LEBANON TRIES TO KEEP ROTE OFF ELEVEN-MUCH INTEREST IN COMING GAMES GETTYSBURG WILL MEET BUCKNELL Rivals to Fight It Out at Island Park, Saturday, Novem ber 13 Gettysburg, Pa., Nov. 2. The Gettysburg College football team has now arrived at that part of its sched ule when it meets some of Its great est rivals. Coach O'Brien and his as sistants will devote all their efforts from now on to perfect the "Battle field" machine for the game with Bucknell University which will be played on the Island Park ground, Hsrrlsburg, Saturday, November 13. Then there will be brought together two great rivals who have been con testing for several years with the ad vantage in favor of Bucknell. But. this year the Gettysburg col legians, because of their remarkable showing, give promise that the Buck nell warriors will have to go their limit If they hope to retain their perfect record. Coach O'Brien's proteges by a score of 13 to 0, compelled Cornell to use its full strength in defeating them. Football critics were again sur prised when several weeks later, Penn- State was given quite a scare. In this game the veteran aggregation of Coach Harlow was held to the score of 27 to 12, the team being the same which defeated Penn but a few weeks be fore. It is the determination of both the coaehen and the players to avenge the defeats at the hands of Bucknell during the past years. From now on It will be "On to Harrlsburg and Buck nell" which means that all plans are being laid with this game In view and lhat the team will be given a rigorous drilling. Even though Johns Hopkins will be met at Baltimore next Satur day, still all the preparations during the coming week will be made to per fect th ? details for the Bucknell game. Furthermore, the shortness of the time within which the team must be put in best form demands that the squad be driven hard. On the "Soldiers" team, there are several veterans, who are still the main stand-bys, and upon whom Coach O'Brien places his chances of success. At the quarterback position is "Toppy" Hoar, the former Academy star; at tackle is last year's captain, "Bearcat" Scheffer, who was formerly a Technical High player: Captain Mc- Collougli is again at center and is playing his usual brilliant game, whils "Vic" Emanuel is holding down one of the end positions in a manner which is most gratifying, to the coaches.

PHILLIPS, Painless Dentist 320 Market Street, TUESDAY EVENING, Talbott Says Hinkey Is to Continue as Head Coach of Yale Squad Special to The Telegraph New Haven, Conn., Nov. 2.—Nolson A. Talbott. an assistant coach of the Yale football team and the official press representative of the eleven, denied last night that Frank Hinkey hud been deposed as head coach, to be succeeded by Tom Shevltn. Talbott's statement follows: "Frank Hinkey will be head coach of the Yale team the rest of the sea son. Tom Shevlin has been asked to come back to coach, but not as head coach. Hinkey was at the field to-day. Some man may be asked to act as field marshal, but Hinkey wlllt be consulted in every move that ts made. "Captain Wilson has not thought of putting Hinkey out and putting Shev lin In. There Is no truth whatever In the statement that Shevlin will take charge." Talbott's statement Is In direct con tradiction to campus gossip, which has It on good authority that Shevlin is to be in charge of Yale football If Captain Aleck Wilson has his way. There Is no intimation, however, that Hinkey is to resign his official position as head coach. The Yale News, which speaks with an Inspired mouth, in an editorial to-day intimated Shevlin is to be head coach at Yale. TRINITY KEEPS BRICKLEY; X. Y. C.

Weinert was scientific, a rast shooter of punches, clever with his judgment of distance and scientific in the matter of ring tactics. But his punches lacked force.

GOTHIC THENEW ARROW a for 2&c COLLAR IT FITS THE CHAVAT IB Sm '^l HAHRISBURG flSSfe TELEGRAPH POE WAS MEMBER OF BLACK WATCH Letter From Dead Football Star Tells of Army Life in Northern France A recent issue of the Princeton Alumni Weekly publishes an interest ing letter from John Prentiss Poe, Jr., '96, the once noted football player, whose death in the fighting in France on September 22 was reported from Paris. Poe was a private Ift the fa mous Black Watch regiment with the British army in northern France, which was practically annihilated in the recent allied drive against the Germans. A# their commencement reunion last June the members of his class gave him a "postal shower." At the suggestion of Andrew C. Imbrle, the class secretary, all the members sent Princeton picture postcards to Poe with an Individual message from each sender. The class secretary received a reply from Poe, sent from "North ern France," which follows: "I want to write thanking you in the name of the class for the postals the fellows sent me. "So far about 130 have arrived, and as I read the sincere wishes of the fellows many an incident unrecalled for years at least comes back at see ing the well remembered names. "I have transferred from the heavy artillery to the infantry—the famous Black Watch, 'than whom.there is none such,' who over one hundred and fifty years have shoved the British flag into many quarters of the globe and kept it there, until now, as Kip ling said: Never a sea so distant, never an isle so lone But over the sand and the nplrn trees the British flag has flown. "I am beginning to feel more at home in a kilt; and while they are cool, the legs get dirty for quite a way above the knees. "You all must have had a great reunion, and I often thought of you, during the four days In June,- nnd wished I could drop in on you. "Am glad Net was there to tell the fellows where I was. I should have dearly liked to have seen the enlarg ed kodaks taken years ago. "There is no use In my telling you about the war, as you doubtless know much more than. I do, and besides, our letters are censored. "Of course, we are going to win; but the 'Limburgers' are putting up a great fight. What business have the 'square heads' to start on the downward course the empire which weathered the Spanish Armada, the Dutch under De Ruyter and Van Tromp, the 'Grand Monarch' and Na poleon? "Aren't you sorry I am such a shark on history? "The Black Watch carried a Ger man trench on May 9 after several regiments had tried and failed It was taken with the piper playing the 'Hieland Laddie.' "The heavy artillery does most of its firing from five to eight or nine thousand yards and one never sees the enemy. "There is no use in writing why I transferred or I would only be mis understood —or else suspected of 'bumming my chat' (praising myself). "I hope you will thank all the fel lows you see who took the trouble to write (and it was trouble too). I had no right to expect them to do so. I trust that I shall be on hand at the next roundup to tell you 'how the play came up,' or in other words how me and K. and K. made the 'sauerkrauts' wish that war had never been invent ed. "And now, in the stately language of the rancher and miner, 'looks to ward you all, and also bows. I hope I catches your eey.' "As ever, while water runs and grass grows. J. E. POE. "Thus speaking, and illustrating the hardships in France, Private Poe took a long siesta. "Mv address is A Company, third platoon.

Br'er Rabbit Has Some Day on the Opening An eventful day it was yesterday for Br'er Rabbit and his family in thll State. From early morning, when the misl hung heavy in the valleys and tha scent of the fleeing' quarry was easily trailed, until late in the afternoon, when the nimrods gave up the chase on account of fatigue, the fleet-footed cottontails were chased over hall and dale, the quarry for countless eager dogs and the target for innumerable guns. Nowhere was there any safety for the timid liare and when the day wai done the rabbit family In Pennsyl vania had suffered more losses than the Belgian army. From the standpoint of the hunier the day was far from ideal. It wan warm and dry and the rabbits weri not at their best. A week or so ol frosty weather is needed to "ripen" them, as It were. But It, was a glorious time to tramp the hills and fields of the countryside. It was an ideal Fall day and thosp who were unfortunate enough not to get their limit —10 in a day—of rab bits had the pleasure of a day In the great out-doors when it is at its best AWARD TENNIS CI'PS Cups were awarded the winners in the Fall tennis tournament at th< Harrisburg Academy yesterday bj Coach Fhipps.
