Royal Blue and Gold forces, however, realize that they have tough sledding ahead of them, for, after the Mauch Chunk engagement, they are due to bump into two tartars in McSherrytown and Hazleton. Yesterday, Coach Green drove his Rams through a scrimmage session and, at the same time, he worked them on pass defense.

Green, too, introduced about a half-dozen new plays to add to the Rambler grid machine repertoire in preparation for Mauch Chunk's visit.

to 1:50 p.m. or two hours and 40 minutes. They then had luncheon and Mussolini's train departed at 2:45 p.m. Both military and diplomatic questions apparently were under discussion. The Italian and German foreign ministers, Count Galeazzo Ciano and Joachim Von Ribbentrop, accompHitler and Mussolini to the meeting and were said to have held separate discussion, possibly relating to Ciano's conferences this week in Rome with Ramon Serrano Suner, special Spanish envoy who has explored in both Berlin and Rome the position of Spain in Axis war plans.

The military phase of the discussion may have been presented box Field Marshall Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the supreme command of the German armed torces. An Italian military expert, Gen Nacci, ented Italy's command in any discussion of operations. Third Meeting ROME, Oct. 4, (U.P) -Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini met in the Brenner Pass today to speed up Axis warfare against the British Empire and to consider the position of the United States in world affairs, Virginio Gayda wrote in the authoritative Giornale D'Italia. Apparently referring to the United States, Gayda gave assurance that the Brenner meeting was not directed against any country now outside the European conflict.

"The third meeting of this year between the Fuehrer and Il Duce is occurring at the Brenner with the obvious purpose of discussing the military and political course of this war, which has entered its full, concentrated phase against the British Empire system," wrote. "It must be said above all that the meeting does not imply any plot against the peace and tranquility of countries not participating in the war. and the new point fixed by the two chiefs is bound to have profound repercussions on the course of the war and economic evolution of the continents on which the war is being felt. "Italy and Germany are not thinking of fixing a date for the end of the war but only conditions SATURDAY SPECIALS Orange Fudge Cakes each Tasty Devil's Fudge cake coated with orange fondant icing made with fresh orange juice.

Nine Bucknell Vets Start Against State LEWISBURG, Oct. nine veterans scheduled to get starting assignments, a predominantly game-tested team will start for Bucknell against Penn State at State College tomorrow. In the backfield, Coach Al Humphreys indicated today he will call on three experienced gridders, George Boner, fullback, and Walt Wenrick and Mel Knupp, halfbacks, for firststring jobs. At the conclusion of the final pre-season drill here this afternoon, Eugene Hayes, 174-pound quarterback from Rome, N.

looked like a probable starter at the play-calling position. The performance of Hayes in the passing department may give him the starting call over "Dukes" Dueger, veteran quarterback. Hayes is also a shifty runner and plays an excellent defensive game. Veteran linemen, with two exceptions, are expected to start up front for the Herd. Leading the stampede will be Co-Captains Morris Bessel and John Plewak.

Plewak, 150-pound guard, is the lightest lineman and bulwarks the Bison charge while Bessel holds down the center post. Fred Goro is expected to occupy one of the wingman berths, teaming up with Jesse Mair, promising sophomore challenger. "Chuck" Reed and Charles Nagel are probable starters at the tackle posts two unheralded sophomores, Phil Van and James Fennell, on the loose since the start of the pre-season drills last month. are battling their more experienced rivals for starting jobs. "Nick" Priore will cooperate with Co-Captain Plewak in handling the guard duties.

The Bison squad, which travel to State College by bus, will leave the Bucknell campus at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Coaches Humphreys and Blum will take 29 players in the party. Methodists Will Observe Rally Day It has been announced that the Rally Day program at First Methodist Church, north Hickory street, calls for a lecture on Sunday evening at 7:00 o'clock by the Rev. Dr. George W.

Humphreys of Danville. The title of the lecture is, "If I Were T. enty-one Again." Dr. Humphreys has given this lecture very widely before groups of young people in many of the colleges where it proved very popular. It should be inspirational and instructive to both old and young.

At the service on Sunday evening both the Junior and Senior Choirs of First Methodist Church will sing under the direction of Miss E. May Wardrop, and Mrs. Russell Zimmerman who is leader of the Junior Choir. The Rally Day spirit will pervade all the services and meetings at First Methodist Church next Sunday which begins with the Church School Assembly at 10:00 a. m.

At 11:00 o'clock a. m. Divine Worship wil be conducted by the Pastor, Rev. Andrew L. Bixler when it is planned to have all members of the Church School from the Primary Grade up in attendance.

At this service the newly elected officers and teachers of the Church School will be installed and the Pastor will preach an illustrated sermon entitled "The Conscience Clock."

Speed-Up Of War Is Discussed At Vital Brenner Pass Parley (Continued from Page One) Guns Protect Train The Brenner Pass, Italian-German Frontier, Oct. 4, (U.P) Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini debated "all problems" involved in new war blows against Great Britain and axis plans for a new order in Europe and Africa today at "a cordial" threehour meeting aboard an armored train. (In Rome, the Fascist spokesman Virginio Gayda said the conference was designed to speed up the warprobably the Mediterranean campaign against Suez or Gibraltarand to discuss political developments, presumably including the position of the United States and Soviet Russia.) Following the meeting, which was attended by German and Italian military leaders as well as both foreign ministers, Hitler and Mussolini departed for their capitals aboard armored trains on which were mounted anti-aircraft guns. The Axis offensive against the British Empire in North Africa toward Suez or Gibraltar, the position of the United States and of Soviet Russia toward the war were regardprobable subjects of the conference, as was the question of entry of Spain into the conflict. But when Mussolini departed southward, presumably for Rome, after the comparatively brief meeting with the Nazi fuehrer, secrecy as to details of the discussion was unbroken.

Both Nazis and Fascists said the conference would have extremely important results, as has been the case when the two leaders have met in the past. But it was emphasized that no information was to be expected until after plans discussed on the armored train- guarded by alert anti-aircraft gun crews had been put into effect. Thus, it was indicated, the Italian and German leaders (presuming they agreed on the subjects discussed) will return to direct the next phase of conflict and the world will discover what they talked about only after their plans have been put into effect. Their meeting last March was followed by the beginning of real warfare the invasion of Scandinavia by German forces. There recently has been much speculation as to plans for a winter offensive in the Mediterranean area, where Italian forces already have advanced into Egypt some 75 miles in a drive aimed eventually at Alexandria and Suez.

The Axis powers only think, of the war, which must continue more relentless and pressing than ever." Observers here believed that the Brenner meeting was given added significance by the presence of General Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, chief of the supreme command of the German armed forces.
