"WATCH BECK" IS CRY AT PENN STATE-LOCAL TEAMS IN HARD BATTLES
FOOTBALL HAS
FANS GUESSING
Local Boys Factors in Battle on
Franklin Field; Game
at Steelton
"Who is who in football to-day"
a problem local enthusiasts were
unable to work out. The picking of
winners had them all guessing. Of
course there are favorites, but since
the season opened, there have been
so many upsetd that dopesters are not
strongly confident.
Ixscal football stars will figure in
college games again to-day. Captain
Clark and Beck, in the Penn-State
line-up have been picked as terrors to
the University of Pennsylvania eleven,
and plays will be made especially
against these boys. It means much
for the Quakers to win to-day. The
Public Ledger, Philadelphia, says to
day:
Watch Beck
"Against Folwell's team will appear
an eleven which has rolled up double
scores against all opponents this sea
son. The State combination has won
• every game and been scored on only
' once. In the backfleld will be found
Beck, touted by Coach Harlow as one
'of the most dangerous warriors
: wearing the pigskin. In the State
i camp the cry is "Watch Beck!"; in the
J Perin camp it Is "Watch us watch
1 Beck!"
"Only the seventh son of a seventh
•son could pick the winner of to-day's
game, but without fear of contradic
tion it may be stated that both win
ners and losers will realize before
i nightfall that they have been in a
football game. Penn has last year's
defeat to wipe out and another little
differences about which more will be
' paid later, to settle, while State is
determined to drag Its greatest terri
torial rival in the dust or the mud,
as the weatherman elects."
Game at Steelton
In scholastic circles, the Tech-
Steelton game at Steelton Is the big
game In this section. It is the first
battle In the triangular series. Tech's
entire squad went to Steelton, accom
pa-nied by 200 rooters. Coach E. C.
Taggart of the Steelton team has
been saving up a few new things for
this battle, nnd it looks like a real
gridiron battle on Cottage Hill field
this afternoon.
Central eleven entertained the
Stevens Trade school of Lancaster at
Island Park this afternoon. It will
he the first opportunity to see the
Central regulars in battle. It may
not be an opportunity for local en
thusiasts to make a lair comparison
of the three teams in the triangular
reason. The style of football to l>e
.offered by Central may mean a whole
' lot. The regulars were started in
1 to-day's game. If the Lancaster lads
prove easy foes, the second string men
■will go in.
Academy at Baltimore
Harrisburg Academy played at
| Baltimore this afternoon against the
Friends school eleven. This game is
Attracting much interest. Coach
Bchlitchter has a strong eleven, but
he realizes that the Baltimore leam
is not going to be an easy proposition.
His line-up to-day included the fol
lowing:
Bortell, Hicks, Finley, Worden,
Stelnmetz, Gebhart, Bruce. Btitsch,
Froellch. Wolf. Phillips. F. Moodv,
w. Moody and May. The Bennett
brothers, regulars, will be unable to
Accompany the squad.
Harrisburg was well represented at
the game in Philadelphia to-dav.
Many members of the Penn-State
Alumni went to Philadelphia this
morning. They will join with the
•tudents from State College and help
In the rooting.
(Yale Scoring Machine Is
Winner Over Virginia Team
New Haven. Conn., Oct. 21. —The
(Yale scoring machine was given a
yesterday and on a wet field
fran over the Virginia Polytechnic team
'to the extent of 19 to 0.
Twice in the first period the Yale
I hacks, Legore, Bingham and Jacques,
ihy consistent hammering at the "Poly''
lllne, worked the ball three-quarters of
fthe length of the field bv touchdowns
without once losing it. It was a fine
offense under adverse conditions.
The third score came in the third
quarter, soon after the kick-off. Yale
V pot the ball just Inside of the "Poly"
fifteen-yard line on a fumble and after
two tries against the visiting line Le
fore shot a pretty pass to Gates over
the jfoal line for a touchdown.
The Virginia team was able to make
but one first down against Yale, a short
forward pass which gained six v-irds
elding somewhat. Yale's line held like
a rock on all other occasions. "Poly"
•howed a stubborn defense and held
/Tale for downs four times, twice within
•the ten-yard line.
The feature of the game from a Vir
ginia standpoint was the work of the >
ends, Gregory and Younger. Several
Yale substitutes were In the game, but J
the eleven played fine football, the
running of Legore on fake kicks and
•pllt tackle play being a feature.

