14 TECH HIGH TOSSERS WINNER IN FIRST GAME IN LOCAL SCHOLASTIC SERIES TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL FIVE HUMBLES CENTRAL; SECOND CAPTAIN* CHARLES POLLOCK Displaying more form than at any time this season and with Beck and "Bud" Lingle featuring, last night the Technical High School live scored its second victory in history over the Cen tral High School quintet. Tech led at the final whistle by a tally of 36 to 24. The fray was witnessed by 1,500 persons, every available seat in Chest nut Street Auditorium being taken, while many were forced to stand. School spirit ran high and the lusty cheers of the students of both schools shook the building. Tech students were seated on the east side of the auditorium and Central students on the west, each sending defying yells and cheers back and forth across the floor. Game Makes History The contest, which is destined to go down in the historic annals of the two schools, was the first of a series for the scholastic championship of the city. The next contest will be played on March 30 and will be in charge of the Technical management, last night's game being in charge of Cen tral. As the two teams appeared on the floor they were given a rousing cheer and after a short preliminary practice the battle, which virtually meant life or death to the students and players, was on. Harris scored the first point of the contest from the foul line a minute after play had been started. Captain Hilton, of Central, evened the score in the same manner a little later. "Bud" Lingle. the freshman star of the Tech team, drew first blood from the field on a bank shot from beneath the basket after missing a hard shot from the side of the cage. Lingle Plays Brilliantly It was the superb work of Lingle that figured greatly in a victory for Tech. Time after time the freshman star broke up passes for Central and dribbled down the floor either to shoot a goal or pass it to one of his teant mates. In the second period he thrilled the large crowd when, after securing the ball in a scrimmage under "DCTCH" SHAFFER IX HOSPITAL Waynesboro, Pa., • March 1".

His work on the whole was of a marked degree, as was the work of Beck, another freshman. The latter besides playing a strong defensive game threw three goals from the field, two of which were from the center of the floor." Hilton scored the first goal from the field for Central, tleing the score at 3 all- The score was again tied at <> and 8. Five minutes after the game had been in progress the Technical lads forged to the lead and held that position throughout the remainder of the game. On several occasions a spurt by the ■Central team brought it within two points of Tech, but the necessary punch to even up the score was lacking, due greatly to the strong defensive work of Pollock ahd Beck. The first peiiod ended with the score | 12 to 10, In favor of Tech. ] For a short time in the second half the Central team made a rally and came within striking distance, but I again lacked the necessary punch to score. From this period the Tecli ' nical tossers took a new lease on the I game and in the closing eight minutes of the game scored almost at will. Central Weak From Foul Line Hilton and Frank were both weak in foul shooting, which kept Central's score down. Harris, on the other hand, located the basket with clock like precision and missed but few chances. Players on both teams missed many tries at the basket, the ball roll ing around the rim and then out. Technical took 49 chances at the basket, scoring 11, while Central took 38. scoring 5. Prior to the varsity contest the Cen tral and Technical Reserve squads g&ve a fine exhibition of the cage art. The Tech lads came out at the long end of a 40 to 27 score. This contest was as hard fought and as full of ac tion as the first. During the opening minutes of play It appeared as though I it would be a victory for the Central I lads, but the Tech five soon recovered and forged into the lead. In the final t'vve minutes the latter team scored at will. The summaries: TECHNICAL H. S. VARSITY Fd. G. Fl. G. Pts. Lingle, forward 4 0 8 Harris, forward 2 14 18 !

