Injuries and illness took their toll
Monday night as Bluffton college
eagers were stopped by Tri-State
university, 58 to 56, in a game at
Angola, Ind., that ended a four-game
winning streak of the local col
legians.
Two regulars, lost because of ill
ness, did not even get to make the
trip to Indiana, and a third, handi
capped by an ankle injury, broke
into the lineup for less than a
quarter of play.
On the hospital list were Forward
Rich Gratz and Guard Roger Howe,
and a sprained ankle kept Forward
Russ Gratz out of all but a few
minutes of the contest.
Bluffton started slowly, and at the
end of the first quarter Tri-State
held a 17 to 9 advantage. General
Bluffton play improved in the second
period, however, and the locals pulled
up within five points of their foes,
trailing 26 to 31 at halftime.

1947 FUND
The American Red
Cross And You
We Americans have an obligation
to fulfill in time of peace as in time
of War, and it is through the Red
Cross that this can be accomplished.
It is extending aid to millions of
veterans who have come back to the
uncertainties of civilian life and to
the men in the occupation fortes
overseas.
It is providing relief to victims of
fires, floods, earthquakes and other
disasters in the United States.
This is not an obligation of the
few it belong^ to all of us. It is a
proud responsibility, in the discharge
of which the American people have
already set a record before the
world.
We do not support the Red Cross
as an end in itself, but as a means
of bringing comfort and assistance
to those in distress or need.
The Red Cross is the sole agency
designated by War and Navy De
partments to act as a medium of
communication between the United
States and their Army and Navy.
The Red Cross helps maintain the
morale of servicemen in the hospitals
and camps, and provides the only
touch of home away from home and
loved ones.
Relief in time of disaster is one
of the charter rejnt nsibihties of the
American Red C’»vr, the activities
and accomplishments are magnani
mous in their distinguished services
at home and in other countries of the
world.
Nowhere else in the world do so
many people give in kindness for
others whom thev may never see it
is a happy privilege to be on the
giving side and not on the receiving
When the solicitor calls on you,
be generous and courteous to them
—give with a smile and give
generously.
High Bowling Score
Mrs. Evelyn Balmer, former Bkiff
ton resident, last week rolled the
highest three-game bowling score of
the season in Findlay women’s
league play, with a total of 596.
She had games of 177, 190 and 229.
She is the wife of Robert Balmer.
APPRECIATED
I wish to thank all my friends
who so thoughtfully remembered
me with cards and gifts following
my recent accident. And also thanks
for the card and handkerchief shower
on my birthday anniversary. They
were much appreciated.

SIDNEY’S DRUG SHOP
Bluffton college eagers chalked up
their third victory in a row with a
43 to 39 decision over Wilmington
in a game played at that place, last
Thursday night.
In defeating the Quakers for the
second time this season, the Beavers
were forced to come from* behind in
the last two minutes of play, over
coming a one-point disadvantage and
going on to victory.
At halftime Wilmington had led,
26 to 20, but as against Cedarville
last week, lhe I’urckynmn rallied
right at the opening of second half
play, and finally led Wilmington, 2°
to 28.
From that point, the Beavers ran
the count to 34 to 29, only to have
the Quakers come up from behind
and go out in front, 39 to 38, with
two minutes to play.
Bluffton’s defense then did stellar
work in holding Wilmington scoreless
the rest of the distance, while the
Beavers got five points to sew up the
victory. In the winning surge,
Bluffton tallied on one field goal and
three free throws.
