Beavers Meet
Huntington
AndNOrthern

Moving rapidly towards their
best season in years, the Bluffton
Beavers play two games in the
next three days before taking a
10 day break for final examina-
tons.
Tonight the Beavers travel to
Huntington, enjoying a fine
chance to score their first victory
over the Foresters in several
years.
Huntington has a CT season
record. The only common oppon-
ent they have with Bluffton is
Cedarville. Huntington defeated
the Baptists 94-83 then four
nights later Bluffton blasted
them 85-57.
Forward Dean Merryman is
leading their scorers, with an
average of 1874 per game. Guards
Lowell Stouder and Duane Kline
are averaging Is and 13.1 per
game. Merryman is averaging
better than SO percent in his
attempts from the field this sea-
son.
Despite their losing record
Huntington is outscoring their
opponents for the season. They
are averaging a big 81.9 per
game, but their defense suffers,
giving up a 77.2 per game aver
age to their opponents.
Saturday night the Beavers en-
tertain Ohio Northern, as the two
neighborhood clubs battle to stay
in the upper sections of the Mid
Ohio league.
The Polar Bears opened the
season with a fine squirt of four
straight victories but they have
sagged since then and now hold
a 54 record. "wednesday night S
game with Findlay is not in
cluded.)
Senior Merrill Castle has STEP
ped into the leading scorers spot
for the Polar Bears. Joe Miller,
Bob Click, Jim Seckman and Jim
Ricketts, make up the leading
veteran talent the Polar Bears
have. They have received a big
help from the rebounding of g.
Ron HoltreY.

Beavers Bump Wilmington,
Cedarville, Climb to Second

Bluffton college put a serious
dent in Wilmington's title hopes
last Wednesday with a 1859 win
at Founders hall, then went on
to add to their own record by
blasting Cedarville 1851 Friday
night.
1t was Wilmington's first defeat
in six league games but it was a
serious loss. 1t marked their
last league game with high
scoring Charlie Cox in the line
up. Cox's eligibility runs out at
the end of the semester and the
Quakers will make the stretch
run without their ace.
Cox or no Cox, it was Bluff.

Friday night they meet Ada in
the semi-finals. The other game
matches Milano with Sohio Pet
rochemical. Winners Friday
night will meet Sunday afternoon

BluftOn Faces
Columbus Grove
And Lafayette

The Bluffton Pirates face one
of their last chances to escape
the depths of the Northwest con-
ference Friday evening when
they entertain Lafayette.
Next Tuesday the Pirates trav-
el to Columbus Grove to get their
first peek at the Bulldogs new
gym and renew old acquaintance
es with their Putnam county
friends.
Bluffton now has a "a season
record in the league, while La
fayette has only a Is mark but
the Wolves have been an ex-
tremely deceptive team all sea-
son. They have met the league
leaders, Ada, twice and they still
stand exactly even. In the league
match Ada won 1886 but in a
non-league holiday game the
Wolves bumped off the Bulldogs
59-57.
On the other hand this is the
same team which can turn
around and lose to Elida 41-31
and play dead for Bath township.
Save for 6-3 Dick Fleming, La
fayette will be operating at a
height disadvantage. Like his
teammates, Fleming has been a
spotty performer. Against Ada he
scored 20 and 26 points, against
Bath a meager eight.
Heading the supporting cast
are Art Holman, Mike Hefner
and Jim Hefner, as well as three
midgets Sam Hefner, John
Mowen and Larry Schafer.
Columbus Grove has also been
a strange team all season, play
ing a good game and following
it up with a pair of poor ones.
Probably their brightest star is
sophomore Lynn Darbyshire, al
though Jim Meyer occasionally
helps the offense.
Bluffton, meanwhile, seeks
more rebounding strength and an
offense which will utilize the tai
ents of Ramon Lewis more than
just sometimes.
