Pirates Meet Conner
In First OF NWC
Showdown Games

The stakes are getting higher each
game for the Bluffton Pirates, who
will play one of their three toughest
league games of the season next Tues
day evening against the rugged Com
er Wildcats.
Conner, Ada and Harrod are cur
rently tied for second place in the
Northwest conference, just behind the
unbeaten Pirates. After meeting Com
er Tuesday the Pirates will face an
other do or die situation on next Fri
day evening when they play host to
the potent Ada Bulldogs.
The Conner game will be the first
home game the Pirates have played
since they met Elida on December 10.
Conner has 2-1 record in league
play and is rated as one of the three
stumbling blocks in the Pirates road
to championship in their first North
west conference season.
The Conner scoring punch is con-
'cnterated in Dave Logan, Tom Fry
singer and Denny Vandemark, any
one of whom is capable of breaking
loose with the big night which can
mean trouble for their opponents.
Logan is travelling at nearly a 20
point per game clip.
The pressure will be directly on
the Pirates ,one of the two unbeaten
teams remaining in the area. With
half the season gone by Bluffton
finds themselves as the prime target
of every team they play, with each
squad hoping to be the one to knock
them off.
The Pirates will be entering the
showdown stages of the league race
in fine physical shape. For the last
three years they have taken fine rec
ords into January but illness and in
jury to key players have cut them
back during this month.

ATLANTA. Sept. II (AP).-A
menacing microbe that has
whipped all the miracle drugs

of scrub brushes and other old

Germ fighters and hospital

ends today.
The germ, which has plagued

Of his edict, Judge Bryan gave
an unexpected breathing spell
to the county which has been
anticipating an immediate in
tegration order which would
close the affected school under
virginia's massive resistance
laws.
Altogether 80 Negro students
had applied to enter seven
white schools in the county.
AL 80 had been rejected by
the State Pupil Placement
Board and the county school
board, which acted in case the
court held it was the school
boards responsibility to do so.
The students went to court,
challenging the reflections. To-
days ruling overturns only four
out of the 80 reflections, and in
effect upholds the assignment
procedure the local school
board used to pass on the ap-
plicationS.
Approves rs Reflections
Judge Bryan, of United States
District Court in Alexandria, &C
cepted the reasons given for
rejecting rs of the Negro ap-
plicants.
None of the four students
named in today's decisions
were among the Negroes in
volyed in an indignation order
issued last year, although five
had reapplied this year.
Judge Bryan said last years
applicants do not have "a
vested position for this session.
Admissions must be judged on
current conditions, the rule to
be applied to all students"
In today'S opinion he did not
specifically rule on validity Of
the States amended Pupil
Placement Act which was an
issue in the case.
In the present proceeding,
he said, the question of
the placement act is moot.

observed, we're considered by
