You know colds and resulting sickness — most often finds entrance through leaky shoes. That’s why we are so particular to have our boys’ and girls’ shoes, so solidly built of honest leathers—-that they’ll be as weatherproof as possible. Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller

Ft Wayne Central High Defeated Bluffton, 19-2 Fort Wayne, Ind., Oct. 11.—Fort Wayne Central proved better on a wet and muddy Held than Bluffton yesterday afternoon and the local high school defeated the Wells county lads by a score of 19 to 2. Fort Wayne scored three touchdowns while Bluffton’s two points were registered on a' safety before the end of the game. Fort Wayne's superiority over the visitors was greater than the score indicates, faulty receiving of punts by the Blue and White players alone keeping the score from running much higher. Bluffton made but two first downs in the entire game, and both . these they reeled off in succession: hear the end of the third quarter.' However, Bluffton recovered five punts which were fumbled by the Fort' Wayne backfield, and these account-; ed for almost all the yards while the' ball was advanced by the visitors. In the second quarter Bluffton advanced the ball from their own 20-yard line to Fort Wayne’s 20-yard line by re-: covering two fumbled punts in succession. An 80-yard run by Captain Fair for a touchdown at the start of the second half was the big feature of the game. McGinlock, at fullback, played a good all-around game and his long: distance punts with a wet and slippery ball were big aids to Coach Strum’s eleven. Granger, at left half, | did some brilliant broken field running and played a good defensive game. The Blue and White line held well throughout and gains through this method of play were almost impossible. In the fourth quarter, the local line held< for four downs on its own five-yard line. Captain Early, at right half, performed the best for Bluffton. ——l o Indiana Meets Minnesota at Indianapolis Saturday
