Harmon Field Grid
improvements Out
For Year Or Two

Present plans of the board of edu-
cation do not include resodding the
football field at Harmon Field it was
learned recently from Supt. A. B.
Murray.
Various reasons have been given
for the delay of the use of the dirt
that was hauled to the west end of
Harmon Field from the elementary
school ground. The most exacting one
is the fact that the estimated cost of
the proposal to put crown on the
field for better drainage is between
$4,000 and $4,000.
Also some of the board members do
not feel that the high school and col
lege football schedules should be cur
tailed while the work is being done.
1t is said that the work of putting
a crown on the playing field and get
ting good stand of grass on it would
take at least two or three months.
Less time than this would permit too
much washing away in heavy rains.
Board members have decided the
project would not be scheduled for
another year or two.
Condition of the playing field
should be much improved for this
fall because of the fact that no extern
sive softball program is planned in
Bluffton this summer.

Ada Grid Mentor
To Quit Coaching

Lowell Reese, who guided the Ada
high school Bulldogs to an undefeat-
ed grid season in 1855, has resigned
his coaching position at the school
it was announced last week.
Reese, graduate of Ada high and
Ohio Northern university, took over
the head coaching job at Ada in
1863. His team won three, lost four
and tied one in 1853. The Bulldogs
won seven and lost one in 1854.
A coach at West Unity and Forest
before taking the Ada job, Reese
said he will continue as teacher
at the school.

Home Runs Feature
Beavers 5-3 Loss
To Defiance Sat.

Carl Erwin established new single
season home run record for Bluffton
college at Defiance Saturday but it
was not enough as the Beavers
dropped a 5-3 decision to the Yellow
jackets in the final Mid-Ohio League
contest for both teams.
Erwin blasted his fourth round
tripper of the campaign in the top of
the seventh to put the Beavers ahead
3-2 in tight pitchers battle between
Jim Bishop and Rollins of Defiance.
This lead was short-lived as Rollins
stepped to the plate in the bottom of
the home teams eighth and blasted a
four bagger to tie the score. After
another man reached base on single,
Ladd duplicated Rollins feat and that
was the ball game.
The Beavers collected six hits off
Rollins offerings while the Yellow
jackets nicked Bishop for one more.
Each team committed one error in the
contest.
The loss gave the Beavers a record
of seven wins and nine losses for the
season. They finished the MO season
with a mark of five wins and seven
defeats.

posed to curb teams with exceptional
ly tall men from deliberately missing
foul shots.
The use of 12-foot foul lanes, used
by colleges last season, will not be
adopted until the 1888 season, un-
less states desire to do so this season.
The new lane will not be used this
season in order to permit schools
time to revise their courts.
The Ohio High School Athletic As
sociation ruled recently that the wider
foul lane would not be put into effect
in the state until the 1957-58 season.
1t was pointed out that at that time
most schools will completely revamp
the surfaces of their playing courts.

One revision will be to make the
foul line two inches wide to replace
the present one-inch line. This change
was adopted to better distinguish the
boundaries to the three-second rule
and to make all lines on a court uni
form.
The V and H on the opposite side
of the free throw lane will be elimi-
mated. The new ruling states that
only the defensive team may place
players under the basket. This is sup
