Pirates Meet Veteran Wapakoneta
Team After Losing To St. Marys

points against the Indians 1877. Last
years tilt between the two schools
was won by the Pirates, % to T.,
but the preceding year Wapakoneta
was victorious, to 6.
Last week, Bluffton showed that
it has not lost the scoring punch
found in the Celina tilt, but the
Burckymen were unable to match
touchdown for touchdown against st.
Marys' rugged, undefeated eleven,
and the Pirates went down to a
25 to 13 defeat.
1t was simply a case of the oppos-
ing outfit having too much power,
but despite that handicap the Bluff
ton aggregation was in the thick of
the fight every minute of the game
At halftime st. Marys led, 13 to Z.
Fullback Evan Herr scored both
Bluffton touchdowns on line plunges
of eight and five yards, respectively,
and on another occasion a thrilling
Bluffton 80-yard dash across the st.
Marys goal was nullifed when the
referee ruled he had blown the whis-
tie before the play got under way.
St. Marys' victory, its fifth of the
season, put the Roughriders in a po-
sition to clinch the league cham
pionship honors this year if they
can win over Van Wert's Cougars,
who also are undefeated in the
league.

Another severe test against an all
veteran eleven awaits Bluffton High
gridders this Friday night when they
journey to Wapakoneta to meet the
strong Blume High outfit of that
place.
Wapakoneta opened this season
with full team of lettermen, but
with six games behind them a Bluff
ton eleven that was woefully mex
perienced when scheduled play start
ed now is capable of holding its
own against most of the team in
this area.
On the basis of pre-game dope,
which in this case Bluffton follow
ers will tell you is not a fair cri-
terion of the respective merits of the
two teams, Wapakoneta should have
the edge in Fridays tilt.
Against one common foe, Ada,
Wapakoneta lost by one-point mar
gin, and Bluffton was beaten by the
same team, 10 to 7. Since then,
however, the Pirates have made
amazing strides in improvement and
local hackers are hoping for a sec
ond victory in Western Buckeye
