Welcome to the city, Fostoria. j Win tonight if you can, but we don't think you can. Jefferson and Pleasant Mills staged a hard-fought game hero Saturday night, with the winner in doubt until the final wjiistle. Jefferson won. 25-20. Monroe and Geneva played a similar game at Berne, with the latter being victorious. The Yellow Jackets started practice Saturday in preparation for the final game on their schedule, a battle with the Portland Panthers here Friday night.

The Marion Bean Poles will have their hands full taming the Wild Cats next week-end. The Bluffton Tigers added two victories to their list over the weekend, trimming Rockcreek on Friday night, 56-19, and downing Hartford City on Saturday night, 34125. Good work. Tigers. A contributor sends the following item, addressed to us, to Rip Offs in the Bluffton News: "Dear Mark M. Upp: You can call our gym a barn as long as you like, but until you get an up-to-date ‘barn’ like we have I will call your’s a shed. Here are a few of the up-to-date mechanical devices we have in our ‘barn’ that you do not have in your shed: An electrical clock, an electrical time-plate, an electric score board, and a ‘darn’ good team. Oh yes, you also made a crack about our wrestling team, but don't get canary’ for we will challenge you to a match. That will be one victory that we will be sure of. BOB.” We sure did start something when we called the Tigers’ play house a barn. We concede Bluffton’s superiority in regard to the electric timer and score board, bnt as for the other points in question, we’re still boasting. i Today’s question and answer: Q —Team A has the ball in play in the court when a player of Team B is injured. May the officials call time out for Team B? A—Yes. The committee feels that the game should not continue when a player is injured, in spite of the fact that injuries might be "faked” under these conditions. If, however. Team A is'about to throw for goal from the field, and a player Is injured in another part of the court, it would be good judgment on the part of the officials to withhold their whistles until the throw has been made or missed.

jiner Transportation <7/Lower Cost G-10-11-NF More Buicks are now being sold than ever before in Buick history. And an important reason is the fact that, though expensively built, a Buick maybe inexpensively purchased. Buick could spend less money build* ing its chassis, and still keep the quality up to the average in Buick’s price clast. The famous Buick Valvej in-Head engine is a more expensive type to build. Buick could use a steering gear less expensive than the 5-control-surface steering mechanism which adds so much to Buick’s driv* ing ease. The Torque .Tube Drive also adds expense to Buick manufac* * ture, as do the “Sealed Chassis,’* the “Triple Sealed Engine,” full pressure engine lubrication, the Buick multi* pie-disc, dry-plate clutch, and Buick mechanical 4-wheel brakes. Buick closed bodies are built by Fisher to the most exacting standards laid down by any manufacturer today. * Quality, regardless of its cost, rules Buick design. But thanks to the sustained popularity* of this quality, purchasers actually pay less for it. Vast volume gives Buick owners finer transportation at lower cost.
