conference a little tighter last
Friday night as they defeated

Delphos Jefferson also stayed
unbeaten as they clipped Bea-

Delphos Jefferson took advan-

manpower as they rolled along

pionship trail 53-37 last Friday
night.
Bob Welch and Jim Lewis
missed their second straight key
NWC contest for the Beavers,
who are now welded in the base
ment after a promising start.
The Beavers stayed right with
the high powered Wildcats dur
ing the first period and part of
the second before their lack of
strength on the boards began to
tell. Delphos led only 1911 at the
start of the first quarter, but
they stretched this margin to 10
points at the start of the second
half.
Still scrappy, the Beavers held
the Wildcats even during a slow
third period, then slowly faded
away during the last quarter.
Free throws kept Beaverdam in
respectable circumstances as
they hit Is to nine for Jefferson.
The Wildcats outgunned Beaver

Late Game Blast
Drops Merchants

A 46 point second half by Mac
and AIS swept the Bluffton Mer-
chants towards the bottom of the
Major league last Thursday night
as the Miller City five rolled to
a 68-41 victory.
Leading only 22-16 at halftime,
they went whistling along to out
score the Merchants 25-9 in the
third quarter and wrap up their
victory.
Absence of high scoring Wade
Lehman hampered the Mer-
chants, who lost their second
game of the year, both in the
Major league.
Deacon Schmidt led the Mer-
chants with II points and Don
Oates scored nine, Ken Venne-
kotter and Ken Auhlman each
scored 16 to lead Mac and AIS.

Buck Schiffke came sizzling off