I 1 & GrantlarulJlice Copyright, IPI7, cy the Tribune-Association (New York Tribune) The Spring War Cry (While 11. W. L. is looking out the window.) The Winter League was waning fast As through the Sporting Page there passed A bloko who swore in headlines jet, "I'm through for good unlc(& I get / Ten Thousand!" His brow was low, ids batting eye Was lurid as a storm-swept sky. , And like a three-base wallop sung The loud„call of his clarion tongue, "Ten thousand!" "Oh stay!" the Ownersaid, "and play Kor what I slipped you yesterday." A tear stood In his Whaling Lamp, But still he answered like a champ, * "Ten thousaijid:" At break of spring, as Marlin-ward The bunch swung out for Dixie's sward, Who was the tirst bloke on the spot Whose contract read, as like as not, "Three thousand?" Two Spring Drives There are two detached springs this season, as conditions now stand, although they may later on merge into one. The first is the eagerness with which so many thousands are waiting for the spring drive in this country when the ball clubs get back home and the box score starts to tell its story. The second is the spring drive that Europe Is waiting for, where the box score will tell a different story. . Stories for many training camps tell of the spring drive for which so many millions of Americans wait. . The spring drive in Europe is fittingly expressed by this verse from the late Alan Seeger: "I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade. When Spring comes round with rustling shade 1 have a rendezvous with Death „ . When Spring brings back blue days and fair. But I've a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some llaming town When Spring brings back blue days and fair. * Speed • I When it comes to a matter of raw speed, the two fastest clubs in base ball now are the New York Gianls and the St. Louis Browns. The Giants have Robertson, Burns, Kauff, Herzog and Holke, who are all fast, with Zimmerman and Fletcher only a half stride behind, not to be overlooked. The Browns have Sisler, Shotten, Marsans, Austin and Lavan, with Der rill Pratt only a step away. \ George Sisler and Dave Robertson are, with Frank Gilliooley, the fast est men in baseball. Bert Shotten is hardly a half breath back of these, and many figure him fully as fast. Club for club, there Is little difference in speed. But the first four Brownies—Sisler, Shotten, Marsans and Austin—are faster than the first four Giants—Robertson, Burns, Kauff and Herzog. ' The writer who suggests that we have been "spoofing cricket is well out of line. We make three or five times our share of mistakes, but one of them is not joshing the other fellow's game. Not if He's a Pacifist Sir: Is there anything in golf to prevent me from sneezing loudly each time my opponent makes his shot?/ • NIBLICK. John J. Evers and Larry Doyle both suffered broken legs as Cub second basemen. It must be that Fate has her machine gun trained on this particular spot. Larruping Larry will be missed in more than one impor tant way if he is unable to sit in regularly, as reported. Not only is his big mace a vital aid in time of trouble, but his widespread popularity and his unbreakable spirit are great developers of team morale. "All the sport ability your nation has," writes Outsider, "has nothing of value in time of war compared to a few unathletic, heavy-footed men who know how to handle a 16-inch gun." Granting this, can the debate be considered closed? NO DRASTIC CHANGE FOOTBALL RULE Intercollegiate Comntittee Considers Many Suggestions For Improvement; To Complete Work and Adjourn Tonight New York, March 17. Football rule makers hope to complete their labors to-night. At the meeting last night announcement was made that no drastic changes were anticipated, of the changes suggested follow: Changes Asked For To eliminate all "clipping" by either offensive or defensive players. To permit any captain to refuse a penalty, when imposed by the referee. To eliminate goals from touch down; all touchdowns to count seven points or more than double the value of a field goal. To add a fourth official, a field goal, to the staff of officials. (Field judge now optional). Players entering game to report to referee and go immediately to their positions (this to prevent coaching from the side lines in the form of sending information into the game by substitute To penalize all players not eligible to catch a forward pass who act as in terference and form a screen about the- spot where ball will descend, or who charge players of the defense about to catch pass. To rule the multiple kick either legal or illegal. Recommendation that fill colleges supply officials with whistles, horns and other necessary articles employ ed in game. The removal of the goal posts to ten yards back of the final goal line at each end of the field. That linemen, having once played in the line cannot be eligible at any time to carry the ball. That a forward pass that hits the ground be put in play u,t spot from whence the ball was passed. That field goal kicked from head gear, tee or by any method other than drop or place kick, be declared no goal. That captains of contesting teams alone address officials except In case of injury or where information is de sired. Clipping From Behind Several of the big teams, last fall, the small colleges assert, 'won games from them because the stars of the | small fry were put out of the game | by what is known as "clipping from | behind." Two members of the rules I committee, Walter Camp, of Yale, and IK. K. Hall, of Dartmouth, contend i that it brings rough house play into the game. The "clipper" usually trails his in tended victim down the field ajid then hurls himself at the ankles or knees of his rival from behind and pitches the other player to the ground. The mere fact that the trick is worked while a man's face is towards his foes Your eyes are worthy of the beat attention you can give them. Del. •inger glasses can be had as low 205 LOCUST ST. Optometrists Op P. Orpheum Theater Eyea Examined No Dropa HEADQUARTERS FOR SHIRTS SIDES & SIDES HARRISBURG ttfSBV TELEGRAPH is regarded by many as sufficient to cause it to be abolished. Members of the committee were of the opinion that, because of the growth of the game, athletic associa tions can afford a Held judge in every contest, and that the fourth member to the staff should be added. There was some discussion of sig nals from the side lines. lis at pres ent a favorite custom with coaches, when they want to send signals to the quarterback or other player giving the signals to call a substitute player, tell him the plays they desire reeled oft and disjrutch him into the game to inform the pilot of the coach's de sire. Prevents Wigwagging The present rule only prevents coaches from, wigwagging or having the bucket keepcV use a code. It is the intention to compel players to as sume their positions on the team im mediately on entering the game, and as far as possible to prevent them from carrying messages to the field of play. Some of the Eastern coaches have devised a method to assist them with a forward pass attack, and the trick is actuated by having several men not eligible to accent the pass surround the man who is eligible or to go to the secondary defense of the rival team and prevent this defense from checking the pass, by charging them. If the forward pass is stopped of its interference its value as a weapon of | attack will be minimized. The San- I ford punt or multiple kick was allow j ed by three referees last fall and sort I of a precedent has been set in its fa vor. Kutgers was the only college j to work the play. i Th removal of the goal posts from the goal line is a measure intended to reduce the chances of accidents by a player colliding with the huge wooden uprights. , An effort is always being made by the New England colleges to restrict the forward pass, and the suggestion that a grounded pass be returned to the spot from whence the pass was I made, instead of to where the ball | was put in play, would make it ex -1 pensive for teams to pass unless they I are reasonably sure the ball can be j fielded.

WELLY'S "Weather permitting amateur base ball teams will get an early start this season. Already negotiations arc on for games between Ilarrisburg teams and Dauphin-Perry teams. The Keen ers and West End will be popular this year in preliminary contests. Tech came out of the first game with Central with credit. The next game will bbe played March 30. Last night's exhibition was one of the best seen in scholastic circles for a long time. Interest was strong from start to finish. Games like that 'of last night make the sport popular. The big crowd in attendance at last night's game is sufficient reason for Tech management to arrange for the next game in the same place. The Armory would not accommodate a crowd like that of lust night. It would be doing the local fans $ good turn to play the second game at Chest- Enhaut ex-High School five by a score I of 18 to 10.
