A Resume of the Academy Football
Season.
The very successful season just
closed of the football eleven repre-
senting the historic Bellefonte Acade-
my vividly recalls to the minds of the
fans and football enthusiasts gener-
ally in Bellefonte the football days of
this time-honored institution when big

Stanford, Jake Stahl, Purcell Beattie,
LeRoy Locke, Forest Decker, “Shor-
ty” Loucks, “Scrubby” Jones, Frank
Holmes, Harry Symes and other stars
made the Academy famous on the
gridiron and helped build up cham-
-pion college teams after leaving the
Academy.
From the very beginning of the
season, even though there was no reg-
ular coach for the team, it was evi-
‘dent that an unusually heavy and
classy lot of players had entered the |
Academy, who would develop one of
the strongest teams in the school’s
history. Capt. Buchanan, the centre
of the team for two years, came from
the champion Greensburg High school
eleven. He is a wonderful player,
both on the offensive and defensive.
Many colleges are watching him close-
ly. Cronje Carnahan, a guard for
his second year, weighs 210 pounds.
He is a Tarentum lad and is remark-
ably strong and fast. Akins, 198
pounds in weight, is the other guard.
He played on the Mt. Union college
. eleven two years ago and has been a
tower of strength to the Academy
team.
Alwine, the big 240 pound tackle,
is a fast man. He did the kicking
off and the kicking of goals with the
success of a college star. He also
came from Greensburg High. “Doc”
Hillard, the other tackle, was former-
ly a member of the Indiana Normal
eleven. He weighs about 188 pounds
and uses his weight to great advan-
tage. Bill Ashbaugh, the star centre
of Washington High school last year,
played brilliantly at end. He weighs
185 pounds.
a wonderful game all season. Both
ends were very sucessful in getting
away with forward passes.
In the backfield several players
made names for themselves and will
soon be winning laurels for some big
college teams. They are Boyd Par-
shall, 190 pounds, and Dick Frauen-
heim, 165 pounds, who divided the
honors in calling the signals and run-
ning the team. Parshall came from
Washington High school and Frauen-
heim from Shadyside Academy. Both
men always hit the opposing lines
hard for good gains.
pounds, formerly of Fifth Avenue
High, Pittsburgh, is also a wonderful
fine plunger. Charlie Fleming, a
brothed of “Red” Fleming, who was
captain of last year’s eleven, was one
of the fastest backs who ever wore
the gold and blue.. He was injured
in the State Freshmen game on Octo-
ber 30th and did not get into the game
again until the Dickinson Seminary
_ contest on November 20th. He is a,
Bellwood boy and weighs 165 pounds.
Macbride, a former Wyoming Sem-
inary star, weighing 185 pounds, has
also been putting up a very strong
game. “Dish” Rigby,
Fast Liberty Academy, with a valua-
ble army experience proved a wonder-
ful player, especially on the defen-
sive, even at the weight of 165 pounds.
Last but not least comes Marsh John-
son, the heavy and speedy fullback
from Jamestown High school, New
York, weighing 190 pounds. He was
a hero in every game, not only be-
cause of his line-plunging ability,
and fleet-footedness, but also because
of his power to drive long, low punts
into the opponent’s territory. De-
waters, of Corning, N. Y.; Lowell Da-
vis, of Morgantown, W. Va.; James
Foreman,
Seminary; Ennis, of Elmira, N. Y.;
Caplin, of Philadelphia, and Pritch-
ard, of Ravenna, Ohio, were strong
substitutes.
The games played and the scores |
are as follows, the Academy score be-
ing the first named:
Altoona High at Bellefonte
Wyoming Seminary at Kingston....
Bucknell Reserves at Bellefonte
Carnegie Tech Res. at Bellefonte.... 1

The Academy students, as a token
of their apreciation of the superior
work of their team, believing that
they have no superiors among the sec-
ondary schools of their class, have
liberally subscribed to a fund where-

HEALTHY NEW -YEAR
A Tournament of Thirty Weeks in the
Health Crusade Started in the
Public Schools.
In 1917 a circular, “Record of
Health Chores,” made its first appear-
ance.
ties through the performanc of which
children would become
Health Crusaders.” Since then more
than 4,000,000 American children have
become pages, squires and knights in
health chivalry. The crusade is an
educational feature of the program of
the National Tuberculosis Associa-
tion and is financed by the sale of
Christmas seals. It was introduced
into the public schools of Bellefonte
in March, 1919, as an experiment, by
the Woman’s club and was found suf-
ficiently helpful, in emphasizing
health truths, to warrant a tourney of
fifteen weeks from January to June,
1920, in which 113 pupils were enroll-
ed in both High school and Bishop
street buildings.
102 from the High school building
and 100 from the Bishop street build-
ing qualified as Knights Banneret—
the highest honor that can be won in
the crusade. With a credit of only 2
in favor of grade pupils in the High
school building over those in the Bish-
op street building, the crusade was
started November 14th for another
and longer period of thirty weeks. To |
serve as officers in this tournament

