Galionite Fails A To Miss OSU Home Game in 36-Years By CATHERINE RORICK GALION Saturday's football game between Ohio State and Michigan marked the 36th straight year that Bernard C. Mains has never missed a Buckeye home game. At the rate of five, six, and sometimes seven home games a season, this should be right around 200 straight home games for this Galion man. In addition to the home games, Mains often goes out of state to see the Buckeyes play. He has been to Madison, for three OSU games, and three times he went to Evanston, to see Northwestern University play Ohio State, He recalls very well the first game he saw in 1921 when he "Cation Galion high school senior and student manager of the High school gridders (Orangemen was the nickname of the Galion Tigers at that time).

The game year between Ohio State and Illinois was the last one in the old Ohio field on North High St. The next year the games were in the new stadium. Mains went to Columbus for the Mighigan game in 1926. He was on the campus as early as 7 a.m., and stood until noon. He never got a ticket time.

It was when thousands of angry spectators, trying to get one of the 2,000 standing room only tickets, broke down the gates in trying to get in. Mains hadn't wanted to be among that crowd, It was in 1935 that he started to buy season tickets, and attend all of the home games. He is on the mailing list, As soon as he receives an application, he sends it in the same day he gets it in order to be sure he will not miss out. He usually buys four season books a year, and shares these with friends. Some games stand out more in his memory than others like the time he saw Red Grange play at the Columbus stadium.

The "blizzard bowl" game of 1950 was another memorable game. The field was covered with canvas, but it was frozen to the ground. It snowed so hard during the game, the spectators could hardly see the players, Mains remembers. Mains usually has some men along with him when he makes the trip. When his only son, Donald, was old enough to go, he was taken.

Donald had no trouble in deciding where he was going to college when he was old enough. A graduate of Ohio State University, Donald Mains is an electrical engineer with the Bucyrus Erie Company in Milwaukee, Wis. He lives at Greendale. His residence there iis one reason why Mains has made the trip to Wisconsin for an OSU game. One of the thrills Mains has experienced is to take someone along who has never seen a college football game.

It is possible his interest in football as his favorite sport was stimulated because his cousin, Frederick (Fritz) Mackey, a Galion High star, later played on the OSU team, and became freshman coach for the Buckeyes. Mains and his wife, Ida, reside at 354 East Payne Ave. Fire Damages Truck SHELBY Ellery Weir of Tiro wondered why other motorists were so friendly when he was driving into Shelby on State Route 39 at 4:47 p.m. Sunday. Before he reached the city limits in his one-half ton truck, he also began to wonder what was making the cab so hot.

Nixon Latest Subject Of New London Artist NEW LONDON President Richard M. Nixon is the subject of the latest piece of caricature sculpture of local artist, and sculptor John O.

Guthrie. "The president has a strong face," according to Guthrie. He thinks the cartoons seen of the president have exaggerated his features and have led many people to believe that is the way President Nixon really looks. Guthrie believes Nixon's face is interesting to the point of being almost handsome, that his large nose adds strength and his piereing eyes reflect a brilliant mind. Guthrie who is bald jokingly said "I'd give anything to have his beautiful hair." Other features Guthrie finds appealing are Nixon's wrinkles that lend character and strength to his face and his Churchill The Most Exciting Headache News In Years!
