8 YALE TOSSERS GIVE GREAT BASKETBALL EXHIBITION BEFORE LARGE CROWD YALE'S SCORING MACHINE ROUTS ALL-COLLEGIATES £aptain Taft's Aggregation of Football and Baseball Stars j Gain 44-21 Victory LOCAL BOYS SHOW FOBM Large Crowd Witnesses Classic Exhibition in Chestnut Street Auditorium In a classic basketball game played flast night on Chestnut Street Audi torium floor the Yale varsity tossers took the Harrisburg All-Collegiate five Into camp with a 44 to 24 score. The! game was ail interesting exhibition of ! clean, fast basketball on the part of j the New Haven visitors and an in- j terestlng one from the spectators' 1 standpoint, unused as Harrisburg is to the Intercollegiate rules. Nearly ono thousand fans crowded the big room ] and the brilliant shooting and good team work and passing that was shown by both teams provided plenty of thrills. Yale's presence in Harrisburg grave local enthusiasts the first opportunity to see in action some of the stars who have been prominent in baseball, foot ball and other athletics at New Haven. It was a fashionable crowd that at- ; tended the game and the Yale alumni ; ■were there in large numbers. A dance ' program followed the game. Yale's Scoring Machine Early in the game Yale's scoring ] ■machine started. Kinney, last year's l all-collegiate star, was the big fellow i in this department and while he stayed In the game there was no let-up. His teammates, led by Captain Charlie Taft, kept feeding the ball to the speedy and elusive little forward, who rolled them in from every angle. Cap tain Taft did his scoring from the foul line, but was a big factor In the pass- Ins and floor work of the visitors. Harry Legore, the famous football i star, was scheduled to play with Har risbu#. but eligibility rules prevented him from appearing in the line-up. In j order not to disappoint the big crowd | hv was put in the Yale line-up in the second half and showed his skill and accuracy by dropping three clean bas kets in a short lime. Horton, who went into the game late in the second halt, was the only Yale man who failed to tally. Olsen's floor work and j quick follow-ups to the basket fea tured the playing of the Yale team, while Garfield, the tall center, was constantly in evidence. Stradella, who succeeded him, handled his end of the playing very capably. Neil Malion, one of the best guards in the inter collegiate League, did not get into the game. He was being saved for the tussle with the Navy at Annapolis this afternoon. Local Players Xo Slouches The Harrisburg boys put up a splen did game under the circumstances, with "Shortly" Miller and •'Pat'' Rea gan following the ball every minute of the time. Frank Roth put up a good game and guarded closely, while Her man and Stackpole occasionally showed traces of old-time form. The live field goals scored by Stackpole, who captained the Yale 1915 team that won the intercollegiate champion ship against Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell, Columbia and Dartmouth, were a factor, and Her man's foul goal shooting in the first iialf aided materially in the scoring. The team worked in spurts, with an occasional brilliant goal from the field by Miller, Roth and Reagan. "Red" Atticks too Herman's place in the sec ond half and A. H. Stackpole replaced E. J. Stackpole, Jr., in the last few minutes of play. Both these players made their presence felt. The only regrettable incident during the game was the unsportsmanlike hissing of the crowd at one of Referee Miller's decisions. Harrisburg Stars Herman, of Harrisburg, scored first for Harrisburg with a foul goal, but the lead was shortlived, a field goal and two foul tosses by Kinney follow ing for Yale. Field goals by Rhett and Olsen preceded a foul goal by Herman. Garfield and Kinney made two points and E. J. Stackpole. Jr., scored the first goal from field for the Collegians. Field goals by Rhett and Kinney, a foul by Herman and a field goal bv Stackpole and a field and two foul goals by Kinney, made in the order mentioned, brought the score up to 20 to 7. Stackpole added two more to his list. The score at the close of the half was 22 to 11. Second Half Taft opened the second half with a foul goal. E. J. Stackpole. Jr., scored from field. Olsen tallied three times from field and Taft added a foul shot. A field goal by Reagan, another by Kin ney and three in a row by Miller, At ticks and Reagan followed. Legore made two field goals. Taft two fouls, Stradella a field and Taft another foul before the Collegians scored again.

It is a peculiar fact, how ever, that few of the "pros" who come here take out naturalization papers. No reason has ever been forthcoming for this state of affairs, except that in the past they have not suffered in any way through being British citizens. In case the proposed bill goes through, all subjects of the crown in' foreign countries liable for military> service will be branded as deserters if - they do not enlist in the army. There ; is no way to reach them here, but if they go home to England or Scot land it is hardly possible that they j will be received with open arms. DOOIX'S TEAM FOR HIGH Camlfridge, Mass..

WELLY'S jSt CORNER It is understood that no further changes will be made or suggested for football. It is probablo that the pass ing rule may be clarified. Other pro posals have been heard but no action is likely. Harrisburg had something real In basketball last night. Some of those In attendance were ignorant of Inter collegiate rules and said some ugly things about the referee. With those who advocate clean games a general opinion prevails that a study of bas ketball rules should be made by those spectators who tried to pan the offi cial. Intercollegiate basketball rules fix a penalty every time a hiss or objection comes from the spectators on a ruling. If it is to be clean sport, this rule must be enforced. While there are many basketball fans in Harrisburg who enjoy the game as played by National rules. It was proven last night that the Inter- SPEED BOYS HERE FOR HARD GAME Camden Eastern Leaguers to Line Up Against Local Independents The Camden team of the Eastern!

COMMISSION IS AGAINST CHANGES Dismiss Petition of Baseball Players' Fraternity; Fultz to Make Appeal Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 6. —The na tional baseball commission yesterday dismissed the petitions of the Base ball Players' Fraternity. Of the four concessions asked for by the frater nity the commission held that three of them did not refer in any way to major leagues, and therefore held that they were Internal affairs of the Na tional Association and could come be fore the commission only on appeal. The other concession, the one ask ing that "a clause In the players' con tract empowering clubs to suspend without pay, after certain periods of disability, players who are injured in service, be eliminated, and that such players be entitled to full pay as long as they are held under contract," was also dismissed. The supreme court of baseball In taking this action says: "Inasmuch us the commission has never approved a major league contract empowering a major league to suspend a player dis ab'ed in its service without pay, and as the form of contract approved for 1917 requires a club to retain a player injured in its service for the full term, the request in so far as It relates to major league clubs is dismissed be cause the condition complained of does not and cannot exist." In its finding the commission re marks: "It will be noted that the right of release cannot be exercised by the I club when a player is injured while on duty and he is entitled to salary for the full term of his contract."

"The dismissal of the requests that referred to conditions under the juris diction of the National Association was, broadly, a semilegal technicality. It will be followed by an appeal to the national commission on the part of the fraternity from the resolution of the National Association, which will have the effect of bringing the entire matter before the commlsison again In the form of an appeal as outlined in the statement issued by that body."
