Only rain could bust up the foot
ball schedule for Harrisburg this
afternoon and at II o'clock the at
mosphere looked very tricky. The
Bellefonte Academy boys, husky as q
stone fence, hove in view a little
before that hour, and were met by
Athletic Manager Percy Grubb. The
visitors appeared Ito be mighty con-
fident but of course, they had not
had a squint yet at Carl Beck,
Buddy" Lingle, Captain Elmer and
such like.
Grubb announced that Eugene
(Shorty) Miller would be responsible
for the refereeing, and he seemed to
think that this would be the hardest
game for Tech Of the season. Cole
man was out of the lineup, and the
festive brass band was so crippled
by absences that 1t did not jazz quite
as lively as usual.
The schedule provided a game be-
ginning at 100 twiXt Scrubs and
Hershey 4. c., and the big game at
sharp; admission 35 cents.
The Academy team had arranged
to play with Lancaster Stevens Trade
school, and Coach Rudisill gathered
his squad together at an early hour
for final practice. There was plenty
of ginger in the Academy bunch, a
lively mass meeting of students yes
terday bringing out the pep. Man

Williamsport was the destination

aware of the task in view. Williams
port always plays its head off in any

prove a formidable foe for Tech on
Thanksgiving Day. Thus far their
performance has not been of big
league caliber.
