Bluffton High and Bluffton college
gridiron teams absorbed one-sided
beatings last week at the hand OF
favored and much stronger opponents
in games played on foreign fields.
Coach Dwight OILERS high school

down the stubborn resistance of the
local collegians to win, 81 TO 0.
Bluffton High had little chance
against the power of Celina which
has capable squad including Is

favorites in the Western Buckeye
The Bull Dogs scored early in the
contest, crossing the goal line twice

Byrd's Antarctic Snow Cruiser
To Pass Thru Beaverdam Tuesday

Admiral Richard E. Byrd's 37-ton
snow cruiser which he will take with
him this fall on his second Antarctic
expedition will pass thru Beaverdam
on the Lincoln highway next Tues
day. tiaA a@s =
Although the schedule is difficult
to determine in advance, it is expect
ed that the gigantic vehicle will
reach Beaverdam about II a. M,
with the actual time possibly vary
ing as much as. an hour either way.
Because of the extreme size of the
cruiser, said to be the largest auto
motive unit in the world, the snow
cruiser will travel only by day on its
journey from Chicago to Boston,
where it is to be loaded on Admiral
Byrd's ship.
The cruiser has top speed of 80
miles an hour, but it will average
only about 90 miles an hour on its
trip overland.
Much larger than the largest
transcontine1tal buses, the cruiser
combines the comforts of home with
the necessary efficiency and versa
tility of a research laboratory. 1t
can carry five-passenger airplane
on it's top deck and when fully
equipped it will weigh about $4,000
pounds. Large fuel tanks permit a
nonstop cruise of as much as 5000
miles.
Actually the cruiser is similar to
our modern Diesel-electric trains
Each wheel is individually driven
and steered, and the vehicle has two
gigantic Diesel motors, one an aux
iliary which develops 300 horse
power for each wheel.
Design of the cruiser is such that
it can span crevasse Is feet ir
width without difficulty.
The cruiser was built in Chicago
by the research foundation of the
Armor Institute of Technology at ar
aggregate cost of $150,O00. 1t has
been loaned to the United States
