YALE TEAM PLAYS HERE FRIDAY PITTSTON LOSES TO LOCAL TEAM MeCord Plays Best Game; Lan caster Is Attraction For Tonight The Harrisburg Independents will ■wind up their holiday Heries this even ing, when they play the Lancaster five on tho Chestnut street floor. The attraction next Saturday nlsht will be ♦he Camden team of the Eastern League. On Saturday night Captain McCord led his team to a well-earned victory over Pittston five of the Pennsylvania State league; score, 42 to 28. Tho playing of both teams was marked by considerable roughness, a total of 32 fouls being called during the fray. Captain McCord gave the best, demonstration of individual playing seen on the local floor this season, shooting sixteen fouls without a nilss and also caging t> 2-pointers. Fist right Feature Early in tho second half Rote and S. Harris came to blows when Rote attempted to guard Harris. The play ers of both teams separated tho com batants only after one of the spec ' tators had been struck. The floor was soon cleared and play resumed. Several times during the game the visitors threatened the lead of the locals, but were unable to overcome it. The playing of Rote and McCord fea tured for the Independents, while S. Harris and Schmeelk starred for the visitors. The line-up and sum mary: INDEPENDENTS F. G. Fls. Asst. Tls.

POMKROY A STEWART HARRISBURG, PA. MONDAY EVENING, CORNER George Cockill, owner and manager of the Harrisburg New York State League Club will be In Harrisburg this week. He will announce his plans and activity will start for next season. Manager CockiU's visit is anxiously awaited. Harrisburg Independents will play two hard games this week. Lancas ter plays to-night and Camden's speed boys will start the three-game series Saturday night. It was a rough game Saturday with Pittston. Referee Early was criticised because ho did not call fouls on Harrisburg. Those who watched the game closely were of the opinion that he was partial with Pitts ton. Fist fights are not a part of a bas ketball game. The mixup Saturday night between S. Harris and Rote marred the contest. The crowd that rushed on tho floor made a serious mlstaVe. Let the officials In a game take care pf such troubles. Women who attend games do not like to see such dlsurbances. Jeff Smith, the middleweight, is willing to box Les Darcy for nothing. SCHOLASTIC BASKETBALL TO SHOW INCREASED ACTIVITY Tech Plays Lebanon Friday at the Armory; Sleclton at York; Central Starts Late With the resumption of school ac-1 tivities after the holiday season, high schools throughout tho State will turn their attention to basketball. Leba noon and Steelton pried open the ltd in the Central Pennsylvania League in tho "Dutch" town last Friday even ing, and the easy manner in which the Lebanon lads trimmed the Steelton veterans, is indicative of the fact that the "Dutchmen" have one of the strongest teams in tho league. Steel ton has practically the samo Une-up that finished last season. Friday night Tech will meet, tho Lebanonites on the City Grays' Ar mory floor, and if Tech can land tho game, it will go a long way toward strengthening the Maroon following. Tech never falls to have a champion ship team on the track, but for some reason or other never had a cage five that could be called championship caliber. In tho opening game they were barely able to defeat Danville. On the next evening they lost to Ship pensburg Normal five at that place, while last week they nosed out the Mlddlctown tossers by a single point. Steelton Has a Game Another league game to be played this week will be tho Steelton-York contest in the latter city also Friday night. York has won four games to date. In the scholastic championship series of that city which has already begun, the high school players have defeated both the York Academy and collegiate teams. Both games were In the high school gymnasium. Reading has already played several HARRY LEGORE MAY PLAY HERE Yale Basketball Team Will Reach Harrisburg Friday on Christmas Trip The local all-collegiate five that will meet the Yale basketball contingent on the Chestnut Street Auditorium floor Friday evening of this week has been practicing faithfully for several weeks in order to get in condition to give the New Haven varsity a lively tussle. The last practice will be held on Wednesday afternoon of this week against the Central High School live and Coach McCord will produce his strongest line-up for the Harrisburg team's final practice. The recent death of Gilmore Kin ney, 1907. S,, who has coached the Yale team for several years, will not cause any change in the Christmas trip schedule of the Yale five, which will hit Harrisburg on Friday after a strenuous week of games with the University of Buffalo, University of Rochester, and Syracuse. Orson Kin ney, the speedy forward of the Yale quintet, considered to be one of the best shots in the intercollegiate league is a brother of the former coach and played on the 1915 team which won the Intercollegiate championship. Locals After