of atomic submarines are VERY
great"
AS improved versions come
along. he told the symposium,
the United States could have
a powerful new weapon In

doomed for obsolescence.
Doubts Reds Have A-Sub
Vice Admiral William @.
Cooper. commander Of the
anti-submarine defense force OF
the Atlantic Fleet. told O news
conference yesterday that the
Russians may be waiting to see
how their new atomic ice
breaker works before they go
ahead with a nuclear subma-
rine construction program.
He said the Navy does not
think the Soviet Union now has
atomic submarines or subma-
rine-based ballistic missiles.

Atlantic commander said that
between 80 and 80 per cent of
the efforts of the Atlantic Fleet
is aimed at the defeat Of the
Russians underwater armada
Of some $50 vessels.
Admiral Wright said he dis
agreed with those experts who
believed any about war would

mates that any war will be Of

Four Main Tasks
According to Admiral Wright,
the United States and NATO
naval forces would have four
main tasks to perform II war

sources, Of Soviet submarine
power by atomic attacks; the
defense Of the free world sea
coasts: the use of naval powers
in the forward areas against
enemy submarines and close-in
protection Of conveys on the
worlds oceans.
Admiral Wright said that the
greatest contribution the United
States had made to the allied
naval combination is q decision
to finance a new anti-subma-
rine research center at La
Spezia. Italy. He said he hoped
that this center. which will
gather scientific personnel from
many countries Of Europe, will
help produce breakthroughs
giving NATO naval forces q

Their fourth straight Mid-Ohio
football title already clinched, the
BlufGton Beavers put their 19
game MOL winning streak on the
block for the last time this year
when they play at Defiance Sat
urday afternoon.
One of the most solid defen-
Sive clubs in the league, the Yel-
low Jackets nave slipped into
second division because of a
faulty offenSe.
Findlay and Ohio Northern hold
one touchdown victories over
them and Ashland squeaked by
with a scrawny three point mar
gin. Their only victory was over
punchless Wilmington.
Ken Hoefel leads the attack
from quarterback, with Ken Bell
harz occasionally throwing some
passes from an end-around play.
If they can mount a solid of
fensive attack they may be able
to move against the Bluffton de-
fense, which is only a shadow of
last years shutout squadron.

derous pitching by Butch Schnel-
le and some incredible calls by
the referees they fought 81 yards
for touchdown.
With the exception of the final
yard, the entire drive was
through the air. Schnelle COM
pleted four passes and had a fifth
ruled complete on a disputed in
reference call.
Bluffton came whistling back
with another touchdown to give
them a 24-S halftime lead. They
pounded out six first downs as
they moved rs yards overland in
just u plays. Marshall scored
from the three and added the
extra points.
Practically punchless in the
first half, the Spencerville Of
fense moved to the rear even
faster in the second half. Schnel-
lie was injured late in the second
quarter and none of the Spen-
cerville backs were effective in
the spread formation they used
all evening.
The lacklustre Spencerville Of
fense seemed to be built around
a single idea, a pass or run op-
ton for the deep man in the
spread. They attempted 28 pas.

40-S last Thursday night for their
fifth win in six games.
Larry Marshall set the tone of
the Bluffton attack when he ran
the kickoff back So yards only
to see the first Bluffton thrust
falter under the blows of two Is
yard penalties.
Spencerville was forced to kick
after three punchless plays and
Marshall pulled this back to their
one, a 3S yard runback. He buck
ed over on the next play and
Ray Ruggley scooted in for the
two point bonus.
The Bearcats backward offense
started on their 80 after the kick
off and managed to turn the ball
over to the Pirates on the 10 yard
line just four plays later. A bad
pass from center on an attempt
ed punt was the final blow.
Ken Logan lunged over in two
plays and Ruggley again scored
the extra points, giving the Pi-
rates a 1910 lead with 6:39 still
to be played in the first period.

