Bluffton never was even again until
George Bailey sank two long set shots
in the late minutes to tie the score
at 81. The two clubs then traded
baskets before the fatal foul was
called.
Kalb led the Beaver assault with
Is, but he received big support from
Roger Bixel with IA and Able Mast
with II.
Beaver JVs lost another heart
breaker in the opener as Northern
copped a 74-72 verdict in overtime.
Emil Kreider and former Bluffton
Pirate Ron Lora led the baby Beavers
with 20 and Is respectively.
The loss gives the Beavers a "a
Mid-Ohio league mark, while second
place Northern now sports a Al re-
cord. The Polar Bears only loss came
in a tight 1888 game at Defiance last
Saturday when they forced the un-
beaten league champions to scramble
for their lives.
Defiance, 1853 conquerors of the
Beavers in the seasons opener will
furnish the opposition on the Found
er's Hall court this Saturday night.
Although Defiance is the only unbeat-
en- college team in the state the Bea-
vers have been playing aggressive
basketball the last two weeks and
have come a long way since the
early season lacing.

crack at the Polar Bear machine

Beavers.

when little Ron Kalb hit a driving
one-hander from the left side of the
foul circle.
On the inbounds play Northern
guard Jim Miller stepped over the
out of bounds line and Bluffton took
the ball on this turnover. At this point
one of the referees, thinking Bluff
ton player had called tnme-out, stop
ped the clock. Discovering this was
t he sixth Beaver time-out, on e
above the limit, he awarded Northern
a technical foul.
All Bluffton players claimed they
had not called for time. The referee
could not identify the player who
called time, saying he stopped the
clock when he heard a voice behind
him asking for time out.
This set the stage for the cool
Ricketts,, who led the Polar Bear

With So percent of the Terri
torial appropriation now going
education, it does not seem rea-
sonable to allot a larger percen-
tage of Territorial income for
school purposes. Nor is tax in
crease justified, at a time when
Alaskans are already over-taxed.
The Territorial Board of Edu-
cation and local school districts
are asking for more money, main
ly on grounds Of emergency due
to increased enrolment. Yet at
the same time, school money is
being used for branching out into
new types of service. For exam
pie, it was announced in Anch-
orage last week that local schools
will provide weekend recreation
as well as evening facilities for
children.
These and other such services
are no doubt valuable to the COM
munities involved, but at a time
when teachers are underpaid, and
all taxpayers claim to be taxed
to the limit, should the schools
take on new functions at general
public expense?
Few people realize the total
percentage of Territorial tax in
come that is spent for schools, in

In view of cold hard economic

gest = possible way out OF our
school dilemma. propose that we
start first with the total amount
the Territory can afford to pay
for schools, to determine what
stadard can be provided for
everyone (rural and Incorporated
areas alike), within that budget,
including reasonable pay for tea

Then. any community desiring
more expensive schools and ser
