HUNTING SEASON OPENS Ausriciousty. | ——Hon. and Mrs. W. C. Lingle will
—Wednesday was a good day for the
opening of the hunting season. The re-
cent rain wet the fallen leaves and ground
so that hunters could get through the
woods without frightening their quarry,and
it was easier for a dog to catch and follow
the trail of a bird or rabbit. Very few
pheasants were killed, although some
hunters aver that they saw quite a num-
ber but were unable to get good shots.
A number of wild turkeys were killed in
the county, but not nearly as many as last
vear. As an illustration: Up Bald Eagle
valley last year from thirty to forty wild
turkeys were brought in the first day of
the season. On Wednesday just six tur-
keys were brought in in the same terri-
tory. One crowd at Martha got twenty
rabbits as the result of their day's work.
Down about Howard twelve turkeys
were bagged last year as against four this
vear. Those who shot the four were
Christian Schenck, Frank Daughenbaugh
and Thomas Bowes, of Howard, and Geo.
Purcell, of Philadelphia. Lot Mess, of
Howard, got ten rabbits and a pheasant
and a Philadelphia crowd, hunting north
of Howard, bagged a big bunch of cotton-
tails. Reports from Snow Shoe are in ef-
fect that game in that section was rather
scarce on the opening day.
Milan Walker was one of the luckiest
of the Bellefonte hunters. He hunted in
the neighborhood of the Ten Acre and
succeeded in bagging an eighteen pound
He saw five all told. John Mar-
tin got a fourteen pound turkey and Joe
Runkle a small turkey and eight rabbits,
- Edward Gillen got ten rabbits and a pheas-
Miss Helen E. C. Overton, of Bellefonte,
ant, John Nighthart got nine rabbits and
three men from McCoy's works got a
wild turkey each and twenty rabbits.
‘Three hunters were seen down Nittany
Thomas Walker, of Marsh Creek, died '
valley who had a turkey each, while Law-
rence McMullen got three squirrels.
H. D. Weaver, operator in the tower be-
tweek Bellefonte and Milesburg, shot a
fox squirrel while hunting in the vicinity
of the Ten Acre. It measured twenty.
seven inches from tip of nose to tip of
tail and is the third of the species to be
seen in this section in recent years. Mr,
Weaver gave it to George Knisely who
will have it mounted.
Lot Neff, Hunter Dukeman and Fred
Leathers were fortunate lower Bald Eagle
valley hunters who shot wild turkeys on
the first day.

A Lap KILLED A 221B GOBBLER.—Lit-
tle John Moore, a mere lad and a son of
E. S. Moore, of Pine Grove Mills, came
down off Tussey mountain Wednesday
evening dragging a 22Ib wild turkey. He
had shot the head off the gobbler and he
was so small and the bird so large that
when he had it over his shoulder it drag-
ged on the ground. Old hunters who
didn’t get anything on the opening day
will have to take off their hats to this
lad.
Rev. Pittenger, the Methodist pastor
| up there, was captain of a hunt in the
Barrens that bagged twenty-five rabbits:
The Krebs crew shot twelve and Ed.
Isenberg, single handed, brought in nine
bunnies.
IN THE FooTBALL WORLD.—Year after
year the State College football team would
journey to Philadelphia full of hope that
they might vanquish their strong opponent,
only to go down in ignominious defeat
before a better drilled team in every way.
The nearest they came to a victory was
two years ago when Bill Hollenback's
eleven held the Quakers to a tie game.
But last Saturday they had joy enough to
wash out the stain of all past defeats
when they conquered the red and blue
team by the decisive and overwhelming
score of 22 to 6. And the greatest satis-
faction of all was that four hundred State
College students and over a thousand
ardent supporters of the blue and white
eleven were there to see them do it. State
had Penn at her mercy all the time and
could have run up a larger score had she
cared to do so. Eight cars made up the
special train which conveyed the students
to Philadelphia on Friday afternoon and
it took ten sleeping cars to bring them
back Sunday night. The train was de-
layed several times and it was 8:200'clock
Monday morning when it finally reached
Bellefonte on its way to the College.
But State was not the only Centre coun-
ty football aggregation that won honors
on Saturday. The Bellefonte Academy
team defeated the Lock Haven Normal on
Hughes field by the score of 25 to 0, and
the Bellefonte High school eleven went to
Lock Haven and downed the Normal re-
serves by the score of 23 to 0. The vic-
tories of both the latter were just as great
for those teams as State's was over Penn.
Tomorrow State College will play St.
Bonaventure on Beaver field.
The Bellefonte Academy football team
will play the State College reserves, at
the College, tomorrow afternoon, as a]
preliminary to State's game with St.
Bonaventure. The annual cider scrap
will also take place tomorrow afternoon,
immediately after dinner, so that there
will be a full half day's sport for all who
care to attend.

SURPRISED THEIR PASTOR.--Monday
evening while Rev. S. A. Snyder, pastor
on the Centre Hall United Evangelical
| charge, was absent from home on busi-
ness, and his wife was at the home of a
neighbor attending a class of teacher's
training, about forty people from the Lin-
den Hall and Centre Hall classes gather-
ed and took possession of the parsonage,
taking with them well filled baskets, sacks
and bundles, which add to the joy of an
itinerant preacher's home. On her re-
turn Mrs. Snyder, to say the least, was
agreeably surprised, as was the reverend
| upon his return later. While pastor and
family appreciate the many substantial
gifts, which added to the replenishing of
the larder, they most of all appreciate
the christian spirit that was manifested
by the donors, and express their heart-
felt thanks for same. After enjoying
themselves socially the visitors, at a sea-
sonable hour departed for their homes,
realizing that “It is more blessed to give
than to receive.”
