Capt. Berkn;;n Leads

S. R. In One-Sided
Victory Over Edinboro

Green and White rush across three
touchdowns in early minutes of play
and continue to stage field day
througout game. Brilliant play of
backs is outstanding feature.l

'Neath a bright O:tober sun, Slip-
pery Rock’s green and white jerseycd
grid warriors ran rough shod over
Edinboro State Normal at Slippeis
Rock, the final count being 41-6.

Slippery Rock started to work al
the whistle. Harlan tallied first on
an off tackle play after the ball had
been advanced to the eight yard line
Thi: was followed by two more I&
quick vuccession the first by Sundae,
right half back and the second by
Williams, left half.

Sundae kicked both goals.

Edinboro was game, but their ef-
forts were unavailing, for their every
effort was thwarted almost before 't
got under way.

Just four first downs were mad
hy them and one of these was [ruw
penalty.

Edinboro scored their lone téuch
down on an intercepted forward pa
making fifty-five yards on the plav
Failed in the goal attempt.

The regulars were deplaced by the
serubs at the close of the second pei-
iod and at end of third quarter in or-
der to rest them sufficiently for the
battle with California.

Slippery Rock received a nurcher
of fifteen yard penalities but they
did not effect their play. In the sec-
ond quarter Rowan plunged over for

SLIPPERY ROCK NORMAL
IS COOPERATING WITH
TEACHERS-IN-SERVICE

 

Slippery Rock State Normal School
is cooperating with the teachers-in-
service and superintendents in the
district served by her through the
following agency :

A Bureau of Educational Service,

which has as its principal function:
(a) The establishment of extension
courses at centers in the territory
served by the school.
(b) Undertaking of school surveys.
For the most part this consists in
standard tests in various schools un-
der the direction of the Bureau and
with the cooperation of the superin-
tendent. Slippery Rock has done this
in all the schools of one county and in
various schools in other counties.
(¢) The furnishing of entertain-
ment talent for the various schools
in the district to permit these schools
to raise money for libraries, etec.
This talent given by the Normal free.
(d) Providing speakers for insti-
tutes, commencements and special
day exercises.
(e) Serving as a clearing house of
ideas. A place to which teachers
may write for advice on school prob-
lems. This is already growing in
importance and many teachers are
availing themselves of the opportuni-
ty.
(f) Distributing a number of circu-
lating libraries to the schools in the
district—mainly the rural schools.
These librarieg are furnished free to
the schools and changed frequently.
This makes it possible for any school

Coach Thompsoh’s
Well-Oiled Machine

Tramples Reserves

 

Green and White 41; Grove City
Reserves 0.

 

Following up the two previous vic-
tories, Coach Thompson’s footbail
men swamped the Grove City College
Reserves to a tune of 41-0. Our
boys could not get going in th: 1st
half and only one touchdown was
made. Fumbles were frequent on
both sides during the first peviod.
The fine punting of Cap’t. Berkman
kept the opponents from scoring by

keeping the ball out of danger.
Punting was frequently resorted to
by both teams.

Grove City lost their chance to
score in the 1st quarter, when a fur-
ble was recovered by a S. R. player
within the shadow of the goal posts.
In the second quarter with a few
more minutes to play, Trainor plung-
ed through the line for the first
touchdown.

Evidently something had happened
between halves, that injected more
spirit into the players. Coach
Thompson got out the injecting fluid
in the form of ‘words’ and what he
told them convinced the boys Lhat
they hadn’t played the sort of icot-
ball of which they were capable. The
effect of Coach Thompson’s lecture
on the players was shown in the next
half, when after a few minutes of
play, a touchdown was scored by
“Sundae”, who ran around left end
for 20 yards. “Sundae” scored two
more touchdowns, one on the moth-
