Pirate Basketball Teams Have Advanced
To State Tourney Six Times Since '23

"Often bridesmaid but never the
bride" is phrase heard many times
IN connection with Pirate basketball
teams through the years. Six times
since 1923, when the state tourna-
ments were divided into class A and
B sections, Bluffton teams have been
entered in the classic. They have
never won and only once-in 1929
did they reach the finals.
The last time they went to the state
tournament in 1912 the Pirates held
the record for class B teams in num-
Der of times advancing to the state
tourney. They were eliminated in the
first round three times, 1923, 1881
and 1910, in the second round in 1887
and fell in the semi-finals in 1912.
Dwight Diller appeared under the
Pirate banner three times in the
classic. He was a regular on the 1881
team and piloted the cagers of 1910
and 1912. Garfield Griffith also
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-05-24

appeared in the tournament three
times, twice as player, 1929 and
1881, and as coach of the 1887 squad.
Other Pirate cagers who appeared
in the classic twice were: Howard
Triplehorn, O'Dell Alspach, Ross
Irwin, Manley Thompson, '29, 81;
Norman Beidler, Russ Gratz, John
Hermann, Roger Howe, Bob Cooney,
and Pete Schmidt, 40, '42. Dale Reich
enbach was center on the 1887 team
and coached Grand Rapids to the
state championship in 1851.
Victors over the Pirates in the state
tournament were: Wellsville, 1923;
Akron st. Marys, 1929; McConnels-
vile, 1881; Midvale, 1887 and 1910;
Bremen, 1912.

ment squads follows:

BLOOMER GIRL DAYS

Attendance at sports events was
considered a must back in 1913. From
the February 13 issue Of The Bluff
ton News of that year sports item
read:
The curtain raiser to the Wilber-
force university-Central Mennonite
college basketball game win be be-
tween the Bluffton high school girls
and the Varsity girls. Are you going
to miss this opportunity? A double
header for 20 cents Lovers of
athletics! We must fill the bleachers,
we must have rooters."
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-05-24

lied basis apparently had its begin
ming at Bluffton high school back in
1901 when the first eleven to repre-
sent the school took to the field at
Columbus Grove.
AS far as can be ascertained
seven members of that first eleven
are still living according to Fred
Zehrbach, lineman on the team that
played Grove to a scoreless tie in
a bruising contest. Ray Triplett,
founder of the Triplett Electrical
Instrument Co., played quarterback
on that team.
Other members of the squad pre-
sumably still living are Earl Mohler,
Memo Triplehorn, who consistently
punted 40-50 yards with ball that
became soft with constant use, Frank
Mack, Harvey Frazier and William
Plattner Members of the team who
are deceased are Victor Green, DR..
Cliff Wetherill, Guy Hawk, Sam
Romey and Joseph Owens.
The coach was Lou Smith, who
hailed from Mansfield, O., and who
is now connected with the veterinary
department at Michigan State univer-
sity.
Foot Race Ends First Game
Zehrbach recalls the heated argu-
ment which ensued following the
game between the players as to which
side had the fastest runner on their
squad. Joe Owens was selected from
Button to race with Moon Mullins.
The crowd raised a so wager and
the race was on. Owens finished first
by some 10 yards.
The games were not actually organ
ized as they are today. Zehrbach
stated that the players were rounded
up at random and the uniforms were
makeshift affairs of odds and ends.
Mothers collected, sewed and stitched
most of the padding, for what it
was. In spite of this few injuries
were incurred.
Day OF The Flying Wedge
This was some what surprising in
view of the fact that the razzle-
dazzle of today's game was virtually
unknown. Plays were run from
standard formation and straight
power plays through the line pre-
dominated. The only shifts We're made
by the lineman, similar to what is
now known as overshifting or
unbalancing.
The greatest thrill the team had
in their beginnings was playing in
Lima. This was the only place where
dressing room facilities were avail
able and showers could be taken
after the game. Zehrbach recalled the
Lima fullback wearing belt, resem-
bling one a motocyclist wears, with
handles on the back. Teammates
grabbed the handles and formed a
flying wedge which made tackling
extremely difficult.
Early Opponents
Games were also played in the
first several years with Fostoria
one of the strongest in the state
during the era, McComb, Ada and
Mt. Blanchard.
At the latter school Zehrbach recalls
boarding the old Northern Ohio
train for a game at noon. 1t was
miserably cold during that week but
just before the game the sun came
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1956-05-24

out bright and warm. The field was
a quagmire. The team dressed in a
horse stable near the field. Bluffton
ran Mt. Blanchard ragged on the
corn stubble field but could not
score. After the game fans threw
everything but the kitchen sink at
the locals and called them imprint
able names.

