Coal Room In County Courthouse Has
Been Converted To Tool Storaqe Room

With the change-over from
coal to gas in heating the Noble
county courthouse, several new
developments have resulted, and
strangely enough they point in
the direction for improving all
phases concerned with the gas
conversion.
The officials in the courthouse
state that more uniform heat
is quite evident and the rooms
throughout the building appear
much cleaner.
Along with this, another
noticeable change occurred in
the furnace room. What was
originally the coal room, now
there is a combined tool and
storage room, which Jerry Hupp,
the courthouse custodian, has
completely renovated.
A toof bench and storage bins
have been erected in the room
where the new gas meter is now
located.
All the equipment used in
maintaining the courthouse lawn
during the summer months has
been stored away for the winter
in the reconverted room. In
| order to maintain some control
over the tools, Hupp has also
secured a convenient spot for
these items.
Where originally was nothing
but coal dust and filth, clean,
tidy rooms now appears. The
| walls were cleaned and the
| cement floor improved in a like
| manner.
Hupp, with the assistance of
SeWell Kirkbride and Fred Han
son, has also noted a similar
change in the room where the
| converted furnaces are located.
| All the lines and pipes pertain
ing to the furnace have been
painted, with the result that a
complete new look" reflects the
efforts of the persons responsible
for keeping the courthouse
orderly and clean.
| The Noble county commission
ers' decision to change over from
coal to gas certainly gave evid-
ence of wise, intelligent think
ing. Use of gas might appear a

The mere fact that a clean heat

with the added advantages by

End Heartbreak
Season For Be

Hearthbreak season continued for
the Bluffton college Beavers as they
lost their fourth and fifth tight ones
of the season over the weekend.
Knocked off Saturday night by
Goshen 1884 the Beavers came
bouncing back and nearly upset
tough Findlay before the Oilers
squeezed through to an 1882 victory
Monday night.
Although the two teams didn't quite
equal their 103-102 duel won by Cos
hen early this month they provided
plainly of fireworks in the Indiana
game. Ahead by one point at half
time and tied at 81 in the middle of
the second half Bluffton let their
opponents slip away to tight four
point win.
Unable to hit with any consistency
from the field the Beavers converted
AZ of 81 free throws to keep them
selves in the battle. Harry Garverick
alone hit 18 of % as his "a points
paced the Beavers. Stolzfus with "a
and Weldy with 81 led Goshen. Goshen
outscored the Beavers from the field
37-14 but Bluffton had three times as
many free throws 42-14.

Like all Norris Simpson coached
clubs, Hicksville can run and pass
better than practically all their op-
ponents. 1t was cool, clean ballhand-
ling under pressure which pulled a
last second victory over st. Gerard S
out of the fire.
If the Aces get by Fort Jennings
they should have little trouble with
Harrod, whose season record is only
$40.
The most watched man in the
tournament, Don Lease of Forest,
will be the major obstacle in the
path of the dead-eye Coldwater
Cavaliers.
The 6-1 Lease who is only junior
led all area scorers for the season
as he averaged over 80 points a
game. Several times he scared above
the 40 mark with his top of 49 being
rolled up against Mt. Victory.
His top weapon is a deadly jump
shot from anywhere near the key,
although he can also drive with the
best of them. One of the big helpers

Bath Township coasted past jit-
terry, ineffective Harrod five 51-44 to
win the Allen county championship
in their very first year of competition
last Saturday night.
Controlling both backboards effec-
lively with the superior height of Paul
Croissant and Joe Albertson the Bath
five rolled off 13 straight points early
in the second quarter to wrap things
up. Harrod also hit 13 straight points
but they came in the last four minutes
of the game after the Wildcats had
fallen behind by 70 points.
Albertson and aggressive Ron Rex
scored IA each to pace the Bath
assault. Only Dale Huffer and his IS
points were able to break into double
figures for the Harrod five.

can work his favorite scoring shot
around the key.
To combat the highscoring Lease
the Non-County champion Cavaliers
will bring probably the tallest of
any of the six clubst into the
tourney Another major weapon for
the Mercer County five is their dead
ly accuracy at the free throw line
as they used the charity toss to win
each of their, Non-County games.
Outscored from the field in every
conest they smothered their oppon-
ents under barrage of free throws.
Most prominent in local eyes is
lanky Tom >Bruggeman who hit 19
of % when the Cavaliers eliminated
Bluffton last week. If Forest is clever
enough to keep from fouling the Cold
water gang they still have three fine
outside shots in Mark Eilerman, Jack
Briner and Ivan Muhlenkamp.
If Coldwater wins the game, as
figures indicate, they shouldn't have
too much trouble with the Allen

day. Possessor of only $40 record

selves the best Of the lot in winning

as they had the tiny College street
gym in an uproar throughout the
game. Leading by one point in the
last minutes Bluffton lost it when
the Oilers converted a bad pass for
the precious basket which put them
ahead for keeps.
Down by II points midway in the
first half the Beavers bit back and
cut the Findlay margin to 41-40 at
halftime. They pulled ahead in the
second half but Findlay, led by the
cool Connie Walcutt and hard-driving
Fred Polinski, cinched their third
place position in the Mid-Ohio league.
