Triplett’s home field jinx over the
strong Routh Packers’ softball team
of Tiffin was continued last Monday
night, when the undefeated Bluffton
outfit trounced the visitors, 7 to 4, in
a game at Harmon field.
The victory ran Bluffton’s season
string to seven wins in a row, without
suffering a setback, and it was only
the second time Tiffin has been beaten
this year in nearly 20 games.
Triplett was decidely the underdog
in Monday’s tilt, for Tiffin has impres
sive victories over such teams as Fer
guson’s State Auditor’s generally rec
ognized as Ohio’s best team, and the
Napoleon team which was the state
champion last season.

CONSISTS of two simple words.
Yet every soldier who’s worth his salt covets it.
This title is simply:
“Good Soldier.”
It isn’t just happenstance that so many women
in the WAC have earned this title—the proudest
in the Army.
For wherever Wacs are working, both here and
overseas, there you find a job well done. And done
with a spirit so gallant and fine that high Army
officers everywhere say of the WAC...
They’re soldiers. Good soldiers!"