I„egore An effort is being made by the local management for the game to have Harry Eegore, Yale's famous fullback, in the line-up of the local team. L,e gore was a former Mercersburg bas ketball star and his presence in the game should interest local fans. L.e gore is captain of Yale's 1917 base ball team, however, and it is unlikely that he will engage in basketball for that reason. Manager Spencer has forwarded to the Telegraph the following probable line-up for the game on Friday: For wards, Kinney and Horton; center, Stradella or Garfield; guards, Captain Taft and Mallon. The opposing team will include "Shorty" Miller and Stackpole, forwards; Reagan, center, Roth and Herman, guards. Tickets are now on sale and can be had at the price of 35 cents each. They are on sale at the following places: George Harry's cigar store, Third and Walnut streets; George W. Bogar's store, Market Square; Fair lamb's cigar stores, 210 and 331 A Mar ket street; Hess' cigar store, Thir teenth and Market streets; Benner's cigar store. Fourteenth and Derry streets; Castor's cigar store, 306 Ver beke street, and the P. R. R. Y. M. C. A., Relly street. The Yale team is an expensive attraction. Indications point to a large crowd. Penn Favorite in Game With Oregon Varsity Eleven Fasadena, Cal., Jan. 1. Uncer tain weather conditions early to-day greeted the players of the University of Pennsylvania and University of Oregon elevens who are ready for the second annual post season football game between the east and west at Tournament Park here, following the tournament of roses pageant. Al though Pennsylvania was tho favorite, the forecast of "unsettled weather" cheered the Oregon supporters. A wet or muddy field, it was said, might give the heavy line plunging Orcgonians a slight advantage over the open stylo of play expected from the eustern eleven. R. C. Folwell, Pennsylvania coach, and Hugo Besdek the Oregon mentor, announced that their men were in good condition. Urquart, Pennsylvania's left end, who developed an infected foot on the trip, L wiU be replaced by Crane. , He also agrees to give the Australian a good purse, not less than $12,500. This is the bout Darcy sliouid take on first. Smith had the best of Darcy on three occasions in Australia, and lost a fourth battle on a foul, if the Am erican means business no time should be lost In arranging for a contest. Ban Johnson says Garry Herrmann will remain on national Commission. That settles it. John evidently lias again burled the hatchet with the Cincinnati owner. Georgs Carpentier, the French heavyweight will not come to the United States until summer time, ac cording to latest reports. Carpentier was in a bad aeroplane spill and will not be In condition to fight until that time. Johnny McGraw will go to Cuba this weok where he will remain until the time for the training season to start in Marlin, Texas. Ho may re turn In February in order to .put through an important deal. Accord ing to reports Muggsy has a line out for several players, but wants to keep quiet until everybody else has finished trading and buying. preliminary games, and has shown good form. Many of the Berks coun ty critics are picking that aggrega tion to land the flag. But these are the same persons who predicted tlie same thing last year without taking into consideration the Central team. They aro basing their opinion on the fact that last year's runner-up has practically the same bunch of layers to begin the season. They will get their first test of league ball next week when they meet Tech Friday night and Lebanon Saturday night, both games to be played away from home. Central Starts l4te Just what Central will be able to do in the way of repeating last year's victories, is problematical. Bote is lost to the team, which means, that a real star is gone. His place will not be filled in a. year. But "Ike" McCord must not be overlooked. Kver since ho was engaged as coach of the Blue and Gray he has turned out a winner. Only "Eddie" Hilton remains from last year's five, and the four vacant places will be hard to (ill. The team will not start its league contests until the 26th of this month. In the mean time it will open its schedule on the 12t.h v/ith the Academy tossers on the Chestnut street floor. Coach Schllchter's Academy tossers will get started Saturday night, when they will journey to York to play the York Academy quintet. The Yorkers have played several games already, and should make the local lads go at i a fast clip to win. ROTARY CLUB HAS BOYS AS GUESTS Over 200 Lavishly Entertained at "Big Brother Dinner"; Gifts For All More than 200 boys were entertained by the Harrisburg Rotary Club at Chestnut Street Hall this afternoon, when the club's first "Big Brother" dinner was given with all the good things and good times that character ize Rotary Club affairs. Instead of having a New Year's luncheon, as has been customary, the Rotarians dispensed with their own function and became at once hosts and waiters to a large number of boys