Beavers Humble Ashland $40 To Win Grown

BeaversSet New Mark With Third
Straight MIDI Ohio Championship

The best backfield in the Mid
land last Saturday, but they
Ohio league finally got to Ash
didn't appear in the uniform of
the Ashland Eagles.
Bluffton colleges Ebert Du-
benion-led offense smashed the
Eagles $40 to clinch Bluffton S
third consecutive Mid-Ohio cham
pionship.
The Beavers haven't been beat
en- in the MOL since 1855. Their
Is game winning streak and
string of three consecutive cham
pionships are both unprecedent-
ed records in the tight six-team
loop.
Preseason predictions by Ash
land officials touting their back
field as "the best in the Mid
Ohio league" failed to bear fruit
as the Eagles won only one
game and finished in a tie for
last place in the MOL.
Four for Dob
Dubenion roared to four touch
downs, two in his first three
carries, as he closed brilliant
four-year career which has
stamped him as the most out.
standing runner ever to appear
in the Mid-Ohio.
Ashland threatened only once
but Don DarbyShire gobbled up
a tumble on the three yard line
to shut off the threat. 1t was the
fifth time this year Bluffton has
shut out their opponents, four in
the MOL.
After the Eagles aroused their
homecoming fans by driving to
the Bluffton IA before they were
halted, Dubenion quickly shut off
the nonsense by going SO yards
on a reverse on Buttons first
play from scrimmage.
Before the first quarter had
ended Dubenion had raced 6S
yards for another touchdown.
Into the Sky
Bluffton took to the airlanes in
the second period, as Jim Berry
tossed two touchdown passes to
Chef Foraker and Joe Urich hit
Dubenion with another. One sue
cessful placekick by Berry gave
Bluffton a 80 lead at halftime.
Dubenion scored again in the
third period, boosting his season
total to 13 touchdowns, as he
wandered in and out over A
yards of Ashland territory. Berry
kicked another extra point to give
Bluffton a $50 lead at the end
of three periods.
Continuing their display of
backfield power the Beavers
scored three times on long
marches during the fourth quar-,
ter.

Pirates Entertain Leipsic Friday
Night in Last Home Game of Season

Riding high after their con-
quest of Columbus Grove last
week, the Bluffton Pirates come
home to their fans for the final
home game of the season Fri
day night against the Leipsic
Vikings.
The Pirates are solid favor
ties over Leipsic, an in-and-out
ball club all season.
The Vikings hold a season rec
ord of 3-4 after they broke a
three game losing streak by pok-
ing Hicksville 2S-6 last week.
This will be Leipsic's second
appearance of the season at Har-
mon field as they played here
in the preview in September.
They tied McComb 6-6 as they
fell apart in the second half of
their game after making a good
start in the first half.
Chuck Burners running has
paced the Leipsic attack but
last Thursday night they unveiled
the passing of Jerry Haughn in
a second half squirt which netted

the Lima Buckeyes 7-6.
The Pirates play again Satur-
day at 1:30 p. m. at the Allen
county fairgrounds against the
Lima Aces. The winner of this
game plays Sunday afternoon for
the championship against the
winner of the Lima Bruins-Lima
Hornets game.
An unsuccessful extra point
try in the last seven seconds OF
the game at Delphos gave the
Pirates their victory after they
held a ten point lead going into
the final period.
BIuffton led 8-6 at halftime af-
ter Tom Herr had passed to Tom
Basinger for a touchdown and
then Herr swept end for the ex-
ira points.
Herr scored the second touch
down early in the second half
when he broke through to block
a punt, caught it in mid-air and
galloped in for the touchdown
Tom Benroth scored what be-
came the two winning points as
he swept end.
Leading 1876 at the start of
the last quarter the Pirates saw
most of the lead evaporate as
they yielded a safety and then
saw the Mohawks strike for
touchdown in the last seven sec

Defiance Chills Bath in Harmon
Field Homecoming for Their Coach

Defiance ruined Bath Town
ships homecoming on Harmon
field last Friday night and at
the same time staged a home
coming celebration for their
coach Pete Schmidt. The final
score was 26-12.
The heavy Defiance line held
Bath in check through most of
the evening and gave Defiance
their first break early in the first
quarter.
A tumble recovery on the II set
Defiance up for their first score
but the Wildcats drove back to
bring the game into a &c tie.
The Defiance mountain gave
quarterback Dave Memmer some
running room and he responded
by whipping 81 yards for the
touchdown which put Defiance

ahead to stay. Memmer scored
the extra points and Defiance
led 14-6 at the end of the
first period.
Defiance scored through he
airwayS late in the second period
when Memmer hit Tom Myers
with a 35 yard pass. Memmer
also closed out the Defiance scor-
ing in the final period when he
hit Tom Daoust for an eight yard
scoring play.
An intercepted pass set up
Baths final touchdown in the
fleeting minutes of the game. AT
ter starting on the Defiance 80
the Wildcats drove home in just
five plays, Jerry Ward sneaking
the last yard for the score.
Defiance is coached by Pete
Schmidt, former Bluffton Pirate
star, who later coached the local
squad for five years. It was their
fourth win against three losses.
1t was Baths fifth defeat in
seven games.

Frail climaxed the other drive
with a short plunge. Berry boot
ed one more extra point in the
final period, bringing the score
to $40.
Bluffton rolled up 451 rushing
and added 153 through the air
as Berry and Urich completed
seven of II passes. The Beavers
