Glee Club Member Tells
Of European Adventures
(Continued from first page)
House of Parliament, the British Mu
seum, Hyde Park, St. Paul's Cathed
ral and Buckingham Palace. A rath
er unusual incident o k urred'iin St.
Paul's which cannot he overlooked.
Among the graves of Wellington, Nel
son, and others of fame, in the low
er cloister of the Cathedral, was f ound
that of Sir Arthur Sullivan, the not
ed 'English composer. The club has
used many of his compositions, and
it was only fair tribute to Sir Ar
thur, that we gather around his
grave and sing his song, "The Long
Day Closes."
While in Stratford-on-Avon we vis
ited Shakespeare's and Ann Hatha
way's homes. That night a. few of
our club members enjoyed the fam
ous play, "Hamlet."
over the purple moors and through
shady avenues of trees. Fine coun
try'-roads lined with thick hedges, so
unlike our own country in that re
sped.. Very small automobiles, steam
trucks, bicycles and motorcycles on
the highway, and all of us doing our
very best to get used to the English
idea of driving on the left hand side
of the road.- •
Farther out in the country, we
passed cozy thatch-roofed homes, sum
mer cottages, polo grounds, lawn ten
nis courts and finally to the little
town of Tavistock. Tavistock, the
birthplace of no other explorer and
adventurer than Sir Francis Drake.
A beautiful monument of the latter
greets the eye as one enters , the
town. The early evening - found us
viewing the harbor. A fourteenth
century lighthouse, old landmarks,
the H. H. S. Hood and other vessels
of the North Atlantic fleet were there.
Front this harbor the Mayflower sailed
ie . : 1620.
:Eieter, the . home of "Old Molts
,House," where Raleigh, Drake and
other seafaring men were accustom
ed to meet and make merry, was our
next stopping point, This house is
a picturesque and rustic structure
built in 1556 and bearing on its in
terior walls the coat of arms of the
royalty, of which its members were
composed.
Hold. First Concert
' Tintagel'is a small town, but thor
oughly enveloped in the history and
legend of King Arthur and his
Knights of the Round Table. Our
first concert was held here under the
shadovis of these legendary men' of
old.
Out of Cornwall we went and back
to Devonshire, the county where they
Always remembered "Devon Cream"
was found. Not . one of us will for
' get the hilly and picturesque seaside
town of Clovelly. One .main
stone street, a mile and a half long,
led down to the sea. In this six hun
•dred year old town, Charles Kings
ley found many settings for his
"Westward Flo."
Again we went through - . Southern
Cornwall, visiting the ancientlown of
Kirkhampton, the home. of the Oren
vines- of Navy fame. We Visited' the
parish church where 'Dr. Gretchel,
our leader, read of the Spanish Ar
mada from Tennyson.
In due time we reached Glaston
.
bury, where, legend tells us, Joseph
of Aremathea struck his staff upon
the ground, whence later sprang the'
Christmas Thorn tree, blossoming at
the Yule tide. A cutting of this tree
is at our national capital in Washing
ton.
The distinctive cathedral at Wells
is known as the most ornate structure
before the 'thirteenth century. The
interesting Roman Baths at Bath are
noted for their healing powers since
800 B. C., where to this day, miner
al waters flow at a temperature of
120 degrees Fahrenheit. We visited
Tintern Abbey, now a mass of ruins.
The white limestone and flint ruins
of Old SaruM are all that remain
of an old Roman fortress. -The old
palate of Windsor, on the sight of a
castle built by William the Conquer
or, is now a royal palace full of the
spoils of war and . presents to the
Kings and Queens of England that
have been handed down thropgh the
nee.
Arrive in London
At last we reached London, the
Neal York of England. No skyscrap
ers are there but the streets' are lit-
eraliy filled with red, 'double-decked
busies. Before long Trafalgar
Square, the Strand, and Piccadilly
Circus became old friends.
Days were passed visiting Old Lon
don. Tower, Westminster Abbey, the

