UNEXPECTED SCORES 111 FOOTBALL GAMES Tech High Won Honors in Schol astic Circles; Rough Game at Steelton By "l T MP" Anything is likely to Happen in foot ball this season. Everything did hap pen on Saturday but the thing pre dicted. Penn will have much to explain for the defeat at Michigan by a score of 3 4 to 3. The game Princeton played against Harvard was also a failure, as tho Tigers lost out, score 20 to 0. Yale nosed out a victory over Brown, and the Indians held Holy Cross to a score i less game. Saturday results gave fur ther evidence that comparative scores this season will not foretell the final results. Tech High School came out first best in scholastic circles, winning from Al lentown, score 4 8 to 0. It was a game full of many good points for Tech. Beck, Beach. Stiteler, Harris, McKay, Emanuel and Kutz were stars. Hart man and Walters were Allentown stars. Central Loses Again In a rough-house game at Steelton I Central lost to Steelton High; score, 13 to 0. Central played the best game during the first half. Steelton walked away with victory in the second. Bing ham, a Central star, went out of the game with a fractured arm and will not play again this season. It was a bitter contest. Officials overlooked many violations regarding rough tac tics. Norrls, of Steelton, and Roth, of Central, came to blows and were ( put out of the game. An Interesting game, and a contest that had many brilliant spurts, was played on the Harrisburg Academ> field. The Academy eleven won from Yeates School, of Lancaster. The Har risburg Academy stars were Saltzman and R. Bennett. Three Miles of Sod to Make a Gridiron Boston, Mass., Nov. 9.—Three miles of Harvard sod will be grafted on the diamond of Fenway Park, the home of the Red Sox, to prepare it for the gridiron clash between Dartmouth and Syracuse, which will be played here on November 21 while Harvard and Yale are battling at New Haven. Before the end of the week the grid iron will be completely turfed over in order to prevent the baseball sur face from receiving irreparable dam age in scrimmage. In men whom men pronounce as ill I find so much of goodness still; In men whom men pronounce divine I find so much of sin and blot, I hesitate to draw the line Between the two, when God has not. ■—Anon, i Gettysburg will be captained by "Bear Cat" Scheafcr, a former Tech star. Both teams will come to Har risburg by special train, each bring ing along a band and several hundred rooters.

LESSONS He Knew the Answer His name was Tommy, and he came home from school looking so down in his mouth that Mother asked him severely what was the matter? Out of his little trouser pocket he fished a note from the teacher, which said, "Tommy has been a very naughty boy. Please have a serious talk with him." "What did you do?" asked Mother. "Nothing." sobbed Tommy. "She asked a question, and I was the only one who could answer It." "H'm," murmured Mother. "What was the question?" "Who put the dead mousi In her deskdrawer?" answered Tommy.—Llp incott's PLUMMER BOOMED FOR TREASURERSHIP Splendid Work in Organizing Blair County Has Resulted in Praise For Him Harrisburg friends of J. Lee Plum mer, former member of the House from Blair county, both on and off Capitol Hill are talking of the splendid manner In which he swung Blair county back into the Republican col umn. Mr. Plummer took up the bur den of reorganization after the Roose velt campaign of 1912 and Blair coun ty, which was counted upon by Demo crats because of the Progressive strength shown two years ago, gave a Republican majority for the whole ticket and elected a Republican sen ator and three Republican legislators. The credit for this achievement is given to Mr. Plummer by men of every party, who have recognized his re markable gifts for organization. The success of Mr. Plummer has caused him to be boomed for State Treasurer in 1916, the Altoona Tri bune, the leading paper of that portion of Pennsylvania, saying: "The candidates and the private members of the party owe Chairman Plummer a sincere vote of thanks for his arduous and successful efforts. The State nominees in whose behalf he labored with untiring zeal and rare wisdom will undoubtedly join in this vote for they are cognizant of the situation here In the early spring and of the difficulties that have been suc cessfully surmounted by Chairman Plummer and his loyal assistants. The line of battle against the foes of Re publican principles and policies was cleverly formed and steadfastly main tained and The Tribune believes it is proper to publicly thank the leader for the successful conduct of the cam paign. "Let. us add the conviction that the Republicans of the State owe to Mr. Plummer the coming nomination foi the office of State Treasurer. In 1905 he was made the scapegoat to bear the sins of others. There was nothing per sonal In his defeat for the office of State Treasurer in that year. He suf. fered for the sins of unwise leaders. He has earned the grateful recognition of the leader as well as the rank and file and we believe he'll get it."

