Crippled Beavers
Play 10 Man Team,

Bluffton colleges injury-riddled
gridders, with only 10 men in the
starting lineup and most of the time
throughout the game, absorbed an
expected beating at the hands OF
Grand Rapids university, SO to O
last Saturday at Grand Rapids.
Only two veterans were among
Coach A. c. Burcky's starters, and
with necessity demanding the use OF
first-year candidates, many of whom
were receiving their first baptism ir
college play, the Beavers never had
chance.
On the first play of the game
Grand Rapids shook loose a speedy
freshman back who romped 78 yards
for a touchdown. Another score fol.
lowed within the next three plays
and Bluffton was trailing by two
touchdowns with only two minutes
of elapsed playing time.
Freshman Ed Grundham had q
field day at the expense of the help.
less Beavers to score four touch
downs in the opening quarter. Only
in the final period did the local col
legians hold their own, and in thai
stanza the Beavers played stellar
defensive game that kept the Crane
Rapids team scoreless.
When Coach Burcky left Blufftor
for Grand Rapids he had only Il
men free enough from injuries to be
in uniform. Caution dictated start
ing a 10-man team and using il
throughout most of the game because
of the need to have substitutes avail
able. Hugus and Sommers were the
only gridders with experience to see
action in the tilt.
The injury jinx which has haunt,
ed the Beavers all season finally re-
laxed last Saturday, however, and ne

ported as the result of the Crane

also found the Pirates fighting an
uphill battle, after their foes had
gotten away to an early lead.
With the ball in their possession
for the first time, after taking over
on the Bluffton 35, Wapakoneta lost
little time in driving to touch
down. A long pass from Miller to
Ulrich resulted in the score, and Mil
ler's accurate kick from placement
provided the extra point that later
was to represent the Indians VIM
ming margin.
Bluffton's touchdown came as the
result of sustained 65-yard scoring
march. Starting on their own 80 the
Pirates worked the oval to Wapak-
oneta's 25, when Fred Hermann
then chucked a touchdown pass to
John Schmidt. The try for extra
point from placement was no good.

SPORTS IN SHORTS

Resting in the cellar in Western
Buckeye league grid standings is
something new in Bluffton High
grid experience And it is par
ticularly disheartening this year
when Pirate followers stop to con-
slider that except for the jinx that
prevents them from making the
point after touchdown, the Swank-
men would be in second place in the
heated Western Buckeye league race,
instead of the cellar s. That's the
story, however, for with more sue
cess in snaring that elusive conver-
sion point, the Pirates would have a
record of three victories and one loss
in league play, instead of three re-
verses and one tie that now show on
the books.
Only a matter of four points are
involved, but those points represent
the difference between the record of
three wins and one loss that might
have been, and the actual case his
tory of three losses and one tie . !.
Celina, it will be recalled, edged
Bluffton, 13 to IL; ST. Marys and

ing disappointment came last week
when Wapakoneta won, z to 6.
It's chats off" to those courageous
Bluffton College Beavers who simply
won't give up trying +. Riddled by
injuries, the collegians had to use a

A persistent point-after-touchdown
jinx cheated Bluffton high school of
victory for the third consecutive
week last Friday night as Wapakon-
eta eked out a z to 6 decision over
the Pirates on the Indians field.
With more success in snaring that
elusive conversion point the Swank-
men might be in an enviable position
in the Western Buckeye league with
three victories and one loss, instead
of the three reverses and one tie
that now show on the record books.
Celina, it will be recalled, edged

ATTENTION FARMERS AND
SPORTSMEN!

The regular monthly meeting of
the Bluffton Community Sportsmen's
Club Inc, will be held Tuesday
evening, Nov. 10, at 800 o'clock at
Club headquarters in the third floor
of the town hall. As result of the
interest in the development of the
College game refuge, motion pic
lures on game management will be
shown. The picture entitled the
A B C of Game Management is re-
leased by the Ohio State Conserva-
tion Department. Another film on
Hunting In Ohio will also be shown;
and other selected film subjects.
Club president Silas Diller states
that an interesting program has
been planned and urges all members
and friends to attend.
Considerable excitement was caus-
ed last Saturday at Howard Stager's
residence on Grove street when
James Fett discovered a large fox
squirrel crawling along the ground,
its rear leg caught in a steel trap.
James attempted to grab the trap
chain and free the squirrel but it
managed to climb large oak in the
Stager yard and escape. Unsuccess-
full efforts were made by the neigh
bors to locate the squirrel.
The following day Professor Lantz
noticed fox squirrel raising COM
motion near a den oak on the cam
pus opposite his home. Upon in
vestigation, he found the squirrel
with the heavy trap still clamped to
its leg. He removed the trap and
placed the squirrel in the hands of a
Club director. The leg was badly
mangled and the bones broken. The
injured part will be removed and as
soon as the stump has healed the
squirrel will again be released on
the campus.
The trap illegally set out of sea-
son and not bearing the owners
name stamped into the metal, as re-
quired by law, will be placed in the
hands of Herbert Rupright, local
game warden; and an investigation
will be conducted.
Two thousand blue gills from 3 to
5 inches long, and costing over 500
were received Wednesday from the
Wayne Lakes Fish Hatchery of
GreenviIIe, Ohio. They arrived at
noon in tank truck equipped for
that purpose with an aeriating sys-
tenn. The truck driver, ]. v. Spit
ler was accompanied on the trip by
James Light, manager of the hatch
cries. They have been very generous
with our club, having donated 200
extra fish, the order calling for 1900.
Their hatchery consists of 33 rearing
pools, and is situated amidst TOO
acres of quarry water. The blue
gills were distributed in the three

tors is asked. Please report license
numbers of such cars, Immediately

The third floor of the town hall,
formerly the IO.O.F. lodge hall, and
now she headquarters of the Sports
mems Club and the Assembly hall
for the Boy Scout Troop 81, has
undergone complete cleaning and
scrubbing. With hall of adequate
size to house the activities of two
up and coming organizations, prep
arations are under way to increase
the activities of both groups.
Keen interest in outdoor life and
conservation by both club and scout
troop affords an opportunity for dec
orations pertaining to outdoor life.
With this in mind, show cases are
being installed to house displays of
wild life and nature hobbies.
Sportsmen and farmers are urged
to attend a meeting of the Allen
County Advisory Conservation COM
mittee to be held at Plezol Bakery

tions for changes in hunting and
fishing laws will be considered at
this time.
Another trap shoot will be held
next Sunday at Gaiffe's Grove, af-
fording the gang another chance to
get in practice for the hunting sea-
son. The shoot will start at 1890.
