State College. Pa, Nov. 1S.-Before
g crowd, of 10000 Pennsylvania day
guests Penn State won an easy football
game from Lafayette here yesterday,
10 TO 0. The Easton eleven did not
have a chance to cross States line at
any time. The ball was never ad-
vanced inside the Blue and White
teams 25-yard line. and State didn't
have to exert itself very much to hold
the visitors to three first downs.
In six plays after the opening kick
off Ewing tailed States first touch
down. He circled right end, protected
by splendid interference. and ran ten
yards to the goal line. Hess. Clark
and Robb slipped through and hit the
center for long gains that directly re-
suited in Ewing's score.
1t was only the alertness of Hess,
Captain Clark and Robb that pre-
vented Diamond and Lehr from get
ting away with long runs Lafayette's S

None the Worse For His
High Drive With a Paige

Rolling around the streets of Du-
luth, Mimi, is a Paige touring car
with a record that should entitle 1t to
as we'll as q few blue ribbons for a
come back" stunt so sensational that
1t kept the Duluth citizens talking for
many days.
The Paige in question is owned by
Il. II. Dresser, a railroad official. Mr.
Dresser one day recently was at the
wheel of his car on the famous aerial
bridge that is one of the sights of
Duluth and which, with one exception
in Europe, is the only one of its kind.
Instead of operating a conventional
draw this bridge moves over the water
like a suspended cash carrier.
On this occasion the bridge was
crowded to it's capacity with traffic
and in the jam resulting someone
made a false move that precipitated
Mr.. Dresser and his car, along with a
horse and wagon into the water many
feet below. The Paige fell 43 feet to
the bottom of the canal, where it
rested upside down, with Mr.. Dresser
pinned beneath the wheel. Although
he is 65 years old Mr.. Dresser sue
ceeded in eXtricating himself and
reaching the surface of the water,
where he was rescued. He was badly
bruised and suffered greatly from
shock. The horse of course, was
drowned and the wagon smashed to
kindling wood.
The Paige car was successfully sal
vaged shortly after the accident by
means of block and tackle arrange
ment operated by q salvage company
and was found to be little the worse
for it's plunge, few minor breaks and
smashed tenders and seats comprising
the damage. Just to prove it's re-
operative abilities it was in operation
on the streets of Duluth within few
hours after the accident and its owner
is proudly claiming that he holds the
demonstration record for the pur-
pose of proving endurance and reli-
ability

New Driver Miscalculates
Is Reason For Accidents

Always play it safe,," is the advice
OF E. G. Ensminger, bort distributor
and manager of the Ensminger Motor
Co, of Harrisburg, to the new motor
ist.I According to Mr.. Ensminger most
accidents are the results of miscalcu-
Iation on the drivers part. The in
experienced motorist is the fellow
who usually goes in the ditch because
he has not acquired the instinct or
knack of knowing just the moment to
swerVe his steering wheel or apply
his brakes. obviously dangerous as
railroad crossings are, there seems to
be u fatal fascination in them for the
new driver. Newspaper accounts of
motoring accidents on railroad cross
1ngs are of almost daily occurrence.
The story is practically always the
same-the occupants killed or seri-
ously injured because the driver mis-
calculated.
If the motorist would bear in mind
that train travelling 60'miles an hour
is really moving about 80 feet a sec
ond, and that in the five seconds that
1t will take him to cross the tracks,
the train will have moved about two
city blocks, he would not be so quick
TO rush his car over ahead. But the
motorist doesn't do this. He is de-
celVed by the speed of the train, which
does not seem to be coming so very
fast after all - and he gets into
tiOuplts anu Nllc ItlldThdplc part OIL
1t is that these fellows who get hurt
seldom have any real reason to be in
hurry. In most cases they are driv-
ing along with their families or
friends with all the time in the world
to spare-and yet this fascination of
beating the train over gets them. Mr..
Ensminger's advice of play it safe"
us worth serious inward digestion by
all who drive cars, and particularly by
khe motorist in his driving infancy.
IF you ever get stalled on a rail-
H-oad crossing" says Mr.. Ensminger,
-tand your motor won't start, you can
Hall back upon your starting system
to pull you over. Just throw her in
high, let the clutch in-step on your
starter hard, and keep your foot right
ION it until you are in safety on the
hother side. A thoroughly dependable
starting system like the Westinghouse
which is on the bort, is worth while
fhaving In a pinch like this"

Overland IS First to
Climb Greylock Foot Trail

The new Model S5-Four Overland mo-
torcar has performed the unprecedented
feat of climbing the foot trail up Grey
lock Mountain in the Massachusetts
Berkshires. The test was made by
the Tower Motor Company, Overland
dealers. with a stock car in the pres
enceg of several Berkshire county off,
cials, after a high powered automo-
bile had attempted and failed to make
the climb.
The trail, commonly known as Ches-
hire trail. is a narrow, winding path
way up the side of Greylock Mountain,
AZ miles in length, and is ordinarily
used for foot travel.
In the course of the climb, num-
ber of tire chains were snapped like
strings on the precipitous lodges, but
at the end of the trip, the Overland
car was none the worse for the climb.
