Those Teenage
Gangsters

BY William Henry Huff for AMP
Why don't they try to get along?
Why don't they learn to give and
take?
Why don't they know that every
word
Has double trouble In it's wake?
Why don't they firl their lives
with love?
Why don't they see how much h
pays
To lift their thoughts and acts
Those low and mean and sodden
ways?
Why should they wreck their
tender lives
BY doing ugly things and meant
Why do they hang around In Dives
Where those who're wise are
never seen?

Judge Ketcham has begun to
set aside a special day for traf-
f1c cases.
This move will separate
juvenile traffic cases from other
types of delinquency" thus
avoiding "a delinquency LABEL

not normally regarded as crimi-
nal acts, the judge said.
The special trafhc session will
enable him to concentrate on
related cases which are settled
more quickly than other delin-
quency cases. Judge Ketcham
said.
Judge Ketcham also an
nounced that the backlog OF
children at the receiving home
has been cut down by new
juvenile court procedures.
Cut 70 So Cases
A backlog of so children await
ing Juvenile Court action piled
up three weeks ago at the Receiv-
ing Home. but now only So chill
dren are there on delinquency
charges. the judge said.
Judge Ketcham said hereafter
juveniles sent to the home will
be brought to court within FIVE
days after their arrest and will
be asked to admit or deny the
charge against them. If they
deny the charge. they will get q
speedy trial but If they admit
the charge. there is "less imme-
date" need for further court
action. Judge Ketcham said.
Previously. social workers made
studies before juveniles appeared
in court, but under the new pro-
ceedure. the judge said, social
workers will make their studies
after the juveniles make their
first court appearance to answer
the charges against them.
We've reduced the population

ably by giving priority to those

the judge said. adding that pri-
critics will speed trial for chill
dren denying complaints. in

Ron kalb PAGES Beavers In 82-74
Victory Over Ashland College Saturday

Led by little Ron Kalb's blistering
81 points, Bluffton college put on the
pressure to overcome Ashland 1914
at that place last Saturday.
The game was decided at the foul
line as the Beavers sank "a free ones
compared to 16 for the host Eagles.
Both teams hit 90 times from the
field but the Beavers used the
Eagles tougher play to advantage
as they sewed up the game on gifts.
Three Ashland regulars were lost on
fouls during the late going.
Kalb kicked the Beavers off to a
good start as he hit IA points in the
first ten minutes play. Although the
Eagle defense was frightened around
the deadeye he kept right on going
in piling up the highest point total
registered by a Beaver this year.
Able Mast helped considerably in
the second half when he contributed
II of his Is points.
The victory frightened the Beaver
hold on fifth place in the Mid-Ohio
league, ahead of Ashland and Cedar
vile, both of whom are winless in
league competition. The Beavers
still have tough pull before gaining
on any of the teams Immediately
ahead of them. They trail Findlay
and Wilmington, both of whom licked
the Beavers decisively.
Bluffton held a half-time lead of
43-37 and held this spread over most
of the last half, gradually pulling
away at the end.

Town Team Defeats
SpringbrOOk, 5O-4O

Bluffton Town Team used an inn
proved brand of ball to better their
Major League record with a 5040
victory over Springbrook Golf Club
last Thursday.
Trailing 31-28 at halftime the locals
really put the squeeze on Spring
brook, holding them to only nine
points in the last half. They were
helped considerably by big Joe Col
lingwood. former Bluffton college
athlete, who stopped Springbrook
sharpshooter Dick Prince cold when
assigned to guard him in the second
half. Prince had led the Springbrook
team to its early lead by scoring IA
points in the first half.
Guards Jim Berry and Keith Kirt-
land again led local scoring, besides
providing their usual good back-court
performance.

hard to pay back years of insults at

over the Bulldogs with a convincing
67-51 triumph last Friday night.

points in the first period Pandora
made their lead good. The second
and third quarters were. played about
evenly but in the fourth period the

Pirate WBL Title Hopes Shattered
By Double Loss To KentOn And Wapak

Probably let down from the Friday
licking the Pirates displayed their
worst shooting of the year the next
night when they fell before
mediocre Wapakoneta club, 6249.
Their % percent from the floor
wasn't helped by the Wapakoneta
court, the smallest and poorest floor
the Pirates will be forced to play on
this year. When they did find the
basket it didn't do too much good
because likely as not the bucket was
so loose it would jolt the ball right
back out
Fouls hurt the Pirates more ways
than one in the Saturday encounter.
They hit on miserable 13 of %
free throws, missing the first end
of five consecutive one-and-ones mid
way in the first half. Had they been
able to connect on some of these they
would have built up good lead
which might have changed things
entirely.
In the third quarter fouls got them
into trouble again, this time in an
other way. Substitute Jack Knoch.
brought into the game by an ankle
injury to one of the Redskin starters
proceeded to hit six consecutive free
ones on his way to a back breaking
IL points.
Ron Geiser, once again in and out
of the lineup, led Bluffton with 13
points. He was followed by Dan
Gleason, who scored all of his IL in
the first half and Ramon Lewis.
Reserves Lose Two Games
Pirate reserves also suffered a
bitter weekend, dropping the Kenton
game 45-39 and the Wapakoneta en-
counter 42-33.
Falling behind early in the second
quarter Bluffton came battling back
late in the final period but couldn't
quite get within reach of Kenton
Ralph Reichenbach with II and
Bruce Bechtel with 10 led Bluffton's
scoring column.
Inability to hit free throws cost
Bluffton reserves the Wapakoneta
game as they connected OH just 8

Smucker, who entered the game in
the second period, led Bluffton with
10 points, Bechtel counting nine.

Going out of the WBL as cham
pions is a near impossibility for the
Bluffton Pirates after a disastrous
weekend which saw them drop
league games to Kenton and Wapak-
oneta on successive evenings.
Undefeated Kenton leads the league
followed by Bellefontaine but the
latter two teams haven't played their
toughest games as yet. If the Pirates
right themselves they will have an
excellent chance to finish second. but
the championship appears out of
reach unless Kenton stages a COM
plete collapse.
Too Much Jim Sewers
Fridays game at Kenton was just
case of too much Jim Sewers as the
CT Wildcat star poured in Al points
in the 82-52 rout of the Pirates.
The two teams started slowly, with
the lead see-sawing back and forth
for the first quarter and a half. Mid
way in the second period Bluffton
seized 20-17 advantage before the
Wildcats took a lasting lead with four
consecutive buckets, two of them tip
ms by the towering Sewers.
Bluffton pulled up to a $500 deficit
early in the third quarter before
Sewers really started rolling them in.
He scored 16 points in the last period
before going to the bench with about
two minutes remaining. When he
wasn't scoring he pulled down re-
bounds to start murderouS fast
break which netted 81 points in the
final eight minutes.
Foul trouble which brought GA Ron
Geiser to the bench early in the first
period also hurt Bluffton for this
left Don Alspach more or less alone
under the boards for about half the
game. Steady Marv Diller with 13,
and GeiSer and sophomore Ramon
Lewis, who replaced injured veteran
Joe Urich, with 10 apiece led the
Bluffton scoring.

AS late as 1920 two Indians were
murdered on Fulton's creek. A band
had come down there to hunt as
was customary with them every fall
and Henry Swartz ordered them off
his farm. The Indians replied mo,
the land belongs to the white man
the game to the Indian" Then the
Indians insisted that they were
friends and ought not to be dis
turbed.
A few days later two Of them
were missing and the entire country
was searched without finding them.
But human bones were found where
there had been a fire and Swartz
was charged with killing and burn
ing them. The Indians threatened
vengeance on him and for several
years he was constantly on his
guard to prevent being waylaid.
The matter never was legally in
vestlgated but the neighborhood
believed that Swartz, probably helped
by Ned Williams, murdered the In
dians and disposed of their bodies in
the way suspected by the Indians.
At one time there was talk of driv-
ing the pair out of the neighborhood
but this never was done. Swartz
and Williams were considered "bad
men" and never prospered after
wards.
The Mingoes had a small village
half a mile above town on Horse
shoe Bottoms where they raised
corn. The Mingoes were bad Indians
but caused the settlement little
trouble. Such was Rev. Hughes field
of Christian endeavor.
