start of the
season, and, missing repeatedly in
shots from the floor, the team had to
depend on free throws for all their
first-period scoring.
In the meantime, st. Marys was
able to hit four fielders and one
free throw to assume a 8 to a lead
when the quarter ended
Bluffton came roaring back in the
next period, however, to tie the
count at nine-all, then after the
