PENN COLLEGE

Penn College students, with the
spirit and the determination that has
characterized the student body have
added another item to the program
of accomplishment that has marked
the history of the institution this
year and a fine new concrete dam
for the skating pond along the north
of the campus stands as monu-
ment to the energy, the determination
and the endurance of the workers.
Year after year the college Athlete
Association and the college manage
ment has been called upon to expend
considerable cash in building new
dam or in repairing the old structures
of clay and earth. This method has
been expensive and discouraging.
After consultation and conference
with the college authorities this fall
permaent dam was agreed upon.
Material would be furnished by the
college if the college students, mem.
bers of the athletic association,
would do the work of building the
dam. The work of necessity must
be completed in one day and the task
was of colossal proportions. The
dam structure is one hundred and
twenty-eight feet in length, end to
end siXty-four feet face and with
two wings thirty-two feet each at
both sides. The work is twenty inch
es wide at the bottom and fourteen
to sixteen at the top, and five to six
feet high Eighty tons of sand and
ten tons of cement were handled by
company of between thirty and forty
students, working continuously
through a period of twelve hours.
Forms for the concrete dam were
built by the students under compe-
tent direction. The Carbon Construc-
ton company furnished one of their
concrete mixers and man to oper'
ate the same. Men took turns at
shoveling, wheeling and packing and
from little after nine o'clock in the
morning the work progressed steadily
until between nine and ten o'clock at
night whe the work was completed.
Although unable to take hand IN
the real work of construction the col
lege girls showed their loyalty and
interest by furnishing dinner and
supper for the tired workers. The
progress of the work was watched
during the day and evening by
crowds of students. faculty members
and many townspeople.

BUGGY and Auto Collide.

Narrow escape from what might
have been serious injury was expert
enced Monday evening at the inter
section of A avenue and North Third
street when an automobile driven by
Howard Cox and vehicle driven by
a son OF Jake Krizer of northeast OS'
kaloosa collided with considerable
force. A wheel Of the buggy was
torn off and some other damage was
done but most fortunately for all con
cerned no one was injured. The ac-
cident occurred about the middle of
the intersecting streets in the shade
of the overhanging arc lamp and was
one of those accidents for which no
one Is blameworthy.

FOOT BALL

o. II. S. 6; r. II. S. o.

| A place kick by Art Strouse in the
first quarter and drop kick by Cap
tain Cartwright in the third quar-:
ter won hard fought battle for Os-
kaloosa high school from the Fair
field eleven Saturday afternoon at
the Penn College campus. The game
was witnessed by large crowd Of
admirers of the maroon and white,
and all present were overjoyed at
THE outcome. The locals line was as
strong as stone wall and the only
gains that the visitors were success
full in making were made ON fake
plays. The local backs occasionally
found holes in the Fairfield line and
went through for big leads. The
game was punting duel between
Russell and Angstead, and the local
lad had little the best of the argu.
ment. He punted from twenty-five
yards to fifty yards and all the punts
were high enough to let the ends go
down on them. Both teams worked
the forward pass successfully and
most of the gains were made on this
play. The visitors presented num-
Der of fake plays that worked to their
advantage. The locals had the pig
skin within five yards of the goal on
| five different occasions, but they
we're either held for downs or missed
drop kicks. The visitors never
threatened the locals goal at any
stage of the game and did not even
get within kicking distance of it..
The change in the local lineup that
was made Saturday proved big sue
cess and all of the men worked bet
ter in their new positions. Anderson
at end played star game. He receiV'
ed forward passes successfully sever
al times and broke up many OF the
opponents plays. Gillette, who was
shifted into the line from the back
| field, played an excellent game at his
new position. He showed up better
| in Saturdays game in the line than
| he has in previous games and he
broke up the visitors plays almost as
soon as they were started. The back
! field was stronger and faster Satur'
day than it has been this season.
Cartwright secured several of the
opponents forward passes and he al.
ways found hole in their line. Mil
Ter also played star game for the
locals, his tackling being feature.
Price at center also played a good
game. The locals made their first
| points after ten minutes of play. The
ball was near the twenty-five yard
! line, and Strouse was called to make
place kick. The ball was at an
angle with the goal posts, but he de.
| livered the goods and the pigskin
| cleared the bars by fifteen feet. They
made the other three points in the
third quarter, a drop kick by Garth.
wright from the seventeen-yard line.
Fleagle, of the visitors played a star
game, fighting from the start to the
| finish. He made several nice tack
les and broke up several of the To-
Gals plays. In summing up the game
the locals outplayed the visitors and
they we'll deserved the victory. The
lineup and score:
