Buys Indian Lake Landing
Realizing an ambition that has been
theirs for many years, Mr. and Mrs.
Don Forche of Beaverdam have pur
chased Karpur’s Landing on Island
View at Indian Lake.
The landing consists of 1 1-3 acres
of land of which 1-3 arce is water
front. Included in the purchase were
16 cottages, 20 boats, grocery store
and filling station. They will take
possession on November 1 and will
be open for business next spring.
Forche will continue to operate the
Snow-White Market in Beaverdam,
having made no plans for disposal of
the business at present.
Don and Mrs. Forche have both
been active members of the Bluffton
Sportsmen’s club for many years and

our club and deserve a lot of credit
for the cooperation he has given us

We take this opportunity to wish

Club Continues Fish Restocking
“Boy, what beauties.’’ “Look at
the size of those babies,” and “Where
is my fishing pole?” were just a few
of the expressions heard from the
crowd gathered to watch the conser
vation men on the fish truck dump
the second load of fish in the Buck
eye. The fall fish restocking pro
gram is nearly completed and one
more truck load will arrive this Wed
nesday or Thursday noon. This lat
ter truck load will probably be divid
ed between the water works quarry
and the Buckeye, the committee stat
ed earlier in the wook.
The first load of fish arrived last
Thursday noon and contained approx
imately 2,000 crappies, 2,000 parch,
1,000 pickerel and 200 rock bass. The
second load arrived Monday noon and
contained 3,000 crappies, 2,000 perch,
500 pickerel and 50 rock bass. Both
loads were released in the Buckeye

quarry. Purchase was made from a
commercial fish company at Lake
Erie by the Sportsmen’s club. The
fish restocked were all of good size
with the crappies running from 8 to
14 inches. Pickerel were all about
14 inches in length and the perch
ranged from 10 to 12 inches.
Two Car Loads of Big Game Hunters
to Head for Canada
Ten big game hunters will head
for the wilds of Ontario, Canada, Sun
day for a two weeks’ stay in one of
the best deer hunting sections of that
famed Canadian province.
Two cars and a trailer will be used
to haul the men and hunting equip
ment needed for the trip. In the
party: Ross Irwin, Fred Hahn, Lester
Hahn, Wilbur Niswander, Russell
Montgomery, Harold Montgomery,
Leland Sechler, Joe Birchnaugh, Will
iam Hahn of Lima and Glen Eichel
berger of Toledo. The hunters have
engaged a large cabin for the two
week period.
They will travel to BAice Station
in Ontario where they will be joined
by Reuben Beilhartz and two other
guides who will aid them in their
quest for big game.
Black bear and deer abound in the
region and early reports indicate
there will be plenty of game await
ing the Jiunters. This year the group
plans to arrive at their destination a
few days ahead of the opening of the
big game season on November 1, in
order to try their luck at fishing and
also to give those making the trip
a chance to limber up. The region
abounds in lakes, some of which are
165 feet in depth.
Walnuts Wanted
The game reserve committee of the
club urges the public to gather up
walnuts for wildlife feeding this win
ter. Take the walnuts (they need not
be hulled) to Niswander and Herring
Veterinarian office and the club will
pay 25 cents per bushel for them.

For the second Saturdav in a row,
Ohio Northern defeated Bluffton col
lege by a margin of three touch
downs, with a 20 to 0 victory over
the Beavers, in an O. N. U. Home
coming attraction at Ada, last Sat
urday afternoon.
A week earlier the Bears had
beaten Bluffton at Harmon field, 20
to 0, and they virtually duplicated
the stunt last Saturday to demon
strate that "lightning can strike
twice in the eame place.”
In another respect the story was
the same, for all of Northern’s scor
ing came in the first two quarters,
and from halftime on the short-man
ned Bluffton squad battled their foes
on even terms.
One of the hottest championship
races in many a year has developed
this fall in the Western Buckeye
league, and altho the Bluffton High
Pirates are virtually eliminated as
title contenders they remain in the
thick of the battle for runner up
honors .... At present Van Wert
and St. Marys are the only remaining
undefeated teams, both in league and
outside play, and their meeting in two
weeks will be one for the books
Both defeated Bluffton by the same
score, 25 to 0, the only setbacks inci
dentally that the Pirates have suff
ered in the league.
n
Van Wert last week handed Wapa
koneta’s Indians their first defeat of
the year, 21 to 7, and the latter outfit,
opposing Bluffton here Thursday
night, will be aching to break back

Quarterback Lewis Good ran 22

down, and scored again in the sec
ond quarter after a recovered Bluff
ton fumble had put the Bears in
scoring position. Jack Wilson added
the third touchdown by intercepting
a Bluffton pass and running 37
yards to score.
At the close of the tilt, the Beav
ers were in scoring territory after
marching from their own 27 to the
Ada 12-yard line, but the gun cut
short their chance of scoring.
It marked the end of a short sea

back the visitors they will have no
chance to stay in the running for a
chance at the runnerup position
Bluffton’s present record is two wins
and two losses in loop competition.
One thing in Bluffton’s favor this
week is the fact that the locals long
have held a jinx over Wapakoneta,
and that never since Bluffton-Wapa
koneta play was started in 1922 have
the Indians been able to defeat the
Pirates two years in succession

Wapakoneta’s high-scoring eleven
will get plenty of opposition from
Bluffton High’s scrappy gridders at
Hannon field Thursday night of this
week, and altho the visitors have
lost only one game so far this sea
son the Pirates are rated as an even
choice in the tilt.
It will be the local crew’s last
home game of the season.
Comparative scores do not give
an accurate picture as to the rela
tive strength of the two outfits.
Wapakoneta beat Ada, 12 to 7, a
team that Bluffton subdued, 19 to 0.
On the other hand Bluffton lost to
Van Wert, 25 to 0, and the Indians
held the same outfit to a 21 to 6
score.
St. Marys, defending Western
Buckeye league champions, had too
much power for Bluffton High’s
lighter eleven last Friday night at
Harmon field, and walloped the Pi
rates, 25 to 0, for the local crew’s
second league setback against the
same number of wins.
Scoring ineach period, the Rough
riders showed the class which has
carried them to four consecutive
wins so far this season, and their
rugged defensive play thwarted
every offensive threat of the Pirates.
Huwer, a speedy back with plenty
of drive, accounted for three of the
St. Marys touchdowns, and Vander
horst tallied the other. The first
three attempts at conversion failed,
but a pass from Huwer to Berger

Should Wapakoneta win this year
it will be the first time in a long
series of competition dating back to
1922 that the Indians have beaten
Bluffton two years in succession.
Last year Wapakoneta was vic
torious over the Pirates, 40 to 0, but
the victory marked only the fifth
time in the 17-game series that the
Indians were able to take the decis
ion. Since 1922, the Pirates have
won 11 of the contests, and another
ended in a 6-6 tie.
Both teams will be on fire for this
week’s meeting, for Wapakoneta has
suffered only one setback in league
play so far, and Bluffton has been
beaten twice.
accounted for the extra point after
the fourth touchdown.
Bluffton nearly staved off the last
tally by a matter of less than a
minute, for St. Marys climaxed a
drive from midfield to score with
only 45 seconds of playing time re
maining.
St. Marys and Van Wert have
been touted as the favorites in this
year’s Western Buckeye race, and on
the basis of their showing against
Blufft on they appear about equally
balanced. Each defeated the Pirates
by a score of 25 to 0 on the Bluffton
field, and each showed defensive
strength as well as an offensive
punch.
