Why the Academy was Defeated.
Bellefonte Academy was defeated
by the Syracuse Freshmen at Syra-
cuse last Saturday by the score of 6-
0. The defeat was not altogether un-
expected because coach Snavely had
witnessed the Syracuse lads’ victory
over Cortland, N. Y. Normal on Sat-
urday, October 8rd, the week before
and came home with the report that
they were a classy bunch this year,
an equal match for the Academy in
weight and experience and considera-
bly further advanced in development
than his own proteges. The Syracuse
boys won the game on the merits of
their team work. A few pointers,
however, can be given to satisfy the
loyal fans of the Academy that the lo-
cal team was not disgraced.
A muddy field generally proves ad-
vantageous to the home team. The
mud and wind made a successful pass-
ing game such as Hood plays impossi-
ble. Syracuse made a lucky short
pass after three minutes of play which
resulted in the only score of the game.
Players of either side found tackling
runners a hard proposition because of
the slimy field. Williams made a for-
ty yard run in the second half but
never called his play again. In the
last three minutes Hood shot a long
pass down the field and Whitmore was
set to receive it back of the goal line
- when Sankovic, not seeing Whitmore
tried to get it, only to spoil the pass
for Whitmore, and lose a touchdown
for the Academy.
"The game was valuable in showing
Coach Snavely who his four best back-
field men are, and in proving to the
players that they are not unbeatable.
This fact will cause the team to work
harder and more unitedly in the re-
maining hard games to be played.
They did not play the game of which
they were capable, but due allowance
must be made because of the unfavor-
able weather conditions.

Bellefonte High School Wins Another.
In a driving, stinging gale that had
its origin somewhere in the region of
the north pole, Millheim lost a game
of football to the local lads last Sat-
urday by the score of 26 to 0. Numb-
ed hands were the direct cause of sev-
eral fumbles and poor handling of the
ball and a high wind made kicking and
passing a matter of chance. There
were opportunities a-plenty for either
side to recover loose balls and snare
wandering passes, but many of these
went unheeded. On several occasions
the spectators were uncertain whether
they were watching a football game
or a game of soccer. The Red and
White played the most consistent
football but they lost chances to score
more points because of fumbles or
lack of punch at the critical moment.
€oach Riden’s team was crippled
through the absence of nearly one-
third of his squad who were with the
State: troop. The combinations he
had worked together were broken up
and this naturally affected the smooth-
ness of his machine. The huskies
from Millheim were playing the game
every minute, trying to smash through
the line and waiting for the break to
come which the weather seemed to
promise. Their attack was often
smothered before it got started and
their forward passes were generally
thrown to the world at large. They
had the heavier team but were not as
well schooled in the fundamentals of
the game as their opponents. Waite
scored two touchdowns for Bellefonte,
while Best and Moerschbacher each
scored one. B. H. S. scored once in
each quarter.
Bellefonte vs. Tyrone.
After a lapse of two years Belle-
fonte and Tyrone will again resume
athletic relations this Saturday, when
the latter’s football team will attempt
to down the local High school eleven.
Two years ago Tyrone handed the
Red and White its only defeat of that
season and the sting still remains.
This is the first hard game on the B.
H. S. schedule and a victory will mean
a lot to the team. Coach Riden has
been working his boys hard this week
in preparation for the game. With
the return of the troop, the squad is
once more at its full strength. The
combinations that have worked to-
gether all season were broken up for
a week and it has been necessary to
readjust them.
Tyrone is confident of repeating its
victory and expects to do so by a big-
ger score than the last game. Belle-
fonte will have a team on the field
that will fight every minute. It will
be a real test for the Red and Whites,
for if the boys can establish a defense
that will stop the fast Tyrone backs
they are assured of a commendable
record during the present gridiron
season. The remainder of the sched-
ule which includes Altoona, Yeager-
town, Jersey Shore, Huntingdon, Ju-
niata and Johnstown, is the hardest
in years that a local eleven has been
called upon to face. The game will
be played at Hughes field and will
start at 2:80. Go out and give your
school some support.
tensa fp es
Bucknell to Play Here This Afternoon.
Bellefonte Academy will line up
against the strong Bucknell Freshmen
team at Hughes field, this (Friday)
afternoon, October 16th, at 8 p. m.
The defeat at Syracuse revealed to
coach Snavely the strongest combina-
tion he can place upon the field this
year to maintain the football reputa-
tion the Academy enjoys. Go out and
see what a fine machine the new ar-
rangement will make. Gaudet, who
has been the mainstay and the point
winner of the reserves in both games
they have played, will, doubtless, be
ER
seen on the Academy Varsity lineup
for the rest of the year. He isa
Massachusetts boy and came here
with a wonderful reputation as a back
field man.
Admission to this (Friday’s) game
will be fifty cents. Don’t miss it.
There will be but one more game
played at home this year—that with
the Altoona Apprentices, on Saturday,
November 21st.
It must be remembered that all op-
ponents are scouting Bellefonte this
year and are making it very hard to
spring the surprises that Bellefonte
did last year.
Three Types of Trees Removed in
Thinning.
Nearly every Centre county wood-
lot has trees in it which should be cut,
besides those already dead. A green
or living tree which should be remov-
ed does much more to interfere with
the annual growth of timber in the
woodlot than the dead one. A dead
tree should be removed in order that
the wood in it can be kept from decay-
ing, but its removal does not stimu-
late the growth of its neighbors. The
first trees to be removed in thinning
are those which have wide spreading
crowns and short scrubby trunks.
These trees shade many times their
share of the woodlot and crowd out
the young seedlings which will make
real timber in the future. It is a wise
move when you cannot use such trees
for fuel or for marketable product, to
simply kill them by girdling and let
them fall by decay. A dead tree never
injures the growth of others near it.
The second class of trees to cut in-
cludes those with defective trunks,
where the agencies of decay will af-
fect the annual growth. Rotten wood
is never usable for any purpose.
Inherently slow growing trees com-
pose the third group which should be
removed. Some of them are dog-
wood, beech, yellow birch, rock oak,
and on some dry sites, white oak.
These trees fall down when it comes
to producing’ wood in volume. How-
ever, where nothing else but these are
on the ground, leave the straightest
and tallest specimens.
Where trees are growing up in
dense stands and are beginning to die
out because of extensive competition,
it is a good practice to thin them so
that the crowns will have three or four
feet of clearance; take out the mis-
shapen, the defective and the slower
growing species in order to liberate
those that are left.
By following the above directions
the woodlot owner will get a return
immediately in either fuel wood or
marketable timber, and will improve
rather than injure his future timber
returns. C. R. Bashore, of Bethel
community, Berks county, has aver-
aged not less than $50 net per acre
for the wood he has cut in improving
his stand. The growth in many cases
can be doubled, which means that
marketable timber of better quality
can be produced in much less time. It
is possible to produce at least one
cord of wood per acre each year by
thinning as suggested.
Discard Old“Ewes; Save Young Ones
for Breeding.
With grade ewes scarce in number
and high in price many Centre county
sheepmen are tempted to take a
chance on carrying the old ewes
through the winter and getting lambs
from them next year.
Our better shepherds feel that this
is an expensive gamble. They choose
the wiser course of letting the old,
light-shearing broken-mouthed ewes
go to the butcher and replacing them
with a few of their best ewes.
There is strong temptation in many
quarters to market the ewes and try
to weather with the old flock. The
time has been reached in the fleece
wool country, when the only way the
sheep population can be maintained
or increased is by saving ewe lambs
because the range men are not ship-
ping good, young breeding ewes on the
eastern market in any large number.
Let us cull grade flocks this month
before turning in the rams. We can
hardly afford to carry over the old
ewes that will never live to see April
