Mast Ends 10 Years With .635 Mark,
Five League Football Champions

Ken Mast concluded his tenth
season as Bluffton college foot
ball coach last Saturday with one
of the best winning records of
Ohio football coaches.
The Beavers have posted a .635
mark under Mast, including 20
wins in their last Sc games.
Johnny Pont (MiamD, Doyt Per-
ry Bowling Green), Paul Hoer-
neman CHeidelberg) and Woody
Hayes, with solid recruiting staffs
behind them, have done better.
Four undisputed Mid Ohio
league football champions and a
tie for a fifth have come to the
Beavers since Mast took over af-
ter his graduation from Heidel-
berg in 1850. They tied Findlay
in 1851, the first championship
&c ever posted in the MOL. AT
ter a four year drought they en-
tered an unprecedented four year
unbeaten sweep through the
league, doubling the best pre-
vious winning streak by a league
team.
Only twice have Mast's teams

Overconfident Bluffton played
their shabbiest game of the sea-
son as they fell before Leipsic
in a tooth-rattling 12-6 upset last
Friday night.
An improbable so yard touch
down run by Dick Manages in the
middle of the third period gave
the Vikings their winning score
and a rich reward for their best
game of the season.
Manges moved over his left
tackle and broke into the open
at the 20. A brush block slowed
down John Soldan just as he was
about to apply the crusher at
midfield and Manges slipped
away from him. He also eluded
a desperate dive by Larry Marsh
all at the 10 and crippled into
the end zone for the victory.
Lost opportunities in the Sec
ond period exploded the Pirates
chances for a comeback victory.
Leipsic had struck first, then
early in the second quarter.
A volcanic drive gave Bluffton
their score as they covered 65
yards in just six plays. Marsh

Manchester Takes 27-l3Upset
AS Nine Beavers Ride Bench

BC drove very quickly to the
Manchester two foot line in the
first period, then spoiled their
chances with a tumble.
Unable to gain, Manchest-
er was faced with the prospect of
kicking from their own end zone
into a stiff breeze. Just before
this play began, the first period
ended and the teams moved to
the far end of the field. The wind
now at his back, the Manchester
punter doomed off a IS yard kick
which put BC in serious hole.
A partly blocked punt minutes
later gave the SpartanS their first
chance and they made the most
of it. The payoff was a 30 yard
pass play from Martin to 6-5 end
Dave Mckinney.
Gambling on a fourth down at
midfield in the last minute of
the first half, the Beavers took
another whipping. A screen pass
intended for Larry Hedden was
intercepted and carried back for
a touchdown when Hedden
slipped and fell while reaching
for the ball.
Marv Mast - certainly not a
cousin after the work he did
against Bluffton continued the
Spartan scoring in the third quar-
ter by rambling 40 yards with a
pitchout. Another Bluffton fun
BILE set up Manchester's fourth
touchdown, with Martin throw
ing the payoff pass.
Trailing 27-O, the Beavers fl
nally punched over a pair of
touchdownS, bringing the game
! back to responsibility. A 30 yard
pass from Spike Berry to Ter
ry Inskeep set up the first score.
Ron Hall punched over from the
one on the following play.

Normally peaceful Manchester
grabbed an unexpected opportun-
ity to upset the powerful Bluff
ton Beavers 27-13 last Saturday,
as nine Beavers rode the bench
for training violations.
The loss broke a five game
winning streak for the Beavers
and gave them a 6-3 record for
the season, their poorest record
since 1855.
Suspended for the final game
by coach Ken Mast after they
had voluntarily confessed break
ing training rules were: Bill
Lape, John Weber, Joe Urich,
Harold Garverick, Art Tuel, Ted
Clemens, John Lehman, Jim
Martin and Payton Black.
All except Martin and Black
were playing regularly on offense
or defense at the end of the year.
Martin, an early season starter,
has been crippled by leg injur-
les.
With only % men dressed for
the game, and many of those in
experienced, the Beavers gave
the game away with their own
mistakes.
Statistically the game went to
Bluffton as they racked up II
first downs to eight for the Spar
tans and nearly doubled the vic
tors in yards gained rushing and
passing.
Absence of Urich and Carver
ick from the linebacker slots was
the telling blow for the Bluffton
defense. Freshman subs moved
into their places were able to

BluftOn Holds
Faint Hopes for
League Crown

Still holding a faint hope for a
Northwest conference champion
ship, the Bluffton Pirates close
their season Friday night at Har-
mon field against the Forest
Rangers.
The highly improbable situa-
ton which could vault the Pi-
rates into the crown would find
them defeating Forest while Pan
dora Gilboa upsets Columbus
Grove.
Bluffton, at least if they play
as they did before last week, is
entirely capable of clipping For
est. For Pandora Gilboa to
beat Columbus Grove is entirely
another matter. This would re-
quire a volcanic eruption under
the Columbus Grove school and
a sudden act of the football
gods. One seems as likely to hap
pen as the other.
Championship or not, the Pi-
rates need the victory over the
Rangers to retain the respect
which they fought so hard to earn
earlier this year.
Their record has faded to 5-3
All of these defeats have beer

back-to-back runs of 28 and 81
yards to move the ball to the
three, where Marshall bucked in
for the tying score.
Twice more they threatened in
the first half, getting first downs
on the nine and the six. A Ray
Ruggley tumble was recovered
by Manges, halting the first
drive. Leipsic held for downs
the second time, stopping George
Burkholder on the one for the
clincher.
The Pirates pushed again in
the third period, getting consid-
