Burcky's Beavers At
Findlay Friday Night
Coming out unscathed from the
Capital game here last Saturday,
the Bluffton college Beavers will
travel to Findlay, Friday night to
meet Findlay college gridders at the
Donnell stadium.
Sommers, first string fullback who
was not in uniform last Saturday be
cause of injuries will be in the start
ing lineup adding weight to the
Beaver backfield. Martin, substitute
guard, has left for camp and will
be missing on the bench.
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.

and at the same time held opponents
scoreless... .In other Hancock league
games Rawson hammered McComb,
33 to 0 and Mt. Cory lost to Liberty,
18 to 6... .Findlay college pulled one
out of the fire against Muskingum
last week... .Going into the last quar
ter, the Oilers were trailing, 9 to 0,

rally to capture the decision, 19 to 9..
