Lebanon High, coached by Po'l>
Strickler, former Lebanon High and j
Lebanon Valley athlete, seems sure
to at least break even on its schedule |
of league games. Light is the leading |
scorer in the league, but has particl- l
pated in more games than any other
of the leaders.
Coach Bilheimer's York High five
leads the league in both offense and i
defense. The Roses have scored more
points per game, and had less against
them than any other rival.
Lancaster's decisive victory over
Steelton last Saturday indicates that
Coach Weller's aggregation will hold
its own at home.
Tech enthusiasts will welcome Har
ris' return to the league next Friday
evening when the Maroon meets I
Reading at that place.
"Shrimp" Ktllinger holds the league )
record for field goals in one game.,
Against Lancaster on the Tech floor!
he dropped 11 two-pointers from all j
angles.
All of the Lebanon players rank I
high in total scoring, but the team |
has already played seven games, while ;
no other team in the league has |
started more than four contests.
Greenawalt. the lanky York center,
has scored more field goals per game
than any other player. Ability to cage
fouls will rank him high among the
leaders at the close of the season.
Gregory, the former Tech athlete,
is being tried at forward and guard
by Central.

Electrically Light and
Heat the Whole Town
i
To those who are accustomed to pay
ing the usual city rates for electric
energy, the condition which has been
brought about in towns and rural dis
tricts along the Snake river in Idaho
by the Minidoka power and irrigation
project is no doubt novel, says the Feb
ruray Popular Mechanics Magazine in
a well-illustrated article. At Rupert,
Idaho, a public high school is heated
and lighted electrically, as mentioned
at some length in a previous number of
this magazine. Altogether, however,
the town, which has a population of
about 1,000, now uses 1,6u0-horse-power
in its homes and stores.
In houses which have cost only a
few hundred dollars to erect it is not
uncommon to tind electric stoves,
ranges, lights, washing and sewing ma
chines. and other appliances. The same
is likewise true in some other towns
and in the country for miles along the
river. The farmers not Infrequently
turn their grindstones and operate
separators and other machines by
power. And this is all because of the
eheapness of hydraulic energy.

The State is said to have more than
200 separate electric pumping stations
in operation, which together are re
claiming tens of thousands of acres.
PAT REAGAN* IX HOSPITAL
Pat Reagan, the Steelton athlete,

early in the week in a game at Leb- |

the ankle was only sprained. An ex
amination brought the discovery that
a small bone was fractured.
FORMER BASE BALI, STAR BEAI)
William O. Kennedy, a former
Burnliam baseball star, who played
at Newport and in other towns* in
this vicinity, died yesterday at Foun
tain Springs Hospital near Mahonoy
City. He was an outfielder and hard

"Hank" O'day will be seen calling
the strikes and balls in the National
League circuit next summer. He
wired President John K. Tener in Chi
cago that he wanted a job as umpire
and he got It.
O'Day was an umpire in the Na
tional League for many years and was
a pitcher before that.
In 1912 he managed the Cincinnati
Red*, spent 1913 as an umpire and in
1914 managed the Chicago Cubs. Last
year he umpired only a part of the
season and had no contract for the
coming year.
STATE SCHOOL MEN

named to frame bills.
Steps for overcoming any dupli
cation there may be between the State
Department of Agriculture and the
Pennsylvania State College in the. agri
cultural education work, including
farm advisers and farmers' institute'
activities, will be considered by Secre
tary of Agriculture Charles E. Patton
and President E. E. Sparks, of the

he expected to reach a, plan for co
operation between the two agencies
whereby the whole State could be cov

Local basketball teams have been
getting raw deals in surrounding
towns, according to reports. Not only
are referees unfair and incapable, but
on a number of occasions Harrisburg
managers have failed to get the guar
antee, and lose out because of ex
penses. It might be a good thing to
insist, on the guarantee before the
game starts. Managers seeking games
out of the city should also inquire
to the standing of the teams they
play.

IN MILITARISM
Make United States "Nation
With Arms," Is Plea of
Leaders
The sentiment for preparedness,
which is slowly but irresistibly satur
ating the minds of the citizens of this
country has inspired the active in
fluence of Secretary Franklin K. Lane
of the United States Interior Depart
ment and P. P. Claxon. commissioner
of education, in urging volunteer
military training camps for High
school pupils and a general plan for
volunteer military organization and
drill in all high schools.
Robert M. Ginter, Washington staff
correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Gazette-Times, writes in detail of the
so-called Wyoming plan, drafted by
Lieut. E. Z. Steever of the United
States Army, which plan has been put
into effect in the high schools of that
State. The Wyoming plan is pointed
out as showing the idea of "a nation
with arms" as distinguished from "a
nation in arms"; and military train
ing has been made a game rather
than a disagreeable duty both there
and In the city of Washington, where
for years it has proved popular and
successful among High School stu
dents.
Strongly Advocated Here
From time to time the Telegraph
has suggested the adoption of a plan
similar to the Wyoming plan for the

has been a disposition toward the op
posite view regarding military train
ing in the schools on the part of a.
number of the school board.
It has been pointed out that "the
spirit of competition, discipline, and
responsibility engendered by this plan
of military organization, drill, and
competitive work establishes among
! the pupils a higher standard of both
civic and educational preparedness."
{The consistent and growing popularity
lof the system in the Washington
schools bears witness to its efficacy
and acceptability in any locality.
Service in these High schools' mili
tary organizations is voluntary, but it
is said that from 90 to 98 per cent. oE
the students adopt it. The pupils are
divided into squads, platoons of com
panies, the members of each unit or
group being selected by the leader of
that unit.
Each unit is organized on the volun
