CUPPOSE you'd created new Blended
- with Havana cigar and you wanted
to be sure it had the true Havana tobacco
taste. Wouldn't Havana itself be the per-
feet place to test it? We thought so-and
that's why we carried our new Blended
with. Havana White Owl all the way to
Cuba. We selected prominent Cubans-
real connoisseurs of cigars-gave them
some of the new White Owls to smoke.
Without exception, they all praised the
rich Havana flavor of this new cigar:
Anybody can call cigar e'Blended'
with.Havana''-even if they put only a
sprig of Cuban tobacco in it: But this
cigar has real Havana taste because it's
made with generous helping of Havana.
We're proud of the Havana tobacco we
use-it's really good grade. Does that
sound unbelievable for a ST cigar? Well,
we're America largest buyers of Havana
and we know what we're talking about.
Fact is, it's the same type of Havana
tobacco used in popular cigars costing lOs
and more. Try a new White Owl.

Will Win Foctor
HiqhIy Important

Il don't mean you have to be
intellectual" he continued. But
after all the message to the muscles
comes from the brains-not from
your ankles or shoulders.
There is willto-win factor that
is important. This is something you
can't take for granted. You may
remember how Bill Roper worked
on this angle with Princeton teams
who often beat better football teams.
This means you have to build up
your subconscious mind along right
lines we'll in advance. The acting,
active conscious mind can't take
care of everything-not when you
might get raped on the chin
which is no great help to the con-
scious mind. You've got to have
something to fall back on until you
can get a new grip on yourself.
I've heard it said and I've seen
It written that wasn't fast enough.
Well, in California I played fullback
and I ran the hurdles. I liked
nothing better than to throw a 40
or IS yard pass at full speed and
you can turn back to the records
to find my average of hits and
misses

The
SPORTLIGHT
Mental Angle Is Half
Of Fight, Nova Holds
By GRANTLAND RICE,

SPECIAL SOITeSpOEucHt "a 1 Ht oldI
NEW YORK, Sept. 8 (N.AN.A).-
While the Australians were lifting
the Davis Cup in Philadelphia
recently we spent good part of the
time with Lou Nova, who feels
absolutely sure he will take care of
Galento and then move on to the
championship against the winner of
the Louis-Pastor affair in Detroit.
Whatever happens to his dream of
conquest, Nova is one of the most
interesting athletes you'll meet in
many a kilometer. He is the first
one I've seen in some time who has
moved to advanced ground in COM
bining both physical and mental
ideas in a contest.
"The physical part" Lou told me
us only so per cent of the arrange
ment. You can't be a good heavy
weight unless you are physically
equipped. But I also think you need
a lot of work on the other side.
Evening star., 1939-09-08
Must Mix Relaxation
With Concentration

There's another thing I've found
in sport You can't take anything
for granted. And this includes con-
centration on the main job. I
honestly don't think Galento can hit
me with a solid punch. But I'm not
going to take this thought for grant,
ed and get careless. And if he does
happen to land, as Max Baer did
more than once, III be all set to get
up and come on.
Concentration is something you
have to practice-to work on. 1t
doesn't come naturally to any one.
You also have to practice relaxa-
ton. I remember Knute Rockne's
idea: I want my team to be mental
ly alert but physically relaxed-not
tied up This is a hard combina ton
to work out. If you get too keyed up
mentally you are liable to get too
; frightened up on the physical side"

Books Qualifications
With Fine Couroae

Lou Nova is one of the most intel
ligent young fellows I've ever seen in
sport.
He was star in three sports at
college. He is powerfully built. a
bigger man than Joe Louis is, and
he has good command of his physi-
cal power. You can't whip 40 and
80 yard forward passes at top speed
unless your timing is good.
He doesn't believe that he is a
superman-or that Joe Louis is a
superman.
Il know Galento is a game, hard
hitting fighting man." he said.
Don't think am undertaking him
IN any way. He can be extremely
dangerous if I start making mis-
takes. If do, that will be my fault.
I'll admit that I couldn't resist the
temptation to slug it out with Max
Baer. But I have no intention of
throwing away my big edge in box
ing skill against Galento. You learn
a lot of things as you go along-if
you'll only profit by your lessons"
Nova has made few mistakes so
far. In Ray Carlen he has one of
the best managers in boxing, and in
Ray Arcel he has one of the top
trainers.
This means that his bid for the
top title has been established on one
of the f1rmest foundations any
young challenger ever knew. 1t is
all up to Lou Nova. He has been
handled ably, and as far as can
figure it all out he has his full share
on the physical and mental side
plus all the courage any one needs.

LOCAL CAMPAIGN
NEARING CLOSE
Principal Interest Centers ON
Sewer Bonds and Bigelow
Amendments -
Campaigns of Town and Town
ship Candidates Entering
Final Stretch

With less than week until elec-
ton, local politics which has been
largely alternating since the pri-
mary is stirring into action. Candi-
dates are showing increasing signs
of activity and something reminis-
cent of the old-time campaigns may
be seen before the ballot-casting day
comes around next week.
The campaign thus far is running
true to form with the principal con-
test manifested in the race for mayor
and marshal positions. Little activ-
ity is evidenced by council candi-
dates.
The school board and board of
public affairs contest may develop
week end activity continuing up to
election day, according to predictions
of some local observers.
Interest On Issues
Principal prediction interest has
centered on issues, rather than can
didates. Of these the local issue of
bond issue for proposed sewerage
system and the state Bigelow amend
ment issues have been the focal
points of attention.
The local option issue on which
Bluffton will vote has brought little
notice in the way of campaign for
or against the measure. Likewise
other state issues besides the Bige-
low amendments have received scant
attention here.
A mass meeting here Thursday
night when Frank Pauly represent
ing the Ohio Emergency committee
will speak against the Bigelow a.
mendments and distribution of lit
erature explaining the sewer issue
the latter part of the week is ex-
pected to close the campaign on
issues. Candidates for town and
township offices, however, are ex-
pected to continue their work of per-
sonal solicitation until election day,
next Tuesday.

Completes 46 Years
As livestock Buyer

1t was forty-eight years ago We'd
nesday that A. E. Lugibill, pioneer
livestock buyer went into business
in Bluffton. Nearing the half-cen-
tury mark in his business career
here, Mr.. Lugibill was receiving con-
gratulations from friends and asso-

went about his routine duties of list
ing daily market quotations at the
stockyards here.
Those were the days when the

With no telephones or automobiles,
livestock men made their rounds thru
the country with a horse and buggy
and after having purchased carload
of cattle and hogs assisted in driv-
ing the stock over the roads to the
yards here.
Bluffton In those days was the
shipping center for the entire farm
ing district between this place and
Pandora since the marrow gauge"
railroad thru Pandora made it inn
possible to switch cars onto the
standard gauge lines.
Mr.. Lugibill was at first associat-
ed with the late Lewis Waltz and
afterward with A. d. Hall whose
death occurred several years ago,
both of whom were widely known
thruout this section.
