dication as to whether the Beavers
this year will again have the strength
to fight it out with Cedarville for the
league pennant. Last year Cedarville
barely managed to clinch the cham
pionship by a O03 percentage point
margin over Bluffton.
Although the season-opener was
rained-out last Friday, the Beavers
got their first workout against inter
collegiate competition with an II to 5
decision over Ohio Northern in a
regulation distance practice game
Wednesday of last week on the
Beaver diamond.
Three veteran Bluffton hurlers gave
up only six hits to Northern's Bears
in the practice tilt.
Ken Bishop was the hitting star for
the Beavers, driving in five runs with
two singles. Shelly and Tice each
also had two hits.
Northern drew first blood in the
contest, but the Beavers took control
in the second inning, scoring three
runs to overcome a two-run Bear
advantage. Three more Bluffton runs
We're tailed in the fourth inning; an
other brace crossed the plate in the
seventh, and the last two came in the
eighth inning.

COUNCIL ORDERS
Continued from Page l


Tension reflected in the Wednesday
night discussion stemmed from an un-
official decision reached by majority
sentiment of councilmen at meeting
back on February 16 when there was
agreement that negotiating with
Motter cease and that court action be
instituted.
At several points the discussion
grew heated in consideration of why
an earlier showdown has not been
forthcoming in view of the sentiment
at that time.
Off-the-record" discussion of the
Motter problem at recessed meeting
of the council week ago Monday
came following charges expressed at
the session that too much information
regarding the handling the Motter
easement had been appearing in The
Bluffton News, and that the date
under consideration that night was
not for publication.
In addition to their decision on the
Motter case at last Wednesdays
meeting, the council also voted unan-
imously that it was their opinion that
the Little Riley intercepting sewer
should follow the course of the stream
where it leaves the boundary of the
Motter farm and should pass through
the back yards of five lots on the west
side of Kibler street between the
Motter farm and the Grove street
road.
