L x x m — NO. 49 GEDAEYILLE, OHIO '1959* HER COPY— 5c Mndlay Blanks CMardle* 19-0 Findlay College performed a feat which none o f the previous seven opponents had been able to do to the Yellow Jackets this fall—holding them scoreless for four quarters. The Oilers came to life in the second half to whip the Jackets, 19 to 0. It %vas also the largest margin by Which Cedarville has been de-- tested this year. F or the first half the two teams played to a stand-off, with few first downs or sustain ed drives. The strategy involved fo r the most part three attempts a t the line, then a punt. The Yellow Jackets probably could be. said to have outplayed the Oilers during that first half. The third quarter saw a re juvenated Findlay team put on & sustained drive o f 65 yards, climaxed by a touchdown jaunt Of 51 yards by Bob Weidey, 160- pound back from Canton. The conversion attempt was no good. A few minutes later V/alter Hicks took a Cedarville punt on his 20 yard line, and the Colum bus back raced 80 yards for the score. Charlie Fhillips made the conversion kick, and ilie score was 13-0. In the fourth quarter Findlay started another drive, this time going 70 yards in all. Full ack Pearl Adams o f Lorain went the last 30 yards fo r the TD. The game with Rose Poly will bring the season to a close Sat urday afternoon. On the basis o f comparaLne s.-ores, the Jac kets should break their eight- game losing streak. Wilmington romped over Rose Toly by a decisive margin, but was hard- pressed to edge Cedarville.

Thanksgiving is celebrated in many lands' with harvest festi vals. In 'Canada, Monday is al ways the day of the week to he designated, and the month varies with the season. Usually the last Monday in October is selected. The ' day itself is celebrated there in much the same way as in the United States. For many years in our early history there was no regular national Thanksgiving Day, but the different colonies sat their own day to celebrate. In 1863, President Lincoln set aside, the last .Thursday in Nov ember for the annual observance. This plan was followed for J5 years. President Franklin D. Roose velt in 1939 named the third Thursday in November as the official holiday, in order to as sist business by lengthening th'e shopping period between the November and December holi days. Congress finally ruled that after 1941 the fourth Thursday o f November -would be observed as Thanksgiving Day, which , currently. practice is followed charge of the devotions in the afternoon.
