Bluffton College Cagers Lose
Games To Cedarville And @. N. u.

After dropping a one-sided de-
cision to Ohio Northern in a tilt at
Ada last Wednesday night, Bluffton
colleges improving cagers put up a
real battle before being edged out
by Cedarville, SO to "a, Monday in
the Beavers first home game of the
season.
Ohio Northern showed too much
power and experience last week, and
the Bears captured an easy 83 to DO
victory, altho they had a halftime
advantage Of only 35 to 81.
In the last half, however, the
Bears cut loose with brilliant scor-
ing sorties to tally 48 points, while
Bluffton was garnering only 19.
Wibbeler and Widner led Northern
scorers with Il and Is points, re-
spectively. Baumgartner, Bluffton
center, was high for his team with
13. Beidler had 10 points.
Bluffton's contest with Cedarville
in the Beavers initial home appear
ance, Monday night was closely
matched all the way, and it soon de-
veloped into a roughly played tilt.
After taking an early lead, Bluff
ton held all the advantage in the
early stages of the game, and had
a seven-point lead about midway
thru the first half.

Basketball Transportation Problems
Differ At High School And College

Bluffton High school and Bluffton
college athletic departments are con-
fronted with problems quite different
in nature with reference to the
transportation problem, it was in
dicated this week.
Press dispatches have indicated
that "B" books viii be available for
college and high school athletic de-
partments. This would provide gas
oline for about $50 miles of travel
ling per month.
The college games are farther
away and will require more gasoline
than that if the present schedule is
adhered to. Curtailment of the
playing schedule will be made neces-
sary, Coach A. C. Burcky stated.

A mixed crowd of so to go farmers
attended the last meeting of the
Sportsmen's Club at the town hall.
The meeting was election night and
the 1943 officers were chosen.
Gene Benroth, elected to the club
presidency by the group, following the
election stressed the Importance of
wildlife protection areas for the pres
ervation of wlidlife plentifully stock
ed in the Allen Hancock areas.
With the idea in mind to fully as
sist the farmers of the community in
proper care and protection for the
wildlife, the State Department of Con-
servation through the funds supplied
to each state by the Pittman-Robert-
son bill passed by congress-plans to
allot for each farm requesting aid
sufficient trees, berry bushes, and
other planting material to replant an
equivalent of one-fourth acre for each
farm. The sportsmen's- club plans
for the coming year to assist the
farmer in obtaining and planting of
this vegetation.
Wilford Geiger, biology and science
teacher at the Bluffton High school,
has been appointed to the position of
club director in charge of the plant
ing program. Full details of the plan
will be released by the Conservation
Department around January l. At
that time the club will take the initia-
tive in supplying the farmers with
full information of the new erosion
control and wildife protection pro-
gram.
Dan Tripplehorn, Bluffton Attor-
ney, will head the committee in charge
of the Game Refuge at the college
campus. This committee headed by
Mr.. Tripplehorn will also be in charge
of the control of the new refugees to
be established by the club the coming
year.
Additional plans for the club to
cooperate with the State program will
be announced in the near future.
Many acres of unharvested soy
beans will be lost for harvesting this
year. Such acreage provides excel
lent winter cover for wild life and as
the pods are gradually split open by
the weather the birds have a food
source that will aid considerably in
tiding them over the winter. The
huge multitude of pheasants left over
from hunting season will benefit prin-
cipally because of the contrary action

O. w. Greiner, living on the Waldo
Hofstetter farm west of town, arrived
home the other evening just in time tc
see grey squirrel chased to the tor
of his chicken house by the dog
After Greiner called the dog away
the squirrel took advantage of the
opportunity and scampered up large
elm on the front lawn near the house
Greiner Immediately got busy and
put up a den in the tree and feed
ing platform on the trunk. The squir-
rel was also cooperative and took over
the den in short order. Now the an
imal lives there continually, fully sat-
isfied with the new living arrange
ments.
The mystery of the express ship
ment for Miss M'Della Moon of the
college biological faculty was solved
the other day. The carton arrived
during the coldest weather and was
labeled live fish, handle with care,
etc. The fact that upon shaking the
box heard no sloshing of water caused
some concern as to what sort of fish
the container could contain. Miss
Moon was also considerably surprised,
upon receiving the shipment, for the
water in the container was frozen
solid and two fish encased were froz-
en- solidly in it. Now the fish which
were identified by Miss Moon as gup-
pys, type of marine life living near
coral islands in southern waters, were
not the least bit harmed by being
frozen stiff. And after they were
thawed out were just as lively as If
nothing had ever happened to them!
The fact still remains the fish were
not ordered and Miss Moon still won
ders TO whom thanks are due for the
specimens.
Miss Agnes Amstutz of the college
faculty has come to the conclusion
that grey squirrels which the club
planted on the campus are of the mo-
ronic type. Viewing one of the bushy
tails from the library window she was
disgusted at the squirrel desperately
tugging at an ear of corn and en-
deavoring to carry the ear up tree.
After repeated attempts the squirrel
succeeded in reaching the top of the
tire and then sat down to enjoy his
dinner. Miss Amstutz says the squir-
rel could have eaten the ear easily on
the ground, and saved all the energy
expended in getting it to the top of
the tree.

paid bounty for crows and hawks the

The high school games are closer
and the driving will not total loo
miles month, it was stated by Sid
ney Stettler, faculty manager of ath-

likely be met with the use of a"

There has been some difficulty in
obtaining the promise for the use of
automobiles for the transportation
