BIu6tOn and Ada
Rene1U Bitter Feud

The Bluffton Pirates get their
chance to stop the Ada Bulldogs
stampede towards the Northwest
conference championship at Ada
Friday night.
1t actually hasn't been much of
stampede even though Ada is
unbeaten in five conference
games. If anything the Bulldog
season has been more of a hop
skip-and-jump affair. Their bgi-
est victory margin in the NWC
has been seven points Tower Com
er) and their smallest two points
(Beaverdam and Lafayette).
They edged Delphos Jefferson by
four and had their full share of
troubles before whipping Bath
41-35.
With their top notch men from
last year Bob Runser, Rog
Cooley, ct al - gone, the Bull
dogs had not been nominated as
championship possibilities.
Coach Chuck Srausbaugh has
taken two lettermen, Ed Hack
worth and Ronnie Rayl, and
nodded a hard running team
which has unpleasantly surprised
the entire conference.
Comeback Kids
Ada is small and they rely on
speed, shooting and an unbeliev-
able conifd en- e. Seeming
ly whipped by Beaverdam at the
start of the fourth quarter last
Friday they outshot the Beavers
21-9 in the last period for another
two point victory.
Archie Rodgers, who started
the season with a 80 point burst
against Shawnee, is their biggest
man, but his scoring has faded
away since the opener.

Pirates Defeat Bath 1851 in Foul Stained
Battle, To Continue Climb In Conference

Dave Little took his turn in
the second quarter, scoring eight
points. He played an aggressive
game, stealing the ball several
times and squeezing the Wildcat
offense into some tight pockets.
He was rewarded for his pains
with Ia points and four fouls.
Bluffton had a $500 halftime
lead. Bath was limited to five
field goals in the first half.
Still Rolling
The Pirates built a 1926 lead
with 3:41 left to play in the third
period before the whistles started
blowing. The Wildcats jammed
in nine straight points before
Lewis adjusted his sights and
scored three buckets in the last
minute of the period.
Starting the quarter with some
fancy outside bombardment,
Lewis moved in around the key
to complete the damage in the
last part of the period. He scored
il points in the third period, 26
for the night.
And The Winds Blow
The fourth period was a SYM
phony of whistles, with II fouls
called on Bluffton, five on the
Wildcats. Bath made eight of IL
free ones in the last period,
Bluffton one of six.
Although the Pirate lead was
never less than IL points during
the last half the highly excited
fans kept the gymnasium in a
curious uproar for the last is
minutes of the game, making an
unusual amount of noise for a
game which never quite became
close.
Lewis played one of his best
games, dominating the defensive
rebounding and stealing the ball
several times. Buck Schiffke
might have had a good night,
but he wasn't in the game long
enough to find out. He played
less than 10 minutes, but scored
seven points.

BE Meets Cedarville, Ashland
In Home Games During Week

The Bluffton Beavers have two
chances to wriggle upward in the
Mid-Ohio race next week as they
entertain Cedarville Friday night
and Ashland Tuesday night.
Each game will be a sort of
double bonus for Bluffton, who
must win both to keep their
chances of a 500 league mark
for the year.
1. Cedarville is the weakest
and Ashland one of the weak
er teams in the league.
2. Both games will be play
ed at Founders hall, where
the Beavers are known as
death in canvas shoes.
Cedarville has won only twice
in 10 games and has an unhappy
0-5 Mid-Ohio record. Last year,
and regularly before that, they
finished at the bottom of the
MOL.
Always dangerous on their tiny
home floor, the Baptists have one
siege gun who will be carried tc
Bluffton. That is Pete Reese, g
junior who has already been &
two-time choice tor the all-league
squad.

was seventh among small college
scorers in the nation, with ar

and Rudy Steiner on the boards

careful to use it at both ends of

Fast Breaks?
The Bluffton defensive re-
bounding has been improving but
they still have occasional trou-
bic on their own boards. This
could lead to trouble because the
Bulldogs have sometimes used an
effective fast break, which car

Bluffton Clicks Regularly
In Hot First Half, But
Fouls Hurt Badly Later

Someone must have limited to
the referes : for last Friday
nights Bluffton-Bath game that
they were to be paid in proper
ton to the number of fouls they
called.
With this in mind they stepped
right out and padded their ex-
pense account by calling ~
fouls, 26 in the second half.
This might have been all right,
said Bluffton fans, except they
called too many on Bluffton, not
enough on Bath. (Actual figures,
20 on the Pirates, 13 on Bath.
Bath fans had no quarrel with
this proportion, but they were
grievously disappointed by their
teams performance when they
did step up to the line. (They
made Is, but missed 19, includ.
ing nine critical ones in the last
quarter when a few more Wild.
cat points would have panicked
the Pirates).
Also Unhappy

A third disappointed group
were the two referees, who dis
covered after the game that they
had been mis-led. They were
paid a flat fee, with nothing said
about a bonus for calling fouls.
At odd moments throughout
the game the Pirates tried their
hand at shooting field goals,
which they did with conspicuous
success. (They tried 20 times,
made 80. Bath tried 65, made
only 49,.
Bluffton, by the way, won
the game 1851. 1t was their
fourth straight win, second in
the Northwest conference.
In the first half the Pirates
played their best basketball since
the Harrod game last year. In
the second half they got carried
away by the spirit of speed. They
scored quickly, fouled quickly
and watched their lead melt
quickly.

Ada won another game by a

Friday night, defeating Beaver

the Northwest conference.
1t was the second league game
the Bulldogs have won by two
points in the last seconds of play.
Jim Bucher was the hero Fri
day, hitting the winning points
with a jump shot.
Ada trailed 35-25 at the start
of the last period, but erupted
for II points to ruin the Beav-
ers.

He has slumped out of the top

Ashland has already beaten
Bluffton once this year, a source
of grief and disgust to Ken Mast,
who had counted on starting on
the right foot in December.
The Eagles, who shot a hot 81

ers, suffered a bad break when
first string guard Bob Leedy
broke his collar bone during their
Christmas tournament.

points, one by six and one by
seven.
On Their Heels
Spencerville and Conner stayed
right on the Bulldogs heels last
Friday, sharing second place
with Al records. Spencerville had
little trouble with Lafayette dur
ing the second half, using a 21-9
third period as a springboard
away from a two point half time
lead.
Conner had more trouble, going
into overtime to subdue Elida
4745.
Delphos Jefferson moved into
solid first division spot, de-
feating Harrod $3.50 and Bluffton
continued to climb, defeating
Bath 1851.
Schedule
Bluffton plays at Ada Friday
night, with hopes of putting the
Bulldogs down with the rest of
the boys. Second place, and a
possible share of first, will be at
stake at Conner, as the Bobcats
entertain their second place part
ner, Spencerville.
Other games have Elda at
