Bluffton High Eleven To Play At
Pandora; College Travels To Findlay

Bluffton High and Bluffton College
football teams will play out of town
this week, but both will appear in
games so near home that interested
followers of the two outfits will not
have far to go to see their favorites
in action.
Unfortunately for those who want
to follow the teams, both will play
on Friday-with the Pirates tangling
with Pandora at that place, and the
Beavers meeting Findlay college at
Findlay.
Except for the traditional aspects
of the rivalry of long-standing be-
tween Bluffton and Pandora, the Pi-
rates should easily annex their sec
ond victory of the season in the Fri
day contest.
Pandora, a strong competitor for
nearly a decade, has experienced a
lot of difficulty in getting started
this season. In their first two tits,
the Fleetwings were decively beaten
by Spencerville and Elida, and un-
less the old enmity between Bluffton
| and Pandora sets the Fleetwing team
on edge, the Pirates should have
little trouble in scoring an easy vic
tory.
1t will be a different story for the
Beavers in their start against Find
lay college on the same night, for
the Oilers, as usual, loom as one of
the better teams in the Ohio con-
ference.
Just how good Findlay will be this
fall, was aptly demonstrated last
week when Akron university was

High School Eleven Springs Upset
In Defeating Ada BY 14-7 Score

Re-bounding from their defeat OF
the previous week against Kenton,
Bluffton High Pirates pulled a sur
prise from the hat by downing fa-
vored Ada, Ii to 7, in tilt on the
Ada gridiron last Friday night.
It was a scoreless frst-half in the
contest, as Buttons small, but
plucky eleven put up an amazing
defensive fight against the veteran
Ada outfit.
The Pirates offensive attack, how
ever, only sputtered weakly in the
first two quarters, and there was no
indication of the fireworks that were
to come later in the contest when the
Lowery team came from behind to
clinch the victory.
The Ada team broke the scoring
ice about midway through the third
period, when Umphries ran a punt
back 25 yards; Bluffton was penal
lied Is yards to its own 12-yard line,
and Joe Baughman bucked over from
the one-yard marker. A pass net
