MOUNT UNION HAS NEW OBSERVATION POST The ground has been broken for a new modern Observation Post located at Cedar Crest, near Mount Union. The new post will be built at an elevation of approximately fifty feet above the old building. This will enable the observers to have a better vision particularly in the northern direction. In addition to better visibility, it will, also eliminate various sound disturbances, and in many ways be more convenient for observers. An executive committee, headed by Norman L.

Simpson, has been appointed to see that these plans will be carried out. This post, under the careful guidance of William G. Miller, chief observer, will strive to carry out its motto which is "Perfect Spotting." The observers, who have been donating their time and services for the good of their community, have been doing a fine job and are being commended highly by the United States Army for their splendid work.

The Trojan team will lose a big of the starting lineup when portion seniors take the field for their final game. Gridders who will play their last game for the Bearcats are Bob Geissinger, Bob Norris, Don Hefright, Fred McNeal, Jim Swab, Bob Conpropst, Paul DeForrest, James Howe and Jay Fleck.

Harry Jones, Dean Sheaffer, Bill Wilson and Dave Steel, now on the injured list, will not be around next year. Jones, a junior, will be ineligible due to age while the other three are seniors. The starting lineup for tomor-10, row's game will get a severe shake-up. Max Sheaffer, a junior, will start at left half in place of Norris who is on the sick list and Paul DeForest will go to right half in place of Fred McNeal, who was hurt in the Lock Haven tilt. Charles Fluke will take Sheaffer's place at fullback.

Bill Corcelius will be at quarterback in place of Harr Janes, also hurt in the Lock Haven tilt. Jim Swab has earned a berth at left tackle where Jim Howe usually played. Seven Mount Union seniors who will play their final game are Frank Stasenko, John Williams, Nelson, Hundiak, Pagana, Dell and Carl. Three weeks ago Huntingdon handed the Bricktown a 27-0 shellacking under the lights at War Veterans Memorial Field in an exhibition contest which showed the Bearcats reserves playing the affair. Tomorrow's traditional holiday skirmish will mark the twenty-second meeting between the rival schools.

Huntingdon has won 16 games and Mount Union 4 in the long series. One game in 1939 ended in a 6-6 deadlock. Tomorrow's season finish will be the twentieth successive meeting since 1924. and it will be a counter in the Westesn Conference. Joe Barnett, Bearcat coach, will complete his fourth season as head mentor of the Red and Blue and Raymond Green, Trojan mentor, will end his second season at the Mount Union helm.

Barnett's Bearcat teams have never lost to Mount Union. In his first year here, the Bearcats tied the Trojans 6-6. In 1940, Huntingdon won 21-0 and then duplicated the feat last year before trouncing the Bricktown 27-0 earlier this season. Mount Union has lost eight straight games to date and over a two-year period the Trojans have. dropped 12 consecutive contests.

Huntingdon's much better record posts eight wing and three losses. The Bricktown has been handicapped a great deal by injuries to the best players, but the gridders have been doing well despite the misfortunes. Loss of 15 lettermen through graduation is one of the main factors for the poor Mount Union season. Coach Ray Green is expected to start the same team that went up against Osceola Mills the last time out. Frankie Stasenko is not expected to uniform due to a broken left hand.

The injured Joe Giacobello and Robinson, a lineman, may start the tilt. Huntingdon will carry a weight advantage of from six to eight pounds. The Bearcat team average is 156 and the Trojan average is 149. Officials for the game wil be Jerry Goss, Altoona, Bing Miller, Lewistown, and Jack Kyle, Carlisle.

A team of mules and a tractor had been hitched to the truck to get it back onto the highway. Mrs. Dunmire was driving the team of mules and Rhodes was operating the tractor. A rope and tackle had been attached to a tree nearby. Dunmire was seated in the truck.

When all their efforts were put into effect simultaneously, the tree was uprooted over on the truck, striking Dunmire on the head and back. An surgeon was summoned, found that Orbisonia, death had resulted instantly. None were aware that the tree to which the rope and tackle had been fastened was dead timber. The victim of the tragic accident was a son of the late Mack and Mary (Clark) Dunmire. At the time of death he was aged 21 years, 10 months and 27 days.

He had spent his entire life until last Spring at McVeytown. In 1939 he was graduated from McVeytown-Oliver High School with Miss Lois Virginia Mertz and they were married the following year.
