Bluffton colleges Beavers, paced
by the booming bat of rightfielder
Emil Knorr and the pitching of Jim
Bishop, opened their 1856 baseball
season in fine style on the college
field last Friday afternoon with an
8-3 victory over Alma, Mich, college.
Knorr, a football playing his first
season as a regular collected three
doubles and single in four trips
to the plate. Bishop, senior right
handler. hurled three-hit ball in his
first start of the season.
The Beavers were a question mark
for Coach A. G. Burcky, who this
season starts his 34th year at the
helm of the baseball team. They left
little doubt in his mind as they bang
ed out IL hits in winning the contest
with comparative ease. They had been
outdoors only few times prior to
the game.
The locals started off on Alma's
Springfield in the first inning coming
up with two markers. The scoring
was highlighted by Knorr's first two
bagger. Bluffton got a single run in
the third, two more in the fifth and

Bluffton college thinclads get their
first test of the season Saturday
when they journey to Delaware to
meet an always tough Ohio Wesleyan
university track and field team on
the Bobcats field.
The test will be a severe one for
the Beavers as they have only five
members of last years teams return
ing plus several men who saw action
with the tracksters several years ago.
The loss of number of outstanding
sprinters through scholastic trouble
and some who did not return to
school last fall will hurt considerably.
Especially considering the fact that
Coach Ken Mast relied on his speed
on the cinder paths to offset the lack
of field strength.
Notable in their absence will be
Willie Taylor, outstanding 100, 22O
and relay competitor, Elvan Sloan,
44O standout, also a relay team
member, Don Henderson, 440 and
relays and Eugene McMullen, shot
putter, who last year appeared on
his way to giving the Beavers a
great lift in the field events. Taylor
and McMullen ran into book trouble
The others did not return to school.

Beaver Track Team Opens
At Ohio Wesleyan Saturday

Expected to take up some of this
slack is Ebert Detention. The speedy
Army veteran competed in Europe
against Jim Golliday, world record
holder from Northwestern university.
Dubenion is exceptionally fast and
should be sure point getter, barring
injury.
Returning from last years squad
are Jim Gundy, 440, a big question
mark as he has a bone in his foot
that is slow to heal; John Basinger,
half mile; Lacerne Schirch, hurdles;
and Don Nussbaum and Bill Ram
seyer, both milers.
Back after a couple years absence
from the squad are Ken Berkey, 44O
and half miller from Mansfield, and
Dick Cripe, a member of the 1854
team.
New men expected to help are
distance runners, Gary Stenson,
Larry Conrad and Jim Dirks. In the
field events Mast will rely upon Bob
Pickens and Dick Wolford.
A week from Saturday the Beavers
engage Capital university at Colum-
bus. Their first home meet is April
25 in triangular meet with Ashland
and Defiance.

Win Over Pirates

Bluffton high schools Pirates per-
mitted Cory-Rawson to score all
unearned runs as the Hornets defeat
ed the locals 8-5 Wednesday afternoon
of last week at Harmon Field in the
opener for both clubs.
The Pirates just did not seem to
know what to do with the ball as
they had numerous mental lapses as
we'll as fielding miscues. They were
guilty of some IL errors, all but two
of these by the infield.
The only bright spot in the Pirates
offense was Don Alspach. The lanky
centerfielder, .32O hitter last season
for the Harris-coached club, garnered
half of the locals hits as he banged
out three saftoies in four times al
the plate.
Shortstop Bob Fields led the Hor-
nets at the plate with a double anc
two singles in five times at bat.
The Hornets came up with foul
runs in the first inning as the Pirate:
missed two double play chances. They
added single runs in the second ant
sixth innings.
Bluffton scored one in the frs
inning, two in the fourth and one il
the fifth ad sixth frames.
George Keller and Reiter formet
the battery for the visitors with jim
Fisher and Dave Shumaker working
for the Pirates. Both clubs collecte,
six hits in the game.

Knorr's third double clearing the
bases.
Alma scored all three of their runs
in the top of the third. They put
together a single, double, a walk and
an error for their only serious
threat of the game. A double play
which was started by Bishop choked
off the only other offensive thrust
of the visitors.
Alma had dropped their opener the
day before to Ohio Wesleyan. The
Scots hit the ball hard but usually
right at the Beaver outfielders. Carl
