Browning Gridders
Lose To Ch0teau

Last Friday evening Brown.
ing was toppled out of a chance
for the district football crown by
a strong Choteau eleven 7 to 0.
Choteau received the kickoff
but were unable to advance the
ball and they punted to Brown
ing's 30 yd. line where the In
dams Immediately started a goal
ward jaunt which ended on the
Bulldogs 10 I'd. line. The rest of
the first quarter was played in
the center of the field with
neither team threatening the
others goal line for score.
The second quarter was all
Brownings in statistics with the
Indians gaining many first downs
and a large number of yards
from rushing but they all came
IN the middle of the field. To.
wards the end of the half Brown
ing did put on a drive which
reached the Bulldog 30 yd. line
before the gun sounded.
The second half opened with
Choteau receiving and then with.
out gaining ground they punteG
and Browning likewise kicked
back and the contest seemed to
develop into a punting duel. In
the last few minutes of the third
quarter the Indians rallied and
pushed the ball to Choteau's II
I'd. line where it was first and
ten to go. But their drive fal
tered and Choteau took the ball
on downs and punted out of
danger. Browning again had the
ball in midfield but they also
were forced to boot and ball went
out of bounds on Choteau's yd.
marker and put the Bulldogs in
a hole az the quarter ended.
But instead of punting Choteau
tried quar- erback sneak which
netted them 35 yards right
through the middle of the line.
From here they ran the ends and
passed to the lndiags IA yd. line
where they had first down.
They were unable to gain in four
downs and Browning got the
ball. This is where the break
came for Choteau, a Browning
back took high pass from cen.
ter and fumbled the ball and
Choteau recovered on Browning's
5 yd. line. In two plays they
had scored and converted The
extra point by a pass. The time
was short and Browning threat
ened but could not score. MOI
doubt the game would have end
ed in scoreless tie if that break
hadn't occurred.
This Saturday evening Brown
ing will play Shelby there to
wlndup their l94l football sea-
son.

This Is Why You Are
Sleepy In Morning

Morning drowsiness is more easily
understood when it is seen that
mornings have become shorter and
afternoons longer, according to in
vestigations made by Professor Ed
win F. Coddington of Ohio State
university.
After February 10 it will really
be easier to get up in the mornings,
the professor stated.
Although December q was the
shortest day in the year, the sun
continued to come up later each
morning until January A. Not until
February 10 will sunrises be enough
earlier to have a noticeable effect
on that morning drowsiness.
While the sun came up later each
morning until January 4. it had been
setting later each afternoon since
December 6. Thus while mornings
have been shorter, afternoons have
been longer.
The discrepancy between the clock
and the actual sun time is indicated
in the fact that from December 21
to February 10 the afternoons get
55 minutes longer while the morn
ings increase only "a minutes.

Harmon Field Ice
Skating Abandoned

Abandonment of an ice skating
project at Harmon field was an
nounced this week by sponsors of
the proposal, following an unsuccess-
full attempt to provide skating ia
cilities at the recreation center.
An attempt to establish an ice
rink on a part of the field was made
last Wednesday night by municipal
fremen, under the direction of Chief
Guy Corson.
Altho the firemen sprayed the field
for nearly an hour they found the
weather was not cold enough to per-
NIT quick freezing, essential for the
program. They said that for best
results the temperature should be
about 10 degrees above zero.
1t was also found that the terrain
was too rough to give smooth ice
surface.
During next summer preliminary
work will be effected on a part of
the field and an effort will be made
in the following winter to provide
skating facilities for the town and
community, according to Clair Fett,
American Legion official, who assist
ed in plans for the project.

Refugee Children's Fund Collection

China, under the leadership of Ma
dame Chang Kai-sheck. They come
after trudging many weary miles,
some carried on carts and others on
junks or sampans.
CHINESE JUNKs
The junks are the ships of China
and are large, high sterned, blunt
bowed and flat bottomed vessels.
Millions of Chinese people live on
these boats, are born, reared, mar
ried, work and die on their floating
homes.
Most of the junks have at least
five children and from five to ten
adults, perhaps fifteen living on each
of them. Many carry far larger
numbers.
The Japanese navy has sunk,
shelled and set fire to hundreds of
the junks and many thousands of the
crews have been shot or thrown into
the sea to drown.
oH TIC aHe1ce river thousands OF
iunks are used ranging from 100
feet in length to the small sampans.
Against the rapids the junks are
poled, tracked and hauled upstream
by men straining on their bamboo
hawsers, or pushing on iron shod
bamboo poles, doing inch by inch in
many weeks the distance by the
steamer in two days.
But despite all of the lombard
ments, suffering and privations, the
Chinese have become inquired to the
suffering and have heightened their
resolve to keep on fighting, reports

Buck Comes True To Bluffton Lad


Realizing a lifelong ambition to
hob-nob with Frank Buck, interna-
tionally known jungle explorer,
Charles Tripplehorn, -, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Murray Tripplehorn, had
the privilege of a half hour inter-
view with the celebrity in Toledo
last Saturday.
Charles is in the eighth grade at
Bluffton High school and is all en-
thusiastic devotee and student of rep
tiles, turtles, toads, lizards and the
like.
He was among the 10000 boys who
were special guests of one of the
large Toledo stores in a special
show and celebration held at the
Civic Auditorium. Mr. Bucks Jungle
land and African village display
were included in the program.
Eager to confer with Mr.. Buck to
get additional knowledge of reptiles
and other animals Charles mace a
trip to the New York Worlds Fair
last summer, but was disappointed
to have missed the great explorer
Tickets to the special show in Toi 'esc
and arrangements for the interview
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1941-02-06

were made and his dream came true.
In addition to meeting Mr. Buck,
Charles had the excitement of be-
ing photographed with the explorer
for the Toledo papers and several
news reels. A priced possession of
Charles is the autographed copy of
the pocket edition of Frank Bucks
book entitled Bring EN- Back
Alive.
Their discussion centered mainly
about the reptiles and other animals
of Africa. Charles pointed out to
Mr.. Buck that one difficulty he had
was the un-enthusiastic reception
given his interest in reptiles by his
mother. Mr.. Buck told him not to
worry about that because his mother
used to be opposed to his interest in
animals too when he was Charles
age.
Charles knew every animal in the
Frank Buck show and later received
considerable commendation from Mr..
Buck and his associates concerning
his mature grasp of information
about jungle animal life and especial
ly the reptiles.
