Quite Little Romance.
The departure of Miss Anna Harvey,
of the Bloomfield school, Monday night for
San Francisco, was the result of an engage
ment of several years standing between
her and Mr.. Thomas Rowe. After their en-
gagement Mr.. Rowe went to San Francisco
to engage in business, where he has pros
pered exceedingly. Two years ago the
nuptial knot between them was to have
been tied, and all preparations were
made for the marriage, when Miss
Harvey's father became i'll. She would
not leave him in his illness, and SO the cere-
mony had to be postponed. At one OF the
principal cities between here and San Fran
cisco, Miss Harvey and her future husband
will meet and be welded, the two then 60
ing to California. The Board of Directors OF
the Bloomfield school have presented her
with handsome testimonial.
A State College Budget.
The schedule of the Pennsylvania Col
lcge Football Association gives the games to
the Pennsylvania State College, ono of
which may be played in Altoona, owing to
the interest taken in the game. The State
College eleven has strength and staying
qualities, but lacks in training. The Presi-
dent is making an effort to secure a gym
nasium director, part of whose duties
would be to train the football men. The
v
grounds, fitted up at cost Of $1,000. furnish
excellent opportunities for athletic train
ing. The track has been occupied for the
past fortnight by the eleven and reserves,
who run at A. NJ. each morning.
Tuesday night over 100 Freshies and Sophs
gathered upon the athletic grounds in old
clothes expecting the annual canerush, but
owing to a threat of the football Captain to
release any player who endangered himself
in the rush, it was abandoned, and the bot
tled-up animosity of the classes must find
vent in less dangerous contest at football.
The classes are practicing at $50 each even
ing for this, possibly the only class game OF
the year.
The annual cider treat of the Sophs was
celebrated last week, and that leaves few
"cuStoms" until the time for the masquerade

thorities are pleased that there has been no
hazing, especially in the event of Fresh
man class of 30 and so much haZing in some
other colleges. There has been none here
for years.
