FURS SIX POINTS
FOR TRACK WIIERS
Will Be Big Help to Scholastic Ath
letics, Says Secretary
J. E. Sullivan
New York, March 13.—Commenting
In the new system of pointing of track
Rnd field sports which was recently
ndopted by the Intercollegiate Asso
ciation of Amateur Athletes of Amer
ica, James E. Sullivan, secretary of
the Amateur Athletic Union, expresses
the opinion that the winner should
receive six points instead of five He
believes that a victory is worth two
points more tliau being the runner
up.
When asked if he did not think that
the new method takes in too many
men, Mr. Sullivan said:
"I don't think so. It is a very good
idea. The athletes will be able to score
more points, and so will tho schools.
It will make competition better, as the
athletes will have more chances to get
places. If a man fails to get a prize
he gets an opportunity at least to do
something for his school.
"I ani going to recommend at the
next annual meeting of tho Amateur
Athletic Union that our scoring be

! extended to five places. Instead, how
over. of giving the victor five points,
I will suggest that it be raised an ace
• higher. A winner should receive two
I points more than the runner-up."
I In the future at all college games.
I points will be distributed to the first
1 five, as follows: Five for first, four for
! second, three for third, two for fourth
I and one for fifth.
j The reason for the liberal award of
: points, according to a college official,
j is to have more colleges figure in tho
i score, it possible. On the other hand,
! some of the experts fail to see that the
( system will make competition any
j keener.
In most sports, when an athlete,
; horse, boat or machine fails to finish
j one, two or three, the effort Is not
; considered of much account, fc'uch has
i been the opinion for many years.
When prizes are given at athletic
games they are distributed only to the
first three, save in special events or
distance runs.
At the present time, at all cham
pionship games of tho A. A. U. and
Public School Athletic League, the
point score system is five for first,
three fcr second, two for third and
one for fourth. If the A. A. U. changes
its scoring the P. S. A. L. and allied
bodies will probably follow suit.
ST. PAUL TEAM WON
The St. Paul tossers had a close call
with the Neidig memorial five of Ober
lin, winning by a score of 28 to 26.
The Obeiiin five were In the lead
until near the close of tho game.
Beach and Fleck lead for the St. Paul
tossers, and Osinan and Peck were
Neidig stars.

This was the second double hoodoo
day of the year, but not for Manager

with his head high in the air and

! lar line-up, while Tech will be with

sible. Central, by winning the game
to-night, will be champions of Har

ber of scholastic games.
The game at the Armory to-morrow
night may also decide the independent
championship, as the railroaders have
won two games from Harrisburg by

have included five games, but one more
game for the P. R. R. Y. M. C. A.
will end the series. The game starts

Igln 10 pins, and the Larks trimmed

Susquehanna Nine
in Kelchner's Hands
Special to The Telegraph
Selinsgrove, Pa., March 13.—Indica
tions are that a fast bunch of base
ball stars will again be developed by
Coach "Pop" Kelchner, who will look
after the Susquehanna University
j squad again this season.
I Peters, the spit ball artist, who has
| played a great game for three sea
i sons, will again do the twirling for the
Susquehanna nine. Goble, a new
find, who is a southpaw looks like a
comer and will undoubtedly be a
strong asset to the pitching staff.
Middleswarth, a reliable catcher, will
again don the mask for the coming
season. Smith, last year's captain, will
try out for second. Harklns is a can
didate for third sack and Shannon for
first. Follmer and liarpster expect to
try out for their old positions at cen
ter and left field. Gronttinger, Waik
inshaw, Swope, Stetler, Boyer, Lauver,
Young and Lenhart are all promising
candidates.

Locust Gap Five
Played Best Game
Lacking only in goal shooting, the
Locust Gap tossers liist night defeated
the Hassett five, score 26 to 2. Consid
ering that Locust Gap players camo to
Harrisburg after putting in twelve
hours in the mines, adds to their
credit.
Hassett's work was of the best but
they were up against a fast team.
Every man on the local five figured in
good spurts, but they were outplayed
at intervals when defensive work would
have counted. Had the Locust Gap
been in their usual good form in shoot
ing the score would have been more
decisive. For Locust Gap, Whalen
and Betz were stars.
The Central High girls' scrub team
defeated the St. Cecilia girls, score
11 to 9. This game was also of great
Interest. Miss Kleckner and Miss
Starry put up a great game for Cen
tral and Miss Keenan and Miss Coon
starred for the St. Cecilia