Saturday, afternoon and evening "September Morn." OHFHBUH Every afternoon and evening—High- Class Vaudeville. COLONIAL Every afternoon and evening Vaude ville and Pictures. JOHN DREW Mr. Drew's surrounding company lias been chosen wisely by Charles Froh man and the cast Is headed by M'ss Martha Hedman, pleasantly remember ed for the agreeable Impression she made on American playgoers when seen in this country two seasons ago with John Mason in Mr. Frohman's produc tion of Bernstein's "The Attack," and who since has been appearing with Sir George Alexander at the St. James Theater, in London. She returns to this country especially for her present role in "Tho Prodigal Husband." Miss Hed man might be said to be but one of a trio of leading women, for while she portrays the youthful Siomen at the a<re of 18, little Helen Hayes Brown portrays her In the first act as a child of 12. The third leading woman Is Grace Carlyle, who is seen as the for,- giving young wife. Surrounding play ers include Ferdinand Gottschalk, Eenry Crocker, Clinton Preston. Harry helghton, Walter Soderling, J. Homer Hunt, Rose Winter, Josephine Morse and May Galyer. It Is unnecessary to add that Mr. Froiiman has produced Mr. Drew's new comedy with the customary Frohtnan good taste and painstaking care, the settings being splendid specimens of the scene-builders' art. Since the ac tion of "The Prodigal Husband" occurs in and near Paris, opportunities are given the ladies of Mr. Drew's' com pany to exhibit some very beautiful gowns, a note always of interest to the feminine portion of Mr. Drew's audi ence.—Advertisement. MISS FANNIE W AllI) MISTAKEN FOH A SPY Miss Fannie Ward, who is to be seen here Thursday evening as the star of the French farce comedy , "Madam President," arrived In New York City on Wednesday, August 5. Miss Ward came over on the White Star steamship Olympic, the last of the lines of that company to sail from England since tho war declarations were made. Miss Ward had a sensational experi ence aboard the Olympic. On Monday night she was sitting on deck, quite unaware of the report that warships were scouring the seas. She had a book and, desiring to refer to a passage in it, slie brought a small push-button pocket electric lamp Into service. The lamp refused to work smoothly and kept flashing and going out as Miss Ward "tried to make it behave." An officer on the bridge of the ship saw the frequent Hashes. He last no time investigating. The first Miss Ward knew that she was the object of sus picion was when two officers and four seamen surrounded her. Describing the Incident, she said: "I was so scared that for a minute I could not speak. They asked my name, my nationality, to whom I was signall ing and a hundred other questions. I finally explained matters and things were all right."—Advertisement.

Miss lioyo comes to Harrisburg almost direct from a six weeks' engagement at the Palace Thea ter. Broadway's most Important vaude ville theater.

Other im portant features will include, Conlln, Steele and Carr, the spirited trio of en tertainers. two of them comedians and the other a pretty girl, who on different occasions scored with their spirited frolic, piano playing and clever non sense.

PALACE, TOMORROW, "TREV 0» HEARTS" Judith, lashed to the runaway horse, is carried at a mad pace out into the desert. Using the binoculars, Alan, tells Rose and Barcus of the affair, mounts his own horse and starts oft to the rescue. Rose and Barcus break camp and plan to follow. Trlne's car arrives at Mesa, takes up Marrophat and sets off In pursuit. /By mldafternoon Alan Is overcome with thirst and heat. Barcus and Rose follow and, by the merging of hoof prints, they learn that Alan has pur sued Judith into the dangerous part of the desert. Trlne's automobile eventu ally falls in a poor fourth in the race. Judith's horse takes her to a sunken water hole. She dismounts and seeks water and rest. At this point the sky darkens. With hardly a moment's notice, a terrific sand j storm breaks forth. Alan. thinking I that Judith is helplessly tied to the I horse's back, pushes on. It is only by | accident that he stumbles across I across Judith. Alan is furious at find ing the girl safe and well able to take care of herself. He strikes aside her hand and rushes out again into the storm. Judith follows and finally over takes him. when he falls exhausted down an embankment. Trlne's car. after being held up by the ntorm. continues on the trail, finally coming up with the vigilance eommit | tee of Mesa. Marrophat and Trine in- I <iicate Alan as the murderer of Hopl Jim.
