September bowling off the stage
and here comes October, the
name signifying eight-being the
eighth month of the year on the old
Roman calendar-but things have
speeded up lot since that time and
we've streamlined the calendar, like
everything else and given two extra
months a priority-bet the old Ro-
mans never heard of priority-so
now October is the tenth month -.
and with October comes the Ottawa
fair, opening Wednesday of next
week, always a big fall event and
this year it promises to be bigger
and better than ever farmers
busy sowing wheat-acreage cur
tailed under the government control
but the boys are planning to use

and speaking of football, the high
school Pirates did it again last Fri
day night when they upset the ap-
plecart and trounced Ada-just as
they did a year ago-and ready to
take on Pandora next Friday night
:. all of which has famed football
enthusiasm here - maybe Bluffton
hasn't much in the way of replace
ments, but Coach Lowry's iron men
on the first string are really play
ing headsup ball.
When we mentioned English wal
nuts in these notes last week we
knew of only one tree-Mrs. Elmer
OILERS on Spring street-however,
there are two more at Harold Koch's
on South Main street, having been
planted about 80 years ago by the
late John Fett, Bluffton hardware
merchant, who lived there at that
time. A semi-tropical tree, the eli
mate here usually is unfavorable
for producing a crop. However, the
fact that the trees are bearing we'll
this fall is believed to be due to last
winters mild weather together with
an unusually long growing season
this summer and plenty of moisture.
And speaking of the unusual crops
this fall there's the 31-pound water
melon that grew on a vine which
sprung up as a volunteer in the
garden of Paul Stauffer on West
kibler street. The seed, apparently
dropped accidentally in the garden
last fall successfully weathered
the winter and produced two
average size melons besides the 81
pound jumbo. A melon-cutting the
other day provided the Stauffer
family with a feast besides gener-
Gus portions distributed throughout
the neighborhood.
That accident which occurred on
South Main street Monday afternoon
when doing motorist crashed into
a parked car points up a definite
hazard of parking cars along the
street, especially in the residence
sections beyond the traffic lights
which is habitually used as a speed
way by motorists on Route 25. One
car parked all night on the street
was demolished by a truck in an
early morning crash last summer.
Monday afternoons smashup did
considerable body damage to both
cars. Moral: If you park beyond

| Death of Isaac Geiger who sue
cumbed to heart attack while at
tending football game in Mime
apolis, Saturday, brought lot of
reminiscing from older Blutfton sport
followers. High school athletic
coach and principal here some forty
years ago, he exerted profound in
fluence on athletics which was de-
veloping at that time as an organ
| lied interscholastic sport.
A versatile athlete himself and a
keen analyst he made the most of
the schools athletic resources and
became an outstanding coach in the
early days when Bluffton made a
name for itself as producing hard
| hitting teams. Moreover, he instilled
into his proteges high sense of
honor and personal responsibility on
and off the playing field.
Geiger got his early training in
football and basketball as student
at Ohio Northern at Ada, early in
the 1900's. Those were the days
when doughty Northern grid teams,
with Geiger in the left halfback po-
sition, always hot spot, took on
such formidable opponents as Mich
igan and other teams which later
formed the Big Ten. His devotion
to clean sport persisted thruout his
later years and his passing was in
setting such as he, himself might
have wished.
Those mallard ducks at the Water
works quarry-52 of them-will be
the piece de resistance of the an
| nual fall duck dinner of the Sports
mems club. The mallards have in
, creased from a few wild ducks
which made their home here and
became domesticated several years
ago. As the flock grew and became
more accustomed to their new life,
they began to venture from the con-
fines of the quarry and last summer
began raiding nearby gardens and
garbage pals. They are frequently
seen parading across Harmon road,
single file, in stately procession en-
route on a neighborhood backyard
foray. The ducks are, regularly fed
rations of corn furnished by the
Sportsmen's club with Edgar Root,
club president in charge of the feed
ing program.
If you've seen a new kind of in
sect lately, perhaps it's praying
mantis-several have been found
here during the past few weeks. Us
ually found in the southern states,
how they happened here was some
thing of mystery until it became
known that a Spencerville florist i'm
ported several nests of mantis eggs
about three years ago. From this
he developed sizable colony for the
purpose of reducing harmful insects
upon which the mantis feeds. Some
of them are believed to have mi
grated from Spenceryille to other
nearby areas.
| The mantis is remarkable for its
grotesque form, holding it's front
legs in a manner suggesting hands
folded in prayer from which it de-
rives its name. They prey upon
other insects and are entirely harm
less-in fact they would be handy
to have around the garden.

|Interchurch Group
Offers lis Blood 10
Northern Hospitals

Interchurch Fellowship of
Washington officials said today
they hoped similar groups in
Philadelphia or New York can
send a mobile unit here to accept
blood donations refused by the
District Red Cross when offered
on a non segregated basis.
The Fellowship group. consis-
ting of members of many races
and creeds, informed the Red
Cross that in observance of
Brotherhood Week approximately
100 members would contribute to
the Red Cross bloodbank on con-
dition that the blood he received
without designation as to origin.
Nat C.. Wilson, manager of the
District Red Cross, explained today
that the offer was refused because
of a policy of giving doctors and
patients a right of choice" in
receiving blood.
Offer Turned Down.
"The policy of the Washington
Regional Blood Center is to hold
blood under such conditions as to
give the doctor and the patient
the right of choice" he said. "The
offer of supplying blood donors
made by the Interchurch Fellow
ship was on the condition that this
policy be changed. Because OF the
condition stipulated, the offer was
declined"
Glenn D. Everett, Fellowship
vice president, said the organiza-
ton has communicated with aftlll-
ated groups and hospitals in New
York and Philadelphia Ito see if
we can work out some plan where
by these voluntary donations can
be used elsewhere" The groups
in those cities probably can ar
range to have a bloodmobile unit
sent to Washington for that pur-
pose, he explained.
This offer of group donation
of blood is still open to any hos
pital or service agency that will
accept it on a nonsegregated
basis" Mr.. Everett added.

