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. A
foul toss by Miller, a foul by Taft

CAN THESE STABS MOID THE LAURELS THEY HAVE WON?
* /aSKKSfe. „ „ _ ,
Who will be the champions of 1917? Only Dame Fortune could say. Here are the present holders of titles in the various important
branches of professional and amateur sport, but will they be able to hold the laurels they have won?
Elmer Ollphant, of the Army, was the most sensational football star of the season.
Jess Willard even now faces two very capable challengers, I-.es Darcy and Georges Carpentier. Will he keep his title .
Tris Speaker outbatteil the ball plavlng fraternity and took the crown away from the mighty Tyrus Cobb. Will Cobb take it back again next
summer? R. Norris Williams is a champion made in 1916. He unseated William Johnston in the realm of tennis.
Dario Resta is the premier of speed men. He captured the American Automobile Association championship and several thousands of dollars
with it. Chick Evans won both the National Open and National Amateur golf titles in 1916. Miss Alexa Stirling is the present peeress of women golf
ers. Miss Molla Bjurstedt, the Norwegian girl, ranks as onb of the best tennis players in the world to-day, and this is the undisputed woman cham
pion.

Military Orders May
Put Crimp in Golf Sport
London, Jan. 6.—The recent threat
of Lloyd George, British war minister,
to pass a bill in parliament calling all ;
Britons between the ages of 18 and 60
to the colors may affect the English
and Scotch golf professions in this
country. 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.

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-

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."

PLAYERS WILL APPEAL CASES
New York, Jan. 6.—President David
L. Fultz, of the Baseball Players' Fra
ternity, stated that while he had not
seen a copy of the 1917 contract re
cently adopted by the major leagues,
i the reported change in the clause re
lating to payment of players injured
on the ball field while Incapacitated
was highly satisfactory to both officers
and members of the fraternity.
"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."
