BULLDOGS TOP K'VILLE 18-6; MITCHELL HURT
by Bob Mitchell NHS Bulldogs rolled to three first half touchdowns Friday night to defeat Kendallville Comets 186. The victory had its bright and dark sides. On the bright side was the improved defense of the Bulldogs that permitted the Comets* only 84 yards rushing and 16 passing for a total of 100 net yards. MITCHELL HURT On the dark side is the injury received by halfback Mike Mitchell. Midway in the scond quarter Mike snagged a pass from QB Gary Stutzman and was forced to leave the game after being tackled. Xrays show a shoulder dislocation and Coach Young expects him to be out of action for several weeks. Bulldogs failed to win the coin toss for the first time and kicked off to Kendallville. The Comets were forced to punt and Nap scored the first time they had the ball. Two line plays failed and on third down Stutzman faded and hit Mitchell with a perfect aerial that Mike caught in full stride on the Comets 40 and sprinted into the end zone for the TD. The play covered 72 yards. The Naps tallied twice in the second quarter. The Stutzman to Mitchell pass put Nap on the Comets 34 to start one drive. On the first play, Stutzman raced for an apparent TD on a keeper but the play was called back as the Bulldogs were detected holding. Stutzman then hit left end Chuck McFall over center and Chuck carried to the Comets 24. SUB MAKES TOUCHDOWN Soph halfback Randy Weddle, subbing for Mitchell, took a pitchout and sprinted 24 yards for the TD. Halfback Phil EVans again applied a fine block at about the 5 yard line to spring Weddle loose. Bulldogs scored their final TD near the end of the first half on a 61 yard march. The big play was a Stutzman pass to fullback Jay Stouder in the flat and Jay rambled to the Comets 17 yard line. Another aerial to right end Dick Conrad moved the ball to the one yard line, and Stouder circled his right end for the six, points. Naps failed on all three extra point attempts and at halftime were out in front 18-0. COMETS HOLD NAPS The aggressive Comets came out in the second half and held the Bulldogs scoreless during the third and fourth periods, and also managed to punch across six points in the final quarter by intercepting a pass deep in Bulldog territory. From the Bulldogs 12 yard line, Kendallville went across in two plays with halfback Dave Hart going across from six yards out for the TD. Kendallville’s kick for the extra point also failed and the score remained 18-6. The action was fast and furious in the remaining minutes and the Bulldogs were goahvard bound on the Comets 20 yard line at the final gun. Friday night, Nap faces New Carlisle on Memorial Field. The Jaycees will have a fish fry preceding the game with proceeds going to the school to help pay for the new scoreboard.

Broaster at B&B For Newest Super Fried Chicken B&B Restaurant 'has installed a broaster for frying chicken under pressure, the last w r ord in flavorful fast cooking, Dave Widmoyer, managing partner, announces. The announcement on their menus has zoomed sales of fried chicken, so popular is the new broaster method of frying, Dave adds. The broasting method sears the chicken almost instantaneously, sealing flavor and juices in. The chicken comes out greaseless and is therefore wonderful also for eating cold, tender and juicy and without grease. The B&B uses only graded, plump and tender full-size chickens for broasting. Either half a chicken or quarter portions are served and brackets of broasted chicken can be taken out in orders of eight or* 16 pieces. Dave says, “Phone first and your broasted chicken will be ready and waiting for you in the bucket when you reach the restaurant.” High School PTA Donates $350 to Four Departments Nappanee High School Parents Teachers Association has given a total of $350 to the high school to be divided among the art, science, industrial arts, and dramatic departments.

50-YEAR HONOR AWARD GIVEN TO DR. SLABAUGH
Fifty years of faithful medical practice in Nappanee have brought Dr. Jancy S. Slabaugh, Nappanee’s dean of physicians, a treasured award; a Certificate of Distinction for 50 years in the practice of medicine from Indiana State Medical Association and a blue and gold lapel pin with the medical emblem arkfc a gold 50 on it. Dr. Slabaugh, who celebrates his 85th birthday today, is happily recovering from a siege in the hospital with a gangreous left toe. Circulation had been reduced in his leg causing him great pain. A specialist in an Indianapolis hospital cut a nerve in the leg Which immediately improved the -circulation. Monday, he threw away his crutches and Tuesday was walking around downtow’n, doing an errand in the bank and ready to go back to work next Monday morning. A modest and quiet man, Dr. Slabaugh recalls “nothing special” from his half century of labor as a family doctor. He never kept track of the babies he delivered, but the total must be in the thousands. Just about every emergency arises in the work of a hometown all-around doctor. He recalls the flu epidemic in 1918 as one of the worst times. Dr. Slabaugh was born in Miami county and graduated in 1900 from Indiana State teachers college, then in 1905 from Indiana University. After graduated from Hering Medical School, Chicago, he began practice in Nappanee in late August of 1909 and has been here ever since. His first office was in the Hartman Bldg. Now he maintains an office on N. Main, where he will be at work next Monday, starting his 51st year of service to Nappanee. There will be an .honor meeting in Indianapolis for the 50-year doctors Oct 7, which Dr. Slabaugh hopes to be able to attend.

HANEYS FIND ODD REACTION TO EARTHQUAKE
THEIR BED SHAKEN BY DEADLY MONTANA QUAKE by Keneth Ilancy Part 3 Our next stop was at Buffalo Bill Dam. We parked our car and walked thru a tunnel cut 200 feet back to the dam thru solid rock. As you walk thru, you can’t help thinking that the rock overhead isn’t so solid at that, and you hope a few pieces don’t fall down on your head. This concrete dam is about 100 feet across and 200 feet high with a five-foot walkway on top. It backs up water in a lake four miles long and is used for irrigation and power. It is a thrill to stand and look way down into the gorge; however this dam compares to Grand Coulee as a bean to a baseball. At the east gate of Yellowstone National Park, we paid our $3 fee and got a litterbag and a folder. From this I quote: “For your safety whi 1 e in the gqyser or hot springs areas, stay on constructed walks and keep your children on them, A fall into a boiling pool is fatal. Ground crust that looks safe is thin, dangerous to walk on. “Bear, deer and other animals are dangerous. Observe them from a distance. Do not feed them. “No boats less than 16 feet can go more than half a mile from shore on Yellowstone Lake. All others must be 30 feet. The lake is from one to five miles wide and 40 miles long. Violent storms thru the mountain valleys come up suddenly. Its elevation is about 8000 feet and waves of five feet are not uncommon.” HARD TO BELIEVE People follow these rules like a “wet paint” sign. You’ve got to see it to believe it. You’ll see shoe tracks of kids where they have gotten off the narrow board walks. More than (Continued on page 2)
