uncaught, but anglers are still trying
to lure the big fish 10 gaff. Although

Beavers Fail To
ScOreVn Mid-OhiO
Tennis Tournament

Bluffton colleges tennis team won
four first-rounH matches and still
failed to score la point in the Mid
Ohio League tennis matches at Wilm-
ington last Fkday under new scor-
ing methods.
This odd tut I'm of events came about
as Ohio Northern, which copped the
meet with 8 hoints, won four of the
final events ahd Wilmington, which
finished with Ahree points, captured
all the numberA one singles events
and the Beavers Nwere whitewashed.
Under the new Nscoring rules as
set up by the MidOhio officials,
only finals matches counted in the
results, and the Beaver netters came
home from the wb-day meet empty
handed.
Ohio Northern drew four of the
five first-round bybs and the Beavers
by not receiving b bye were forced
to play straight through the two-day
affair. This proved too much for the
Bluffton meters tho were easy vic

Tractor spark plugs need cleaning

LEWIS AND CLARK

Two years ago an attic in st.
Paul produced some interesting
material, evidently documents of
age which had laid unnoticed and
unknown for more than a hundred
years.
1t was found. on examination,
that these were missing parts of
the great Lewis and Clark papers.
These papers were given by
their apparent owner to the Min
nesota Historical Society.
However, the ownership OF the
papers is now in doubt and a
question that will be determined
in the federal courts.
II Is the claim OF the federal
government that these papers are
public documents, belonging to
and under control of the national
government.
The finding OF the papers has
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1954-08-06

added interest to the Lewis and
Clark expeditions.
One of President Jefferson's
aims, more than $50 years ago,
was to establish a trade route
from the Mississippi TO the Pa
cific that would be entirely within
the boundaries OF the United
States. The purpose WAS to divert
the fur trade from the Great
Lakes. where the predomlnating
influences were French or Cana
dian or under the domination Of
the great English fur trading
companies, TO routes that would
be controlled by interests IN the
United States,

ical finds Of the generation.
