the newly formed league the Rock
cts, 5-Potatoes, and the Olympics e.
merged victorious and are leading in
the standings.
The Rockets defeated the Bugs by
45-17 count-but the second game

time by the score of 27-25. The Ti-

Fox Hunt Planned at Roundhead

Fox Hunt Planned at Roundhead
Bluffton area hunters are invited
to participate in a fox hunt planned
this Saturday, at Roundhead. The
hunt will get under way at 900 a. m.
The drive will consist of several
hunts with roundups of several small
areas. Hunters will be divided into
four groups for closing in on each
section. Captains will command each
side.
All hunters will be permitted to
carry shotguns, but rifles and dogs
are banned. After an area is en-
circled, every hunter will have the
privilege of firing providing the fox
is within range and none of the other
hunters are in line of fire. Safety will
be stressed at all times.
MONDAY lunch will be served by
the Roundhead Parent Teachers AS
sociation.
Fox hunts in the above named area
are becoming increasingly popular
and there is usually a good sized del
egation on hand from this communi-
ty participating in the fun.
The drives are usually successful
and at the last one held week ago,
8 foxes We're shot and several others
escaped through the lines. To prevent
the latter, or at least cut down on
the chance of escape, the roundups
will be concentrated on smaller areas.
Attempting to encircle too large an
area at one time gives the fox too
good chance to break through the
line or outsmart the hunter by hid
ing until he has passed by.
Several hundred men participate in
the drives held every other Saturday
as a rule.
Last year on one of the drives 8
foxes were killed. A week ago one
Bluffton hunter had a chance to fire
at close range when a fox broke
cover, but was overcome by excite

this year, and prior to the time
Bluffton stopped Lima St. Rose, So
to At, st. Johns had been the only
team to defeat the Cardinals.
On the basis of previous per-
formance, st. Johns likely will prove
the hardest opponent to conquer,

the Pirates will be playing the team
in Lima South's bandbox gymnas-
ium.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Two big

the first time in their careers in a
100000 winner-take-al match race
In the richest match event in turf

with Washington and had no place
IN the AT plans. After seeing Nuss-
banner skip 81 yards for a touch
down on reverse play against the
Skins, Marshall was quite willing
TO make the deal.
There is nothing fiashy about
Farmer. He is good kicker, though
not a great one, a fair passer and
an excellent runner. He isn't anv
speed demon, but he hustles. He
loves the game and Turk says the
player has reputation for getting
better as the game gets rougher
washington can use a back of that
type. Edwards thought Farmer had
some experience, as a T-forma lion
quarterback. Tom handled himself
nicely in the slot and it was quite
jolt to the Tribes chief of staff
to discover it was his first shot
at the job. AS a matter of record
he spent most of last year riding

RuthstrOm a Giant.
RuthStrom is big, rangy guy
who won't do the club any harm
at fullback. He stands feet 4,
rather strung out for position
where most coaches like to see a
bull-necked, broad -chested indi-
vidual with knees like cocoanuts
that can withstand the bruising
pounding of the line. Ruthstrom
had knee trouble with the Rams.
but underwent an operation that
may give him a new lease on life.
He has fierce competition from
men like Jack jenkins, Sal Rosato
and Bill Gold.
Nussbaumer appears more like a
kid playing hockey from school than
halfback threat. He walks around
with a starry look in his eyes, al
most afraid to believe the quarter
back Is jamming the ball into his
midritf and telling him to skidaddle
with it. Lambeau restricted him to
the role of a blocking back and
Nussbaumer didn't get chance to
prove his true value. He acts like
a guy just released from Jail and
it's our guess you'll be seeing lot
of him this autumn.
