marked in every department except
passing, and Buttons adeptness in
that type of play gave the larger
Orangemen several scares.
Bluffton's most decisive threat was
in the third quarter when Quarter
back Dick Wenger whipped a long
pass to Halfback Norman Beidler
that netted AZ yards and advanced
the ball to Findlay's IA yard line.
From there, the Beavers penetrated
to the nine, but they were unable
to punch the ball over for the score
that would have enabled them to es-
cape a shutout.
In nine completed passes out of 27
attempts, the Burckymen picked up
total of LOG yards, as compared
with only IL yards gained by rush
ing. Findlay, failing to complete
plass, piled up 379 yards in run
ming the ball from scrimmage.
In wearing down the small Bluff
ton team that must play "iron-man"
ball because of a lack of reserve ma
terial, the Findlay coach used 36
players

Lack of weight and sufficient re-

eous gridders as the Beavers went
down to defeat before Findlay col
lege, % to 0, in a homecoming con-
test at the Findlay stadium last
Friday night
In winning the battle, Findlay
scored once in each quarter. The
Oilers marched 65 yards for their
first-period tally, and in the second
stanza a 67-yard touchdown drive
gave the Orangemen a II to 0 lead
at halftime.
One of the outstanding plays of
the game came in the third quarter
when Halfback Sustersic knitted thru
the Bluffton line, wormed his way
through the secondary and romped
SO yards to score.
Findlay's last-quarter touchdown
was made by Capt. Frank Glen when
he intercepted a Bluffton pass and
ran as yards for the score.

WITH THE
SPORTSMEN'S CLUB

Record for squirrel hunting goes to
Charley and Jess Mangus. The two
bagged twenty-five. Jess is working
nights so that left his days free for
hunting.
Dan Tripplemhorn got four fox
squirrels in a woods near the Bentley
road. Two more could have been had,
said Dan who bagged at least one
every time he went out.
Thanks to the Sportsmen's club re-
stocking program squirrels are get
ting plentiful again in this area.
A flock of wild ducks flying over
town sent Don Wenger to the postof-

stamp. It's illegal to shoot ducks
without this permit and Don wanted

Movies of the grouse management
were shown at the last meeting of the
Sportsmen's club. The film is fur

grouse some day will be plentiful in
hardwoods areas of the state.
Silas Diller, club president states
that an order for S120 worth of fox
and grey squirrels will be sent here
from the Sandhill farms at Babcock,
Wis. The squirrels are to be shipped
before cold weather and the majority
will be placed on the college campus.
The campus is state controlled

hammered to Celina's three-yard line,
with three down to go.
A tumble at that point gave Ce-
lima the ball, and team with less
perseverance probably would have
given up hope for only four minutes
remained in the ball game.
Not so Bluffton, however, and after
Celina had kicked out to the Celina

work in earnest. 1t took only three
plays to fashion a touchdown from
that point, with Burkholder again

nouncement came the other day that
$50 million of the first ail-purpose
ration books will be ready about the
holidays. Just to give you an idea
of the size of this job, here is what
it took to supply the country with
sugar ration cards and booklets:

The sidewalks of New York are

The Bluffton News really gets
around these days when Bluffton
boys are in the far off corners of
the earth. Writes Corporal Francis
Wilkins from somewhere in the Pa
cific that the Bluffton, boys in his
outfit congregate in the evening to
read the News which reaches him
regularly. Wilkins says he would
like to hear from some of the home
town boys in the service, and his
address appears elsewhere in this
issue.
Paul Pursell, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Pursell, three and one-half
miles west of town, spotted a per-
fectly white mouse scampering across
the field with several grey mice. He
captured it alive and it is now his
pet. He brought it to school the
other day where he showed it to his
school mates. The mouse is an ex-
cellent illustration of the albino and
has the pink eyes characteristic of
the lack of pigmentation.
The fish at the Buckeye quarry
have been biting as though they are
really hungry lately. Rhuel Kohler
and his son Richard caught nice
mess of catfish Sunday night. The
largest one measured Is inches in
length. Minnows were used for bait.
Alice Santschi, Bluffton high
school junior, says that the five cats
at herho me keep her busy keeping

next one is seven years old and is
called Little Sister. The next is five
years old and is called Son. Two
kittens are called Junior and Ration.

Almost any Sunday afternoon you

Life in the navy is a mighty
strenuous type of activity, Walter
Stannus in training at the Great
Lakes Naval Training Station, writes
to his former classmates in the soph-
