Thomas Leidy. Reading, represented the estate CLASS LEAGUE SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED Gabelsville Owls, alternating a fine passing and running attack, completely overwhelmed a fighting Jorj dan AC eleven of Allentown on Gabelsville field yesterday afternoon by the score of 45 to 0. Fans were treated to all kinds of football by the Owls who used passing plays, laterals, sweeping end runs, reverses, a few trick plays and line buck.1- that gave them considerable yardage. The visitors were outclassed, the Owls piling up 12 first downs to their one. The Owls passing attack clicked, completing seven out of ten passes.

In a desperate attempt to gam ground in the last quarter, the visitors took to the air but were unsuccessful in their attempt, trying five passes and completing none. Franny Wolfe gained the honor of having the longest run of the day when he scampered 70 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. This week the Owls will practice under the guidance of Truck Yentsch preparatory to facing Shil- iington East Ends in a conference battle Sunday.

THE KEY TO FIRE SAFE HOMES CONCRETE FLOORS CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS CONCRETE IS CHEAP FIRE INSURANCE That fire hazardous construction can no longer be tolerated is evidenced by the fact that in the United States each year fires exact a toll of more than 10,000 lives and cause property losses amounting to over $500,000 000 Statistics show that a large percentage of resident fires originate in the basement where they gain headway rapidly and often envelop the house in flames before being discovered.