Broke Barnstorming Bule;
Penalties For Other Teams
and Players
Chicago, 111., Oct. 21.—Members of
the Boston Americans are to be de
prived of the emblems usually pre
feented to world's champions because
they violated a rulo of the national
commission forbidding players to en
gage In exhibition games after the
world's series. In addition sixty or
seventy other major league players
who have engaged In barnstorming
without the consent of the commission
tiro to suffer various penalties.
B. B. Johnson, president of the
American League and member of the
national commission, to-day, with
other members of the commission,
look up the work of listing the guilty
players and providing penalties for the
offenses.
Rule Is No Joke
"The commission has a hard and
fast rule that championship teams
must disband at the end of the world's
series and not engage In exhibition
games either as teams or individuals,"
said Mr. Johnson. "It also forbids
players of other major leagues from
doing so without the consent of the
commission.
"In defiance of that rule the Boston
Americana played at New Haven Sun
day, and the first step the commission
has decided on is to withhold the
championship emblems from the play
ers who took part in the New Haven
gamo or shared in its receipts. They
will be punished more severely, but In
just what degree has not been deter
mined."
Mi. Johnson is in receipt of a letter
from President Lannin, of the Boston
club, in which he says he did not give
his players permission to engage In
the New Haven game.

CANNIBALS KII.L SIX
Sydney, Australia, Oct 21. A
steamer arriving from the New He
brides Group, about 00 miles off the
northeastern coast of Australia, has
brought news of the murder of six per
sons by cannibals. The victims were
a British trader named R. J. Bridges,
and at least five children, whose bodle
were found fearfully mutilated with
axes and knives, and another child,
who is missing, is believed to have
been carried off by the cannibals and
feasted upon. The murderers were
thought to have come from a village
on Malekula Island, where there are
tribes of cannibals who are bound by
native custom to kill and eat a hu
man being In order to keep up their
rank. The failure of the French and
British punitive expeditions just be
fore the outbreak of the European
war to rapture any of the perpetra
tors of similar crimes, and their im
munity from punishment for two
years past on account of the war, is
thought recently to have emboldened
cannibals.

grandiloquently and flamboyantly,
announces the Harrisburg project, at
the same time modestly and In the
subdued language that appears to be
a chief characteristic of the publica
tion, draws attention to the availability
of a former Harrisburg boy, one Al
vah Wilson, born and raised at the
Maple Grove hotel, this city, for the
managership of the new hostelry:
"Harrisburg, capital of the pioneer
and proud Pennsylvania, Is tfie latest
of the leading American cities to con
tract the twentieth-century furore for
a last-word hotel palace of the mini
mum-mlllion-dollars class, and has al
ready let loose the commotion and
promotion of a bijou Biltniore or scin
tillating Statler. E. Z. Wallower, a
local Crocker, and two chum capital
istic patriots started the stock subscip
tions with $50,000 each, a dozen others
signed for $25,000 each, and a score
for from $2,000 to SI,OOO each, with
the result that over $500,000 or half
the minimum Is assured and $250,000
guaranteed to be promoted by the
Chamber of Commerce before the site
has been chosen or the first spade of
the excavation turned. A committee
has been suggested to visit and inspect
the trio of Statlers, the Ohio Olmsted,
Deshler and Miami, the Syracuse On
ondaga, the Albany Ten Yeck, and
others of their modellic sort. Harris
burg is not only the capital but the
Pennsylvania Railroad hub and a pro

growth of commercial and pleasure

well as the Pennsylvania and Reading
systems. All that it has needed to
create and promote their golden tratfic
is a to-date hotel of the metropolitan
measurements. This is now inevitable.
"Apropos, continental hoteldom has
already precipitated a discussion of
the psychological manager for the
Harrisburg Ritz. He is none other
than the California-San Franclsco-St.
Francis brilliant, Albah Boyer Wilson,
who advantageously and adaptivcly
ex-rays to be a native of Pennsylvania

adds the psychological ingredient to
his inherent qualifications and con
tinental renown and popularity-—for
wherever 'Alvah' is known, or Is am
bassadorlaled, he Is the natural adored
and helpless 'star' of the tribe. Of
course the Harrlsburgers are still In
their promotion woods and have prob
ablly not as yet given a thought to the
management selection or detail, but
when that period comes around and
they begin the vital assimilation, Al
vah's nativity, inherent, inherent and
cultivated qualifications, and spontan
eus and Infectious personality are
planted in the scales for the competi
tive and comparative test, the Harris
burgers are not unlikely to charac
teristically demonstrate their pata
blllty and patriotic loyalty. Not only
does Alvah know the game from 'A' to

somity to add that he probably knows