plays. Crushing losses suffered
on attempted pass plays ruined
their ground game and they end
ed the evening with 96 yards net
loss from rushing.
Passing Pays
The Bluffton attack showed far
more variety than it has at any
time this season. They gained
229 yards in 50 running plays
and tried a record Is passes, the
most in any game since 1856,
Best of all they hit on nine of
the passes, gaining 160 yards and
setting up two touchdowns.
Closing the night with a flour
ish, the Pirates scored twice
more in the last quarter.
The first score came with
1882 to play when Ken Logan
climaxed an 80 yard drive by
going 10 yards on a reverse for
the score. Mike Diller passed to
George Burkholder for the extra
points. The key play in this drive
was a 81 yard pass from Marsh
all to Burkholder, giving the Pi-
rates a first down on the Is.
Passing again played an inn
portant role in the last drive.
Steve Basinger hit Chuck Baber
for a 13 yard gain and Buck
Schiffke made a good, leaping
grab of a Diller toss good for
80 yards and a first down on the
four. Schiffke also made two
good running catches in the first
half, but these Pirate drives were
cancelled by some strange of
ficiating.
Burkholder burst over from the
four in the last Is seconds and
Ruggley added the last pair of
points as the Pirates hit their
highwater mark of the year.
Kids Games
Jim Jordan was the leader of
the Pirate defense which spent
much of the evening playing tag
with the lonely Spencerville back.
Don Deerhake, who intercepted
two passes, also carried his
share of the load.
The game was wildly expert
mental for the Pirates, with de-
fensive men seein gsome often

crown by freezing out Whining

and Ashland, the only remaining
contenders, eliminated each 9th

Striking hard in the first half,
the Beavers held on during a sec
ond half fought out in miserable
weather. Light rain, a strong
south wind and AZ degree tenn
perature chilled every offensive
attempt both clubs made in the
second half. The Beavers lost
four fumbles in the fourth quar-
ter alone, while the Quakers' on
Iy second half offense was a Sc
ries of wildly inaccurate passes.
Touchdowns resulted from BC'S
first four offensive thrusts, al
though one of the scores was
credited to Wilmington. Jim
Berry put a pitchout directly in
the arms of Quaker end Chuck
Pendleton, who was until then an
innocent bystander, and Pendle-
ton charged So yards for the
score.
Bluffton had preceded this with
two quick touchdowns by Bill
Lape and followed it up with
another score by Lape. With a
sudden and easy 1876 lead early
in the second quarter, the Bea-
vers stepped off the gas and
coasted for the rest of the game.
Alert Jim Benner bounced on
a tumble on the Quaker II on
the second play of the game.
Lape punched the soft Whining

Beavers Step Softly To Whip
Wilmington and CIinch Title

Hedden took turns to cover the
yardage in five simple plays,
with Lape bouncing in again
from the seven.
After the gift touchdown BC
came marching right back to
cover 81 yards in IL plays. Lape
bucked two yards for the touch
down after Weber and Ron Hall
had helped him bring the ball
that far.
Held to one of their lowest
scores in four years of MOL
leadership, the Beavers still COM
pletely dominated the game.
Playing no harder than neces-
sary, they were merely going
through the motions by the time
the frigid fourth quarter started.
Practically every Wilmington
play was launched from a spread
formation but neither Rich Cur
ran nor Mike Vance, who alter
mated at the deep spot, took
much advantage of their meagre
blocking.
They launched one short drive
in the first period but this died
quickly after they crossed the
midfield stripe. The longest gain
of the day was a GA aerial shot
from Curran to Vance on the
last play of the game.
Lape's three touchdowns boost
ed his league total to 30 points,
only one touchdown behind Ohio
Northern's Clyde Quinby, the
leading scorer.

To Add Prestige to u. S. Exhibit

journeys. He is an integral
part Of the Government Of
the United States. For the
President or the second man
to 60 TO foreign countries,
some sort Of mechanism Is
required. There must be a
formal invitation or event OF
enough status TO permit an
invitation. In this case. the
American exhibition is a
natural one. The Russians
were notified that Mr.. Nixon
would be the United States
representative who would Of
ficially dedicate 1t. This not
merely makes 1t possible for
the Russians to set up as
elaborate a program as they
wish-but also gives greater
prestige to the exhibition
which must be giving the
Soviet propagandists some
concern. They already are
beginning to downgrade 1t.
At any rate. the Vice
President already is begin
ming to plan. The jet idea
using one of our newest 100
seat. luxury planes-is known
to be firmly in his mind. 1t
now is up TO the manufac-
turers. Boeing and Douglas
both have such long distance
Jets which should be tested
by midsummer.
The Vice President will go
as one Of the most thorough
ly prepared ENJOYS ever to
represent this country. He
had hoped to go a year ago.
He was ready then. He has
soaked up all the new mate
rial. There is no public OFF,
