quarter and later through the

Sutherland, a low scorer in
most of the Wildcats games,
scored 20 and Binkley, a steady
but usually not a spectacular
scorer also had 20. Carman,
Sutherland and Binkley scored 76
points among them, more than
enough to defeat Bluffton.
The Pirates had their problems
in rebounding but their real dis
tress, obviously, was their de-

Beavers Brace for Defiance

Joe Wilson has been their high
scorer and the rugged Charley
Koch has been a top notch re-
bounder for the majority of their
games.
Gene Geren has also been bios
soming as scorer and the revi-
val of Szabo may, make them
more potent than they were early
in the season. Their season rec
ord is 1873 and their league mark
is AZ.
Bluffton, on the other hand, is
clearly superior to the team
which made only 27 per cent of
their shots in the December
match. Their shooting has i'm
proved, their defense is tighter
and they have developed an Of
fense based on ball handling skill
which offsets their lack of height.
Paul Fike, one of Bluffton'S
first-line substitutes, has not re-
enrolled for the second semester
and will probably be lost to the
team.

HarrOd Whips Pirates 92-68
10 End Buttons Hot Spell

Harrod smashed the Bluffton
Pirates S2-6S last Friday night in
the Wildcats tiny gym, with
their star Chuck Carman earn
ing full revenge for last years
humiliation by Bluffton.
Carman scored So points, al
most completely wrapping up the
Northwest conference scoring
championship. Last year Bluff
ton cinched the league crown
when they whipped Harrod, with
the key factor a brilliant defense
which held Carman to nine
points.
Bluffton was outscored in ev-
cry period, but a hot second
quarter when the Wildcats poured
in 26 points really established the
tune.
OF course, they scored "a more
in the next period and IS in the
last quarter but it was the sec.

The Bluffton Beavers play at
Albion (Michigan) tonight but
they will have one eye trained
on their game with Defiance next
Tuesday evening.
Defiance comes to Founders
hall, where the Beavers have lost
only one league game in nearly
two seasons. Bluffton coach Ken
Mast said he hopes the Beavers
can beat each Mid-Ohio team at
least once this year and then
pointed out that Defiance is one
of two teams still on the select
list.
The Yellowjackets, meanwhile,
know they must defeat the Bea-
vers or fall out of contention for
the league title. They have al
ready lost two games and anoth-
er league defeat would be dis
aStrous.
They defeated the Beavers g.
Ga in Defiance early in the sea-
son. Since that time they have
had the beginnings of a come

total, but still in the deep shade
of Carman's effort. Lewis stands
second among the leagues scor-
erS and only a superhuman ef-
fort against Conner Friday night
can boost him past the Wildcats
bespectacled shooter.
Buck Schiffke continued to play
a decent game, popping in IA
points and Chuck Baber, much
more relaxed after a long time
on the bench, added 10. Dave Lit
tie had nine and Rudy Steiner
had eight.
The Pirate reserves followed a
well established pattern by losing
the opener 42-40.
Don Deerhake led the Blufftor
scorers with IL points. Ror
Michel had eight, Chuck Mis-
wander and Jan Enmert six

ship.
Ada leads by one game as the
season reaches its final round
tomorrow. If Elida defeats Har-
rod and Spencerville clips Ada
then Elida and Ada share the
championship. An Elida loss or
an Ada victory will give the
Hardin county Bulldogs an undis-
puted championship.

tenant for second place, suffered
surprising eviction, with the
notice delivered by a team which

and gradually pulled away from
the Bearcats, who are sagging

In Scrap To Reach 500 by the Finish

The Bluffton Pirates chances
to upset predictions and finish
their season with a winning rec
ord hinge on their performance
against Conner and Cory-Rawson
this week end. Both games will
be played at Bluffton.
If they win both they will make
their mark. A winning season

their first five games.
Bluffton faces both games with

Union Denies Plan
To Ruise Price of
Huircuts to $l.75

Rumors that Washington
area BARRIERS have moved to
raise the price Of haircuts to
$1.75 are unfounded, a union
spokesman said today.
Charles j. Bovello, secretary
treasurer and business agent of
the Journeymen BARRIERS and
Proprietors International
Union. Local 239, said there is
no move to raise the price now
or in the near future.
Several barbershops in the
Chevy Chase e-Bethesda section
are now charging SITS for
Ihaircuts. For several years a
trim in the better hotels has
cost the same amount. Most
open shops now cut hair for
$3.50. ..
However, Mr.. Bovello said his
union sets no fiat price on hair
cuts. The amount is determined
by the economic conditions pre-
vailing in the neighborhood of
the shop.
The price Of a haircut is set
by the proprietor of the shop.
He may charge whatever he
thinks the traffic will bear. The
union dictates the percentage
the journeyman barber shall
retain, regardless of the cost
Of the haircut or other service
1t has been set at IS per cent
for the barber and 35 per cent
for the shop owner. The union
represents SO per cent of white
shops in this area.
Mr.. Bovello said he has nc
records on the number Of shops
in this area now charging SITS
and explained that most of
those who have upped their
prices have been forced to do
so because their shops are in
high-rent districts and high
bracket income areas where the
owner feels the customer can
afford the increase.
