REDSKINS LOSE TOUGH BATTLE
TO TOLEDO WAITE in THRILLER

A last-minute scoring spree
by tinymite Ray Spencer, speedy
Waite guard, spelled defeat for
Coach Norm Willbond's Redskins
| Friday night when the Port Clin-
ton quintet suffered another heart
breaking loss to the visiting To-
ledoans, 65 to 81.
There was another capacity
crowd filling every seat in the
auditorium, and these fans were
treated to the most thrilling game
seen here in many years.
Played at a terrific pace, the
game seemed ain the bag" for
the Redskins as they led 81 to
43 as the last quarter opened.
During the final quarter, the Wis
itors connected with accuracy and
tailed % points while the Red
skins scored only 10.
Six times during the game, the
score was tied. AS the Waite
Indians slowly evened the score
in the last minutes, the Port
Clinton fans kept their collective
fingers crossed. With less than
two minutes to play, the Indians
tied the score at 60 each.
Dave Krupp's free throw gave
the Redskins one-point advan-
tage but it was short-lived. O'Shea
and Spencer connected with two
pointers as the final seconds
ticked away. At this point,
Waite elected to freeze the ball
and the determined Redskins at
tempted to break up the mo-
nopoly.
During this thrilling fight, an
other foul was called against Port
Clinton and Spencer converted for
his 18th point of the quarter as
the game ended.
The diminutive Ray Spencer was
tagged "Dead-Eye" by local fans
as the tiny eager proved thorn
against the Redskins except dur
ing the third quarter when he
failed to score a point.
Spencer's "a points took indi-
vidual honors while his teammate,
Chuck O'Shea, had 81.
Dave Krupp scored 1S points
against the stiff opposition, thus
bringing his average up to
16 7/113 points per game. Bill
Belshaw connected for ID points,
six of which were scored in the
final minutes.
Andy Migala, who thrilled the
crowd with his spectacular long
shots from mid-court and the
side~lines, added II. Nook Mas
ing had nine, Bill Fritz scored
eight, and Curt Wepler sank his
only free throw.
Officials Grathwol and Hamblin
came in for some well-deserved
compliments for their whistle
blowing. They didn't slow the
terrific pace with unnecessary
fouls and thus pleased nearly
everyone.
Coach Mel Carl's Redskin Re-
serves had no difficulty with the
visiting Waite Reserves, winning
easily 46 to %.
Oak HarbOr Tonight
Only two more games remain
on the Redskin schedule before
the Class A tournament in San
dusky. This Friday night, Coach
Willbond's men travel to Oak
Harbor for the last Sandusky
Bay league game of the season.

Clinton on December 8, Port
Clinton was victorious Sc to 80.

Dependents Paid, Too
What about policies taken out
after 1913? There will be future
dividends for such policies. However,
they will be paid only to veterans
who do not let their policies lapse.
Veterans Administration officials
estimate that about 100000 depend
cnts of veterans killed in World War
IL also will get part Of the dividend.
They will get their share even if the
policies lapsed before the veteran
was killed. That's provided, Of course
that the policy was paid up for 3
months.
In general, VA officials said that
younger men will receive slightly
higher dividends than older men for
the same policy on the grounds that
in the long run younger age groups
contribute more to the surplus fund
which provides the dividend.

Here Are Some Answers To Veterans
Queries About Life Insurance Diyidnds

Button area World War II Vet
Grams are filling out forms for their
share of the National Service Life
Insurance dividends, payment of
which it is estimated will aggregate
$4,000 to service men in this area.
The average payment to local vet
Grams it is believed will average
5000 Payments are based on the
time insurance has been kept in
force and a considerable number Of
service men here are reported as
having kent up their insurance.
With applications for the dividend
have come numerous inquiries from
the prospective benefciaries. Here
are some pertinent questions and
answers:
How much will the veteran get?
From a few dollars to several han
dred The scale for computing the
dividend is still tentative" the VA
says. 1t will be based on such fac
tors as the time the policy was i'm
force, its face value, and tie age
Of the policyholder.
When will the money be paid?
Checks will start going out around
January at the rate of 100000 a
day. Payments, therefore, may be
completed within 3 months after
January.
Who is eligible for dividend
share? The bulk of the payments
viii go to World War II veterans.
But anyone who took out policy
between 1910 and 1948 and paid at
least 3 months premiums will get
something. For this first dividend
it does not matter if the policy has
lapsed
Who Gets Paid First?
Who will get paid first The
order in which the checks viii be
sent out has not been definitely de-
termined. However, processing of
the applications will not begin until
all are in. If a veteran has a low
serial number that does not mean
he will be among the first to be
paid.
Does a veteran have to pay any
thing for an application? No. The
VA warns veterans to use only off
cial forms which are free The Off
cial forms are designed to fit the
5000 machines which will process
the applications. Others will be
tossed out. VA offices and veterans
organizations will assist those who
need help in filing out the forms.
Why is the dividend being paid :?
The premiums were based on an old
mortality table, and fewer policy
holders have died from causes other