whose home circumstances were not such as to insure much holiday cheer, ! the Associated Aid Societies assisting by giving a list of names. Rutherford, the caterer, was in structed not to count the cost, but to prepare a dinner that would fill up the largest and emptiest stomach that might present itself as a candidate for club hospitality. He did it, too. There was turkey—more than the average boy could eat—mashed potatoes, vege tables, filling, celery, cranberry sauce, ice cream, cake, nuts, candy and fruit not to mention other little side lines that usually go to make up a dinner of the kind. President Howard C. Fry and John S. Musser. "chief waiter," were ably assisted by such distinguished Ro tarians as William 8. Essick, Ed S Herman, Frank B. Musser, J. William Bowman, Ed. S. Black, Charles Wood and a host of others to the number of almost the full club membership, who saw to it that the boys got enough to eat. "I'm a good eater myself," said President Fry, addressing the waiters, "and it will be your duty to see to it that every boy eats until he has a pain in his stomach." 13r. Frank B. Kann, who was one of the waiters, at once volunteered to render first aid under those conditions and the waiters went to it. The Rev. E. P. Robinson, noted as a friend of boys, asked grace. Music was furnished by the Stevens Memo rial Methodist Sunday School orchestra and vocal selections were sung bv William Webster, of St. Paul's Cathe dral, Baltimore, and Mrs. G. M. Steln metz. Mrs. Charles J. Wood, Jr., and Mrs. Harleigh entertained the boys with recitations. The hall was deco rated in holiday greens. After the dinner each boy was pre sented with a large orange, a pound of candy, a toy, a pair of stockings and a pair of Boy Scout gloves. Ice Cream Is Boosted in Price to Retail and Wholesale Trade Eli N. Hershey, president of the Hershey Creamery company, to-day gave to a reporter reasons why Ice cream manufacturers during the past month or more have been putting up the price of ice cream of both the wholesale and retail trade. "During the last two years the cost of the ingredients which enter the manufacture of ice cream have been on an ascending scale, but only dur ing the last six months have the great advances taken place," he said. "Here is a list showing tho percentage of in crease in the cost of the various in gredients of ice cream since 1914: Cream has advanced 38H per cent., sugar advanged 80 per cent, fruits and flavors, advanced, 15 per cent... nuts advanced. 10 per cent., salt ad vanced 5 per cent., ice advanced 10 per cent., labor advanced 15 per cent., JSARRISBURG TELEGRAPH - - 1,1,1 >l ■ 11.

Although the plans have not been finally decided upon, the new building is practically assured. No definite esti mate of the cost can be given. According to plans of the building committee, the dormitory will be three stories high and will be used by the younger boys. A feature of the new building will be a big dining hall, two stories in height, and with accommo dations for more than 200 people. At one end the room will bo elevated so that it con also be used for lectures and for an auditorium to present plays. Two recitation rooms will be equipped on the tirst floor and one on the second, while the third floor will be arranged to accommodate three teachers and twenty boys. The base ment will include an immense play room, a modern kitchen and a vege table storeroom. The building will be designed to conform with the other ones at the Academy. According to Headmaster Arthur E. Brown, the rapidly increasing enroll ment of students has again made it necessary to provide more room. At present there arc 185 boys and young men in the various classes of the Academy. Only a year ago a. new dormitory was completed and used for the first time. FORMER BASEBALL STAR READ Cincinnati, Jan. 1. Joseph McNa mara, once famous in the baseball world as "Reddy Mack," died suddenly at his home in Newport, Ky. McNa mara was 53 years old and had retired from baseball only three years ago, his last venture being the managerial charge of a West Virginia club. "Red dy Mack" 20 years ago played second base for several clubs in the big leaguo circuits. paper and boxes advanced 75 to 160 per cent. "So the total cost or making a gal lon of ice cream has increased more than 30 per cent. In the last two years. Aside from this steel packing cans have advanced 60 per cent, and tubs 15 per cent. The cost of gasoline for delivery cars has advanced 80 per cent. "Tho prevailing retail price of Jce cream In the future will be 35 and 40 cents a quart from the retail stores.

This young (lady —age 10, persists in eating apple sa'uce at all times and places, taking a fiend ish delight in smearing as much of her small person with said apple sauce as possible. This Is, however, but a minor woe compared to those that are to come to "William Sylvanus." Blanche Sweet, the Lasky star, will be seen on Wednesday and Thursday in "Unexpected," a thrilling drama of the Southern prison camps. 9
