Today's Fe Sunn Cool, ecast: VOL. 59. No. 36 e Hurts Left Knee; Gilmo Will e Out Indefinitely That injury jinx which has been devastating to Penn State's football team this fall claimed another victim yester day—left halfback Bruce Gilmore, the Lions' leading ground gainer. Gilmore suffered a "very bad knee sprain" in a scrimmage session Tuesday afternoon, and according to Team Physician Dr. Alfred E. Griess, the crack speed- ster will probably be lost for the ] season. "He will definitely miss the next three games," Griess said, "and with only four games to go, I don't have much hope for him playing any more football for Penn State. "He hurt the same knee—his left—which was operated on last Easter," Griess added. "We took the inside cartiladge out at that time, but now the trouble is in the ligaments. He may even' need another operation for this injury, but I won't be sure of that for a couple of days." Coach Rip Engle was very downhearted over the loss of his fleet halfback. "I'm really sick about the injury," Engle said yesterday. "He had been doing so well out there and now this The men are: Dallas - R.

The Senate Committee on Academic Standards said the veterans must meet the general requirement of the physical education program. By DON CASCIATO The Old Main sexton wasn't responsible for the silence of the chimes over the weekend. The quietness was due to a switch on an amplifier in Old I Main which was turned the wrong way. It is believed that this might have happened when the clocks were turned back an hour last Sunday for the end of daylight saving time. The chimes started ringing again yesterday at 3:45 p.m. after ) their 3-day layoff. Robert W. Knouse, utilities projects engineer, discovered the switch that was turned in the wrong position. Unfortu nately three tubes were re placed in the amplifier before Knouse noticed the switch that connects the clock with the elec trical system wasn't in its prop er position. He said however that the tubes would have need ed replacing soon anyway. Knouse wasn't able to tend to, 4the job until this afternoon when, a Collegian reporter inquired t about the absence of the "sounds".; Knouse had been away in Phila-; delphia for several days on oth-; er business.

Eight speak ers ,a small motor, and faces of the clocks are the only apparatus in the tower in top of Old Main. The rest of the equipment,— the clock mechanism, electrical apparatus and amplifier—are all in a room underneath the tower on the fourth floor of Old Main.
