The Bluffton Pirates battle two
iinxes Friday at Elida = the in
jury jinx and the Elida jinX. II
they can overcome the first they
also stand a good chance of over
coming the second.
Injuries to two top tackles,
Rudy Steiner and Cal Opper-
mann, pose big problems for the
Pirates. Oppermann, who in
jured a knee at Lafayette, is al
most definitely out. Steiner, who
crushed toe in a home accl-
dent, may see some action If he
can be fitted with a satisfactory
shoe.
VINO will fill the holes if neith-
er man can play? This is a prob
lem for substitutes and sopho-
mores who have had little chance

The Bluffton backfield, peril
ously poor in their timing, must
be sharpened up, coach Frank
Osborne said this week. The
backs did a poor job of finding
their holes in the match with Ada
last Friday.
The coach also hopes to work
more passing into the offense.
Getting the eye for an offensive
end spot is husky John Soldan,
the sophomore who has made a
good impression with his defen-
sive play.
The coach had words of praise
for Don Deerhake, Buck Schiffke,
Jim Jordan and Ken Logan, who
stayed in for every minute of ac-
ton against Ada.
The Elida jinx which the Pi-
rates must overcome has taken
every shape and form. Bluffton
has never beaten Elida. The clos
est they came was tie earned
during their championship year
of 1856. ..
Two other times the Bulldogs
have used sucker pass plays late
in the first half to ruin the early
leads built up by the Pirates.
Last year they ran wild In the

the Beavers still rebounded from
humping defeat at Heidelberg
the week before.
They jumped into an early lead
in the first period and bounced
back to take another lead early
in the fourth quarter before the
ForesterS took command.
Power running of the Lake For
est backfield was augmented by
pin-point passing as McClain con-
nected frequently with big Jim
Foster, the transfer from Iowa.
Be coach Ken Mast cited Fos-
ter's play as the real keystone
for the Foresters' victory.
The home club opened the scor-
ing with a grinding drive that
netted them a score on a 10

fullback Ed Young.

Young'S second score came on
one-yard punch late in the third
quarter putting Lake Forest back
in command at 12-7.
Returning to life the Beavers
moved straight through the For
ester defenseS to regain the lead
at 14-12, with Bill Lape, slightly
hobbled but still effective, going
in from the II. Berry kicked the
point to give BC a 14-12 lead
with four minutes to go.
This frail edge was somewhat
less than enough, especially af-
ter Lake Forest hauled Bluffton's S
kickoff back to the midfield

Pletion of the day, a 17-yard
screen pass to Young, then the
young fullback bucked over the
winning score.
Bluffton pushed frantically to
climb back into the game but
one of Berry's passes was inter-
cepted and carried all the way
to the Beaver five yard line.
Seconds later Young bucked over
from the four to put BC com.

Reliable veterans Joe Urict

Larry Hedden led the Beaver
offense, which was kept thor

Bill Goodwin punched one yard
for the games only score mid
way in the fourth period as Ada
defeated Bluffton 80 in a tight
defensive battle last Friday at
Harmon field.
Goodwin'S touchdown climaxed
a 16 play 81 yard drive which
began late in the third period.
It was the only real threat made
by either team all evening.
Bluffton did not move the ball
out of their own half of the field
during the entire second half and
penetrated Ada territory only
twice in the first half.
The Bulldogs made their first
attempt early in the second pc
riod when they made a first down
on the Pirate II. The Pirate line,
led by Rudy Steiner, stiffened
and held them without an inch
of gain for the next four downs.
Neither team threatened again
until Ada mounted their winning
drive late in the third period.
Absence of star quarterback

Bulldogs. Uncertain ball han

burgey hurt them in the first
half and they did not get under
way until sophomore Brad King

the third quarter.
Two Plays Important
Two key plays kept the Ada
drive alive. Dick Wyss ripped off
18 yards and nearly broke away
for touchdown after Ada SEEM
ed to be halted on their own "a.
Only a pounding tackle by Buck
Schiffke, who fought through two
blockerS at midfield, kept WysS
from scoring.
Second key to the touchdown
came when Ada was halted at
the Bluffton 81 with fourth down
and six. John Sabol plugged over
his right tackle, was halted at
the line of scrimmage, then broke
away from two tacklers to move
to a first down on the "a.
This play seemed to break the
Pirates hearts and Ada showed

they did little to hamper the
progress of the 1880 Pirates,

GrOve-Elida Tie
Boosts Pirates
To Top of NWC

Columbus Grove and Elida
fought to a bitter 20-20 tie Fri
day night, boosting the Bluffton
Pirates at least temporarily into
first place in the Northwest con-
ference.
Bluffton's game with Elida to-
morrow evening will go a long
way towards solving the confer
ence riddle for 1859. This remains
as one of three or four critical
league games left on the sched-
ule.
The only other league match
Friday saw Lafayette rough up
once highly regarded Delphos
Jefferson 20-6.
Pandora Gilboa scored one
of their most decisive victories
in years as they pounded Grand
Rapids 800. Spencerville stepped
out of the conference to tie
Waynesfield 6-6 while Bluffton
lost to Ada so.
Forests game with Kenton was
cancelled as illness and injury re-
duced the Ranger squad to a
mere IA men.
The Northwest conference APP
pears to be a defensive league
this year with no club capable of
the high scoring games which
Bluffton and Elida used in tying
for the title last year.
