Bluffton High Team Pointing For
Van Vert After Losing To Pandora

Bluffton Highs second gridiron
assignment of the season against a
Western Buckeye league team will
be one of the severest on the sched-
ule, for Van Vert, the opponent in a
game there this Friday night, is de-
Tending champion of the league and
is making determined bid to re-
peat again this fall.
Van Vert, undefeated last year.
lost its opening contest this year TO
Bryan, then bounced back to wallop
Defiance and kenton as the team
returned to winning form.
The defending league champions
have a heavy team that will decid-
edly outweigh Bluffton in nearly
every position. Last Friday the
Cougars crushed Kenton, 35 to o in
its first league game of the season.
Bluffton also has played Kenton,
that game ending, 90 to O., in favor
of the Hardin county crew, and the
comparative scores of the two con-
tests indicate Van Vert will be a
decided favorite in this weeks game.
Coaches of the two competing
teams are no strangers to each other,
for they have matched wits many
times when Coach A. c. Burcky was
directing Bluffton college teams, and
Coach Gilbert Smith, of Van Vert,
was in charge of Defiance college

Catches Large Trout

Lucky Amos Klingler of Orange
township has at least one fish story all
will have to believe for Amos produc-
ed the evidence. In a trip to the
south branch of the Manistee river in
upper Michigan near Welston, Amos
snagged whopper of a rainbow that
measured 271a inches and weighed
7h pounds. 1t was caught near
Loomis Landing where Amos and his
family spent few davis vacation.
The big fish created sensation here
at home for Amos brought the mon
ster trout along home with him all
packed in ice to show to his friends.
Michigan has a varied trout season
and in some localities of the state the
season is extended for a longer per-
iod. The season will run on beyond
Labor day and include the months of
Sept, Oct, and Nov. in some sections.

Game Census to be Taken

Plans are underway to take a CEN
sus of game shot in the Bluffton hunt
ing area at the close of the hunting
season. In the first census a card will
be enclosed in the annual letter to the
membership mailed the first week in
December. This letter vii lalso con-
tain the year end report of the organ
ization. The first card will ask all
hunters to report on the number of
pheasants and squirrels taken in the
townships surrounding Bluffton.
The second card will be enclosed in
a letter to the membership mailed the
first of the year and information will
be asked concerning the number of
squirrel and racoon taken during the
season in the Bluffton hunting trrri-
tory.
Information will also be sought as
to the number of bass, blue gills, crap
pies, channel catfish and other game
fish taken in Bluffton quarries during
the past year.
The census will be taken to enable
the restocking committee better to
estimate the needs of the area in game
and fish rstocking for the coming
year.

with interest as the coon clambered up
the tree to the den and sat down on a
limb nearby. One thing sure, we are
positive one coon took good look at
an experimental den, if that is any
consolation to the department. Wheth-
er or not the coon went into the den
later can not be answered at this time.
The squirrels when released were
plenty excited and ran like mad in the
wrong direction. 1t took some ener-
gy out of few members to head them
back toward the woods again. The
two fox squirrels were released at the
edge of the woods for photograph
purposes.
Dens were nailed into the trees by
ST Diller, Herb Rupright, Kenneth
Dearth, Spike Berry, and Wilbur Fish
who proved his ability by driving in
the spike while holding the den high
above his head in a position where
he could not even see the spike. All
agreed he most have had x-ray eyes
to accomplish the job. To Jack Ber-
ry goes the honor of installing the
coon den and Herb did a good job of
setting the extension ladder each time
a den was erected.
During the afternoon the men had
free access to a keg of cider and doz-
ems of doughnuts which provided plen-
ty of energy for those engaged in the
activity.
Those present who aided in the pro-
gram were: Leon Hauenstein, Harry
Mumma, Edgar Montgomery, Charley
Fisher, Gilbert Montgomery, Dean
Dearth, Ned Benham, Kenneth Dearth,
Sam Hauenstein, Wilford Geiger, Will
bur Fish, Jack Berry, Bernard Fish,
Gail Mumma, Herbert Rupright, o.
E. Dudgeon, Ray Mumma, Frederick
Tschants, Allen County Game Pro-
tector Harry Williams, Charles Bes-
sire, Nelson Herr, Albert Garmotter,
Cliff Elliott, Gene Benroth, Howard
Rickly, Jess Manages and Gerald Ber-
ry who supervised the erection and
placing of dens and release of game.
Plans are being made to show the
motion pictures and photographs TAX
en- at the club meeting next Tuesday
night.

cAu1 -
Buttons green team has been
running the gamut of troubles it
was expected to encounter this fall,
and last Friday suffered its third
defeat, % to G, at the hands of
Pandora.
1t was the first time that Pandora
has been victorious in the tradition
al tilt since 1885, and in last Fri
days conquest Halfback Amstutz,
who has Tailed 40 points in three
games, represented the margin of
victory between the two squads.
Pace-setter of his teams ground
gaining attack, Amstutz scored two
tonchdowns, and helped engineer the
third on brilliant 52-yeard dash by
End Sutter that took the form of a
modified Statue of Liberty play.
Pandora's other two points were
scored on a safety when Bluffton
pass was batted down by Miller in
the safety zone.

Club Members Erect Dens in Rickly
Game Reserve
A good deal of activity at the How
ard Rickly gave reserve south of town
Sunday afternoon resulted in the
erection of an experimental raccoon
den and six squirrel dens in the tall
trees of the Rickly woodlot and the
release of squirrels and raccoon for
restocking purposes. A crowd of
nearly 80 sportsmen gathered at the
woods in the afternoon to aid in the
program. Cliff Elliott was on hand to
snap pictures of the activity and Leon
Hauenstein shot roll of film with his
movie camera.
During the past week box traps
were placed at various spots on the
college game refuge and two fox and
grey squirrel were trapped for re-
lease on the Rickly reserve.
Providing plenty of excitement was
the escape of the coon as it was being
taken from the cake. The animal was
finally captured after it made sue
cessful lunge at Ned Benham's leg
and sank its teeth in his trousers.
Benham shook his leg plenty to get
rid of the creature and finally the coon
was stuffed in sack by 81 Diller.
Transporting the coon to the center
of the wood Kenneth Dearth showed
his ability to handle wild animals in
a Clyde Beatty manner and with bare
hands took the lunging animal from
the gunny sack and placed it on the
same tree where the artificial den had
been installed. All present watched
