BIuffton College Gridiron Workouts
Start With Lack OF Experienced Men

On the squad of "a reporting for
early workouts are IL upper class
men and IL freshmen. Calisthenics
and preliminary instruction in funda-
mentals have featured the first two
practices, but with distribution of
equipment coming on Wednesday the
squad will get down to more serious
work.
Marking a departure in Bluffton
formations of recent years, many of
this years plays will be run from
the deceptive 1T" which is enjoying
a well-deserved comback, Coach
Burcky said.
The Beavers will open the season
Sept. 25 in a game with Mt. Union
at Alliance, and the Bluffton mentor
has less than 10 days to whip his in
experienced outfit into condition for
the assignment against the larger
Ohio conference school.
Following the opening tilt, the
Burckymen will meet Kenyon at
Gambler, and will appear in the
opening home assignment October 10
when Capital plays here.

With one of the hardest schedules
in years in prospect, the Bluffton
college grid squad is swinging into
intensive workouts this week short
on experienced man power. tsS
Only two nights preliminary prac-
tice have been insufficient for Coach
A. c. Burcky to get definite pros
poets determined for his 1912 grid
iron crew, altho the picture is dark
ened by lack of upper class vet
Grams.
The draft situation taking men in
to the army from the upper classes
has seriously cut into the; iexper-
fenced nucleus remaining after grad
uation last spring, and the enroll
ment of under classmen has been
somewhat hurt because of lucrative
jobs in defense plants.
Returning lettermen who are ex-
pected to do the most good for the
Beavers are Wenger, Hugus and
Sommers, backs, and Fretz, Soldner
and Kerr, linemen. Reserves from
last year who give promise of help
ing to plug gaps in the line are
Kohl, Martin and Simcox.

Grove In Grid Opener Friday Night

erts Burkholder, junior, who has been
shifted from the line to the back
field; James Gratz, senior tackle;
and Richard Klay, senior guard.
Reserves who may see much ac-
ton include Warden Loganbill, Junior
back: Herb Conrad, senior tackle;
James Hermann, junior back; Ken

In addition to lack OF experience
this years team also is short on
weight and the outfit likely will be
the lightest to represent Bluffton in
many a season. The team may par
TALLY make up in speed, however,
what it lacks in weight, for prellm-
mary workouts have indicated IL VIII
be fast and smart.
BIuffton opens the season with
three home games, Columbus Grove
here Friday; Ada here on Sept. 70,
and Pandora on October 2.
Strength of the Columbus Grove
eleven that will oppose Bluffton Fri
day is an unknown factor, altho the
team lost its two best backfield men
through graduation last spring.
Over the years of competition be-
tween the two schools, Columbus
Grove has never won a game, which
in past seasons always has augment
ed the incentive of the Putnam coun-
ty gridders, while Bluffton teams
have been fighting to maintain the
tradition.

Soybean Acreage Increasing

Soybeans are said by the depart
ment of agriculture to be adaptable
to the same soil and climatic con-
ditions as corn. To Offset the loss
of fats and oil imports which nor
mally came from the Far East,
American farmers have been asked
to raise half as many acres again
as were raised last year. To reach
this goal many farmers who have
never raised soybeans before are
cooperating with their county agri-
cultural agents in selecting the vari-
ETY. Of seed best adapted for their
locality. Soybeans are an exceed
ingly useful and versatile product of
the soil. The oil from the beans,
for instance, can serve as an impor-
tant paint Ingredient

Trend of Students Taking Jobs
In Industry Instead of Col
lege Continues
Seventeen i'm Class are Attend
ing Various Colleges in
This District

With y members OF the 1S4z
graduating class of Bluffton High
school employed in private industry,
the war time boom whic hwas felt
for the first time last year continues
this fall to dominate the activities of
students leaving high school, it was
revealed by a placement survey made
at the school this week.
In previous years the largest sim
gle activity was college attendance.
Twenty of the 81 graduates this year
are employed at the Triplett Elec-
trical instrument Co. Fifteen of the
group are attending liberal arts col
leges; two are attending business
colleges and one will go to Bible
school.
One marked difference revealed In
the survey made this year is in the
number of boys who have remained
at home to assist in the farm work.
Half of the IA farm boys in the
class will remain at home this year.
This is a further reflection of the
farm labor shortage being felt thru
out the country.

NEW RATION BOOKS TO
BE READY IN JANUARY

Washington - Distribution to
consumers of the universal ra-
ton book" should be completed
during January, the office of
price administration reports
adds that the job of printing
15O.OOO,O00 such books was the
biggest in history.
Eighteen printing firms in the
country are turning out the
books at a rate, in some plants,
of 100000 a day. Each book has
1872 stamps, making a grand total
of almost 80 billion stamps, which
the OPA said happens to exceed
twelve years continuous produc-
ton of all the postage stamps us
ed in the United States"
The books are printed on pa
per which will "prove real
headache to anyone foolish
enough to try to counterfeit ra-
ton books" the OPA warned.

NATIONAL INCOME AT
NEW HIGH LEVEL NOW

Washington - Secretary of
Commerce Jones estimates that
this years national income would
exceed $117,00O,O0O - nearly
three times the depression low
and that next year it would climb
to $135, ZOO, 100000.
Part of the $4,000, 100000 gain
over 1941 can be attributed to
higher prices, Jones said in
statement, "but the major share
represents an increased volume
of productive activity"
The estimate for this year COM
pares with the 1929 income OF
$50, 1855, 100000, record until
last wear. and the 1882 mark OF
$39, 991 100000, since when the
national income has climbed each
year except 1888. President
Roosevelt set a $10O,O00,OOO,OOC
income as the goal for recovery
from the depression.

OF State National And World News During The Week
MOTHER

Mother is her name,
And I know she will always be
the same.
There is no other,
That can take the place of Mo-
Their.
She is always dear,
And me, she will always cheer.
At night when the days work is
done,
She does not think of fun.
She will sit from eight,
Until it is late.
Sewing on a sweater,
Or something for better.
Then she will 60 to bed,
Where she has always said,
A very nice prayer,
For soldier fair.
Written by Margaret Howell.
