This will be the eighth meeting
between Pitt and Syracuse grid
teams. The series opened back in
1916, the year the Pauthers had
their great team. Syracuse also
had a wonderful combination that
season, its lineup including almost
exclusively men Of all-American
caliber.
Before the battle, the Syracusans
were generally picked to win, and
the game was ranked first in i'm
portance in the East that Satur-
day afternoon. Walter Camp and
other noted football men were in
attendance, and they saw Pitt wipe
up the gridiron with the Orange
men, the final score being 500.
Syracuse was completely subdued,
and Pitts achievement was hailed
as one Of the outstanding feats OF
great vampaign.
In 1917 the game was played
at Forbes Field, and Pitt was
again q winner, the final score
being $50. No game was played
in 1918 on account OfVt the war,
but relations were resumed In
1919, the contest being staged In
this city, and Syracuse winning
by the count Of "a to 3.
In 1920 the scene shifted back to
the Salt City, and the result was a
TT tie. In 1921 Syracuse was con-
quered here by the score Of IS to
o, and in 1922, OF Syracuse, the
Panthers won by the count Of FL
to II.
Last year the battle was staged
at the Yankee Stadium in New
York city, and the Orange eleven
won by the close score of 5 to 0.
Johnny Mcbride, one Of the great
est fullbacks in the country, and q
Bellefonte Academy product, kicked
a field goal for the only points
made in the game.
This year Syracuse has one OF
the greatest teams in her history,
and is considered. one of the out
standing elevens in the East. Last
years lineup is almost intact, ex-
cept for Pete MacRea, Allegheny
High School star end, who was
captain of the 1923 combination,
and Zimmerman, the big back.
However, in the backfield will be
found Simmons. Foley, the won
derful Chester Bowman, all-around
luminary, and Mcbride, quar-
tet which any opponent might
well fear.
Syracuse is conceded to have
tremendous driving power and a
stone-wall defense, and Pitt will
have to rise to hitherto unat-
tanned heights If the Mechanics
are to be beaten.

.Haughton was one Of the most.
beloved characters in football. Not
only was he loved because Of his
genial personality and sunny ais
position, but he was loved most OF
all because for the clean sports
manship that he stood for. Football
has never had q character that
surpassed the fine qualities OF
Percy d. Haughton. His memory
is going to live long with everyone
that ever came into contact with
him.
II has been written that man can
not give any greater evidence OF
his loyalty than his life. Percy D.

and character builders. He was
extremely successful in developing

Of learning.
It may have been after his re-
turn to Harvard to take up the
lob OF putting his alma mater
back on the football map that
Haughton first began to receive
universal recognition. After TAX
ing many liclxings at the hands of
the Ellis, the Crimson officials de-
cided to look about for a mentor
to instruct in the quality of game
that would turn the tide in the
Crimson's favor. After thor
oJlgh survey Percy d. Haughton
was selected as the possessor Of
the best football brains among
Harvard men.
Almost from the very outset
OF his task success smiled upon
seasons Harvard had wrested the
Blue rivals and established them
selves at the very apex OF the
football world.
''P. D." then began to look about
for some business upon which to
direct his efforts. The career OF
a football coach is not a very sub
stantial one nor is it a profitable
occupation.
After establishing himself in the
bond and brokerage business up in
Boston the sport fever began to
invade his veins. The result was
that he headed a syndicate that
purchased the Boston Braves. He
was elected president of the Hub

recommendation of the senate COM
mlttee investigating affairs of the vet
Grams bureau reflect practically every
recommendation of the fifth annual
convention OF the American Legion in
regard to care of disabled veterans.
Inns is Shown by the announcements
OF the committee, which Indicate that
on the major points sought by the Le-
glon rehabilitation committee legisla-
1--WE recommendation will be offered
TO congress for action.
First of the recommendation to CO.
lnclde with the Legion's views is
Iufther decentralization of bureau af-
Ialrs seen in the plan suggested for es-
taDllShment of rating boards in every
district and subdistrict for the pur-
pose OF hearing claimants in person.
Ihis has long been a Legion conten-
ton.
Another of the Legion's recsmmen-
cations suggested in the committee re-
port is that disability of service origin,
short of permanent disability, be no
bar to reinstatement of war risk in
surance.
Legion suggestions further Included
IN the report are increase of pay for
disabled veterans with children, to
WIDOWS OF veterans with children. and
double compensation for women who
lost a son and husband or two sons
In service; allowance for housekeep-
ers for totally helpless veterans retro
active reduction in compensation be
forbidden except in case of fraud in
crease in burial expenses for INDECENT
veterans; opening of hospitals to vet
Grams of all American campaigns; sus-
pension of compensation payments to
guardians of insane veterans who fail
to render proper accounting of funds +;
and that disputed claims on war risk
Insurance may be taken to the courts
for judgment
Among the most important of the
suggestions made which are in line
with the Legion policy or rehabilita-
ton, is that if tuberculosis or mental
diseases developed within three years
after discharge, these shall be pre-
sumed to be of service origin, which
opens the way to compensation for
thousands of veterans; and the Legion
further suggests that the hospitals be
thrown open to all veterans suffering
from mental disease or tuberculosis
without demanding proof that such
disease was of service origin.
Directions of the Legion's fight for
care Of the disabled veteran is in
charge of the national rehabilitation
committee, which maintains a large
force in the national capital, with an
active service bureau in touch with
the central bureau office and liaison
officials and committees in every dis
trict and subdistrict.

