The Bluffton aggregation will get a preview of the Friday night when they go to Findlay this Wednesday night to see their opponents play the team from W’right Air Field under the lights at Donnell stadium. Two teams in a dangerous mood will clash at Harmon field this Fri day night when Bluffton High grid ders entertain Celina’s Bulldogs in a Western Buckeye league contest. Last week both teams were defeat ed by other league foes, and with the two smarting under the sting of the setbacks pienty of action can be expected in the game here Friday. Altho it was an off night for them, there were no excuses by Bluffton High gridders following the drubbing they took at Van Wert... .They show ed the right kind of a spirit in defeat and they’ll come back fighting harder than ever. .There were no alibis. “We’re lucky as" it was,” said one.... “What if Van Wert would have got to count those six touchdowns that were nullified because of penalties.” And that, incidentally goes to show just how weird a game it really was. Bluffton college, too, had no excuses to offer... .Anyone who saw the size of the Capital outfit, running all the way down to the third team, could easily see there was no doubt of the outcome..........It was simply the old story of wearing down the Beaver regulars, then ‘pouring it on’ in the closing minutes of the game....How gallantly the outclassed Beavers per formed is seen in the fact that the vis itors were able to score only two touchdowns in the first half....... Dope ran pretty much to form in the showing of Western Buckeye league teams last week....The only upset was at Celina where underdog St. Marys rose up to win over the Bulldogs, 14 to 13, in the traditional battle between the two schools.. .Van Wert, favored over Bluffton was suc cessful and there was no surprise in Bellefontaine’s 36 to 6 win over Wa pakoneta....... Last week’s Bluffton-Van Wert game was one of the few in the his tory of competition between the two schools that was not closely contest ed.......In the two preceding years, the two teams had tied 7-7 last year and 12-12 in 1910....In 15 games there have been four ties six wins for Van Wert and five for Bluffton....... Ada High continues to show its power... .Last week the team wallop ed Carey, 40 to 13, their fourth straight win of the season... .Arling ton continued to add to its amazing record with a 32 to 0 win over Van Buren....In four games, Coach Jim Morrison’s team has scored 157 points Bluffton High Will Play Celina Eleven At Harmon Field Friday While Bluffton was losing to Van Wert last week, Celina was the vic tim of an upset in which St. Marys, traditional foe of the Bulldogs, was eking out a surprising 14 to 13 win. Bluffton High and Bluffton college grid outfits lost games last week to outfits that outclassed them in size, experience and availability of re serve strength. High School Loses To Van Wert, 33-0 College Bested By Capital, 41-0 Opening their 1942 Western Buck eye grid league season, the high school team was trounced by Van Wert at that place by a score of 33 to 0, last Friday night. Bluffton college’s defeat came in the form of a 41 to 0 setback ad ministered at Bluffton stadium by Capital university Saturday after noon. Making a determined bid to repeat as champions of the Western Buck eye loop, Van Wert’s Cougars used its superior array of manpower to wear down the Pirates in the game there last Friday. One touchdown was scored by Van Wert in the first quarter, and an other came in the second. Liniger did the first-quarter scoring and the second touchdown of the game was made by Stoops. In the third stanza, Bluffton was weakening, and Van Wert scored twice as Weigle and Liniger crossed the goal line for the Cougars. In the last quarter Weigle again scored. Liniger place-kicked four of six tries for point after touchdown. Bluffton’s most serious bid of the game ended disastrously for the Pi rates. After driving to Van Wert’s one-yard line, the locals lost three yards on a try at the line. Qn the next play, a pass attempted by Bluff It was a weird play—that one at Van Wert last Friday night that fin ally took most of the spirit out of Bluffton Hig’s vastly outweighed grid ders.... The Pirates were making their most serious scoring bid of the game, and had driven to the Cougars’ five-yard line....From there a sur prise pass into the flat was tried—but it was a surprise that backfired... .Up into the air went an alert Van Wert back, who wrapped his arms around the ball and raced unmolested the full length of the field for a touchdown... THE BLUFFTON NEWS.BLUFFTON. OHIO So far as league standings are concerned Celina has a slight edge over the Pirates, for their loss of last week in the loop is offset by a victory scored the preceding week over Wapakoneta. Bluffton has played only one league game thus far, the setback suffered last Friday at Van Wert. In season play, Celina also has a slightly better record. So far, the Bulldogs have won three games and lost one. Bluffton has broken even in four starts, with wins over Pan dora and Columbus Grove. ton was intercepted on the goal line by a Van Wert back who sprinted the length of the field for a touch down. Meeting a team of football giants with plenty of experience behind them, Bluffton college gridders never had a chance against Capital uni versity in Bluffton’s annual home1 coming game at Harmon field last Saturday. The visitors scored in every quar ter of the game, with their attack picking up the most momentum in the third quarter when 15 points were racked up. Bernlohr broke the scoring ice with a 20-yard touchdown jaunt early in the first period, and Powell followed with a successful five-yard plunge across the goal a few minutes later in the second quarter. In the unlucky third, Bernlohr and Powell again contributed touchdowns, and a safety was added as Bluffton unsuccessfully attempted to punt from behind it own goal. Two more touchdowns came in the last quarter. Dudley tallied on a plunge from the one-yard line, and Ortman scored on a pass from Klie. Keltner place-kicked two points after touchdown, and Ortman added a third. SPORTS IN SHORTS Bluffton’s starting lineup included: Kerr and F. Soldner, ends Fretz and Baumgartner, tackles P.
