Dyck encountered group of Ne
groid natives. Their weapons con-
sisted of blow pipes that used poison
darts. The tribe members wore no
clothing and appeared to be very
primitive in their customs.
RELATED TO KLASSEN
Dyck is a close relative of Pro-
fessor Klassen and both men lived
in the same town in the Russian
Ukraine before the revolution. The
village was located near the city of
Dnieperopetrovsk, which was recent
ly taken by the Nazis in their strug-
gle with the Soviets. Dyck came to
Bluffton college in 1927, largely due
to the influence of Prof. Klassen.
He received his Ph. ID. degree in
bio-chemistry from McGill univers-
ity at Montreal, Canada, after grad
uating from college here.

GOING TO BRAZIL
Recognizing what had been done
in the Far East, the government of
Brazil induced him to undertake a
similar development in that country.
Dyck is now enroute to South
America and will sail October from
New Orleans for Rio de Janeiro
where he should land two weeks
later. He will be assigned to a
working location probably somewhere
near the mouth of the Amazon
river.
In Malay, Dyck lived with a

Superior Strength Gives Grand Rapids
26-O Victory Over BlufftOn College

back Jack Barrows ficked a 20-yard
pass to Duncan Leckta for touch
down. Barrows converted on a place
kick.
During the second quarter, the
plucky Beavers battled the larger
Grand Rapids team to standstill,
and at the close of the stanza un-
corked a threat Of their own that
carried them to the visitors 18-yard
stripe. On the last play before the
end of the half, quick pass trickled
off the ends of the fingers of a
Bluffton receiver, and the play would
have meant touchdown had he held
onto the ball.
Grand Rapids struck paydirt again
in the third quarter on Barrows' II
yard pass to Norcross, right end.
Two SCORES IN FOURTH
Two more touchdowns came in the
fourth quarter, when the visitors
capitalized on interruptions of des-
perate Bluffton passes deep in the
home teams territory.
Leckta passed to Norcross from
the 20-yard stripe for the third
touchdown, and near the end of the
contest Leckta's aerial heave from
the three was caught by Halfback
Leatherman for tally Leekta con-
verted on a kick from placement.

Superior weight and reserve force
gave the Grand Rapids Lancers a
26 to 0 victory over Bluffton college
in the Beavers first start of the sea-
son last Saturday night at Harmon
field.
For the first two quarters, the
lighter Purple outfit put up val
liant battle, but the Burckymen weak
ened before the almost constant pa
rade of reserve players fired into the
contest during the last half by Coach
"Potsy" Clark.
AS it was, the local collegians
would have held the visitors to only
brace of touchdowns had they not
elected to gamble late in the game
in the hope they might start a scor-
ing march.
STURDY DEFENSE
Throughout the contest, the Beav
ers throw up sturdy defense
against running plays that forced
the visitors to take to the air fol
all four of their touchdowns.
The passing attack of the Lancers
however, was something new in col
legiate football offered to local fans
In its versatility and success, the
aerial effectiveness of the Crane
Rapids team clearly showed the pro-
fessional touch of "Potsy" Clark
who for years was one of the top
notch professional coaches. Passing
plays were quick and deceptive and
Bluffton failed to solve them most
of the time.

First score of the visitors came il

jungle in the interest of locating
suitable land for rubber cultivation.
On one occasion, as he turned the
bend in a path he found himself
confronted with leopard. With a
gun handed to him by "coolie"
who was accompanying him, he
killed the huge cat. He had the
animal skinned and brought the skin
to the Klassen home where he
showed it to his friends.
MANY ENGLISH
The bulk of the poplation in the
compound are English. They raise
their children there but send them
to Europe or America for their edu-
cation. Everyone in time notices
the weakening effect of the tropics.
At first, when the body is strong one
does not notice the effects of the
tropical climate. But later the op-
pressive humidity tells on the body,
Dyck stated.
1t rains practically every day, us
ually beginning about 300 o'clock in
the afternoon. The annual rainfall
of the area is approximately lao
inches. The average low tempera-
ture is rs and the average high is
81. The air is always heavily laden
with moisture.
Everyone dresses for the weather
and shorts are worn most of the
time, even for business work in the
office, Dyck said.
PoLYNESIAN RACE
The native Malayans are of the
Polynesian or brown race and are
very attractive in appearance. Nu-
merically there are more Chinese and
Indians on the peninsula than Ma
layans. Although one learns to
know the Malayans the whites do
not mix with them. Malayan gov
ernment employees all speak good
English. Workers at the research
center learned to speak the Malayan
language. Dyck stated that he had
little difficulty in mastering the
| language.
In one of his searches for suitable
growing land Dyck came upon a
large beautiful temple in the Cam
bodlan province. He was able to Sc
cure a Cambodian goddess carved
out of solid copper and studded with
rubies. The goddess had been housed
in the Cambodian temple for a
thousand years, Dyck was told by
native. Dyck brought the piece
back to the states with him.
LITTLE WAR EVIDENCE
There has been little evidence of
the war in Malay except that all
Europeans have been forced to go
into military training. Research
and industrial operations are being
carried on with little difficulty, Dyck
stated

