Bellefonte High School Defeats the
Strong Huntingdon High.
Before the largest crowd ever as-
sembled on the Hughes field fo see a
football game the Bellefonte High
school eleven, last Thursday after-
noon, defeated the much touted Hunt-
ingdon High by the score of 13 to 7.
But it took fighting to win, as the
visitors were undeniably the hardest
proposition the locals have gone up
against this season. The visitors were
a bunch of big boys, outweighing the
locals many pounds to the man. In
the first period Bellefonte scored
within ten minutes, Heverly making
the touchdown. Garbrick kicked the
goal.
On the first play of the second quar-
ter Neff made a long run for a touch-
down, kicking his own goal. In the
third quarter Bellefonte made its
second touchdown by steady, hard
drives, but missed the goal. In the
fourth quarter Bellefonte made an-
other touchdown but it was not allow-
ed because of an offside play. The
remainder of the game was all in safe
territory.
Bellefonte High has played seven
games, six of which were victories
and one a scoreless tie. They have
scored 201 points to 18 for their op-
ponents. The big game they have yet
to play will be the Lock Haven High,
at Lock Haven, on Thanksgiving. The
Kiwanis club of Bellefonte and several
hundred others are planning to go
to Lock Haven for this game.
Down at Morgantown, W. Va., last
Saturday, the Bellefonte Academy
eleven literally swamped the Univer-
sity of West Virginia Freshmen, win-
ning by the score of 67 to 7. Tomor-
row the Academy will play the Pitt
Freshmen at Lock Haven. The latter
team has not been beaten this year
and this game promises to be one
worth going to Lock Haven to see.
At State College, on Saturday, Penn
State defeated Bucknell 13 to 7. It
being Pennsylvania day a large crowd
was in attendance. This was State’s
last game before the titanic struggle
with Pitt, at Pittsburgh, on Thanks-
giving.
Police Chief Yougel, of State College,
Locates Check Kiter.
Police chief Yougel, of State Col-
lege, has the tenacity, of a bull dog
and the instincts of a blood hound
when it comes to running to earth
wrongdoers. Several months ago a
man by the name of Jay R. Creegan
Jr., located in State College and en-
gaged in upholstery work, making a
specialty of work at fraternity houses.
One day he suddenly disappeared and
with him went a touring car purchas-
ed of John A. Hafer, and on which he
had made only a small payment. A
Pittsburgh detective was employed to
locate Creegan and the car, but failed
to do so.
Some weeks later worthless checks
began to come in to the First Nation-
al bank, at State College, and it was
then chief Yougel got busy. The
first checks came from Princeton, N.
J., and a description of the man sent
to the Princeton police brought the
information that the car was being
held in that city for an unpaid board
bill but Creegan had departed for
other towns.
He was next heard of at Port Chest-
er, N. Y., where he married a girl who
gave her name as Dorothy Otto, of
State College. Worthless checks also
came in from Philadelphia, New York
City, and Greenwich, N. Y., and finally
last Wednesday the man was located
and arrested in New York City.
Chief Yougel went to New York on
Monday to bring the man back to Cen-
tre county for trial.

ABRAHAM WEBER.
WEBER.—The passing away of : ;
Abraham Weber, at his home in How-
ard at 8:30 o'clock last Friday morn-
ing, removes from that town one of
its oldest and most substantial busi-
ness men. Over five years ago, or in
May, 1921, he sustained a stroke of
paralysis which rendered him an in-
valid and he had been confined to his
home ever since... Last Thursday he
was apparently as well as he had been
for weeks and quite cheerful, but
early Friday morning he had a sink-
ing spell and rapidly grew weaker un-
til the end.
Mr. Weber was a son of Balser and
Anna Pletcher Weber and was born at
Howard on February 9th, 1853, hence
had reached the age of 73 years, 9
months and 3 days. Balser Weber
was a native of Bavaria, Germany,
who. came to this country when twen-
ty years old, landing in New York
with a cash captial of $3.25. He spent
but a few days in New York city then
went to Schenectady where he worked
two months in a broom factory final-
ly coming to Centre county and locat-
ing in Howard in November, 1849. At
that time Abraham Sussman lived in
Howard and fcllowed the occupation
of a peddler and he employed young
Weber in the same capacity. For two
years he tramped the county with a
pack on his back then bought a horse
and wagon and continued his transient
trade until 1857, when he purchased
the store of Robert J. Haynes, in How-
ard, and that was the beginning of
the now well known mercantile firm
of B. Weber's Sons.
It was during the early struggles
of his father for a foothold in the
mercantile business of his adopted
country that Abraham was born and
and he naturally inherited the energy
and thrift of his ancestors. He was
educated in the public schools of How-
ard then took a course in the Iron
City business college, at Pittsburgh.
to work in his father’s store and in
1884 his father took him in as part-
ner, the firm name being changed to
B. Weber & Son. Five years later,
or in 1889, the elder Weber. retired
and the firm name was again changed
to that of B. Weber’s Sons, John and
William having been taken into the
partnership, and as such it has con-
tinued until the present day. oY
Though Mr. Weber gave close atten-
tion to his business he always found
time to devote a portion of his ener-
gies to the welfare of his town. He
served three terms as burgess of How-
ard, having been elected in 1880, 1886
and 1894. He served on the town
council and was president of that or-
ganization for six years. ‘He was one
of the organizers of the First Na-
tional bank, of Howard, was vice pres-
ident from 1908 to 1915, and president
from 1915 until his death. In politics
he was a staunch Democrat of the old
school, attended many of the old-time
county conventions as a delegate from
Howard and one or more State con-
ventions as a delegate from Centre
county. He was one of the kind of
men whose word was as good as his
bond, and in this alone he will leave
to his posterity a legacy of untold
worth and merit.
Mr. Weber was a member of Belle-
fonte lodge No. 268 F. and A. M., the
Wiliamsport Consistory 32nd degree

evening, by staging a class initiation
in their camp room at which eighteen
young men, some of the best in that
section, were admitted to membership.

p. m., on Tuesday, did not reach here
