Just after the start of the second

running pass to Leland Garmatter
on the IT, who went the rest OF the
way for another six-pointer. Don
Burkholder converted and the score
was 13 to 0.
One of the fiashiest performances
of the evening was that of Bluffton
Halfback Larry Mathewson, who ran
wild on ground gaining sallies most
of the night, to build up a big sta
tistical advantage for the Pirates.

BIuffton High Pirates will be after
their second Western Buckeye league

wide weight advantage.
Last week, Bellefontaine's Chief

against an outfit fighting every min
ute of the time.
Taylor and Bluffton slugged it out
on fairly even terms most of the
time last Saturday night, in a game
played at Marion, Ind, but the Beav-
ers had a slight advantage in the
going, particularly in the latter
stages of the tilt.
Although Bill Gleason has been
lost for the remainder of the season,
the Bluffton backfeld rose to the oc-
casion and put on good running
and passing show to threaten SER
iously in every quarter.
The score came with explosive sud-
denness early in the fourth period,
however, when the Beavers fleet
halfback, Slutz, broke into the open,
after threading his way through the
scrimmage line and the secondary,
to race 60 yards for touchdown.
Particularly pleasing to Coach
Burcky in the tilt was the perform
ance of his second team which took
over in the third quarter in order to
rest the starters, and which more
than held its own throughout the
playing period.
