called for from the local oil termi-
|nal. By the time the call was
placed, however, hospital attaches
were administering whole blood
plasma. No mention was made,
DR.. Bass said. of payment for the
blood plasma.
Supporting the doctors state
ment, Darden said, 1.-TWO pints of
blood were administered to Cur
ley before he died, and three pints
were administered to Combs. Dr.
Bass was afraid his supply of
whole-blood plasma would not last
for the transfusions, so he called
for donors. Neither he nor I heard
anything about payment for the
blood"
The letter writer, whose identity
was not established in connection
with the fatal accident, said that
he understood blood plasma was
given to hospitals just for such
an emergency. I, myself, was
in the office of the terminal at this
time, and heard some of the re-
marks about what should be done
to people who would do things
like that.
No fee has been placed on the
use of dry blood plasma for
hospital patients, said Darden. The
plasma was given to the hospital
by the Army. Whole-blood plasma,
however, is manufactured at the
hospital and patients receiving the
whole blood transfusions are task
ed to replace it," Darden said.

Bluffton High cagers will play a
16-game schedule this winter, open
ing against Rawson on the local
court Friday, Nov. %, it was an
nounced Tuesday by Faculty Mana
ger Sidney C. Settler.
Of Ia games already set Bluffton
will play seven at home. An open
date on Dec. II is reserved for an
other home game, and tilt with
Wapakoneta at that place remains
to be scheduled.
Practice for the winter schedule
will get under way Thursday night of
this week, giving Coach Kent Cotter-
man only two weeks to whip his team
into shape for their initial contest.
On the Bluffton squad this year
will be three lettermen: Neil Schmidt,
John Althaus and Wayne Sommer. In
addition there are nine former reserve
players including James Howe, Keith
Kirkland, Robert Which, Kent Stone

As a football star at Ohio North

in his first year as a mentor, Cotter--
man came up the .hard way, for
he had no high school grid ex-

not come until he went to college.

Coach OF Unbeaten Pirate Eleven
Was On College Championship Team

In his last year as a football star
at Ohio Northern university Kent
Cotterman played with an Ohio
Conference championship team; and
in his first full-time season as a
high school coach his Bluffton eleven
went thru an eight-game schedule
unbeaten and united in addition to
winning championship of the formid-
able Western Buckeye league.
Between those two seasons, Coach
Cotterman was serving in the armed
forces of his country, enlisting in
the Navy in June 1943 and remain
ing in uniform until February 1916.
He came to Bluffton this fall for
his first year as a coach, and under
his direction the revitalized Pirates
caught fire and went thru an un-
defeated and united season. He had

Bluffton College Gridders To Meet
Defiance In Homecoming Tilt Saturday

Bluffton colleges Homecoming tilt
with Defiance next Saturday after
noon at Harmon field will pit the
plucky Beavers against one Of Ohio's
best collegiate outfits.
The power-laden Yellow Jackets
have run rampant over their opposi-
ton so far this fall, and at present
hold one of the best records of any
college team in the state They
have suffered only one defeat in
eight games.
Their stars are mostly ex-service-
men, some of whom played for
Defiance before the war but most of
whom came from other colleges. The
team has a high-powered scoring
attack and a rugged defense, and all
in all the Beavers will be in for a
busy afternoon if they hope to
checkmate the attack of their visit
ors in the Homecoming melee.
1t will be the last game of the
season for the plucky little Bluffton
squad, which has won one and lost
three contests so far this fall.
Among Defance's victories is a
win over Findlay, a team that last
week defeated Bluffton, Al to 0,
after being played to standstill in
the first half.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1946-11-07

Buttons outmanned eleven fought
to the finish in two periods of rug
ged play, but altho they trailed by
only one touchdown at halftime, the
team had nothing to call on in the
way of reserve power as Findlay
ground out five touchdowns in the
last half.
Not only did the Beavers beat
back Findlay's scoring attempts
early in the game, but they made a
bid of their own that carried them
to the five-yard line early in the
contest. Boorse broke loose on a
40 yard run to lug the ball to that
spot, but it marked Bluffton's farth-
est point of penetration and Full
back Evan Herr's attempted place
kick on fourth down failed to end
the threat.
The Beavers held off the Oilers
until only two minutes remained in
the first half, then a line plunge
resulted in the touchdown and the
conversion was good as Findlay led
at halftime, TO.
Findlay racked up 18 first downs
and gained 404 yards by rushing
during the contest. Bluffton with
three first downs made only Sc yards
during the course of the game.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1946-11-07

