Athletics as an organized part of
Bluffton college has come into being
only after many years of patient
effort, dating back to the days of
1913, when four men started what
today is represented by full colleg-
iage athletic schedule, and a soon to
be completed gymnasium.
In that year G. A. Lehman, Hugh
Ridge, II. W. Berky, and DR.. J. S.
Steiner having long shared an in
terest in athletics, laid the ground
work for the first athletic program.
A football team was organized in
the fall of 1913, although the team
was SO small that one side of the
line was forced to scrimmage against
the other. With this group of green
candidates Bluffton played Witten-
berg, 0. N. u, Heidelberg, Findlay
and Wherefore, emerging with a
record of wins and 5 losses. The
same year DR.. Steiner, practicing
physician of Bluffton, organized the
first basketball squad, and held prac-
tice sessions in an abandoned skating
rink in the top of local feed barn.
A telling blow was dealt the in
FAINT athletic department, when in the
second year of its existence, the
board of trustees abolished football.
To overcome this, tennis team was
organized, and with the record of the
basketball team, managed to score an
overall department record of .667 and
1000 respectively.
Basketball increased in popularity
on the B. c. campus to such an ex-
tent that on election day of 1916 the
entire student body was dismissed
from classes, and work was begun on
the "barn" as it has been known;
through the efforts of the students
and faculty Bluffton College built a
gym that was to stand as one of the
finest in northwestern Ohio for a
good many years.
1917 found the athletic program
again on the climb, when Bluffton to-
gether with Bowling Green, Defiance,
Findlay, and later Toledo University
banned together to form the North
west Ohio Conference. At this point
Bluffton was participating in all
sports except football.
During the pre-World War |
period, the department continued to
grow, and soon a vegetable garden

planned. No college classes are
scheduled and the entire campus
will observe "open house" for Swiss
visitors.
Beginning at 10 a. m. the Swiss
exhibit of antiques, costumes, books,
letters, needlework, carvings, fur
niture, etc., will be opened in the
college library. This will be gen
eral "get acquainted" period in
charge of G. T. Soldner and Harvey
Gratz of Bluffton.
A basket dinner will follow at II
o'clock on the baseball greens, when
Swiss folk are asked, "Bringet
Korbli nit Kuchli, wekli, schnitz,
und Fleish."
NATIVE SWISS PROGRAM
At 1870 until $3.50 the Swiss pro-
gram in the chapel will include all
types of typical Swiss amusement
and antics. From the Bluffton area
will be either music by Mrs. Fred
Hahn, a vocal solo by Jeannet Alt
haus, and talks on Swiss heritage
by Wilhelm Amstutz and Hiram
Kohl.
The Pandora areas contributions
will consist of playing of bones by
Arthur Badertscher and music in
Swiss by the Suter Sisters. Wayne
County will provide a Swiss Male
quartet and other music to be plan
ned. Berne's contributions are ac-
Gordon solos by Chris Zeurcher and
two original skits in Swiss by Mrs.
Martha (Baumgartner) Habegger
Other added attractions such as
yodeling, cow bells, and singing in
the Swiss tongue will highlight the
afternoons program.
To climax the days events 200
pound cheese has been ordered which
will be cut by a young girl in typi-
cal Swiss costume. Later it will be
auctioned for sale by a well-known
auctioneer.
The entire Swiss celebration was

Bluffton; Mrs. N. N. Soldner, Pan
dora; and Arthur Schumacher, OF
tawa. H. w. Berky of Bluffton is

Since Bluffton College was chiefly
organized by the combined efforts of
the Swiss people in the Bluffton-

it was deemed fitting gesture on

trace their ancestry back to Switzer-
land are invited to attend this spe-

heirs. The heirs, who will be represented at the sale, will have to bid for the articles they want, as the public will.
 The Erskine home is built on the same plot of land and near the same spot chosen by Baranof when he founded Ko- diak over 150 years ago. For several decades it was the cen ter of social life in Kodiak.
 When MT. Erskine sold his real estate to Donnelley and Acheson he reserved the right to occupy his home as long as he lived. Recently the estate has been renting it. After the sale of personal effects, the house will be turned back, presumably about January l, Crutcher said.
 MT. Erskine's property at the time of his death consisted of the proceeds of the sale of the store and wharf to Donnel- ley and Acheson, and of the sale of the cannery site owned by Whiz- -Halferty, the Erskine subdivision, the Clarke Home stead, and his personal effects.
 His last will directed the ex- ecutor to sell all the property for cash within ,15 years from date of death. The estate was valued at several hundred thousand dollars by an inven- tory filed with the probate court in Kodiak.
 The heirs are his widow, his two children. and a grandson.

 Meanwhile the hospitalman received instructions by radio on how to proceed in treating the injured man.
 At noon on the 10th the co plane landed alongside the Storis took the injured man aboard, and flew to Kodiak.

Strong winds, with gusts reaching over 60 knots, col lapsed a partly finished quar- ter inch thick steel gasoline storage tank of the Union Oil Company at the city dock, and seriously injured a workman when a tool shack used on the project blew away early We'd nesday.
 Robert Adams, 45, Seattle boilermaker. was seriously in jured when the strong winds whipped the wooden tool shack over the side of a 50 foot bluff behind the dock.
 Roy Denver of Seattle, fel- low workman of Adams, was also in the shack when the wind hit. He dropped to the floor but was not carried over the bluff with the rest of the building.
 The roof and floor of the
  shack remained on top of the bluff.
 Adams was taken to the hospital and received treat ment from Dr. A. Holmes Johnson. He suffered multiple fractures of the leg and se- were bruises and cuts.
 At Dr. Johnson's request the navy flew Adams to the Virginia Mason Hospital in Seattle for special medical treatment later in the week.
 E. l.. Betty, one of the nine- man crew attempting to se- cure the tool shack by guys. injured his foot when the wind whipped the sides away. 
 The nearly finished Union Oil tank is believed to have collasped around 1::30 am Wed- nesday. It was one of six now under construction for the

company by MOrris-Knudsen Go.
 Butch Perron, Los Angeles, who holds a sub-contract for construction of the tanks, said it was 36 feet night, 45 feet in diameter and when finished would hold 11,90O barrels of oil.
 Only the sides of the tanks were up and the top stlll open when it collapsed. It is be- lieved the wind sucked the air from the tank, and outside pressure caused it to fall, l. H. Morse, Seattle, foreman of the job, said.
 During the blow a full 50 gallon tank of oil was blown from a rack and over the bluff, Morse said. Perron and his crew have completed three of the six oil storage tanks and they were not damaged in the storm.
 Work was resumed later in the week, on the remaining three when the storm had blown itself out.
 The collapsed tank will again be erected and will be 42 feet high when completed Before it collapsed, wind guys had been attached to it at four different points and the weld CTS had finished the girtb seams on the inside.
 Workmen from the Kodiak Ice and Cold Storage Co building crew helped pull Adams from the wrecked shack and he was rushed to the hospital in a truck owned by Isaac Hubley.
 Al Long, foreman of the storage company crew. later called his men off work until the wind abated.
