Hunters Report Game Plentiful On
Squirrel Season Opener

In only one instance did this writ
.er find hunter returning from the
woods Saturday without game in his
hunting bag. Some hunters reported
an abundance of squirrels and sew
eral nimrods were back in town with
their limit of by 500 A. NJ. Other
stump-sitters luck varied from one
to 4 squirrels each.
Those who depend on their "Satur-
days-off" for hunting are happy to
know that there are still two Satur-
days remaining in the squirrel season
before it closes September %. The
fact that the split season has been
cast aside has done away with con-
siderable confusion. Hunters, who in
years before travelled to the south
ern counties for the early season, ap-
parently are content to have the en-
tire state come under one open sea-
son.
Local hunting license statesmen did
a rushing business for the opener and
by Saturday night 291 licenses had
been issued by Dillman, Stepleton and
Mumma.
Thirty-three hunters on Saturday,
bagged an aggregate of SO squirrels,
an average of 2.69 fox squirrels each.
Using this average multiplied by POI
licenses sold gives total of 1929
squirrels shot on the opener.
Above total is a conservative esti-
mate for no report was received from
the township clerk, or license deal
ers in the immediate vicinity.
On the basis of the above figures
it would be a fair estimate to say
that at least 1000 squirrels were shot

Pirates Score Early To Defeat

lead in the second and third quart.
ers, Bluffton High Pirates success.
fully countered a determined Ken
ton last-period bid to score a IA tc
13 victory over the Wildcats, al
Harman field last Friday night.
Bluffton's upset victory over the
favored Wildcats gave the Pirates
the lead in Western Reserve grid
standings, for the game was the
first league tilt of the season.
Aggressive Bluffton line play thru
out the first three quarters of the
contest effectively held Kenton's
vaunted power in check, and at the
same time the Pirates uncorked sus-
tanned drives that netted two touch
downs, and barely missed third.
Buttons first tally capped a 63-
yard march, and came when Pogue
slashed off tackle and pulled a sur
prise lateral to Schmidt who went
% yards for the touchdown. SOM
mer place-kicked the extra point and
the Pirates led at halftime, z to 0.
Domination of play on the part
of the Cotterman aggregation con-
tinued in the third period, and an
other down-ield march was capped
when Which whipped 24-yard pass
across the goal to Newland.
Sommer's successful place-kick
conversion then provided the point
that was to ultimately represent the
winning margin, for from that point
the tide of fortune definitely veered
in favor of the visitors.
Kenton came right back to go 30
yards for their first touchdown, with
Hatcher smashing over from the
half-yard line, but the attempted
kick for the extra point was blocked.
The Wildcats shared another
touchdown with less than three min
utes remaining in the game, with
Brown skirting end for the tally.
He then went off tackle for the con-
version.

Bluffton High Eleven Will Meet Ada
Here Friday Night In Second Game

Facing Ada under the floodlights
at Harmon field next Friday night,
Bluffton High gridders will he seek
ing their second successive win of
the season before playing their next
two tits away from home.
In Ada's first start of the season
last week, the Bulldogs dropped a
1S to 0 decision to Wapakoneta at
that place, with both Wapak touch
downs coming in the last half.
With good weather, another ca
pacity turnout is expected to jam
Harmon field for this weeks tilt,
because of the traditional rivalry be-
tween the two schools. Bluffton-Ada

competition dates back to the early
days of football in both schools, and
over the long stretch of years rarely
has either team held a decided adj
vantage over the other.
Another unique twist to this years
contest is the fact that Kent Cotter-
man, Bluffton mentor, and Coach
Schumacher, of Ada, were team
mates for three years at Ohio
Northern university, and during the
season when the Bears won the
Ohio Conference championship.
Last year the Pirates trounced
Ada by 10 to score in the an
nual meeting between the two
elevens.

will largely rest with freshmen, and
so far the Beaver mentor has been
unable to get much of an idea as
to what his starting eleven will look
like in the six-game schedule.
