GALLITZIN HIGH TAKES
NORTH CAMBRIA TITLE
Loretto — Gallitzin Hign clinched
the championship of the Northern
Cambria League and the right to com-
pete in the District 6 eliminations by
defeating Patton High, 34-28, in a play-
off for the league title at St. Francis
College floor last Friday night.
During the regular league campaign,
which ended last week, Gallitzin won
the Section 1 title and Patton defeated
Barnesboro earlier in the week at St.
Francis’ in a playoff of a deadlock for
Section 2 honors.
Friday night's triumph added an-
other link to one or the finest records
ever compiled by a Gallitzin quinted.
It was the 20th victory in 22 starts for
the league champs. Cresson and Por-
tage were the only teams to turn the
tables on the champs and both of
these reverses were avenged.

GIVEN TERM IN PEN FOR
CARROLLTOWN THEFTS
Maximum sentence of five to 10
years in the Western Penitentiary was |
imposed Monday by Judge Charles C.
Greer on James D. Delaney of Elmora,
after the latter had pleaded guilty ta
entering the rooms of the Fox-Peale
Legion Home Association at Carroll-
town on August 28 A similar plea was
entered by Francis Weakland, also of
Elmora, who admitted robbing the cluk
with Delaney and obtaining $37 in cash
and liquor valued at $25. Weakland, :
who is tubercular, was ordered by
Judge Greer to return to Mt. Alto San-
itorium, where he had been a patient.
Judge Greer imposed sentence on
Delaney after Pvt. Leo Miller, of the
Ebensburg substation of the State Mo-
tor Police testified that the defendant
had served 13 years in state penal in-
stitutions on robbery charges. The two
men were arrested by Miller and
County Detective Charles Cowan and
Chief of Police W. A. Blum of Car- |
rolltown. Weakland admitted the char-
i Bernadine Friedhoff, 18, Cresson, hip
| injury and body bruises.

Miss Lotito and Conrad were taken
to the Altoona Hospital, while their
three companions were treated at the
office of Dr. H. T. Prideaux, Cresson.
| According to Pvt. T. J. Arthur, of
the Ebensburg detail of State Motor
Police, the five young people were
| walking along tha highway enroute to
‘a skating rink when struck by a car
operated by Carl E. Davis, East Cone-
maugh Borough. The accident occured
shortly after 8 o‘clock.
Davis told the officer he was driving
with his lower-beam headlights on due
to approacing traffic and did not see
| the five, walking abreast, on the high-
| way until he was almost upon them.
The operator of the car was reported
to have swerved his machine in an
attempt to avoid striking them, but
| due to the muddy condition of the
i highway—caused by trucks pulling on
the road from a gasoline station—his
auto skidded when he applied the bra-
kes and struck the pedestrians.
