boys from the Capital City how to
play football.

WELLYS J CORNER
You must hand it to Central Highi
students for real school spirit. 'They!
let bygones bo bygones. You don't
hear them worrying about the Steel- j
ton defeat. What you do hear is "Get 1
the next game and go after Tech on
Thanksgiving Day." This spirit has
had a whole lot to do with bringing
back confidence for the team.
An enthusiastic cheer practice was
led by the cheer leaders at the close l
of Central High School yesterday, in j
preparation for thetThanksglvlng Day j
game. The cheer leaders are excep- j
tionally good this year, and the "pep" j
of the students is better than ever
before. Before the cheer practice
Prof. Dibble commended the team for
their victory over Reading last Satur
day, and also some of the players who
as he termed it "woke up."
The Harvard football players do not
wear numbers to enable spectators to
identify them, but the Harvard man
agement provides a scoreboard in the
Cambridge stadium that should be
adopted by the other big Eastern uni
versities. The scoreboard, which was
invented by Arthur A. Irwin, is com- '
plete n every detail. It is operated in
conjunction with cards on which the
names of the players and their num
bers are printed. It requires four
teen men to operate the board. One
PICK OFFICIALS
FOR BIG BATTLE
Several New Features Are on
Program For Thanksgiving
Football Classic
Eckels, of Haverford College, um
pire; Hitchler, of West Virginia, head
linesman; Frederick B. Gilllnder, Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, or "Mike" J.
Thompson, Georgetown University,
referee. These are the men who will
officiate in the big classic to be staged
in the city next Thursday afternoon
when Tech and Central clash for the
fourteenth time for supremacy on the
gridiron.
Eckels Is a W. and J. graduate,
while Hitchler is now connected with
Dickinson in an official capacity. Both
Gilllnder and Thompson are Class A
officials. To be registered in this class,
an arbiter has to officiate in one or j
more of the major contests, such as
the Penn-Cornell, Yale-Harvard, or]
similar game of high caliber. This I
wil mean that officiating at the con- j
test will be of the highest caliber.
In addition to the 2 4-page program
that is now being prepared, that will;
contain all the data relating to thej
two teams, cards will be placed at
every ten yards of thergridiron mark- :
ing the distance to the goal line. This
will enable the spectators to gauge
the distance the ball has been car
ried, and how far the teams are from '
their own goals, or from their op-,
ponent's goal. In ordinary contests,
when a goal is kicked from the field, i
one cannot readily tell how far the'
ball has traveled. With a card system i
to mam the distance much Interest
will be added to the game. •
Pitt Takes Up Plans For
Basketball and Other Sports
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 24. The
Carnegie Tech scalp having been
added to their list of victories, and i
with only the final match with the
Penn State eleven on their schedule,
interest at the University of Pitts
| burgh Is turning toward the winter
sports of basketball, swimming, hockey
and wrestling. Along with Pitt's rise
in the intercollegiate football world,
there has been an almost parallel ad
vance in all other branches of sports, i
So we find that the Panther's fame in I
collegiate athletics rests almost as
much upon their showing on the bas- i
ketball lloor as on the gridiron. Initial
practice for the Varsity was held this
week and Student-Manager J. L. Scott
has announced an extensive schedule
for the coming season.
LAFAYETTE-LEHIGH GAM 12 '
Easton, Pa., Nov. 24. To-morrow
afternoon on March Field in Easton
will be staged the greatest football
battlo of the smaller colleges of the
East. Lafayette and Lehigh will meet
in that annual struggle by whose out
come, the success or the failure of the
entire season is measured for each of
them.
Since 1884 the football hopes and
aspirations of both these neighboring
Institutions have been fixed upon de- !
feating the other. To-morrow will
mark the 51st meeting of the two j
upon the gridiron. Through this long
period of rivalry, Lafayottc has been
more successful. Twenty-eight times
has she left the chalk streaked field,
the victor. On twenty occasions Le
high has enjoyed the fruits of victory,
and twice the contests have ended in
even scores.

New Haven, Conn., Nov. 2 4.—The
rain yesterday afternoon kept the Tale
football team In the baseball cage,
where a 45-minute signal drill was the
order of the day. It was a sharp,
snappy drill, with every man of the
varsity in his position with the excep
tion of Traver Smith, the quarterback,
whose place was taken by Laroche.
Smith ha-s recovered almost fully from
his recent Illness, but "Tad" Jones an
nounced last night that he will start
Laroche on Saturday, In all proba
bility. Despite this change, Tale is
Just as confident that the eleven will
give the Harvard men the battle of
their lives.
Captain Black was in his place at
left guard yesterday and went through
the signal practice in a spirited man
ner; The Princeton game has put him
in good condition and with the excep
tion of a slight sore throat he is ready
to get into the game. Black is-not the
only member of the team who has a
sore throat.

WOMEN LEARN HOME ARTS
AND POULTRY AT PF.NN STATE
Cookery, dietetics, home nursing,
household sanitation and management,
elementary and advanced sewing and
millinery are among the subjects which
it is possible for women students in
the winter short courses at the Penn
sylvania State College to pursue.
These subjects aro offered for a period
of six weeks, at the end of which it is
possible for any woman student who
so desires to pursue subjects in agri
culture offered during the second six
week period.
Because the poultry operations on
the average farm are conducted by the
housewlfo women students in the win
ter sessions often drift naturally into
the poultry course. The poultry
courses offer lectures and recitations
on poultry husbandry as a farm en
terprise, equipment for the farm flock
including a study of poultry houses,
feeding equipment, incubators and
brooders, poultry feeding, the produc
tion, preparation and marketing of
eggs and poultry, sanitation and hy
giene, insect pests and common poul
try diseases. Valuable practice work
is given in killing and dressing poul
try, grading, candling and packing
eggs for market, testing eggs during
incubation and caponizing.
Eighteen women students were en
rolled in these courses last winter.

Tech against Steelton to-morrow
afternoon at 2.30 is expected to draw
one of the largest crowds of the season

at Steelton several weeks ago the local

from Coach Taggart's crew. 10 to 0.
Steelton will enter the fray without

received at Lebanon last Saturday may
keep him from taking part in the cage
games during the winter. Tech will
also be in a crippled condition.
Harris On Crutches
Captain Harris is still hobbling

Navy Near Battlefield;
to Start Game With Seconds
Annapolis, Md., Nov. 2 4.—With the
cheers of their comrades ringing in
their ears, the thirty-six members of
the Naval Academy football squad left
the Bladen Street Station here this
afternoon for New York, where the
annual game against the eleven of the
Military Academy will be plaved on
Saturday.
Heach Coach Ingram will stake
everything on the youngsters he has
chosen to make up his back field at
the beginning of the game. Probably
no other college teajn centers its cru"-
eial contest of they year on a back field
composed entirely of members of its
entering class, yet that is what Ingram
is going to do with Whelchel at quar
ter, Roberts and Ingram at the halves
and Berry at fullback.
He is taking this action in spite of
the fact that he has a number of play
ers of more experience who have made
good whenever called upon this season.
