Swinging into basketball play only
two weeks after the close of the
football season, Bluffton High school
cagers will open an 18-game sched-
ule against Rawson in the Blutfton
gymnasium this Friday night.
With less than two weeks practice
at his disposal, Coach Kent Cotter-
man has had little time to get a
definite viewpoint of the prospects
for his team which must go into a
rigorous schedule with the hopes of
continuing last years unbeaten rec
ord.
Much as the situation that pre-
vailed with this years football team,
the Bluffton mentor will be more or
less starting from scratch in at
tempting to build up winning COM
bination.
Of the first 10 men on the squad
last year, Coach Cotterman lost ALI
Ohio forward Neil Schmidt, Wayne
Sommer, Keith Kirkland, Bob Which,
Kent Stonehill, John Althaus, May
nard Pogue and Mike Reagan. This
leaves only two veterans, James
Howe and Kenneth Bracy as the nu-
cleus for this years team.

In memory of our dear little boy
Gene Lynn who passed away five
years ago November 16, 1912.
Mr.. and Mrs. Homer Bracy
and Children
THE CHILDREN UP IN HEAVEN
"Oh, what do you think the angels
say?"
Said the children up in heaven;
"There's a dear little boy coming
home today,
He's almost ready to fly away
From the earth we used to live in.
Let's go and open the gates of joy,
Open them wide for a new little
boy"
Said the children up in heaven.
"God wanted him here where His
little ones meet"
Said the children up in heaven.
"He shall play with us in the golden
street;
He has grown too fair. He has
grown too sweet
For the earth we used to live in;
He needed the sunshine, this dear
little boy,
That giIds this side of the gates of
joy"
Said the children up in heaven.
ely with him quickly, o angels,
dear!"
Said the children up in heaven;
"See-he is coming! Look there
At the jasper light on his sunny
hair,
Where the yelling clouds are riven!"
All! hush, hush, hush! All the
swift wings furl!
For the King himself, at the gates
of joy,
Is taking his hand, dear, tired little
boy,
And is leading him into heaven.

muddy field at Lima stadium.
Bluffton scored first in the con-
test, with the most impressive fire.
works Of the tilt coming in their 80
yard second-quarter touchdown
march.
Starting on their own 20, the
Beavers racked up five successive
first downs in a beautifully coordin-
ated offensive attack that included
just about everything in the book.
Then, on Northern's 18-yard line,
Halfback Harold Schertz broke loose
to romp the remainder of the dis
tance for the six-pointer.
Unable to do anything through
Buttons line, fighting its heart out
in defensive play, the Bears had to
take to the air for the touchdown
that tied the score in the latter
stages of the second quarter.
The stage was set for the rally
when Northern took the ball on
downs on Blufton's az. A pass
advanced the Bears to the % from
where they then marched to the
three. Bluffton's line held beautiful
ly at that point, however, and North
ern finally scored on a third pass
attempt to knot the count.
The Beavers looked especially
good in the first half when they
racked up eight of their 10 first
downs. Northern had only nine first
downs, four in the first half and
five in the last.
No penalties were called on the
Beavers in the tilt, with Northern
drawing a total of 80 yards.
In Bluffton's starting lineup were
Frost and Alderfer, ends; Crawford
and Hartman, tackles; Hearne and
Allison, guards; Neuenschwander,
center; Gratz, quarterback; Shertz
and Gleason, halfbacks, and Bourse
fullback.
In seven games this fall, the
Beavers failed to capture a victory.
altho all the contests but one were
against much larger schools.
Opponents racked up a total of
1853 points against Bluffton's 10, with
the only Beaver scoring coming in
the Kenyon, Ashland and Northern
games.
Season scores were Bluffton o.
Wilmington 13; Bluffton 7, Kenyon

Whiteville Pack Plays
Burgaw This Afternoon
BY IGGS POWERS
Star Sports Correspondent

WHITEVILLE, Sept. rs. -
Coach Earl Brinkley pronounc-
ed his Whiteville Wolfpack ready
for their Farmers Day battle
against Burgaw here tomorrow
afternoon, after closing practices
today which consisted of light
signal drills. Kickoff time for
tomorrows game is set for $3.50.
Brinkley's charges have had a
very hard week, as practice ses-
sions go, as the willy mentor was
dissatisfied with the way the
Pack operated in last weeks mar
row 7 to 6 win over the Fighting
Scots of Laurinburg. In that bat
tie, which the locals should have
won by at least three touch
downs, they were fortunate in
coming out On top.
The Burgaw eleven, the first
after seven years of athletic fam
inc in the Fender county seat,
is coached by Paul L. Powell,
former Whiteville coach, and one
of the greatest ever to be here, is
green, inexperienced, and light.
According to Powell himself, his
boys shouldn't give Brinkley's
Pack too much trouble, but the
Whiteville tutor is. not taking
any chances, knowing that the
ex-Pack coach is very hard to
down. Powell, a former honor
able mention for All-American
from West Virginia Wesleyan,
said that all he could really
promise from his fine bunch of
boys was a real scrap for the
Wolfpack.
The probable lineups for the
Farmers Day fracas are as fol-
lows:

Embargo on Exports
To Russia Proposed
By Weiche| in House
BY the Associoted Press

An outright embargo on all eX-
ports from the United States to Rus
sia was proposed yesterday by Rep
resentative Weichel. Republican, of
Ohioi, as "a last resort if necessary
to stop supplying potential enemy
Mr.. Weichel is chairman of the
House Merchant Marine Committee
now investigating Soviet use of
American-built ships.
while the President now has the
power, under export control laws, to
curb the sending of supplies to Rus
sia, he does not seem to be over
anxious to use it," Mr.. Weichel told
reporter.
Information obtained by the COM
mittee, Mr.. Weichel said, shows that
exports of such supplies as farm
equipment and industrial machinery
continue to leave this country for
Russia in large numbers.
Unless this is stopped and
stopped quickly" he said, Il shall
ask my committee to approve legis-
lation that would prohibit any ship
from leaving United States ports
with supplies for Russia or Russian
dominated nations"
This can be done, Mr.. Weichel
said, simply by making it illegal for
customs officials to issue the neces-
sary clearance papers without which
no ship can sail from an American
port.
Mr.. Weichel said he prefers a less
drastic approach to the problem "but
something must be DONE"
1T just doesn't make sense for us
to spend millions and billions OF
dollars to halt the spread of Com
munism in Western Europe and at
the same time aid Communism by
shipping supplies to Russia" he said.
Mr.. Weichel said preliminary
investigation disclosed that numer-
Gus Americanbuilt vessels, many of
them Government Wned and
transferred to the Soviet under
Lend-Lease, ARE plying the seas
under Russian names and under
the Russian flag"
These ships used to fly the
American flag under such good old
names as the Iowan, the Dakotan,
the Texas, the Vermont, the Maine,

as the Stalingrad, the Leningrad

Prompt action on our part" the
committee said, will result in speed

earlier date than would otherwise
be possible"
1t added: THE need for such
action constitutes one more example
