College won tho Cnthollo school champion
ship of this city this morning by defeating
tho Catholic High School eleven, 19 to 0.

a mass of mud.
The weight of the victor was such that
It had little dimculty smashing Its lighter
opponent's line. Tha Purple and Gold was
outweighed almost fifteen pounds to tho
man. but the playors fought a hard, aggres
sive battle.
Tho first touchdown was scored at the
start of the Becond porlod, when Wlegand,
after a series of line smashes, crashed
through right tackle tor the score. A long
forward pass, Wlegand to Bums, good for
2C yards, made the second score.
Line plunging, intermingled with severnl
short forward passes over the line of scrim
mage, was responsible for the third and
last touchdown. The Catholic High lino
made a valiant stand In tho shadow of its
goal posts, but the terrific line plunging of
Wlegand and Grlbben proved too much for
them. The latter scored the touchdown on
the fourth down.
A crowd of 6000 witnessed the game, the
stands belr.g packed long before play was
started.
Only one penalty was Inflicted during the
game and St. Joseph was tho culprit.

OF INSURANCE
Will Recommend Stringent
. Measures in Message to
Legislature
PROBE SURE IF NEEDED
Oovernor Brumbaugh declared today he
will urge the enactment of tho most
stringent Insurance taws In his next mes
sage to tho Legislature. Tho Governor
will Insist on the enactment of laws which
will give full protection to every policy
holder In Pennsylvania,
Oovernor Brumbaugh also will probably
urge the Legislature to order n sweeping In
vestigation of Insurance conditions In tho
State. Tho proposed nction of Governor
Brumbaugh, together with tho announce
ment that Mayor Smith would order an
Investigation of the policy Insurance
scandal In Philadelphia, caused a double
sensation In ofllclal circles today, especially
when It became tynown that Seth H. U'hlte
ley had been named by another Insurance
man as the "mysterious philanthropist,"
who cleaned up approximately $100,000 by
Insuring members of the Police Beneficiary
Association In this city.
Should an Investigation be conducted to
ascertain the present business methods of
Pennsylvania Insurance companies. Gover
nor Brumbnugh believes that Charles Evans
Hughes or somo Fennsylvanlan of the 1st
ter'a typo .would make an excellent In
quisitor.
DENIES TOUTICS IN CASE
Governor Brumbaugh, who today Is at
his home, 251 West Walnut lane, German
totvn, denied that potltlci was behind the
Investigation Into the affairs of tho Pen
sion Mutual Life Insurance Company and
the Union Casualty Insurance Company.
The stand taken by State Insuance
Commissioner J, Denny O'Nell to make n
thorough Inquiry, no matter who la im
plicated In the present State-wide Insur
ance scandal, will be backed up by the
Governor,
'I wish you would deny tho stories that
politics figures In the Investigation now
being conducted by Commissioner O'Nell,"
said Governor Brumbaugh, as he empha
sized each word of his statement,
"There Is no politics In the present In
quiry, but. In Justice to Mr, Wood, I wish
to say that he will be treated fairly and
just. He will receive tho same fair treat-
