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

the Central goal, he dribbled the en
tire length of the floor, evading both
Frank und Fields, the Central guards,
and shooting a goal from a hard
angle. 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:

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

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.

"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. The summaries:
