Silverware Stolen at State College
Recovered in Pittsburgh.
rn
With the arrest of two men in Pitts-
burgh, last Friday night, silverware
valued at more than three thousand
dollars, alleged to have been stolen |
from the Henszey hopse, at State Col-
lege last Wednesday night, has been
recovered. The men arrested are Ed-
ward Bleich, aged 24 years, and Jo-
seph Purnick, aged 20. Police chief
Yougel went to Pittsburgh and identi-
fied the silverware as that stolen at
the College and also identified Bleich
as having lived at the College several
months ago.
The arrest of the two men was more
of an accident than design. Pitts-
burgh police were notified on Friday |
that somebody was frequenting one |
of the cottages at Camp Girl Shy. !
They went to investigate and were
amazed at finding the stolen silver-
ware stored in the cottage. The police
hid in the cottage and during the
night three young men came in.
Bleich and Purnick were captured but
the other man escaped. The young
men also had two automobiles that
police believe. have been stolen but
they have not yet located the owners.

Bellefonte High Downs Lock Haven
in Turkey-Day Classic
Before a Great Crowd in Lock Haven Our Grid
Warriors Win Last Game of the Season
Fight Gloriously for 7 to 0 Victory
Headed by Kiwanis, with Wetzler’s band of Milesburg and the Odd
Fellows band of Bellefonte, a thousand or more local rooters took the
highway to Lock Haven yesterday afternoon to cheer the undefeated
High school football gladiators of Bellefonte. The boys must have
been greatly inspired for they played wonderful football and were up
on their toes from the starter’s whistle until time was called at the end
of the grueling game.
Their victory was well earned, for Lock Haven was a worthy foe.
Last year it was the champion High school team of the east and many
of the stars of last year’s victories were in the lineup yesterday.
The day was slightly overcast and snappy, ideal football weather,
and the fur coats and heavy ulsters in the crowd were comfortable as
well as ornamental.
The High school contingent of over two hundred
studes who were grouped down about the twenty yard line were in such
a frenzy of excitement that they
yelled themselves hoarse and hot
under the spell of their peppy cheer leaders, Betsy Shank and Fre
Fisher.
After the game they did a snake dance on the Lock Haven grid and
many of the crowd lingered in that place until late in the evening flaunt-
ing the red and white and giving the High yell.
The story of the game follows:
‘ There was a crowd of between three
and four thousand on the field when
the Lock Haven team in purple sweat |’
ers and their band wearing purple
capes appeared. The field was soft
muck and it was apparent the game
was to be played in the mud.
The Belefonte team took the field
i‘just as the combined Wetzler and Odd
Fellows bands marched on at the head
of a great crowd of rooters for the
I red and white and the local cheering
from the United States elected by the section broke loose with the Hi yells.
THE GAME IN DETAIL,
The game started promptly at two.

the left of our line but failing to gain
on next play kicked to Crust in mid-
field. Paul ran back five, but Belle-

‘THE SEASON’S RECORD.
During the season Bellefonte High
has played nine games, winning 8 of
them, losing none and being held by
Tyrone High to a scoreless tie. They
have scored a totai of 243 points to 13
for their opponents.
Much of the credit for the above
record is due to the wonderful coach-
ing of the athletic director, J. R.
Riden, and the loyal support given the
team by the entire faculty and school.
They stood back of them at all times
and gave the boys every encourage-
ment possible.
But the splendid success of the sea-
son was not achieved by the above
alone. The indomitable will and fight-
ing spirit of the players themselves is
what counted in their successive
string of victories. Capt. Heverly
proved himself an able leader and
fighter. He was in every play from
the start to the finish of the game and
was loyally backed up by every man
on the team. It was not only an ag-
gregation of individual stars, but
superb team work that enabled them
to win so consistently. Every loyal
Bellefonter has good reason to be
elated over the team’s success, and
more than all in the gentlemanly way
in which they played the game at all
times.
"The record for the season stands as
follows:
