1t was only a few years ago
at Amarillo, Texas, that the team
had to live in its Pullman cars
several days because all available
space in the towns one hotel
had been taken over by Shrin-
ers convention. The Pullmans
were parked out in the yard,
100 yards or so from the station,
and one unfortunate sports
writer's feet we're so badly
bruised from jumping off the car
to the roadbed he couldn't
dance for weeks.
1t was here, with the ther-
mometer pushing 100, that Gene
Pepper looked out of his window
and spie a cool-looking, empty
box car on a neighboring track.
Pepper took his pillow and sheet,
and in the soft Texas moonlight
took up residence in the last of
a 13-car string. Next morning
IL cars had been hauled away,
but Gene was left sleeping bliss

that, of course, was in the good

At Rockville the squad will be

If Coach Kuharich doesn't alter

Some training trips were dizzy
junkets, but none held quite as
much promise as the one APP
preaching, which will wind UP in
"a two-week stay at that new
motel near Rockville, which the
press, radio and TV corps toured
yesterday. The itinerary is one
to excite even the interest of
such a veteran traveller as George
Marshall, who knows every rail-
road timetable, every donkey
trail by heart.
This year the Redskins will
train again at Occidental Col
lege, a Presbyterian institution
in Los Angeles; live at Sonoma
Mission Inn near San Francisco;
at Little Rock, Ark, they will eat
at Hanks Doghouse; at Wins
ton-Salem dine at a Baptist Hos
pital cafeteria managed by a
Catholic. and round out the pre-
season work at one of the plush
est roadside bivouacs in the
country.
One got the idea yesterday,
in looking over the Rockville
plant in which Sam Fig and
John McKeever have joint in
terest, that the Redskins will be
transported to and from their
specially-built practice field on
private pink clouds, lunch on
pheasant under glass and cham
payne, and MUNICH four-pound
f1let mignons for dinner. 1t would
be quite a life, if Coach Joe
Kuharich didn't have ether

Elida turned the script upside down
Tuesday night as they raced to an
1858 rout of Bluffton' S0-point-a-game
Pirates.
Only in the first two minutes of the
first quarter when the Pirates forked
to a quick 60 lead did it resemble
basketball game AT this point the
determined Bulldogs, who consistently
out-rebounded the taller Pirates, took
over and moved to a 20-15 lead at the
end of the first quarer.
A second period drive, which more
than doubled the Pirate tallies, pushed
the Bulldogs to an insurmountable
1928 halftime lead. Bluffton was
limited to four goals in the second
quarter while the Elida crew, which
missed only three free throws in the
first three quarters, took advantage
of several Bluffton fouls in putting the
Pirates practically out of the ball
game.
Aided by some good shooting and
rebounding by tall Ron Geiser, who
entered the game late in the first half,
Bluffton put together strong third
quarter, outscoring the home club
1911. Early in the. fourth period the
gap was narrowed to ten points but
the Bulldogs called on their foul
shooting ability to pull away easily
and wrap the game up.
The Elida attack showed remark
able balance with one man scoring
Is points, two more showed IT. while
the other two starters picked up Is

SportSman's Club Provides Grains
For Annual Song Bird Feeding Program

With the arrival Sunday of the
first heavy snowfall of the year, To-
cal residents were invited by the
Bluffton Community Soortsmens S
club to join them in their annual win
ter bird feeding program.
AS has been the custom of the
club for a number of years, a con-
tainer of mixed grains is kept in the
Bluffton News office, and residents
of the community are invited to pick
it up without cost for feeding song
birds in their respective neighbor-
hoods.
In times when the ground is froz-
en- solid or when blanket of snow
and ice makes it impossible to get
to the earth, the feathered creatures
find it increasingly difficult to find
food.
Many Bluffton persons have es-
tablished feeding stations at their
homes and enjoy watching the great
variety of winter birds partake Of
the food they place there for them.
Feeding stations need not be elabor-
ate. Any raised platform or simple
board tackled on a window ledge or
tree will serve the purpose. Grain
should be placed in something to
prevent it being spilled on the ground
too easily. Suet nailed on tree or
in a container made of chicken wire
is a real delicacy for the birds.
This week Leland Basinger of the
Master Feed Mill filled the grain con-
tainer at The News office. A number
of bird feeders have already been in
for a supply.
To the mixed grains ordered by
the Sportsmen's club, it is helpful to
add sunflower seeds raised by many
local gardeners for this special pur-
pose. Dried crumbs from the bread
box or cookie jar are also recon-
mended. In fact, the birds will eat
just about anything left from the
table.
