night at 7:30 while Newport
(20-5) will go against Hopewell
(19-5) in a game set for Thurs

Coach John Paulette's Beavers
were way offstride in the shoot
ing department against Newport,
missing several easy lay-ups in
the opening quarter, when they
trailed 1911.
They began to find the range
in the second period, which they
dominated 1915, taking over the
lead for the first time by a score
of 1915 with Sill showing on
the scoreboard clock. At inter-
mission, Batesville led 26-19 and
loyal fans, many from this area,
thought the rangy Beavers were
on their way to another victory.
But big John Pritchett and
Neil Herlan had a different idea
for the Washington county
champs. They fired in a great
percentage of Viewpoints l8 points
in the third quarter while Bates

Lewis Gidden For Top
Scoring Honors In NCL

Dave Wyscarver of Batesvile was top scorer in the Noble
County League this season with 25 points in 10 games for an

vile was getting only six to trail
1882 at the three-quarter mark.
A full court press thrown up
by the Trojans to start the second
half completely ratified the Beav-
ers, and as a result three minutes
rolled by in the quarter before
Batesville scored a point. This
came on a free throw, followed
by another some time later, then
a pair of buckets by Dave Wys-
carver concluded Batesville's
point-production in the third
period.
The Trojans, with Pritchett
dumping in 20 points and Herlan
18, moved ahead in the fourth
frame to a l4-point victory by
outscoring the Noble Countians
22-13. Vern Rouse added 10
points to aid the Newport cause
which consisted of rs fielders and
seven foul shots.
For B~atesville, Dave Wyscarver
led the scoring with II points for
a 23-game season total of $50 and
an average of 24.4 per game. Tom

The Beavers closed out a fine
season under Coach Paulette with
a record of 20-3, the Noble county
league title, and the Noble
county tournament crown. They
defeated Woodsfield last week
1857 to advance to the bracket
final against Newport.
Last year, under Coach Dave
Heady, Batesville ended with a
1916 record, the County and
League titles, and were beaten
by Fort Frye in the finals 1886
after topping Woodsfield GAP.
In 1858, Coach Heady's Beavers
were league champs but bowed
out of tournament play in the
county joust with a 1875 record.

FHA Acts
To Draw
Mortgages

The Federal Housing .Ad-
ministration this week raised
the maximum size Of the
mortgage on which a lender
is authorized to put an extra
one-half per cent service
charge.
The change, applying only
to Section 203 mortgages
which cover one to four
family dwellings, raised the
maximum size of the mort
gage on which the one-half
per cent applies to $1,000.
Previously it could be applied
only on mortgages Of $4,000
or less.
FILA Commissioner Julian
H. Zimmerman said In an
nouncing the change:
I'VE take this action to
further encourage produc-
ton Of homes for purchase
by persons with lower in
comes"
Lenders have been reluc-
tant to enter the 203 pro-
gram at the $4,000 to $4,000
level with the benefit of an
additional service charge,
the agency noted.
Larger MORTGAGES are
more attractive to the lend
ers because the servicing cost
to him is about the same on
a small one while the per-
centage he gets to cover it is
larger.

THE ROBBINS EAGLE
Saturday, November 5, 1860

Our text tells us of a sorely
father who comes to the Lord
Jesus Christ He has travelled
weary way leaving his little boy
behind, delirious with fever. Did
he arrive in time? Would Jesus
be able to help him? He had
heard SO much of the deeds of
this wonderful Prophet. Perhaps
He would take pity. Perhaps
He would come down.
And Jesus was better and
4nightier than he thought. He
took pity on the little boy and
He saved. the fathers soul. He
did more, far more than He was
asked to do, and it was so hard
to convince the man of so much
kindness and so much power.
But when he was convinced,
he believed that Jesus was the
M S "a h, He was the whole
house. Blessed the family that
believes that Jesus is the Christ
and go forth in His Will and
to His Glory.

Serve a Salad


Try a vegetable or combina-
ton salad. You can make it of
salad green's and any available
vegetables of your family's
taste and choosing, tomatoes,
peppers, cucumber, cabbage,
onions, carrots.
Or turn it into a chefs salad
by adding protein to your salad
vegetables. Add slivers of chic
ken, turkey, tongue, cheese,
ham.
For variety, try fruit salads,
too. Use any fruit or cOmbina-
ton of fresh or frozen fruits.
Try them in CONCEALED form
sometimes. You will find fresh
and plentiful now peaches,
watermelons cantaloupes, ban
anaS and grapes.
You will find you can use
these salads as a main dish,
in place of a vegetable with the
main course of a meal or as a
dessert.
Be sure all salad ingredients
are crisp, cold and dry. Cover
and store them in the refrigera
tor until time to use. Make

Dave West, midwest resort owner,
sent in a letter recently telling of the
many experiences he had with vaca-
TONERS last year. He stated that about
80 per cent of the people who stayed
at his resort rented boats at n time
or another and many of them had
either forgotten or never learned the
fundamentals of seamanship.
Good seamanship is the mark of ?
good boater: how he loads it, how he
gets into it, how he gets underway,
how he comes alongside and how we'll
he does the many other things a boat
ing enthusiast does right -. and auto
matically.
In my earlier columns | discussed
the Rules of the Road and the method
of docking properly. Now let's take a
look at the proper method of getting
into your boat and how to load it.
When boarding your boat from a
pier step aboard as close amidships
(center) as possible. Keep your body
low and use the gunwales Sides to
keep your balance. Whatever you do
don't jump into your boat =. diving
exhibitions are for swimmers and not
for boaters.
If you want to load some gear
aboard lay it out on the pier and step
into your boat. Now have someone
hand you your equipment or else reach
e and lift everything into your boat
yourself. As many boaters have found
out, through experience, a skipper who
boards his boat with his arms full of
equipment soon finds out how deep the
water is.
When you are getting away from
your pier don't spin the steering wheel
so that the bow turns sharply in any
given direction. Take it slow and easy
because outboards don't steer like
automobiles.
Seamanship is a must for a good
skipper and every good skipper knows
the proper boating techniques.
Happy boating -. and fishing, too.
Rudy