Gaining strength as the season
progressed, Buttons unbeaten team
had its most severe test in the open
er when they edged Kenton, Ia to
Is. From that time they had at
least a two-touchdown margin over
all other foes, and the teams high
score was 50 to Ia win over PAN
dora.
MAJORITY CLASS A SCHOOLS
Only two of the eight teams played
were Glass B schools, and in the
Western Buckeye league, in which
Bluffton is the only Glass B school,
the Pirates had comparatively easy
shedding in their tits with Class A
foes.
In establishing their perfect re-
cord, the Pirates rolled up 214
points and allowed their opponents
to tally only go. The Pirates held
their foes scoreless in three tits,
and allowed only two touchdowns in
another brace of contests.
In six Western Buckeye league
games the Pirates scored 126 points
and held their foes to 48. Their
record is sure to stand as the best
defensive performance of the year
in the league, and it is unlikely
their offensive mark can be bettered,
altho Wapakoneta and Kenton have
a chance to turn the trick on the
basis of their present standing Each
has one more game to play in the
league.
PAIR SPARKS OFFENSIVE
Quarterback Neil Schmidt and
Halfback Dick Newlan, whose school
ing was interrupted by service in
the Navy, were the maintays of the
teams offensive attack this fall.
Schmidt racked up 78 points dur
ing the season and Newlan contrib
uted SIS. Other scoring was: Which,
18; Lewis and Moore, IL each; Klay,
II, all on placekicks; Miller, six,
and Sommer, four, place kicks.
During the season the Pirates
played to three all-time record
crowds at home, and never before
in history was any Bluffton team

Pirate Eleven Ends Perfect Season
With 21-7 Win Over BellefOntaine

missed a second scoring opportunity
when Schmidt's unexpected quick
kick set the Chieftans back into
their own territory, and when their
own punt was blocked. Bellefontaine
weathered that storm, but it was an
entirely different story when the
Pirates threatened again shortly
after the start of play in the second
quarter.
Driving down into enemy territory,
Bluffton took to the air for a tally,
with Which hurting a 20-yard pass
to Miller in the end zone. Klay
converted again, and the count
stood, IA to 0.
Just before the half ended Bluffton
marched to third touchdown, with
Newlan Juggling the ball over on a
line plunge. Klay's kick again was
good.
Bluffton made another scoring bid
in the third quarter, but Bellefon-
taine held for downs on the six-yard
line to turn back the threat, and
from that point the Pirates were
content to play what largely
amounted to a defensive game.
Bellefontaine's tally in the fourth
quarter concluded a march to the
four yard line, from when Nc
Cracken plunged into pay dirt.
Johns plunged for the extra point.

1t took just one play the first
time Bluffton had the ball to
convince Bellefontaine that the un-
defeated Pirates were out to close
their season with a clear slate, and
after Neil Schmidt twisted thru the
line for a 72-yard touchdown dash
on that play the Cotterman outfit
went on to win handily, 21 to last
Thursday night at Harmon field.
In closing their schedule unbeaten
and united, the Pirates also copped
championship of the Western Buck
eye league. During the season
Bluffton romped to eight consecutive
victories, six of which were over
Class A schools in the league.
Buttons first offensive thrust
last Friday night was unmatched by
any one other play during season
in which local hackers became ac-
customed to thrillers.
After taking the opening kickoff,
Bellefontaine had been held for
downs and punted to the Bluffton
% yard marker. On the first Pirate
play, Quarterback Schmidt tore off
tackle, streaked thru the secondary
in reversing his field and raced 72
yards to score. John Klay came in
to boot the first of three successive
extra points made by him after
| touchdown, and the Bluffton team
was out in front to 0.
Late in the first period, the locals
