The Bellefonte Academy football team closed its regular season in a blaze of glory, on Saturday, by de- feating the Dean Academy eleven, of Boston, Mass., 42 to 0. The game was played at Williamsport and several thousand fans were in evidence. The Academy’s playing was consistent throughout the game, and the work of Capt. Hood, Williams, Daugherty, H. Smith, Marker and Gaudet was characterized as brilliant. Had the entire team been in such good physi- cal condition the day they played the Pitt Freshmen the story of that game would probably have been different. While the regular season is now a thing of the past Mr. Hughes has se- cured a post season game to be play- ed at Cisco, Texas, on Christmas day. He is also hopeful of securing one at Tulsa, Okla., for New Year’s day and if successful will make an effort to have at the game 1926 “Miss Amer- ica” as a drawing star. While the Academy lost the game to the Pitt Freshmen this year it was the only game lost, and only the sec- ond game in three years. In that time they have piled up the almost unbe- lievable total of 1186 points to but 60 scored against them. The record for this season was 385 points to 40, the games and the scores being as follows: Academy 18 Gettysburg Freshmen Academy 83 Irwin All Scholastics Academy 27 State Freshmen Academy 7 U of N. Y. Freshmen Academy 21 Syracuse Freshmen Academy 28 Bucknell Freshmen Academy 42 Catholic Prep of Erie Academy 67 U. of W. Va. Freshmen Academy 0 Pitt Freshmen Academy 42 Dean Academy SO~IOOoOoINS Coach Carl G. Snavely Bucknell. May Go to Bucknell University is hard after | coach Carl G. Snavely, of the Belle- fonte Academy, and while he has not vet publicly announced his intentions it is just possible that he may re- ceive such an attractive offer that in justice to himself he cannot afford to turn it down. Coach Snavely came to Bellefonte four years ago from Kiski, where he was assistant coach, and during his service at the Academy he has built up a football team that is known from one end of the country to the other. Even though the Academy lost one game this year it is easily the champion team of the country this season, as it has been the past three years. Should coach Snavely decide to go to Bucknell his services would be missed at the Academy, and while regrets would be felt over his de- parture headmaster James R. Hughes could not, nor would not, find any fault with his going. i Buy the Christmas Seals. No house to house canvas will be made this year for the sale of Christ- mas seals. The Bellefonte committee has sent out one thousand letters con- taining one hundred seals each and it is hoped that all who receive them will find it convenient to keep and use the seals and send one dollar to the chairman. The same practice will be observed generally throughout the county. Outside of. Bellefonte the local Christmas seal chairmen are as follows: Clarence, Miss Edna J. Rogers. Howard, Mrs. J. Will Mayes and Mrs. J. F. Condo. Milesburg, Miss Bessie Miles. Snow Shoe, Miss Leotta Campbell. Unionville, Mrs. J. S. Askins. Hand Badly Torn in Corn Shredder. William Robison, of Howard town- ship, an employee at the Bellefonte silk mill, stayed at home on Monday to assist his father shred corn. In some unaccountable way he got his right hand caught in the shredder and it yas necessary to use planks to pry the shredder rolls apart a sufficient dis- tance to release the hand. The young man was brought to the Centre Coun- ty hospital where every possible effort will be made to save the hand.

