During the first half, which ended
with a tie score, Burkholder set the
scoring pace for the Buckeyes
against Wisconsin. He connected
for five field goals and one free
throw to rack up IL points in the
frst-half spree. At the close of the
game Burkholder had 13 points
Taylor, Ohio center, IA points, and
Schnittker, Is points.
Ohio cagers on Monday night ad-
vanced another step closer to the
Big Ten tide by downing Indiana,
Sc to 55, on the Indiana court. II
was the first time the Hoosiers had
been beaten at home.
In his junior year last season
Burkholder was second only tc
Schnittker in the total number OF
minutes played during the winter.
An accurate, snappy passer, one
of the best in the Big Ten, Burk-
holder fits well into the Ohio State
style of play, with scoring attempts
following preliminary maneuverine
in which the Buckeyes whip the bal
around the court at a fast tempo.
Defensively Burkholder is one Of
the best in the conference, and he
astounds experts by taking far more
than his share of the rebounds of
the boards despite the fact that he
is the shortest man among the Ohio
regulars, most of whom push uI
over the six-foot mark.
At Ohio, Burkholder is room
mate of End Jim Hague, who wor
the Rosebowl game for the Buckeye!
by kicking a field goal in the closing
minutes.

Bob BurkhOlder Stars On Ohio State
Cage Team Headed For Big Ten Title

A starting guard on the Ohio
State university basketball team for
the last three seasons, Buttons Bob
Burkholder, who as a senior is play
ing his last year, has been one of
the major factors in the success of
this winters aggregation which now
is out in front of the pack in the
race for the Big Ten championship.
Burkholder, the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey Burkholder, west of
Bluffton, was crack athlete for
Bluffton High school before enroll
ing at Ohio State.
Last summer he served as Bluffton
Recreation director, and supervised
one of the most successful programs
ever conducted with Bluffton young
sters.
At Ohio State, Burkholder has
been a regular on the basketball
team since the opening of the cage
season in his sophomore year.
lhe Biuffton youth and rVe otnef
seniors who have played together at
the university since they enrolled as
| freshmen are the nucleus of the
squad this year, which has got away
to a fast start and now are odds-on
favorites to win the Big 10 basket
ball title.
Burkholder, as one of the starting
guards, played every minute of last
Saturday nights game in which Ohio
State dumped Wisconsin, their clos.
est contender in the title chase, by a
score of 81 to At at Columbus. He
| and Dick Schnittker, the conferences
leading scorer, were the only Ohio
players who were in action all the
way.

AirWay
Airings
By The Ghost Raiders

Since the pensions are the
topic of the day, we received a
poem the other day that really
fills the bill. The title is MOD
ERN TIMES" written by Mr..
Edward Chase of Flint, Mich. 1t
goes like this:
In savage tribes when skulls
were thick and primal
passions ragged,
They had a method, sure and
quick,
To cure the blight of age,
For when a persons youth had
fled and years had sapped
his vim,
They simply knocked him on
the head and put and end
to him.
But we in this enlighted age, are
built of nobler stuff and so we
look with righteous rage
On deed so harsh and rough,
For when man grows old and
gray and week and short of
breath,
He simply take his job away
And let him starve to death.
This poem sure hits home
to the big shots, that is what
they would like to do very
much, let the older fellows who
could retire now take their jobs
away and let them die a paupers
death, after all the years he has
given his employer to reap the
harvest, they in turn put him
out on the curb TO beg for pea
nuts. The pensions we are ask
ing today sure won't make US
millionaires, but at least a liv.
ing. Are we not entitled to thai
much.
Well folks, this is the last arti-
Gle of the Ghost Raiders, mex
week a new reporter will take
over. So if you have any new:
please give it to the chairman Of
our unit.
We had two unlucky fellows
at the shop last week, both o.
them had bought a new car mo-
over month ago but in the pas
week they suffered minor mis-
haps. Could it be they tried t.
out do the other person. Tough
luck j. Mroz and B. Armitage.
Our unit meeting of Monday
might was fairly we'll attended
it could have been lot bigger
The main topic was the strike
vote. To you people who coulc
not get down may we say it wa!
a 81 against strike and 164 fol
strike.
1t seems the minutes of oul
meetings cannot be questioned
why? People think you cause
trouble when you ask a ques
ton.
We had the pleasure to have
at our meeting two very nice
people who will represent the
people of our Union. Your vote
will be appreciated.
