Beavers Battle for High Finish
In Last Three Games OF Season

Fighting for a first division
spot in the Mid-Ohio league the
Bluffton Beavers close their sea-
son with three games during the
next week.
Two of the games, Defiance
and Ohio Northern, are league
games. The third is with Gosh
en-, their old Mennonite cousin.
The Beavers saw the chances
to shake up the league standings
go glimmering over the last week
end when they lost to Whining
ton and Findlay. Now they must
win at least one of their last
two league games to hold onto
their fourth place finish.
Defiance is in third place and
they have a solid grip on it.
Ohio Northern is fifth, waiting
eagerly for Bluffton to falter.
Two more losses would give DC
a ST league mark, the same
record that was good for fourth
place last year.
Both ONU and Defiance have
already beaten the Beavers once
this year. Northern won at
Founders hall and earned the
distinction of being the only MOL
team to defeat the Beavers on
their home court in more than
two years.
Saturday night Bluffton goes to
Ada, hoping to put that shoe on
the other foot, and at the same
time reverse their horrible road
record. Be has won only one road
game in the past two seasons,
that at the expense of miserable
Cedarville.
Tuesday night the Beavers en-
tertain Defiance, a makeup of
the game postponed from Feb

Lafayette SLaps BIS
From County Tourney

Lafayette blasted the faltering
Bluffton Pirates out of the Allen
county tournament 52-39 last Sat
urday night. gaining full revenge
for their disputed defeat in JAN
uary.
Splendid clutch basketball by
Enrol Plate and Dick Fleming
took all the laurels away from
Bluffton's Ramon Lewis, who had
been averaging 31.8 points per
game during the last two weeks
of the regular season.
Fleming did a wonderful job
of rebounding during the last
three periods and matched Lewis
point for point in the third period.
Plate came on to do the hon.
ors in the fourth quarter, out
scoring the entire Bluffton team
1911, as he broke the game wide
open with a series of soft jump
shots.
Bluffton had their chances in
the first period but they were
never bold enough to step up
and claim what could have been
an easy victory. They completely
dominated the rebounding and
set up their shots well but their
shooting was far off key.
Only sophomore Rudy Steiner,
who very matter-of-factly scored
the first eight Bluffton points,
seemed to shake the jitters. He
was cooled off early in the Sec
ond quarter and Bluffton suf-
fered until the third period when
Lewis had his lonely hot streak.
Lewis and Steiner picked prac-
tcally every stray ball off the
Lafayette boards during the first

period but things changed radi-
cally from that point on. Flem-
ing started to hold them down
at the Lafayette end and then
raced to the other end of the
court, where he was clearly SUI
perior. Bluffton got one lonely re-
bound off their own blackboard in
the second half.
For all of their inadequacy the
Pirates trailed only 20-18 at the
end of the first half.
Fleming and Plate opened the
second half by banging in a pair
of baskets before Lewis, limited
to four points in the first half,
began to connect with a series
of jump shots from the outside.
Lewis scored nine of the Pi-
rates ten points in that period,
but Fleming stayed right in the
battle by scoring eight. The diff
ference was that Fleming had
support from his teammates,
while Lewis support was limited
to a free throw by Steiner.
Plate hit three more baskets
at the start of the fourth period,
stretching the Wolves lead to 40
30, before Lewis and Chuck Ba-
Der scored for the Pirates. With
Lafayette's lead threatened Plate
went right back to work, scoring
six of their next eight points to
ice the game.
Plate had q and Fleming had
19 for the Wolves. Lewis led the
Pirates with Is, Steiner had nine,
Buck Schiffke six, Dave Little,
four, Larry Smucker three and
Baber two.

ged, fast breaking club edged
Bluffton by only four points early
in the season. With their home
floor advantage the Beavers may
be able to cut the jackets down
to size.
Goshen is sandwiched between
the two MOL teams, coming to
Founders hall for Monday night
game. They have been an up and
down club all season.
A close, high scoring game is
expected, but hardly one to
match the last Goshen appear
ance at Bluffton. Early in March
1857 the Beavers rolled up 1O2
points on Goshen, only TO lose
the game 103-102.

transferred to Able Mast. None of
the three, however, could match
the scoring touch of Polinski and
George Keller.
Polinski pushed in 25 and Kel-
ler added % to lead the scoring.
Findlay got more support from
their second liners. Larry Shaw
and Joe Hanauer each had II
and Bill Boney had 10.
Hedden had Is, Mast II and
Kalb 16 for Bluffton.
Findlay won the w game 74-56.
Jim Berry had Is, Carl Liechty
had 16 and Joe Urich IA for Be.