August twenty-fourth .found us in
Paris, after we had had•a quiet mid
night crossing of the channel. Day
trips took us - to Versailles, to. visit
the ancient and royal palace of King
Louie XIV and the Wautiful and
spectacular fountains which, for
tunately, were playing the Sunday
we were there. The Arc de Triumph,
the Unknown Soldier's grave, Mont
Martre, Notre Dame, the Tomb of
Napoleon, all' afforded us entertain
ment. More must be said of the
Louvre. Here we found the original
of Venus de Milo, the Victory of
Samothace, Lenard() da Vinci's Mona
Lisa and paintings• of Rubens, Van
Dyke, Rembrandt, Steen, Hall, and .
others.
In the. evenings, well, the Polies
Bergere, the Casino, the Dome, Joe
Zellie's where our own orchestra play
ed. one night, provided entertainment.
The wines,- cocktails, and highballs of
Paris won-rather unanimous appror
al, also a number of French
.girls.
One day was spent visiting . the bat
tlefields of Reims, Chateau] Thierry,
and Fisnes. In Fisnes, the State' of
Pennsylvania has erected a jonument
to our boys of the 28th Division who
fell there. Quentin Roosevelt's grave
was seen there. •

August thirty-first found us head-.
ing northward by train to Brussels,
Belgium. We managed to pass
through' customs without losing SOlll2
Champagne we had purchased at the
wine cellar at Reims. Our stay in
Brussels was limited to a short trip
a'round the city. We were quite for
tunate in that we saw the King and
Queen of Belgium as they were re
taining from a three •months• trip to
Belgium Congo. In Antwerp we were
afforded an opportunity to see some
of the • finest specimens of • Belgium
and Dutch art.
Visit the Hague
Ever northward, through the fiat,
canal streaked, and windmill marked
country of Holland to The Hague.
Here the Peaci Palace was the main
attraction. The foundation. of this
palace is credited to Andrew Carnegie,
and is constructed and decorated with
the main products of every country
in the .world.
A trip to the beach of Scheveningen
on the North Sea afforded an oppor
tunity for swimming and bicycle rid
ing. At the Casino, our orchestra
played some American music and'be
fore the coming of the daivn, the man
agement offered the•group a contract.

Frosh Football Team
Commence Scrimmages
(Continued from first page)
sent in a new offensive team after giv
ing the first group thirty minutes of
scrimmage.
Under the able leadership of Lohr
at quarter the backfitdd men were
scat through some fast paces in line
bucking and end runs. Lohr not only
distinguished himself as a signal
caller but has shown prowess in side ,
stepping, dodging and carrying the
ball. Crust of Bellefonte is also a
clever line-plunger and broken field
unner and with a little mori groom
ing by Dinger Dangerfield, yearling
backfield coach, should land a 'berth
on the first team before the season
opens.' Transue of Blair Academy
and Smith both charge well and are
good - interfernce nien.
Good Line Material
Dutch Hermann has an abundance
of 'center, gUard, tackle and end ma
terial froth which to mold a strong
line. Several of the linemen were
outstanding in Saturday's practice.
Engel, product of Williamsport high,
and Bauman of Atlantic City, both
centers, are accurate passers and
have a knack of breaking up plays
run in their direction.
Hamilton, West Philadelphia high
school flash, and Stempec, of Turtle
Creek, repreatedly stopped plays at
guard and were equally efficient .in
opening great gaps,. in . the opposing
line for the ball-carriers. So far
Gillard of Clairton and Hibler, Hack
ettstown. New Jersey, representatives
have filled the tackle posts capably.
Both are deadly tacklers and when
playing a defensive game are adept
at making way for the . backs.

Gentlemen:
I have a mania for crawli g through
a number of unexplored c verns be
tween the towns of Woo( stock and
Mt. Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley, -
One cave was exceedingly dangerous
with its tight passages, eth. I spent
three hours in this ; cavity, groping
blindly with a." dead " flashlight and
a severeclguiding String. •
.To cut my story short, I was finally
'rescued by a searching party after a
terrible experience. It as a wonder
ful feeling as I sat at the' mouth of the ..,
cavern telling my friends that I would
not go back in there for love nor
money. I meant it—until I reached
for my can of Edgeworth. It was gone,
and I recalled dropping something
during the exciteinent in the have.
It is queer what a man will do when
his favorite tobacco is concerned. I
realized that' without my tobacco it
would be as bad as being lost in the
cavity—so I crawled back.
It was a grand and glorious feeling
as my baud came in contact with the
Aristocrat of Tobacco.
