    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.

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.

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. First Black Watch, British
Kxpeditionary Force, care of War Of
fice, London, England."

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