DelphOs Jefferson
Clubs Beayerdam
With Hot 1st Half

A hot wind from Delphos JEFF
ferson melted Beaverdam right
out of the Allen county tourna-
ment 74-53 last Saturday night.
The Wildcats, who had their
hands full in defeating Beaver
dam by one point during an over
time game in the regular season,
opened up with every available
gun as they hit better than 60
percent during the first half.
Dan Kunze and Vince Ebbe-
skotte, neither one a threat dur
ing the regular season, led the
blasting in the first half. Kunze
had IA and Ebbeskotte II in the
blistering first 16 minutes.
The Wildcats led 21-9 at the
end of the first period. Beaver
dam got better in the second
quarter, scoring 18 points, but
Delphos, alas, scored %. Jeffer-
son had q field goals in the first
half.
Neither club gave much atten-
ton to defense after the first
few minutes. For Beaverdam it
was futile, for Delphos it was un-
necessary,
Ebbeskotte and Kunze led the
scorers with 16 apiece and Dick
Thompson had 13. Bob Whiting
ton, usually their leading scorer,
had only seven but his contri-
buttons were hardly needed.

with so much temptation in
his way.
My husband says he's
making a very good living
and I should be satisfied
with that and stop pestering
him. I told him I'd be glad
to do with less and not have
to worry every time he walks
out of the house. He is too
much like my father in many
ways.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
1t is natural for Elaine to
worry about such matters.
Her father desertion alone
would be enough to make her
uneasy, but her mothers dire
warnings make things much
worse.
Unfortunately, probing and
questioning a man on such
matters tends to create diff
f1culties rather than evade
them.
There are temptations
everywhere for both men and
women who are looking for
just that. Elaine has no
guarantee than some very
aggressive woman won't make
a play for her husband at
another job where there are
fewer women in less inti-
mate backgrounds.

BY PHIL YEAGER and
JOHN STARK

In this age of jet aircraft
and space projectiles, we
hear a lot about conflict be-
tween the air rights of land
owners and those who use
air space for travel or COM
munication.
BY contrast, underground
rights are fairly settled. It
took a few decades of litiga-
ton over oil well drilling
rights to establish the pres
ent state of balance. And
now the threat of nuclear
warfare has injected a new
factor-the use of vast under
ground protected areas for
facilities, material or per-
sonnel.
One such area is being
constructed on Whitehorse
Mountain, near the West
Point Military Academy.
Planned as one of nine prof.
ectS forming part of a ma
tional warning system to
detect the approach of hos
tile aircraft or missiles, the
installation will be a multi
level electronic control CEN
ter at least TOO feet below the
surface.
The new facility will be
dug under the mountain top
reservoir that supplies the
towns of Cornwall and Corn
wall-on-the- Hudson - and
the residents have been bat
ting the Army for several
months. They fear that the
blasting and digging might
wreck their reservoir and
they feel that the Army has
not given them sufficient as
surance that this won't hap
pen. Last month, the White
House intervened and sided

ter should insist that he give
up this work
Elaine r. III It's all very
we'll to talk about insisting,
but my husband is extreme
ly stubborn. He gets his own
way in everything.
When I question him about
the women he meets he just
laughs at me. He says he
loves me and he isn't that
kind of a guy. But we have
been married only four
years. I don't know how

handy to his job. While
eating there one day he
became provoked with the
owner because he lets his dog
have the run of the place.
Among other things, the
dog sleeps on the tables. My
husband likes dogs, but not
where he eats.
The tavern owner told my
husband that his dog was
cleaner than some of his
customers. MY husband
hasn't been back there since.
I now fix him a lunch bucket.
I think the tavern keeper
should be reported for keep
