Bellefonte High Downs Huntingdon
by 35 to 24 Score.
Three hundred members of the
Bellefonte High school and other sup-
porters of the football team motored
to Huntingdon, last Friday, and wit-
nessed the victory of the local team
over the Huntingdon High school
by the score of 35 to 24. It was the
Jnost thrilling game played this sea-
son. pet :
Huntingdon scored a touchdown in
the first two minutes of play through
several long runs, and a short time
later a Huntingdon halfback caught
a forward pass and escaping the eri-
tire Bellefonte backfield scored anoth-
er touchdown. Both goals were mis-
sed.
Bellefonte then unleashed a drive
which continued unabated almost the
entire length of the field and enabled
Heverly to score a touchdown. In the
same quarter a second touchdown was
made on Bodle’s fine handling of a
forward pass. Harnish kicked both
goals.
In the second half Huntingdon took
the lead but Bellefonte came back
with two more touchdowns, only to be
followed shortly after by Huntingdon
tallying another. Bellefonte then
made another, which ended the scor-
ing.
Heverly, Crust, Confer and Bodle
were the Bellefonte stars on the of-
fensive while Harnish, Knisely and
Wasson were stone walls on defense.
Huntingdon spirit was at its best and
treatment of the Bellefonte contingent
was fair and cordial.
This week the High team has been
getting in shape for the Tyrone High,
on Hughes field, tomorrow afternoon.
Game will start at 2:30 o'clock. As
this is another conference game Belle-
fonte will play its hardest to win, as
so far it is the only undefeated team.
Four hundred reserve seat tickets
were placed on sale at Zeller’s drug
store on Wednesday. Buy one and see
the game in comfort.
STATE FRESH DEFEAT ACADEMY.
Up at State College, on Saturday
morning, the State College Freshmen
defeated the Bellefonte Academy 21
te 0. Bellefonters who saw the game
aver that the Academy was the vie-
tim of a series of bad breaks and what
looked to the men on the sidelines as
unjust decisions, for which, however,
neither the Freshmen nor College au-
thorities were to blame.
STATE WON OVER LAFAYETTE.
The big surprise of Saturday was
State’s decisive defeat of Lafayette.
The Centre county boys were suppos-
ed to have the edge on the Maroon
and White but no one anticipated such
an overwhelming score as 40 to 6; and
Lafayette’s lone tally was made only
after second string men replaced
State’s first team. Capt. John Roepke
was the scintillating star of the game,
scoring 27 of the forty points, and
now holds second place in points
scored by eastern college players.
Vote for Stover and Garbrick
for County Auditors.
Movement for New Reformed Church
at State College.
At the annual meeting of the East-
ern Synod of the Reformed church,
held in Lancaster last week, a request
was made for a campaign to raise
$75,000 for the erection of a new mis-
sion church at State College. It was
suggested that the funds be raised at
the annual home mission day on Sun-
day, November 13th.
“There is no greater challenging
home mission project facing the
church than this,” asserted the Rev.
F. K. Stamm, of Reading, a former
pastor of the Faith Mission at State
College. “Students do go to church
and we must have faith and confidence
in youth. There is no greater work
than to help young men and women
think themselves through religious
problems.”

HARRY E. DUNLAP.
In introducing Harry E. Dunlap to
the Democats of Centre county as |
their candidate for Sheriff, we want
to say that he is not only a big man
physically, but big in everything that
enters into the making of a true
American.
A son of the late John L. and Mar-
garet Dunlap he was born in Belle-
fonte in 1891. His father in early
life was a school teacher and later
became a carpenter. He also served
two terms as County Commissioner
and was also elected as a member. of
borough council, and it was only na-
tural that his children should imbibe
some of the spirit of true home gov-
ernment. Harry was educated in the
public schools of Bellefonte, but being
a member of a large family had no
opportunity to go to college.
His school days over he went to
work with George
concrete contractors, and with his
usual adaptation and thoroughness
learned the business and eventually
embarked in business for himelf. For
some time past he has also been en-
gaged in the manufacture of the Dun-
lap concrete burial vault, in which he
has been fairly successful.
In April, 1917, when President
Wilson declared the United States in
a condition of war with Germany and
it was evident that we would have to
send an army into France for partic-
ipation in the World war. Mr. Dunlap
was quick to respond by enlisting in
Troop L., Bellefonte’s contingent of
the National Guard: He went with
the: troop to Camp Hancock, Ga.,
where he trained for service, going to
Rhoads & Son,
+ where he worked six years.
B. F. BOAL.
Benjamin Franklin Boal, Democrat-
ic candidate for Register, has got the
, back-ground of an illustrious name,
and his whole life has been such as
to justify the support of every mem-
ber of his party. Mr. Boal has been
somewhat handicapped in his cam-
paign during the past several weeks
because of the death of his father-in-
law, the late jury commissioner John
iD. Decker, and which has prevented
+him from getting around over the
county as much as he would have liked
,to do. Because of this fact he makes
this appeal for support.
{ Mr. Boal is a native of Benner
township, a son of John and Mary
Ann McGinley Boal, and was born on
March 30th, 1875; so that he has
reached the age of good judgment
rand diseretion. He was educated in
i the public schools of Benner township
and at the ‘old Normal school at |
Pleasant Gap. :
| As a young man he went to Som-
erset county where he worked for
the Babcock Lumber company. In
{1902 he accepted employment with
the Pennsylvania * Railroad company
He was
;an overseer at Rockview penitentiary
i two years and for the past six or more
i
| years has been engaged in truck |
farming.
Mr. Boal is well equipped in every |
iway to fill the office of Register of
Wills, and the voters will make no
mistake in supporting him.
France in May, 1918. Two months"
0. J. STOVER.
Down in Liberty township lives a
,man who the people of that locality
{ have entrusted for years with the im-
‘portant office of tax collector. They
have done so because he is a business
man and realizes that the collection
of taxes is an important matter. The
man in question is O. J. Stover, one
of the Democratic candidates for
County Auditor. In this connection
we wish to state that auditing the’
county accounts is not merely adding
up figures and making a statement of
the year’s expenses. The Auditors
have the last say on the expenditures.
They have the power to approve bills
or reject them, if they deem the ex-
i penditure irregular, unlawful or un-
necessary, and it is because of this
fact that a good business man such
as Mr. Stover is, would make a wise
"auditor.
Mr. Stover is a native of Blanchard
and for many years has conducted
the Blanchard house, in that place,
the only real temperance hotel in Cen-
tre county. He is a progressive citi-
zen and, if elected, will make an audi-
tor that the taxpayers can depend on
as being thorough, upright and con-
scientious. This is the reason you
‘should support Mr. Stover.

