Thomas, the Central forward, who scored 2.1 of his team's 3£> points has taken the lead as In-1 dividual scorer, with an average of over 19 points per contest. Greenawalt. the former York star has an average of 20.5 points for the eight games in which he participated. The White Hose star has left the York institution. This places Thomas first among the active players. Heading High school, with seven victories and one defeat tops the per centage table. Central is two games in the rear. The local aggregation has four more games to play, all on its own floor, while the Berks county | crew lias to play at Steelton, Lancas ter, York and with Central during the next two weeks. llard Gaines Ahead In Central. York and Steelton. Heading will have the three hardest teams to defeat on their own floors. : Dopesters concede the Lancaster game to the "Dutch" next Saturday, but expect York, Central and Steelton to defeat Coach Lightner's tossers. This would give Heading a flnul standing of eight victories and four defeats. With four games on Its own floor, two of which aro with Tech and one each with Steelton and Reading, Cen tral partisans figure four straight vic tories and the championship for the blue and gray, with nine victories and three defeats. The York tossers dropped to third places as a result of two defeats at Head inn Friday night and Lebanon Saturday. The loss of Greenawalt, the star of the team, has broken up Coach Bilheimer's team work. Lebanon Plays Good Game The Lebanon tossers continue to hold their own, and with the Lancas ter game at Lebanon, and the Steelton team to be played at Steelton, the "Bologna" team will likety finish on even terms, with six games won, and a like number lost. The Tech team has been a disap pointment. The Maroon started strong by winning six of the first nine games. Kntering a slump the team has drop ped six straight.

The game was one of the most exciting that Academy teams have participated in this season. This victory gives the Roman team the series, as they defeated their oppo nents in the first game several weeks ago. This series of games counts five points on the yearly cup. Twenty-minute halves were played, and from the very start the Romans j went into the lead. The first half was nothing but one score after the other for the winning team and ended Anally with the points in favor of the Ro mans by 31 to 8. In the second half the Greeks braced and outscored their rivals by two points. Moore, of the Romans, led in the | individual scoring with eleven field goals opposite his name. All the Ro mans were high scorers, excepting Wallis, who played an excellent guard ing game, lioth was high poitn man for the defeated side with live field goals and six fouls to his credit.

MORE FORESTRY LAND IS NEEDED Western County Men I'rgc Legislature to Provide More Preserves The first gun has been fired by the Wild Life League in a campaign to enlist the organized support of every camp of the League for forestry meas ures to come before the next Legisla ture. The Meadville and Franklin camps of Crawford and Venango counties passed unanimously a resolu tion which, after reciting the need for forestry practice in their communities and in the State at large, guarantees their united support to the Depart ment of Forestry In its efforts to stop ! forest fires and reforest waste lands, pledges them to secure from every candidate for the Legislature a definite statement of his stand on forestry and states that the resolution will be con sidered official business for the action of every camp of the league in the State. The league has made phenomenal growth in the few years it has been organized. It is one of the two chief sportsmen's organizations of the State, the other being the United Sports- I men's Association. The combined membership of these two associations is close to 200,000. They are not a haphazard collection o£ hunters and fishers, but are a body definitely or ganized for definite purposes. It has been brought home to them through their efforts to secure game and fish protection that the first essential is to provide a safe home for wild life, and that the only way to it is through the practice of forestry. Because of their thorough organiza- I tion, these sportsmen have been very i successful in securing the needed legislation for game protection. Their united support will be one of the strongest acquisitions the forestry movement could possibly have. The resolution declares that five million acres of land within the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania is lying unproductive as a result of forest fires and repeated devastation of j woodlands by fire tends to render meaningless efforts for the protection and propagation of game, fish, song and insectivorous birds in these re gions. It is also held that an addi tional nine million acres in this Coni -1 monwealth is, by reason of lack of knowledge on the part of the owners, 1 producing only a fraction of the value which it ought to produce. The leagues will require of each ! candidate for the Legislature from i these districts a statement as to his position on the subject of forestry in Pennsylvania.