Much Discussion OUer
National Prize Essay

The essay of Lambert Slominski Of
Greenbush, Mimi, submitted as state
winner in the national essay contest Of
the American Legion, caused a contro-
versy to arise between H. J. Steel,
chairman of the department American
ism commission of the American Lee
gion and several critics of the lads
composition
Slominski, a schoolboy of sixteen,
wrote on the Legion's announced SUBJ
iect, "Why America Should Prohibit
immigration for Five Years" His
essay was adjudged best in his state
and as consequence was given wide
publicity. One of the points made by
the boy was that ability of Slavic and
Mediterranean subraces to maintain
free institutions and democratic gov
eminent is questionable.
This called forth much criticism,
particularly from representatives of
those races. One letter from Rev. v.
F. Mikolasek of Lankin, N. D., declared
that the CZechoslovak race, Of which
ne Is a member, maintained free insti-
tutions long before America was dis
covered. This is, of course, very true,
according to history.
But Chairman Steel cited the fact
that these people have for several
generations been under the domina-
lions of despotic monarchs and PEG
Piles. They have not been able to con-
tinue their institutions Of learning,
their forms Of free government. Steel
maintained that the boys points were
well taken in this respect, as admis-
sion of such people was not a reflec-
ton on the race itself, but on the
lords and masters of the citizenry.
In an open letter to Reverend Mike
lasek, Steel said: Anyone who
pauses to reflect q moment will agree
that the Slav of today or of any period,
Is and was different in many respects
from the New Englanders of Colonial
times. But the Slav is not therefore
inferior. Moreover it is not yet deter
mined that America will be nodded
along the lines set forth by our Puri-
tan ancestors. That is one of the
things the Legion hopes to have con.
sidered and If possible settled In the
present discussion"
The fact that such an essay brought
forth discussion was the point aimed
at in the nationwide contest In which
oearly 100000 children competed.

PLAN FOR AID OF
EX-SERVICE WOMEN

Creation of a body to promote the
aid and interest of $1,000 ex-service
women of the World war has been au-
thorized as an organization activity OF
the American Legion Auxiliary. This
action was taken at a meeting of the
national executive committee of the
organization, when its members au-
thorized the establishment of pres
ident's parley," fostered from the first
department presidents of the or.
ganization, and including past presi-
dents of the national body, depart
ments and units.
fund for the relief of these ex-
service women will become the prin-
c1pal objective of the parley, which
has already settled on April 6 of each
year as the day for such a drive. This
campaign will be a separate under
taking for each past president in her
own community. In case these funds
exceed the needs of ex-service wom-
en-, the money will be devoted to re-
habilitation and disqualification work.
Membership in the original parley
known as the aloha Presidents" in
honor Of Hawaii, the first department
chartered, was limited to So depart
mental presidents. In the new body,
all past department presidents are
eligible to the national presidents
parley," this number being automat-
ically increased by expiration of an
nuai terms. In provision for depart
mental parleys, past department pres
idents and past presidents of local
units will hold membership, an an
nual meeting at the department con-
Fention being required.
The aloha Fund.-" for relief of
women who served in the World war,
is to be drawn from work by depart
ments and units, one-half going to the
department and national parleys, the
remainder to be used by the local unit.
Handling of the national funds by the
Aloha presidents is provided by the
constitution of that body.

Statewide Campaign
to Arouse Citizens

The most comprehensive experiment
In education in citizenship ever under
taken in the nation is under way in
California, under direction of the
American Legion. Nearly 1000 work
ers, enrolled by the Legion in a state
wide speakers bureau, are carrying a
message of Americanism to every set
Element in the state in an effort to off
set the apathy of citizens toward civic
affairs.
Department Commander James f.
Collins organized the movement and is
directing instruction of the huge corps
of workers from state headquarters,
in a cause which will continue until
fall.
''The Legion is aroused by the dam
ger which confronts this country be-
cause Of apathy of her citizens toward
civic affairs and the increasing neglect
Of the privilege of voting" said Com
mander Collins, "a prime movement of
the whole campaign will be to secure
a larger registration among eligible
voters in the state and to impress upon
the citizens their duty to participate
in governmental affairs"
The state has been divided into forty
districts, with district commander
appointed in each district who is to
supervise the work. At least once
each month. every American Legion
post is to be visited by a Legionnaire
from another post, and in addition all
the civic clubs as Rotary. Kiwanis,
women's clubs, church. luncheon and
fraternal clubs will hear a Legion
speaker, seeking to arouse the citi-
zenry of its obligation to community,
state and nation.
