Bluffton High’s battered Pirate
gridders will close their season in a
tilt at home this Friday against
Columbus Grove, and Bluffton col
lege, after a one-week layoff, will
tackle Defiance’s mighty Yellow
Jackets at that place Saturday after
noon.
For a change the Pirates will rate
as slight favorites in Friday night’s
Harmon field melee, providing some
of the injuries which riddled the
team at Bellefontaine last week can
be overcome by game time.

gives the local gridders whatever
edge there may be in pre-game
predictions, for the Pirates downed
Pandora, 15 to 0, while the Grove
was held to a 6-6 tie by the Fleet
wings.
Bluffton college does not fare so
well in “dope bucket” comparisons,
however, for the Findlay team that
trounced the Beavers, 26 to 0, was
hard-pressed to turn back Defiance
by a one-touchdown margin a week
earlier.
About the only thing in favor of
the Beavers is the fact that the one
week layoff has helped reduce the
hospital list materially for the first
time since the opening of the season,
and there are indications that Coach
A. C. Burcky will have a starting

New Hudson Is Well
Received, Dealer Says
The new Hudson has been en
thusiastically received by the Hudson
dealers who have previewed it, re
ports Dick Troy, Hudson dealer for
Bluffton and vicinity who returned
Thursday from Detroit where he at
tended a closed showing for Hudson
dealers.
The public showing and announce
ment of this entirely new automobile
will take place in Bluffton and
vicinity as soon as all of Hudson’s
3,000 distributors and dealers have
received their display cars, Troy
said. At that time the full story of
the new Hudson will be told.
signi-
He listed the following as
ficant developments:
“The new Hudson has a
center of gravity than any
American automobile.
“It is only five feet from the
ground to its top.
“It provides more headroom than
any other mass-produced automobile.
“It is a car which upon entering
you step down into, not up on.
"It has the roomiest seats.
“It really cradles passengers be
tween the axles.

The new Hudson, Troy added will
be powered by a new’ super-six
engine, the most powerful six cy
1 Under engine built today, and an
improved super-eight engine.
Troy said that because the newr
Hudson is so different from any car
ever mass-produced, changeover pro
blems were greatly multiplied, but
despite this fact only a few xveeks
elapsed between th time the last 1947
model was built until the first new
Hudson rolled off the final assembly
line.