Dear Friends at Home: I’ve been planning to write you the last two or three days but am glad I waited for today your nice, long letter of June 25th reached me, and I can’t tell you how glad I was to get it. We have been having a lovely sum- mer here in the country and have been so well and happy. The last few days it has been terribly hot but today a fine wind came up and then it rained awhile, so now it is quite a bit cooler. That’s one nice thing about this cli- mate, when it gets so hot that you think you can’t stand it another min- ute there’s always a nice wind and rain storm comes up and cools it off so that you can take a new lease on life. Just now everything is quiet here in Chungking and we had a very fine school term, with no trouble at all from the anti-Christian and anti- foreign sources. I knew you would see the account of Mrs. Sibley’s mur- der in the paper and be concerned about us. It certainly was a horrible affair and the work of a fanatic. The Red Lantern society, which is very anti-foreign, has been strong up and around Chengtu, and it seems the students have been back of a number of men who planned to kill off the foreigners gradually and thus relieve the country of them. Mrs. Sibley was visiting in Chengtu at the time to have some medical and dental work done. One day she wasn’t feeling very well so decided to go for a short walk before dinner. She went alone and never return- ed. When dinner time came the peo- ple with whom she was visiting be- came concerned about her and started out to find her. Her body was found only a few blocks away, and the head had been severed and thrown into a toilet. Not knowing what a Chinese toilet is like, you can’t imagine how awful it seems to us here. The police saw the man commit the crime but it was done so quickly that there was no help for it. The man was pursued by police and soldiers who finally shot him. Not long after the murder of Mrs. Sibley, Grace Manly, of our own mis- sion, was attacked while in a rickshaw and pulled from it by a well dressed man. People along the street ran to her rescue so she suffered no harm. But from that time on the folks in Chengtu (foreigners) were not allow- ed to go on the street unless accom- panied by a policeman. Finally it was learned that the Red Lantern society had decided to wait until the foreigners went to the hills for the summer, and then they plan- ned to kill them all. But the foreign- ers postponed their time of going and some of them didn’t go at all. Up to this time we have not heard of any further fatalities, so I guess things are settling down up there all right. Mrs. W. R. NORTH. ——————— pe ———— _ Hockenberry—Hill.—The wedding, at 11.30 o’clock on Tuesday morning, when James Herbert Hock- enberry, who is a patient in the insti- tution, was united in marriage with Miss Gwennie N. Hill, of Bellefonte. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Reed O. Steely in the presence of several of the nurses at the institu- tion. Mr. Hockenberry, it will be re- called, is the young man who had his right foot badly injured several weeks ago while at work in the mine of the American Lime and Stone Co. He is now improving. lpr Harpster—Peters.—L. C. Harpster, the well known auctioneer of Fergu- son township, and Miss Mildred Peters, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Peters, of Pine Grove Mills, motored to Boalsburg on Thanksgiv- ing day, where they were married at the Reformed parsonage by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Moyer. Following the ceremony the young couple took a wedding trip by motor to Philadelphia where they spent several days at the Sesqui. Next week they will be at home to their many friends in the Dunlap apartment at Pine Grove Mills. Harpster—Koch.—H. W. Harpster, of Pennsylvania Furnace, and Miss Etta E. Koch, of Pine Grove Mills, were married at the Presbyterian par- sonage at Baileyville, last Friday, by the pastor, Rev. Albert Minnigh. Fol- lowing the ceremony they motored to Tyrone where they enjoyed a wedding supper then took the train for a trip to Philadelphia. The bride is a daugh- ter of George W. Koch and a very efficient young woman. The bride- groom holds a good position in the railroad shops in Altoona, and it is in that city they will make their home.

The National Air Transport, Inc., a Chicago company which operates the airmail line between Chicago and Dal- las, Texas, will bid for the government contract for carrying the airmail be- tween New York and Chicago, accord- ing to the announcement of Col. Paul Henderson, general manager. The same company has also contracted to fly express planes between New York and Chicago and Chicago and Dallas, beginning April 15th, 1927. Col Hen- derson is credited with having devel- oped the system of signal lights now in use on the government airmail route and which made transcontinental night flying possible. Contracts for the entire route between New York and Chicago will be awarded January 18th. Naturally there will be considerable speculation as to the future of the Bellefonte airmail field. It will be recalled that Mr. Dickerson, of Chi- cago, the oldest pilot in the United States, made a flight over the airmail route several weeks ago, and that was likely in the interest of the National Air Transport, and at the time he stated that if they secured the con- tract they would fly over the same route established by the government and would use the present landing fields. This, at least, is some assur- ance that Bellefonte will continue on the airmail route. And if the com- pany also puts into service express planes it is quite possible that it will mean still greater activity at the Bellefonte field. Graham Stock Co. at Moose Theatre All Next Week. From time to time requests have come to the management of the Moose Temple theatre to book a stock com- pany, and for years they have endeav- ored to get a good one. Plenty of offers have been received from various companies but the man- agement refused them all and waited until they could get a good one. Next week the Graham Stock company, the show with the mark of distinction, will present a Broadway play in a Broadway way every day. This promises a great treat for all. Opening up on Monday night will be “Cheating Husbands,” a comedy dra- matic triumph.
