by the time the bounding pigskin
had been smothered by a host of
woudd-be retrievers it was Pandora's
ball on the Bluffton 10-yard line.
Before the Pirates could recover
from their astonishment, the visitors
had sealed the fate of the game
with a savage line assault climaxed
when Lehman went bursting over the
goal line.
Then, to paraphrase the novel ofsa
few years back, 'the rains came.
Spectators and players alike were
drenched in the downpour that beat
across the field, and for a time the
curtain of rain was so heavy that it
was impossible to see from one end
of the field to the other.
Many spectators went home, but
the teams had to stay at their task.
Even after the rain stopped neither
team had much of a chance to show
anything in the way of a sustained
attack because of the soggy playing

Pandora Scores Winning Touchdown
Early In Game To Defeat Pirates

Even the elements were in league

of Pandora on rain-soaked Harmon

season.

ultimate margin of victory, came
with electrifying suddenness almost
before the crowd had settled in its

Squirrely Niblets

Squirreiy Nlblets
Last week the honors for being the
first to bag the limit of 4 squirrels
on the opener (before most gunners
were thinking about heading for the
woods) went to Oscar Wenger. Os-
car had his four fox squirrels in the
game bag by 7:30 a. m.
Now comes the information that
Oscar was bested by Russell Mont
gomery. Russ bagged three fox
squirrels before TOO and nailed the
fourth before 7:20. Russ entered the
woods at 6:45 and had his limit in 35
minutes. Who can beat this record !?
Better have a witness, chum.
And the best story of all gives
Harry Anderson plenty of credit for
being good shooter and a place of
honor in the sharp-shootin' hall of
fame. Harry bagged squirrels in
one shot with shot gun and with
another shot bagged the fourth bushy-
tail, giving him the limit for the day
in two shots; Nice shootin' mister!
This is one record an Orange town
ship farmer made that won't be brok-
en- for long while.
Now that the squirrel season is
over-it ended officially last Monday,
but not without some argument for
somehow some of last years digest
of game laws were handed out by Ii
cense dealers and on the old digests
the season would have ended on Sat
urday, Sept. 30, while the 1916 digest
stated correctly the season ended on
Monday, Oct. l. which all led to
confusion for the old digest had two
dates on it-namely, 1944-1945 hunt
ing regulations, while the new digest
had only 1945 on it. But Monday it
poured all day anyway. 1t wasn't fit
for dog to be out, let alone a squir-
rel hunter.

The Conservation Department has
approved plans which will mean i'm
proved propagation of pheasants on
game farms in Ohio. Pheasant rear
ing units identical to those in Newark
will set up at the Urbana and Well
ington game farms to produce a
minimum of $4,000 pheasant chicks
at each of the three farms. The
Wellington and Urbana farms will re-
ceived $50 holding pens and go brood
ers each. Incubator facilities at New
ark will be enlarged to handle min
imum of $4,000 eggs annually.
Under the new setup pheasant prop
agation will probably be increased this
year from $4,000 to 10000 birds.
Among other advantages will be the
shortening of transportation distances
in delivering the birds. 1t has been
