Fish Hitting at Water Works Anglers have been waiting for the frost to hit the Bluffton area, for this change in weather invariably quickens the fishing interest. Following heavy frosts insect life is literally wiped out and this source of food is shut off from the fish. As a resit good catch es are to be had. Sam Stepleton has set the pace for fall fishing for this veteran angler showed the local boys he still enjoys plenty action with his fly rod. Sam last Thursday afternoon from 2:30 to 6:00, snagged the nicest catch of fish we have seen in many a day, and all the fish were taken from the water works quarry on night crawlers with his fly rod. On his stringer there were 2 bass measuring 17 inches, 1 bass 15’2 inches, 1 crappie 13’: inch es, 1 crappie 91? inches and another 7 inches in length. Sam also hooked an 8 inch rock bass. Here is a record to shoot at this fall, boys! Other anglers have had good luck at the Water Works the past few days. Jesse Mangus snagged at least 5 nice crappies and a gobd sized bass, Sundaly. Ed Root hooked an 18 inch bass and Doc and Mrs. Ludwig had a good sized bass and crappie on their A stringer also. This writer, Pappy Sheidler and his son Charles had some fun snagging blue gills and catfish and several other anglers have been taking good catches of blue gills from the waterworks quarry the past few days. Fishermen Return From Michigan A party of anglers hit it lucky in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan dur ing a week’s stay at Munosky Bay. In the party were Thomas White, Fred Hoverman, Louie Haller, Dick Haller and Leo White.

Breaks in the first and second quarters gave Ohio Northern uni versity three touchdowns and a 21 to 0 victory over Bluffton college last Saturday afterno- at Harmon field stadium. For the most part the Beavers played the visitors on even terms, hut the first-half scoring of the Bears was sufficient to spoil Bluff ton’s first Homecoming gridiron fare in three years. In the opening minutes of the tilt, Bluffton and Northern waged a mid field battle, but a fourth-down bad pass from center gave the Bears the ball on Bluffton’s 17-yard line and their first scoring chance as the quarter neared its end. From that point Northern drove to the five-yard line and Quarter back Good then slashed off tackle for a touchdown. Weller skirted end for the extra point and the Bears led 7 to 0. A Bluffton pass intercepted on the Beavers* 28-yard stripe set up the second touchdown less than two min utes later, and Weller caught a long pass from Bailey in the end zone for the tally. Weller again converted.

Archer place-kicked the extra point. Otherwise Bluffton played the Northern eleven to a standstill, and altho the locals uncorked several threats of their own they never suc ceeded in breaking the scoreless ice. It was an iron-man performance for the 12 Reavers who saw action in the tilt, but one of necessity, for the team had no other replacements in their first start since football was discontinued at the college back in 1942. Northern tallied eight first downs in the tilt, and Bluffton got six. Fumbles were costly to both outfits, and each recovered balls lost by the others on three occasions, but other wise good football was played des pite the fact that neither school had seen action in three years. Bluffton’s starting lineup included Berkey, left end Beery, left tackle Hamman, left guard Schumacher, center Frank, right guard Nis wander, right tackle Rickert, right end Fellers, quarterback Suter, left half Klassen, right half, and Placie, fullback.
