For one-half of the game a de
termined Bluffton college eleven bat
tled a heavier Kent State outfit to
a standstill last Saturday afternoon
at Kent, but inability to cope with a
bewildering passing attack found the
Beaver defense crumbling to shreds
in a second-half rout.
During the first two periods, the
Burckymen threw up a stalwart de
fense that held Kent to one lone
touchdown.
It was an entirely different story
in the second half, however, when
Kent cut loose with a scoring ava
lanche that found them running the
count to a 58 to 0 mark by the
time the game had ended.
With Bluffton’s defense crumbling

fans will be spare this week, with
no games scheduled at home for col

After playing Pandora at Pandora
this Wednesday afternoon, Bluffton

again until Friday, October 10, when
the Pirates clash here with Van
W ert.
Bluffton college will face its third
severe test in a row’ in a game at
Columbus with Capital university,
this Saturday afternoon.
Bluffton High rules as the favor
ite in the traditional clash with Pan
dora on the Putnam county gridiron
this Wednesday afternoon, despite
the fact that the Pirates had only
four days’ rest since last Friday’s
victory over Ada.
In addition to seeking their third
successive victory, the locals will be
battling to keep their goal line un
crossed. Pandora was defeated in
its first two starts and rules as
the under dog.
Van Wert’s appearance here on
Friday, October 10, will mark the
Dillermen’s first test of the season
in the Western Buckeye league.
Bluffton is defending loop' champion.
Capital university is rated as one
of the better Ohio conference outfits
this year, and Bluffton college’s
scrappy gridders will be matching
wits with their third formidable op
ponent in a row in the game at
Columbus, Saturday.
Although unsuccessful in their
first two starts, the Beavers have
been playing courageous ball against
teams outmatching them in strength
and experience. Following the Capi­

The reverse at the hands of Kent
State was the local collegians’ second
of the year, and in the other setback
administered by Grand Rapids a suc

So far as last week’s game is con

bears evidence of a gallant battle
put up by Bluffton against superior
odds in the form of a larger, faster,

Spectacular scoring plays and con
sistent steadiness on offense and de
fense marked Bluffton High’s 26 to 0
gridiron conquest over Ada last Fri
day night in the Harmon field sta
dium.
In scoring their second shut-out
victory of the season, the undefeated
Pirate aggregation took advantage
of every break and set up scoring
opportunities of their own whenever
no breaks w’ere offered.
Three touchdowns were scored on
passes and the other was the result
of a scintillating 50-yard run marked
by some expert blocking and excel
lent ball toting by Paul Klassen.
An aggregate of 168 gained yards
was represented in the four scoring
plays alone. The attempts that re
sulted in touchdowns were good for
56, 50, 40 and 22 yards.
For their first touchdown, the Pi
rates marched 75 yards, starting on
their owm 15. Schmidt skirted right
end for six yards to start his team
moving goalward.
A Herrmann to Cooney pass moved
the ball 16 yards after which Herr
mann looped an aerial to Howe to
place the ball on the 50-yard stripe.
Bluffton’s attack then exploded
like dynamite, asx Klassen lugged the
oval half the length of the field on
a magnificently executed reverse.
Bob Cooney kicked the extra point.
For the remainder of the first
quarter and thruout most of the
second period, Ada played the Dil

The Pirates etruck again with sud
deness to count two more touch
downs in the last two minutes of the
first half, to demonstrate that the
team always is dangerous on the of
fense.
Taking over on their own 44-yard
stripe, Bluffton was stymied on a
faked reverse, but Herrmann lofted
a long pass to Howe who took it on
the run and romped across the goal.
The play represented a total gain
of 56 yards.
Then, it was only a matter of sec
onds until the Pirates scored again.
Ada punted to Bluffton on the home
team’s 40, and on the first play

about one-third of the crop. Augs
