Dornte, veteran forward, played a big part in the Central win. The Bluffton Tigers haven't looked any too vicious M®iir two stars, but you can 3 ’be'f yotiY"smffis?i-ljia.t that tile Tigers will be rarin’ to go when they meet the Yellow Jackets here Saturday night. A typical Tiger-Yellow Jacket struggle is in prospect. The Yellow Jackets ought to get fed up on Tiger meat this week-efld.
