              HER SHEY ROLLS
HIGH SCORE
ON OPPONENTS
Continuing its good work of the proceed-ing
week, the Her shey football added further
laurels to its record by trouncing the fast
New Cumberland team by the one sided
score of 48-0. The score at that does not
show the comparati ve merits of the teams
as the locals did not appea r eager to roll up
a large score and they made no attempt to
kick the goal following the touchdown. The
final quarter was cut to eight minutes at the
request of the visitor 's manager .
Hershey entered the game with the odds
all against them inasmuch as the New Cum-berland
boys had made quite an enviable
record against teams much heavier than the
local boys. In addition they had played
seven or eight games while this was but the
third game for the local boys. The visitors
outweighed the Hershey boys by an average
of ten pounds. Despite t hese advanta ges
the New Cumberland boys offered no re-sistance
of any kind to the att acks of the
home team .
The aerial system of offensive play by the
Hershey team proved the greatest obstacle
in the path of the boys from across the river
and upon numerous occasions it proved good
for twenty and thirty yards , and was in-directl
y respon sible for all the point s scored
by the Hershey team although conside rable
ground was gained throug h the line. The
touchdowns were scored by D. Slesser,
Clark , W. Dressier , Stover , M. Swartz , and
E. Zimmerman . t Of these Slesser and Dress-ier
each had two while the others made one
apiece.
One of the most important games on the
sched ule for the Hershey team will be played
Saturday when they line-up against the
Palmyra eleven upon the latter 's field . In-tense
rivalry has always existed between
Hershe y and Palmyra and any kind of a
contest between representative teams is
always certain to attract a large attendance .
The Palmyra team , which is supported by
t!-o Harrison Quigley Post American Legion,
is an'exceptionally str ong combination , being
composed o£_a number of player s of wide
experience. That 'fact does not worry the
Hershey players however and they will
enter the contest , not over confident but
wide awake and ready to take advanta ge
of every opening.
A number of Hershey rooters are expected
to accompany the boys . The game will be
called at 3 o'clock.
HALLOWE'EN DANCE TO BE BIG AFFAIR
The management of the Hershey Park
is making arrangement s to accommodate
a large crowd at the Hallowe'en Dance to
be given in the Park Dancing Pavilion Fri-day
evening, October 31 . As an added
feature all children who appear masked will
be admitted free . The general price of
admission will be but twenty-five cents.
This will be the closing dance of the season
and for that reason it is expected that a
great number from the surrounding towns
will attend . An excellent orchestra has been
secured for the evening and a snappy pro-gram
is assured .
Althoug h the majority of the patrons will
doubtless appear in costume it is not necess-ary
to be masked to gain admission. Ever y
person will be welcomed whether they are
masked or in regu lar street clothes.
Special cars will be run from the Square
to the dance hall during the entire evening.

HER SHEY POST
AMER . LEGION
MEET FRIDAY
Dr. J. L. Zimmerman announced yesterday
that he had received the charter for ' the
Hershey Post American Legion from j the
National Headquarters in Philadel phia land
steps will be taken immediatel y towa rds jthe
actual formation of the organization . [The
charter received is a temporary one the
same as those issued to other posts. Perma-nent
charters will not be issued anywhere
until aft er Armistice Day, November II.
Work will be started and plans gotten
under way at a meeting called by Dr . Zim-merman
to be held to-morrow (Friday)
evening at 7:30 o'clock in the P. 0. S. A.
Hall. Every man who has served any
length of time during the recent war , either
in overseas or domestic service , is urgently
urged to attend this meeting. All members
enrolled before November 11 will be con-sidered
as Charter members. Officers and
dir ectors for the year will be nominated and
elected at this meeting.
Nearl y every city and town in the United
States has organized a post and are having
no trouble in enrolling members. The
American Legion is an established fact. It
is the concrete realization of "some sort
of organization after the war " which was
talked of in every cantonment in America ,
on board every ship in the Navy and in
every unit and section of the A. E. F. It
is the crystallization of the wish of every
soldier , sailor , and marine to organize after
thenar. "In union there is strength ," and
in this particular union will be found the
bulwark of Americanism .
The Legion has grown and its spirit has
spread because it is worthy. In every test
at the outset it repelled selfishness , narrow-ness,
partisa nship and clung tenaciousl y to
the underl ying theme—democrac y. In
every test it has withstood the temptation of
exploitation for its members at the expense
of the country at large. In no instance has
it sought anything that was not just and
equitable ana in the best interests of all
America. It is now, alway s has been and
will continue to be non-partisan and non-political
in the accepted sense of those terms.
But while it is non-political it |has and
alway s will have policies in that it reflects
the will and opinions of the majority of its
member s, whose sanit y , unselfishness and
patriotism may be depended upon in ques-tions
affecting national or intern ational
integrit y and adjustment.

TWO MEN INJURED IN ACCIDENT
NEAR HERSHEY
Walter A. Ri ngler and Lewis B. Heister ,
both of Reading, were seriousl y injured
Tuesday evening when they were run down
by an automobile driven by Geor ge Brandt,
of Campbel ltown. The accident occured
along the Campbelltown : pike , near the
Hershey Industrial school .
The men had stopped their car along the
side of the road in order to fix a punctured
tire . While endeavoring to "remove the
tire , the car driven by young Brandt ap-proached
from the opposite direction and it
is believed that the driver became confused
or else he did not notice the other car until
it was too late. His machine crashed into
the side of the other car and hit the two
men working at the wheel, 'throwing them
under the car .
Both machines were so .badly damaged
that the y were incapable of running under
their own power and the injured men were
placed upon a street car which happened to
be passing at the time, and rushed to Hershe y
where they were taken to the office of Dr.
J. L. Zimmerman where an examination
showed that Ringler has sustained severe
body bruises and scalp wounds , and Heister
had suffered a fractu red collar bone and a
broken ankle . The injured men were taken
to the Hershey Inn and placed under the
care of Mrs. Becker , Communitv Nurse.
Relatives of the men were notified im-mediatel
y and yesterday mornin g Mr.
-Heister 's wife and son came, here and made
ar rangements for the removal of both men
to their home in Reading. Mr. Heister lives
at 21 Penn Avenue, Reading, and Mr. Ring-ler
, who is unmarried , resides at 1000 Penn
Street , Reading .
Brandt, the driver of the . other car, was
accompanied by his father. A. M. Brandt, a
hardware merchant of Bachmanville.
At the req (ie/t of a number of patrons , the
great moving picture production , "The
Lion and the Mouse" has been secured and
will be shown at the Central Theatre Wed-nesday
evening, October 39. The picture
features Alice Joyc e, one of th e most talented
actresses in the world.
"The Lion and the Mouse " has played
before crowded houses all over the country
for several years and the moving picture
reproduction of the wonderful drama has
further incr eased its popularity. The New
York Theatres ran the picture for runs of
eight and ten strai ght weeks and played to
rapacity houses every day .
