FOOTBALL
Bluffton College Outplays Favored
Capital Eleven In &C Tie Game

Playing headsup ball all the way,
a plucky Blufften college .gridiron
team outmaneuvered and outfought
a favored Capital university team
altho held to 6 to 6 tie score last
Saturday afternoon at Columbus.
Bluffton's attack gained momen-
tum at the game progressed in a
drizzle of rain, enabling the Beav-
ers to overcome frst-quarter Cap
ital lead, and twice in the last half
the Burckymen threatened to score
touchdowns that would have given
them victory.
At the opening of the game the
outlook was dark for the Bluffton
crew, as Capital took the ball from
| the opening kickoff and marched 80
| yards to score.
The touchdown was made on a
surprise pass from Keltner to Kalish,
good for 10-yard advance. Altho
attempted with a wet, muddy ball in
driving rain, the pass was COM
pleted and Capital led, 6 to 0.
Alert ball hawking gave Bluffton
its touchdown early in the second
period, as Capital was threatening
for the second time.
Deep in Bluffton territory, Kelt-
ner tried an end run, and just be-
fore he was tackled the slippery ball
slithered from his grasp and went
sailing through the air.
Dick Wenger, Bluffton fullback,
caught the oval on the fly, and as
interference formed rapidly ahead of
him, he raced 80 yards for touch
down that tied the score.
The place kick attempt for what
would have been the extra point was
blocked by Capital linemen.
A penalty for backfeld in motion
nullifed a second Buffton touch
down in the third quarter. Graham
broke loose for 65-yard jaunt ac.
ross the goal, but the officials called
the play back because of the back.

On two other occasions the Beav-
ers drove deep into Capital territory
as they dominated second half play
but the home team strengthened each
time in the shadow of their goal tc
beat back the threat.
Although outweighed and the un-
derdogs in pre-game predictions
Bluffton's improving team demon
strated that promise shown in two
previous starts is beginning to bear
fruit.
Bluffton will have an open date
this week, and will not see actor
again until Saturday, October 1S
when the Beavers entertain Otter
bein here in their annual Homecom
ing assignment.

Bolivian army in night raids.
Anti-Nazi
Most of the newspapers in
Paraguay are strongly anti-German
in their editorial policies rejecting
the feeling of the common people.
The army group, however, seems to
have more sympathy with the Ger
man cause than is the case of the
common people.
The native Paraguayan is part
Indian and part Spanish. Most of
them speak the Indian language
although Spanish is the official
language Of the country. The ma
tives are generally a very friendly
and hospitabIe people.
The suits worn by the men are
about the same quality and consist
ency of material as American
pajamas, Harder stated. The houses
are dirty and poorly kept. When the
women take their wares to market
they invariably wear silk.
Crops
! Because Of the alternate rainy
| and dry seasons it is difficult to
raise vegetables in any quantity
The principal crops raised by the
Mennonite colony are cotton, pea
nuts, melons and beans. Since the
government has set the price foi
which the crops are bought, the
colony has been having some diff
ficulty in making an adequate
profit, Harder pointed out.
Much of the country is thick
jungle land with many wild animals
and poisonous snakes. Insects, too
abound in the area.
Harder has found the standard Of
living in this country to be unbe
lievably high. He is preparing t.
teach in one of the Paraguayar
colonies and is studying mainl.
Bible, history and German in addi
tion to the usual required subjects.
