Bluffton High football workouts
will be started at 6 p. m. rext Mon
day on the Harmon field gridiron,
with four weeks of practice slated
before the opening game in an effort
to bolster up the strength of a
squad badly hit by graduation and
by army calls during the last year.
Coach A. C. Burcky, Bluffton col
lege mentor, who will be in charge
of the high school squad this sea
son, will hold evening practice ses
sions until the opening of the school
term on September 5.
First game of the year for the
high school team will be played Fri
day, Sept. 15, in a contest with Ken
ton at that place, and Coach Burcky
will need the intervening four weeks
to whip the 1944 Pirate eleven into
shape.
Most of last year’s star gridiron
performers either were lost through
graduation, were drafted into the
armed forces or enlisted, and the
Bluffton mentor will have to start
from scratch in building up a strong
aggregation for this season.
Early practice was made possible
inasmuch as the high school passed
up spring workouts last spring. Un
der state athletic regulations, fall
practice may be started on August
20 if no spring practice was held.
Bluffton High Football Practice
Will Start Next Monday Evening
