FLA Starts Fund
For PA System
In Hiqh School

Bluffton High School Future
Farmers this week made the
initial contribution to a fund
aimed at providing a combina-
ton nter-communication-public
address system for all rooms in
the Bluffton High school build
ing.
Launching the campaign, the
Future Farmers presented a $75
check to Supt. Aaron B. Murray
at the chapel meeting of the en-
tire student body.
In furthering the program,
other organizations are asked
to make contributions until funds
are raised to defray the estimat-
ed cost of from $500 to $4,000.
Following installation of the
system, it would be possible to
"pipe" radio programs to all
rooms or any designated rooms,
in furthering the educational
program of the school. In addi-
ton the system would serve
normal public address purposes.
Gift of the Future Farmers
of America was in commemora-
ton of the 25th anniversary of
the F. F. A. in the United
States.

contest on the Bluffton court We'd

Beavers play following a
Today layof during examination
week.
In an earlier meeting between the
two teams at Tiffin, the Heidelberg
outfit was the winner, and local fans
will have a chance to see in action
one of the best collegiate outfits in
the state with appearance of the
Student Princes here. O.,
Buttons assignment against Hell
delberg will be the first game for
the Beavers following last Satur-
days heart-breaker at Ashland when
the Eagles came up with six points
in the last half minute to cop an
81 to IA decision.
Led by big John Moser, who rack
ed 27 points, the Beavers had a
chance right up until the disastrous
closing seconds to come up with
their initial Mid Ohio league victory
of the season.
Only a few points separated the
two teams all the way as they
waged a see-saw scoring battle.
Ashland led at the quarter, 10 to IL,
and at halftime, 40 to 80.
By the close of the third stanza,
Bluffton cagers had taken the lead,
SO to So, but the closing rush of the
Eagles choked off Beaver victory
hopes.

nearby Columbus Grove, where they
will take a second crack at the Put
nam county crew.
During a Christmas recess basket
ball tournament played at the Bluff
ton college gymnasium, the Grove
team easily defeated Bluffton in
tournament finals, but followers of
the "in-and-out" Pirates hope the
locals will come up with n of their
good nights in the second meeting of
the two old foes. So far this season,
however, Columbus Grove has lost
only one game and the Bluffton team
will be facing a tough assignment in
the mid-week clash.
Against Bellefontaine, Button also
will be the underdog, but following
the Pirates victory over Kenton two
weeks ago there are hopes that on
their best nights the locals can give
any member of the WBL all they
want in the way of competition.
Last week ~Bellefontaine tuned up
for its assignment against Bluffton
by trouncing Wapakoneta, SO to SO.
Although Bluffton also defeated the
Wapakoneta team the margin of
victory was considerably narrower,
56-52.
The Bluffton bid for a third WBL
victory turned into disaster for the
Pirates Friday night on their home
court when st. Marys romped away
with a decisive 73 to 40 victory. So
far in league play, Bluffton has won
over Wapakoneta and Kenton, while
losing to Shawnee, Celina and St
Marys.
In last Fridays contest, the visitors
held a Is to 7 edge at the close of
the first quarter, then put On a &C.