Bethesda and Blair, two OF the

night at the University Of Mary

The Barons will be out for re-

game in IA starts this season and
that to Blair by single point two
weeks ago. Blair, meanwhile, has
dropped only two decisions In 13
games-an overtime tilt to Con-
zaga and a six-point setback by
Washington-Lee.
Both teams won yesterday. Bethesda
came from behind to edge Roosevelt,

burg, 47-35. Bethesda went ahead
early but lost the lead in the fourth
period. With two minutes to 60 Fred

This will be an historic boxing
match tomorrow night at College
Park, where Maryland trades
punches with Georgetown, OH
cially, that is, for the first time
in history. Time was when raid
ing parties from the schools
climbed walls to redecorate rival
dormatories and swing a few
friendly punches, but that fool
ishnesS ended with the football
series. Henceforth, all black eyes
are official.

cuse Saturday night, of course,

will be the Cardinals first ap-
. pearance and, with the Orange
doped to win. the Eastern inter-
collegiate championship, action
should be fast and furious. 1t is
an intersectional rivalry. while
the business at College Park Is
strictly homegrown, but you
can't go wrong on either.
Coach Heinie Miller of Mary
land refereed a number of bouts
involving Georgetown's Coach
Marty Gallagher a couple of
decades ago. He was third man
in the ring at Baltimore the
night Marty fought Ad Warren
later coach at Duke-for the
South Atlantic amateur IT'S
pound championship. When Gal
lagher turned pro he boxed one

NOTED by Miller at the old Ber-
wyn. Md. arena.
When boxing was legalized in
the District it was Secretary
Miller of the Boxing Commission
who handed Gallagher his first
contestants license, and when
Marty decided to quit and be q
referee Miller signed his Journey
mans card. So the glare in their
eyes as they peer at one another
across the ring tomorrow night
will be strictly professional, but
all feuds are of when the last
bell rings.
But there is more to this than
the Gallagher Miller relation
ship. Andy Quatrocchi, for ex-
ample, is missing from the Terps'
lineup this season. The clever
little fellow. undefeated in dual
competitor last season, simply
upped and quit. Why?
''He said there was too much
pressure on him." Miller told us.
TOO much pressure because he
thought everybody expected him
TO win every bout by knockout.
He didn't come out for the team.
Instead he's a candidate for the
220-yard dash and broad jump on
the track team"

Louis Rates Ray No. {
Among Contenders
After I'd Meeting
BY the Assoeioisd Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. O.
Joe Louis took his second look at
Elmer (violent) Ray as an exhi-
bition opponent and today the
heavyweight champion put Ray
down as sixth In his list OF logical
contenders.
Louis figured Ezzard Charles,
who's been battling as light heavy,
is the top-ranking challenger. He
put Lee Savold in second place.
Savold was No. and Jersey Joe
Walcott No. 3, the champ said,
only because he has not met Savold
and already has beat Walcott twice.
Thus the champions idea of a
suitable opponent differs some from
the National Boxing Associations s
latest ratings. In December the
NBA called no fighter a contender
but put Walcott first in the list Of
outstanding boxers.
It's only other rated heavyweight
was Ezzard Charles.
Joe Baksi came next in Louis
ratings and then Gus Lesnevich,
also ahead Of Ray. Louis didn't
make any ratings beyound sixth.
Rays crouching, bobbing style
didn't give Louis anywhere near
the trouble here last night 1t did
in their six-rounder at Miami last
week. Thus the man who has held
the title II years and successfully
defended it Is times continued his
habit of improving against an op-
ponent the second time.
He staggered Ray, 200-pounder
from Hastings, Fla, with a lightning
right in the third of four rounds
Ray went against the ropes but not
to the canvas and recovered after
a few seconds.
In the main bout last night, a
1O-rounder, Toby Reid, 1853, OF
Jacksonville decisioned Dave Mere
dith, 159, of Macon, Ga.
Tonight Louis concludes his six
bout Florida tour with four

Graves, 210-pound Negro fighter,

tion bout here Monday night. A

Signing of Bednorik by Eagles
PIedses Ace Who Wants to Quit

And since EWart and Head Coach
Earl Greasy Neale term Lindskog
the best offensive center in the
league, it's not an easy job to find
q successor.
Neale recently told Lindskog not
to be too exhuberant over Bed
narik joining the club.
"It will take you at least a sea-
son to break the boy in as a first
class Information center" Neale
said. He added he planned to use
Bednarik, the Eagles first draft
choice, on both offense and de-
fense.
Bednarik became a center quite
by accident. In high school he
wanted to be q fullback.
Can you play center?" the coach
asked him.
II don't know" Chuck answered.
IT never tried"
The coach said, swell try"
Chuck did and as Neale put it.,
"it wasn't q bad idea"
