Amber husky eleven emerged victors ' The Red Cross Call Is on and the from two gruelling contests ulayed last' district canvassers are at work week. Thuisday, the Lakehurst .Mar- througiiout the North Penn sectiwj, ines were defeated, score Anibler, 15. striving hard to nuike this th Alarines, 0. The. Armistice day battle suecessfi|l drive ev^a- held, showed a decisive improvement In ' The disasters ot the past year have Ambler's offense, and after losing  two   made heavy demands on the ited CroB*,
most
golden opportunities to score in the earlier part of thu game, came th.rough with a rush in the last period. The lirst score of the game was made when Capt. Lewis kicked a placement goal from the 32-yard Unit and before the close ot the period Sailor, the husky fullback, crashed over for two touch¬ downs.
On Sunday Ambler entertained the much-advei-tised and highly touted Spring 'C*ltj(-'Royers)lord ijeven on AlcCan.s' Held. The visitors had ta.sted defeat bul on one prior occasion, that defeat coming from Consliohocken, score 7 to 0. At the outset of the game it was plain to be seen that both teams were evenly matched, and the first quarter endel without either side being able to make a score, although both clubs werii in position to score via the Held goal route, but the attempts were  Linsuccessfu'.
THo start of the second iwriod again proved that Ambler now has an offen¬ sive attack worthy of imintion. for after a series of mixed plays including off-tackle thrusts, end runs. forward passes, the ball was worked down to the visitors' Hve-yard lino where Roy- er.sford, gained possrission of the pig- -skin on downs after Finney had made an unsuccessful attempt to run the end. This play as it ttirned out showed that Finney had erred in his judg¬ ment, as the ball prior to the qiid run was directly in front of the uprights, making the possibility for a lield goa.' very good. ITowever it must be said that this was the only time that he eired, tor during the roiiiainder ot the game and prior to this time he ran the team with precision and care, and to Finney must go a great deal of llie credit tor Uio reformation in Ambler's attack. Immediatiily after receiving tlie ball Royersford kicked. the pigskin again comin.g into Ambler's posses¬ sion on the visitors' 40-yard line, •¦ind here Ambler showed its ul'fensive skiV by eompleiing a de'ayi.»l pass play that was  without a  dodbt  the liest
executwl and   well  timed   Play  seen   on AlcCans'  field this year. Finney receiv¬ ing  tlie   ball   direct  from  contei'  ixiss- ed "to  Sailor,  who  in   turn   heaved  thr   made pigskin  direct  in  the  waiting arms  of . °t the "Howdy" AI;utin, who had r.tced davyn.U, 7.)f^ the   field   to  the   visitors'-.4-5inrd   line. •!   How upon   making   the  catch   h< ied,   but   with   superlium:iii
ind   it   is   very   necesjsary   Uial   large funds  bei raised  in  order .to     cDntinUe the work. As it is through the iiieiiiber- ships  secured   in   the   Uul,   Call       that these  funds  are  procured,  it  is  essen¬ tial that the  number of    inembershiKB   _,i,„ bci   Increased.  A   special   p.ca   is   made'ijj,.., for  more  *5 and  $10 members.  .And  In ' tho liouso-to-house e,anvas« each famii ner un iiy   should  take at  least  two  ^1   mem-i     ;^i,.„ berships. This Is being done more ana   yj^^JJ more iivery year.  Tlie people are com- ! ing  to  see  that  the  Red  Cross  is      a permanent   institution   which   must   be supported,   and   they   plan   tor   the  re¬ gular   annml   membership   as   a   duty — a per.sonal duty ol each      indivdual ! instead   of a  famjy  obli'alioii,  enroU- ing each   one  of  the  faiully  as  a  Hed ^ l'roi.ss  member.   It  has   been   the   habit of  somo  jioeple   to   look   on   the       Ked '¦ Cross as belonging only  to war and to ¦ see no reason  tor contribi.ting to it in ! time   of  peace,   liut  that  altiuide       Kft '. it   is   changing,   and   the   enlightenetl ! ones .see the necessity for its continued I SLiPport,   for  keeping   it  active  and   in : a  stall" ot high  ellicioney at all times.

I There aru always a tew who spoil a good thing for everybody. Such is the ca.se cturing gunning season when Would-be hunters come from the city or other disiant places to hunt in th» country. Not only have they d i.stroyed many female birds, but have tres¬ passed on iiosted projicrty and destroy¬ ed at random where they had nut right. Perhaps the most glaring ot tliese. misdemeanors is the shooting and de¬ liberate sttaing of a turkey hen in the orchard uf Albert Tyson, whose tarm lies between Jarreitown and Horsham. The stranger did not ap¬ pear lo be ignorant of the tact that il was a tame fowl, and thoi Kb ho seemed lo hear those at tin- housw Shout lo liiin hi made off wilh his prize before his identity could bo as¬ certained. Sucli is the. manner in Which many a good thing is spoiled. It is not the only llagrant ease that has been heard of in llurHhani, and Jt only means that there will lie less gunning   territory   up n   about the
country    n  the  future.
