Fishing Contest Ends
The $400 fishing contest held at the
Buckeye Quarry this summer ended
Monday with only 19 tagged fish cap
tured out of the 252 released in the
quarry.
The contest which has been spon
sored by Sportsmen’s club for sev
eral years now attracts a great deal
cf attention and on some days during
the spring fishing rush as many as
200 anglers could be seen at one time
trying their skill at the quarry.
Thousands of legal size fish were
released in the quarry prior to the
opening date of the contest, but only
the fish carrying the small metal
numbered tags were th& lucky ones.
A variety of fish were tagged and
every type of angler from the cat
fisherman to the man with fly or
plug had an opportunity to cash in on
the prizes offered. As in previous
years local firms aided the club in
putting on the contest and over 90
stores and firms sponsored tagged
fish in the derby. Awards ranged
from war bonds to prizes in trade.
Winners were as follows: Joey

Fall Fish Restocking Started This
Week at Local Quarries
A telephone call from Sandusky,
Monday from the supervisor of the
Lake Erie Conservation district brot
the good news that truck load of Lake
Erie mixed fish would arrive in Bluff
ton on Wednesday afternoon. The
load will contain all large size fish
and would be a mixture of perch,
crappies, with a sprinkling of bass
and channels. The fish will be re
leased in the Buckeye quarry for re
stocking purposes. The club has on
order a truck load of perch and a
truck load of mixed fish for release
in the quarry. The two loads will
approximate 4000 large fish. The
shipments are paid for from club
funds and the truck load of perch if
obtained at this time has been paid
for by donations of club members.
Over $40 has been raided for this spe
cial shipment of perch.
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. The group had a
cottage at the bay and although the
weather was drizzly a good share of
the time, the fishing was good. Tom
White hooked a 6 lb. small mouth
bass on his by rod and the entire
party had good catches of northern
pike which ranged from 5 to 9 lbs.,
bass from 3 to 4 pounds, channel cats
and other fish.
Plan Bird Dog Trial
Entries for the United Conservation
and Outdoor Association’s Autumnal
bird dog trial are being received at
the Yellow Front Auto Supply store
in Findlay. The event, familiar to
the many bird dog enthusiasts of the
area, is an annual affair with entries
limited to 30 Hancock County owned
dogs.
The field event will be run off this
coming Sunday at Van Buren Lake.
Entries will be closed as sdon as the
limit of 30 dogs is reached.
Drawings for place in the trial will
be hid this Thursday night at the
club’s annual Fall Warmup mixer in
Eagles hall. The shindig starts at
8 p. m. promptly.
Shells for Hunters
The Navy Department has notified
congressmen it has declared 14,000,
000 shot gun shells surplus, and this
ammunition should be available to
hunters immediately. Last year
hunters were limited to 100 each.
More About Boats
Two Tennessee plants are conduct
ing experiments in the construction
of all aluminum fishing boats, the
Aluminum Company of America stat
ed recently. One company has built a
14 foot fishing boat with an overall
weight of only 202 pounds.
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.
Northern’s quick kick early in the
second quarter set the Beavers back
on their heels again when the ball
rolled dead on the one-yard line, and

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
