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. Custa

students—must complete four semesters of physical education classes.
The Senate Committee on Academic Standards said the veterans must meet the
general requirement of the physical education program.

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.
The reporter, who, was permit- I
ted to accompany Knouse on the
repair job, discovered that little
of the bell apparatus is in the
tower of Old Main. 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.
Knouse said he is waiting for
new equipment, which will re
,place the present speakers and
;amplifiers that are 30 years old.
!The new materials Will cost $lOOO.