tain league for their winter schedule,
| connection with the 1920 Christmas
' seal sale, Tuberculosis day will be ob-
served in Pennsylvania. The dates se-
i lected are Friday, December 3rd, in
, the schools, and Sunday, December 5,
in the churches.
In the schools, principals, teachers,
. physicians and laymen will speak on
the nature and treatment of tuberculo-
sis and how to prevent the disease.
! Health plays will also be given. Many
, pastors on December 5th will devote
| all or part of a sermon to the ques-
| tion of health and particularly tuber-
culosis. In many Sunday schools
. some time will likewise be devoted to
i presenting the subject. In many
| churches and Sunday schools laymen
| and physicians will also talk.
Gifford Pinchot, chairman of the
State committee in charge of the
Christmas seal and Health bond sale,
said:
I “I should like to see Pennsylvania’s
{ schools and churches use these days
| for emphasizing the fact that the
White Plague is still a serious men-
ace. The steady drop in the death
‘rate from tuberculosis in Pennsylva-
| nia (from 150.9 per 100,000 popula-
tion in 1906 to 117 in 1919) appears
to bear a direct relation to the prog-
ress made in bringing to the public
i the fact that tuberculosis is a pre-
| ventable disease. The messages on
| the seal this year— ‘Merry Christmas’
|and ‘Healthy New Year’—call for
| plenty of time in the fresh air: and
| sunshine of the out-doors, the eating
| of wholesome food and the taking of
| plenty of rest. These are the simple
but effective remedies against tuber-
{ culosis. = It will mean much for the
public health if these simple lessons
are brought more forcibly to the at-
! tention of everybody on these two
days.” 3
Tuberculosis day will be observed
in nearly all States of the Union on
these days—December 3rd and 5th.
Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop.
That splendid musical fantasy,
“Fi-Fi of the Toy Shop,” will be the
attraction at the opera house three
nights, December 15th, 16th and 17th.
It will be given by local talent select-
ed from the pupils of the public
schools, and under the direction of the
Rogers Producing company. The pro-
ceeds will be used in the establish-
ment of a course of vocal music in the
Bellefonte schools.
This ‘will no doubt be the leading
local talent event of the season and
: should be liberally patronized.

' GAUDY COSTUME HIS FOIBLE
Marshal Murat, Napoleon's Famous
Cavalry Leader, Seemingly Had
Craze for “Fine. Feathers.”
Marshal Murat was the dandy
among Napoleon’s generals. One Paris
tailor said that in some years he had
made as much as 100,000 francs’ worth
of suits, overcoats and uniforms for
Murat. He liked to invent new an‘!
fantastic uniforms, he strutted abou!
in a suii of sky-blue overalls covered
all over with gold spangles. and ho
decorated his bushy with aigrettes. On
the occasion of his triumphant aotry
into Warsaw when he supposed he
would be made king of Poland. he
wore an impossible looking uniforui.
red leather boots. tunic of cloth of
gold, sword belt blazing with dia-
monds, and a great busby of fur
. decked out with costly plumes. On
this occasion Napoleon lost his temper
and testily exclaimed to his general:
“Go and put on your proper uniform :
you look like a clown.” But the em-
of finery, for it is recorded that he
once said of him: “You may smite at
my dandified marshal, but you will no-
tice that when columns are shot down
today, Murat’s gaudy plume will be
dancing in the hottest of the fight. Let
a hero have one folly, gentlemen.”
Spruce and Hemlock. ;
It is not difficult to distinguish be-
tween spruce and hemlock in
forest, when one learns to notice the
following points: The spruce has stiff
pointed leaves (or short needles), iis
bark scales are never bright red, and
the cones—smaller than those of the
pines—hang down on the branches.
The hemlock, on the other hand, has
soft flat needles, often two-ranked.
that is, growing on two sides of the
stem, so that the sprig has a flat
tened appearance: hemlock bark
scales look red, when broken off, and
the dainty little cones stand erect on
their branches, falling apart soon
after ripening, so that no old cones
long remain on or under the trees
where they grew. Lumber from the
two trees may be distinguished by re-
membering that that of the spruce is
white in color, while hemlock wood
retains its faint reddish tint.
What Chance Did Dad Have?
“Dad. I lost my commutation ticket
today. Tt slipped out the car window.
Will you please give me money enough
io zet a ten-ride ticket? There are
only five more working days in the
month, so I'll need only the ten rides.
Now. dad, you can't ask me to take it
ant of my allowances. It simply can’t
be done. Anyhow, one of your old cor-
porations declared a dividend recent-
tv. and 1 didn’t have to ask you for
any money for two weeks, That saved
vou $50, and the ticket is only $10.
\Why. dad, you are $25 ahead at that!
You're making money off your own
son! You can't do that! It isn’t be-
ing done this year. . . . TI knew you
would feel as I do about it. Thank
vou, dad.”—Indianapolis News.

| by Mr. Jones, instructor at State Col-
lege and who is also a returned mis-
-sionary of South America. The

impressive selections and Rev. Emen-
