Four veterans paced golfers The defending CIC champion Bruins finished last in the conference meer and finished the overall season with a 1-9 record. Mr. Ross Myers, a new coach for the squad, began working our his team early in March, but the graduating seniors in '70 left a large gap to be filled. Coach Myers had only four returning lettermen -Mike Ducy, Mark Hornbaker, Mike Edson and Rich Markley. The linksmen won their meet from Southern Wells midway in the season, but failed to win any other meets for the remainder of the year. The JV team faired a bit better, win- ning four of their eight scheduled meets. Golf-111

Number-one Bruin grappler jack Abbott pin.: hi: opponent, a Tipton Blue Deuil, ax a preview of the CIC mee! rexultr. bbott led 5-win squad Although there were only three return- ing lettermen for the '71 wrestling sea- son, the team compiled a significant 5-4 season record compared with a 3-4 mark for last year's season. Behind the leadership of Coach Steven jeffrey, senior jack Abbott led the Bruins with an individual record of 19 wins and two losses, for a total of 75 match points. Along with Abbott, Carl Wilcoxon and Dave Bickel were the top three scorers. This year's Bruins contained only two seniors, along with four juniors, four sophomores, and six freshmen for a total of 16 athletes participatin. A rigid nightly practice to condition wrestlers included exercises and instruc- tion in holds and takedown techniques, followed by squad competitions to de- termine who would wrestle in meets. In their regular season the squad opened with a loss to Oak Hill. How- ever, after their second loss, to Win- chester, the Bruins came back with a four-game winning streak before being stopped by Norwell. Winning the next contest by their greatest margin of any bona fide match, the Bruins defeated Wabash by 40 points and then ended with a loss to Eastbrook. Coach jeffrey said he was pleased with the performance of his men this year. 110-Wrestling WRESTLING SCOREBOARD BHS OPP. 28 Oak Hill ................ 50 23 Winchester .............. 35 60 South Adams Qforfeitj ..... 00 49 Marion ................. 5 40 Adams Central .. ...IS 44 Tipton ....... 5 18 Norwell .,... . . . 33 46 Wabash ..... . . . 6 12 Eastbrook ...35 This stand-up escape gave Tony Tignor one more point toward victory over Tipton op- ponent.

Impro' 'd f'hd d' CIC 1971 was definitely a year that saw track take its place alongside other major sports at Blackford. The improving cin- dermen of Coach Mark Crain posted a 6-2 record in their dual meets and fin- ished second in the always tough CIC. Underclassmen dominated the team, and juniors Doug Osborn and Doug Bed- well, along with sophomore Mark Baugh- ey, advanced to the regional track meet as a result of their showings in the sec- tional. Osborn, one of the best milers in the area, won that event in the sec- tional, and Bedwell finished second in the hurdles to advance him to the re- gional. Baughey finished a close sec- ond in the sectional 880-yard run, which qualified him to compete in that event at the regional. The Bruins started their grand style, winning their meets, and coasted along to the end of the season for the IHSAA meets and the CIC meer. The CIC meet was held at BHS for the first time, and conference officials were sure that it would not be the last. season in first five 1 1 2-Track TRACK SCOREBOARD VARSITY BRUINS i OPP. 83 Bluffmn .... ,. . . . .635 47 Elwood .... .... 7 1 63 'Wabash ............. 55 83 Dunkirk - .... . ....... .35 61 Bstbnook 7. ......... 56 , 76 .