then Howe broke through center for
a 50-yard jaunt to the six-yard
stripe. A quarterback sneak put the
ball on the one, and Hermann then
plunged over from that point.
SCHMIDT RUNS WILD
In the fourth quarter, Schmidt
took Columbus Grove punt on his
own 20 and almost went all the way
for score, but he stepped out of
bounds on the Grove 36.
On the first following play,
Schmidt went around end for seven
yards, and Howe cracked thru CEN
ter for seven more. Klassen picked
up six on reverse, and a pass,
Hermann to Schmidt was good for
Is yards and a touchdown. Herr
mann passed to Cooney for the con-
version.
Bluffton held decisive edge thru
out the contest, and was forced to
punt only once during the course
of the game. The Pirates tailed IL
first downs to four for the visitors,
and 10 of Is passes were completed
by the Dillermen.
In yardage by rushing, the Pirates
gained 1877 yards and they picked up
121 more on passes. Groves total by
rushing was 4S yards, and the team
made Is on passes.

FOOTBALL

Demonstrating superior power in
every department, Bluffton Highs
1941 grid machine showed promise
as it rolled to a 3S to victory over
Columbus Grove last Friday night
at Harmon field.
After scoring one touchdown in
the first quarter, the Pirates broke
loose to tally two more in. the sec
ond period; added another pair in
the third and topped their evenings
scoring parade with the sixth touch
down in the closing stanza.
Showing a well-balanced scoring
punch, the Bluffton team sent five
men across the payoff stripe. Schmidt
Tailed twice, and one touchdown
each was scored by Kassen, Cooney,
Beidler and F. Hermann.
Bluffton Tailed for the first time
early in the contest, marching 3S
yards for a touchdown the initial
time the crew had possession of the
ball.
SCORE ON THREE PLAYS
An interesting penalty gave Bluff
ton the ball on Groves 38-yard line,
and Schmidt made first down on a
14yard end sweep on the first play.
A pass, F. Hermann to Cooney,
was good for II yards, and on the
next play, Paul Klassen scored on a
double reverse from the 14-yard line
Cooney kicked the extra point.
Bluffton's second scoring march
started on their own 20 yards line
Schmidt went % yards on spinner
and Howe and Schmidt picked up II
yards on the next two plays for an
other first down. Two attempts al
the line gained only two yards but

On two fumbles Bluffton lost eight
yards, but Cooney took a 10-yarc
pass from Hermann and sprintec

TUMBLE IS COSTLY

High School Gridders To Play Ada
Here Friday; College At Kent State

Bluffton High and Bluffton college
gridders will meet their second tests
of the season this week, with the
Pirates entertaining Ada here FRI
day night under the lights at Har-
mon field, and the collegians playing
Saturday afternoon at Kent State
university. il ss4.Ess
In the contest at home, the high
school eleven is slight favorite
over Ada, but despite the edge in
"dope" the Bull Dogs are expected
to give a. good account of them
selves.
Ada lost its opening assignment
against Wapakoneta at that place,
IA to 0, but the Big Red team this
year is heralded as one of the best
in several seasons to come from the
Auglaize county town.
Like Bluffton, Ada was forced to
rebuild an almost entirely new out
fit, but the crew is said to have sew
eral newcomers who are developing
rapidly.
1t will be the second home appear
ance in a row for the Pirates who
came thru last weeks contest with
Columbus Grove unhampered by in
juries.
Bluffton college will face another
severe test in its assignment against
Kent State university at Kent this
Saturday.
1t will be the Kent crews opening
game of the year, and the Beavers
will have slight advantage from
the standpoint of play under fire,
for they tangled here last week with
Grand Rapids.

Tuesday, squirrel hunting generally
has not been so successful since the
season opened Monday, according tc
Bluffton sportsmen.
1t is too dry in wooded areas of
the district to permit average hunt
ing conditions, for squirrels hear the
cracking of twigs and branches and
keep well hidden for the most part

In every other way, however, the
advantage all will be Kent's. A vet
eran team is playing for Coach
Starn this season, and the larger
school will have a wide edge in
weight and superior replacement ma
terial, all of which will count against
the Beavers.
With his most promising crew in
several years hard at work, Coach
Burcky is confident that his crew
will put up game battle against
their formidable foes and he is
counting on a sturdy defense to keep
the Beavers in the running.