the role Of the United States and
the quality of Mr.. Eisenhower's
administration.
Not long age the standard
mental picture was of a well in
tentioned but not very bright
bull in china shop whose inpul-
siveness and inexperience had
ito be restrained by wiser and
cooler heads. Secretary of State
Dulles unfortunate tendency to
make phrases about massive re-
taliation and the brink of war
contributed to European notions
about American clumsiness and
immaturity in foreign affairs.
Picture Is Changed
This image, it is safe to say.
us now decisively banished.
Britons Of all persuasions have
found little to criticise in Ameri-
can reaction to the crisis which
their own leaders have brought
about.
There is. in fact, less criticism
than in the United States itself.
although disappointment with
American Middle Eastern policy
at the time of Suez Canal seizure
was undoubtedly partly respon-
Isible for the decision Of the Britt
IiSh and French to go it alone
this time. these resentments
seem to have been wiped out
lin the violence of the reaction.
The spirit of rebellion which led
Ito the outburst has quickly
burned itself out. And the very
fact that lo-American unity
has been greatly jeopardized has
given many people here a new
appreciation of It's Importance.
In fairness, this is not simply
ia question of hoping that the
United States will step in and
bail them out of a bad spot. It
is also an admission that they
have seriously misjudged the
temper of the American people
and the quality of the American
Government.
Exaggerate Political Role
Among other things, the pa
Iralysis' Of the United States at
election time was greatly over
emphasized. Along with most
Europeans, the British have been
inclined to exaggerate the role
which domestic politics plays in
shaping American policy. In this
case, along with the French and
Israeli governments, they were
convinced that the administra-
ton would take no strong stand
at the risk of losing votes. The
lfiimness of American reaction
came as a surprise and has had
a SOLDERING effect on the British
mood.
In. one sense, however, the
British acted with greater wis
dom than they knew. AS things
are turning out. the decision to
act without consulting or even
informing the United States has
had forseen advantages.

Cunudu Will Send
Battalion to Egypt

CALGARY. Alta. Nov. 8 CR.-
Canada has aIerted the Dat in
fantrymen of the LIST Battalion,
Queens Own Rifles. for service
with the United Nations police
force in Egypt.
The battalion's commander,
1t. Col. Clifford p. Mcpherson,
said "a tremendous cheer went
up" when he broke the news to
his men on the parade ground
|at Currie Barracks here.
ReinforcementS from the regi-
ment's I'd battalion will bring
the Egypt-bound group to about
4 200 men. It's commander esti-
mated that 4 or per cent of the
present personnel served with
the U. N. command in Korea.
Col. Mcpherson was wounded in
Italy in World War II and later
served in Germany.
The battalion will concentrate
in Halifax. A navy spokesman
said the majority of the men
would be ferried to the Middle
East on the Canadian aircraft
carrier Magnificent.

lstrip but implied that Israeli
troops would not leave that ter
ritory, considered historically BY
Israel as hers but occupied by
Egypt since the Palestine war.
Mr.. Ben-Gurion said Israel set
three main goals in the Sinai
invasion: THE destruction of
the forces which lay in wait to
destroy us. the liberation of the
territory Of the homeland which
had been occupied by the invader
and the safeguarding of free ma
Ivigation in the Gulf Of Aqaba
and the Suez Canal"
He added that only the first
and principle aim" has been ac-
complished but said Israel is
confident the other two aims
viii be fully achieved.
Israelis Administer GazO
In the GAIA strip the Israelis
have set up military govern
ment, taking over the admins
tration Of civil life and substi-
tuting Israeli currency for Egyp-
tian.
There also was speculation
that Israel might try to hold
on to the islands of Tran and
Senafir in the Gulf of Aqaba,
also taken last week. The is
lands have been used in recent
years as artillery bases from
which Egypt has prevented Is
raeli shipping from moving be-
tween the Red Sea and the Is
raeli port of Elath, at The head
of the gulf.
ISraeps message to Mr.. HAM
marskjold repeated the urgent
request" that the U. N. call on
Egypt to renounce its state of
war with Israel, TO abandon its
policy of boycott and blockade,
to cease the sending into Israel
OF murder gangs" and to enter
into direct peace negotiations.
Port Said Is Quiet
In addition to policing the
IceaSe-fire and troop withdrawal.
the u N. force is empowered by
the Assembly to see that Egypt
and Israeli "desist from raids
across the Palestine armistice
