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.
