The little Christmas seal comes to you again with its message of health, hope and life. The 1924 seal pictures knowledge ealightening the world as to the dangers of tuberculosis. She rests her hand upon the shield of the double barred cross to indicate that she is defending the world against the white plague. The mission of the seal is the pre- vention of tuberculosis. It carries the lessons of fresh air, proper sleep and wholesome food. Through the bringing of these facts to the people of Pennsylvania through the newspa- pers, meetings, literature, moticn pictures, demonstrations, clinics and hospitals, nurses, summer camps and health work in the schools the tuber- culosis death rate in Pennsylvania has been reduced more than forty per cent. since the seal was first sold sev- enteen years ago. Christmas seals cost little, but mean much to you and to your community. They spread happiness and health, and lessen sickness and suffering in your community. Every Christmas seal you place on a parcel or letter stands for a definite thing you have done to make our children healthier and therefore the Som a safer place in which to ive. Prep School Champions Beyond a Question. The unprecedented season, just closed by the Bellefonte Academy football team, fully justifies their claim to championship among the pre- paratory schools of the country. Pil- ing up overwhelming scores against worthy opponents, many of them in the college class, they kept their own crowned champions? No such record has been made by any other team in the country, so why, if you please, should they not be crowned: champion. Of their closing game in Scranton, on Thanksgiving day, the Republican of that city had the following compli- mentary story to tell of a wonderful football exhibition: The sixty-one points gained by its victory over St. Thomas’ college swells .its total .of tallies-fo :456,: be- lieved to be the greatest score in the country this season by either college, normal, prep or high school. To this honor is added the distinction of hold- ing all opponents scoreless, and not having its twenty-yard line crossed during the entire season. “Seventy-five hundred fans, who packed the Catholic club field Thurs- day afternoon to see Old Man Foot- ball bow himself out for the year, are satisfied that the claim of coach Snavely to the prep school title is not an empty boast. The fact that Belle- fonte Academy is playing out of its class was proven conclusively. The final score of the game was 61 to 0. The St. Thomas’ squad suffered a defeat, but not an ignominious one. They were administered a sound trouncing. They were outweighed, outplayed and outclassed, but not dis- graced. The two teams cannot be mentioned in the same breath. The game at the Catholic club field Thursday afternoon was an appropri- ate climax to the season. It was one of the best games seen there this sea- son, because it took to Scranton a team which has mastered the art of football and which has perfected each play so as to defy every foe and to flaunt all criticism. For an instant in the first quarter it looked very much as though the Tommies would smash the scoreless record of the Centre County Moun- taineers. The purple and white squad was struggling on the thirty-yard line. Clifford stood back and tried for a field goal. A few inches separated the ball from the post, but these few inches saved Bellefonte’s record. At no other time in the game was Bellefonte threatened. The Tommies fought hard and well, but it was-a los- ing battle. The scoring was started by Bellefonte in the initial moments of the battle, and the offensive was continued throughout. Each quarter saw at least two touchdowns; three were scored in the first. The playing of the Bellefonte team was of a calibre as never ‘seen before in the coal regions. The Centre Coun- ty Mountaineers seemed to have an unlimited supply of plays at command. The aerial attack was such as defies description, Hood and Whitmore, the two Bellefonte halfbacks, sailing the oval for forty and fifty yards with unerrin the trick plays and the line plunging. was of major college variety. It is no wonder that Syracuse, Notre Dame and Pitt are making bids for the mem- bers of the Bellefonte team. Hill, Bellefonte fullback, had three touchdowns in the game. Captain Guarino had two and Whitmore drew a deuce; James and Buyney, who was substituted in the second quarter for Rooney, rangy and super-intelligent quarterback, each had one. ‘Whitmore and Hood, halfbacks, did most of the goal kicking, the former making four placements and the lat- ter three.

Sylvester W. Beach D. D., of Princeton, N. J., will have charge of the service in the Presbyterian church, both morning and evening, ! Sunday, December 7th. Although Dr. Beach was closely connected with Bellefonte many years ago, as an in- structor at the Academy, and later married into one of its best known families, his prominence in the work of the church since that time has giv- en him but few opportunities for con- tinuing his early friendships here, his visit Sunday being the first in twenty years. Dr. Beach has but recently re- turned from an important church mis- sion to Europe, which required him to visit fourteen countries. William C. Thompson, Pastor. ST. JOHN’S REFORMED CHURCH.
