E
Victory Over Pennington Most
Brilliant of Gridiron Season
, at Pennsburg
7 REGULARS WILL RETURN
Pennsburg, Pa Dec. 8. Notwith
standing the 0-3 setback in the final
game of the season with Bethlehem
Prep, Perklemen Scheel completed the
most successful season in several years.
The Bethlehem game, while a disap
pointment te PcrTtlemcn supporters,
came nt the climax with Pennington
nnd Wyoming en the preceding Satur
days which left the team In peer
physical condition.
The fighting spirit which hed te he
kept nt top-notch for these final games
also sagged after the Perklemen war war
llers had the Bethlehem game wen at
half-time, nnd was unable te meet the
ceme-bnek of the Bethlehem team In
the second half.
It Is te be remembered also that en
the Saturday preceding the Bethlehem
?;ame, while Perklemen was fighting Its
inrdest battle of the season with Wy
oming, Bethlehem was resting.
The largest turn-out of candidates in
the history of Perklemen met the call
nf Coach Hnrtman, and never during
the season did the squad drop below
thirty-five. Many of these were light
and green, however, but made geed re
serve material.
Results Gratifying
The results of the season taken as
n whole are mpst gratifying. Schuyl
kill Seminary, National Farm Scheel
and West Chester Nermal were decis
ively defeated, second and third string
men seeing action in all of these con
tests. The victory ever Pennington Scheel
was perhaps the brightest spot in the
tram's accomplishments.
Pennington lest only te Perklemen.
nnd is at present claiming the cham
pionship of New Jersey, by renseu of
defeating by large margins Borden Berden
town, Rutgers Prep, Princeton Prcu,
BInir, St. Benedicts and Seten Hall,
as well as Williamson Trade Scheel
from this side of the river.
In view of the fact that Hill Scheel
stagee: overwhelming victories ever
Lnwrencevllle, Havcrferd and Hotch Hetch
kill and defeated every opponent nnd
was net scored upon, the score of 14-0
against Perklemen is looked upon with
considerable satisfaction by Perklemen
supporters. This was the lowest score
te which any opponent held Hill Scheel
this season.
Jnst (e Penn Frmh
Wyoming Seminary was held te 0-0.
tin- lowest score a Perklemen team ever
held the up-State eleven in football. An
unlucky fumble gave Wyoming this
score. Penn Fresh merely nosed out
ahead by a one-point margin, the score
being 7-0.
Coach Hnrtman started the season
with only two letter men from ln-t
jear, together with several nubsMtutcs
and scrubs. Perklemen students point
with considerable elation te the fact that
11 nucleus of seven reeulnrs and about
n dozen second-string men are expected j
uacK another year, something which tins
net occurred in Perklemen gridiron
learns sincp before the war.

LEDGER-PHILABEHIA, FRIDAY,
Letters te the Editor
Aliener Who Don't Alien
Te th Editor of lh SvtMna 7uM(e Lttatrt
Sir 1 would like te say n word in
reference te the assessors' lists being
padded. The fact is that 'the assessors
de net go from house te house te get
the names of the residents who hove
moved In nnd moved out. This I knew
te be a fact for leyeral years, and un
less 'there Is a way te force them te de
se there will never be a fair assessment
of the divisions, , , , .
I knew persennlly of n division where
the nfsesser works nt nights nnd did
net hnvc time te go around te the
houses, but Just went out a few hours
In the afternoon nnd inquired at a few
houses In a few streets for names, and
net having time te make the assessment
correct Just get n previous assessors
list artd copied the old list en his new
book and, turned It in. Consequently,
when th! new assessors' list came out
thcre was n mass of names en It whose
owners had moved out of the division
ever two years age and some were dead
ever a year. Consequently, when the
new ones that har moved in came
around te register their names weren t
en the new list and unless they owned
property or hnd tax receipts from ether
parts of the city that were geed their
applications te get their names en the
registry list were refused. I knew of
one apartment that had sixteen voters
and net one was assessed and did net
get te register.

Sir Th a newspapers net many dajs

.lame It. Mnnn, of Illinois, familiarly
known te Congress, ns well as te ethers,
as Jim Mann. The death of this well
known IUInelsan ended twentv-five
years of service in the National Heuse
of Representatives. He was a very In
dustrious and well-informed public
man, nnd he prehablv knew the finer
points nbeut the working of the con cen con
gieslonnl machine better than nny ether
man in Washington. Consequently he
was popular with his associates.

Sees Decadence In Modern Weman
Te the Editor of the Evening Putlle Ledger:
Sir News of the escnpe from prison
of Mrs. Phillips, convicted murderess
of Mrs. Meadows, recalls only tee
vividly the circumstances of a savage
and gruesome crime u crime se awful
In its cruel nnd sordid details as
te huvc as u solitary parallel and pro
totype (nnd thnt entirely fictional)
only In the memorable tragedy where
Hill Sikes ruthlessly strikes down and
kills with a hammer the bleed-battered
and vainly beseeching Nancy.
When one awe recalls the dreadful
Hosier killings, nnd the sordid reveal
ings of the trial, as well as of ether
similar court sittings in which the
accused protagonist was a jeung nnd
charming woman, the meet qujstien
will reassert itself: "Hew can such
things be?"
It furnishes a vast and comprehensive
tliime for speculation, this evolution of
tlie" modern woman. It is a subject for
thought into which new issues nre
automatically forced by unexpected
daily happenings.
There Is a popular hympnthy. at
least In all open discussions, which as
serts iuelf somewhat insistently in be
half of the new wemun nnd her claims
for all kinds of personal freedom. The
rapidity of woman's chnnge in the so
cial status during tlie lust fifty years
has been se unobserved, nnd nt the
same time se radical and even revolu
tionary, na te defy any immediate reali
zation of Its meaning or consequences.
Te deprecntu the seeming decay of
wemnn'a old-tlme gentleness nnd natlve
modesty ; te lament the passing of her
acknowledged high and privileged place
In the home, either ns n devoted wife,
the loyal, helpful and affectionate mar
riage partner of her husband, or ns the
"rejoicing mother of many children"
(te use a scriptural phrase), would be
at least, in many Instances, te invite n
clamorous dissent, or te suffer possible
nnlinndverslnn as being "an old crank"
or "an old fogy,"
And yet there are many who, careless

There Is no "closed season" for salt

In many ether States, the season's epenlnif

IN EVERY organisatien there are

The slacker fancies that he is clever

growth that comes only from effort.
The kind of brains that can only

IT MAY seem a hardship that the

really support the lasy.
Rut they never have te support the

the extra effort they put in en the

And he gobbles up merthln In sight

And he jells In a voice se loud nnd deep.

Beneath the old .tree down the lane,
Afar In ether lands.
It's humble reef will shelter me
Frem every care and pain: .
And life be sweet as sweet can be
When I am home again.
Reme day I'll wander bnck again
Te scene se dear te me.
Te whem sweet Infancy's refrain
Deslde a mother's Knee.
Te live again these happy hours .
Of childhood's merry play;
Ne thorns, but only sweetest flower.
There In llfe'a merry way.
Seme day I'll winder back again
Te hearts s-j kind and true:
Whose cherished faces still remain
In memory's cherished view.
Ne mere my wnyward feet shall ream
Llfe'a drear' pathway o'er.
But In the light and levs of home
Shall rest ferever mere.

Where childhood's home may be:
And memory In sweet refrain
Still sings Its songs te me.