PLETCHER.—Nathaniel G. Pletch-
er died at his home at Howard on
Saturday, October 22nd, as the result
of a stroke of paralysis sustained two.
weeks previous, aged 77 years. He
was a native of Howard township and
had lived there all his life. During
his early life he followed carpenter-
ing but of late years had been engag-
ed in farming. .
He was twice married, his first
: wife having been Miss Emily Mann, of
Romola. Four children, all living,
were the result of this union, Harry
and Lewis Pletcher, of Howard town-
ship; Thomas A., of Howard, and
. Charles, of Curtin. Following the
death of his first wife he married
Miss Alice Miller, of Beech Creek,
who survives with three children,
| Herbert, of Detroit, Mich.; Blair and
| Trena, at home. He also leaves three
' brothers, David and Christ Pletcher,
of Howard, and Linn, of Howard
township.

church of Christ and the funeral
services, on Tuesday afternoon of
the Democratic ticket this year, one last week were held in the Christian

ing his living out of the soil, is Har- boro, was in charge and was assist-
of Altoona, was In
ry E. Garbrick, candidate for County
Auditor. He lives on his own farm
in Spring township, several miles
east of Bellefonte, and is clean-cut
in every respect.
A son of J. J. and Anna Fryberg-
in Benner township in 1880. He was
educated in the schools of Spring
township and at the Normal, at Pleas- :
ant Gap. When he completed his
schooling he spent several years on
the farm then went to Altoona and
spent five years working in the rail-
road shops. But the lure of the open
air was in his veins and in 1907 he
returned to Centre county and engag-
"ed in farming.
He has served as secretary of the
Spring township board of road super-
visors, by appointment, and this is
the first time he has ever aspired to
an elective office.
Mr. Garbrick married Miss Clara
Gentzel, a daughter of the late Henry
Gentzel and they have four children.
| The eldest son is a graduate of Penn
, State and now holds a good position
in Ohio. A vote for Harry E. Gar-
, brick will be a vote towards putting
a worthy man in an important office.

“Two Arabian Knights” Coming to
The Scenic.
“Two Arabian Knights” is finished
and picture-goers will soon see Wil-
liam Boyd in his first major screen
appearance since his performance in
“The Volga Boatman.” This time
the popular young star plays a com-
edy role, for “Two Arabian Knights”
is a war-time story with most of the :
war, but none of the laughs, left out.
“Two Arabian Knights” comes to the
Scenic next Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday.
It was made under the supervision
of John W. Considine, Jr., for Caddo
Productions, a new United Artists
unit, headed by Howard Hughes. Di-
rector Lewis Milestone, who came
into prominence only a short time
ago with “The Cave Man,” has tried
to make a swiftly-moving picture of
hilarious situations into which a first
sergeant and a private get when
they escape a German prison camp,
in Arab disguise. fn spite of their
efforts, they land in Arabia and both
fall in love with an Emir’s daugh-
ter. Then the fun begins.
Mary Astor plays the girl, while
Louis Wolheim takes the chief char-
acter role, that of Sergeant Peter Mc-
Gaffney.
“I made the picture especially for
those who were in the war and those
who weren’t,” says the director, smil-
ing. Matinees Wednesday and Thurs-
