period with two touchdowns.
In setting the stage for the first
tally, Fred Hermann tossed passes
to Weldon Deppler and Neil Schmidt
for gains that took the oval deep

in a sledge-hammer thrust through
the Grove line.
A few minutes later Herrmann's
accurate passing again paid divi7

Two placement kicks in the try
for the extra points were blocked.

Beavers To Tackle
Mt. Union Friday

Bluffton college gridders will get
their first test of the 1912 season
this Friday when they travel to "A
lance for contest with Mt. Unions
formidable Ohio conference outfit.
The Beavers will go into the con-
test with only 10 days practice be-
hind them, and Coach A. c. Burcky
has been working his squad rigpr-
ously in preparation for the assign
ment. A
Starting lineup for. the Beavers
will be: .
Kerr, left end; Fretz, left tackle;
Paul Soldner, left guard; Simcox,
center; Hugus, right guard; Martin,
right tackle; Fred Soldner, right
end; Wenger, quarter; Beidler, left
half; Klassen, right half; Sommers,
fullback.
Altho little is known of the
strength of this years Mt. Union
team, it is foregone conclusion that
Vic ldI gel CulOlliiCAt VI Vic OAllO
conference school will permit it to
put heavier, more experienced out
fit on the field.
Experience is at a premium on
the Bluffton team, with only six let
termen in uniform. Coach Burcky
has Wenger, Hugus and Sommers as
backfield men; and on the line are
Fretz, Soldner and Kerr. Martin
and Simcox, reserves from last year,
give promise of helping to plug gaps
in the line.
OF the squad of "a working out
under Coach Burcky about half are
freshmen, some of whom will get an
opportunity to show their merit in
the game at Alliance.
Following the game with Mt. I'm

tangle with Kenyon at Gambler next
week, then make their first home
appearance of the season against

The mayor had communication
with the engineering firm OF
Champe, Finkbeiner & Associates OF
Toledo which drafted plans for
proposed sewer system here two
wears previous. The proposal to
issue bonds for the project, sub
mitted to a popular vote lost at
that time by a small margin.
Altho voted down at the election
here in 1889, the project is still on
file in the Toledo office of the WPA,
the Mayor stated. Also available

plans which were drafted by the
engineering firm at that time.
With WPA activities considerably
curtailed because of war activities
and construction materials MADE
unavailable because of war demands
it is unlikely that work on construc-
tion of a sewage disposal system
could be started for the duration OF
the war, it was stated.
Cost of complete sewer system
as voted on in 1889 under WPA aid
setup was estimated by engineers at
100000 Of this amount the
municipality was to finance one
fourth, or 100000. The latter
amount was planned to be raised by
$4,000 in general obligation bonds
and $40, 900 in sewage revenue bonds
Cost of the system If installed
under private contract, without
federal aid was estimated at that
time at s250,OOO. Under this latter
plan there would have been no
federal WPA grant and the entire
cost would then have been met by
the town.
