TECH IS DECISIVE WINNER IN GAME WITH STEELTON HIGH-FINAL RIFLE MATCH—SPORTS
WIN TROPHY IN
RIFLE CONTEST
Harrisburg Club Shooters Run
Up Big Scores in Three
Matches
Winning over the Keystone Rilie
Club, Saturday, the Harrisburg Ritle
Club took permanent possession of
the handsome sliver cup presented by
Cohen's Sporting Goods sore. The
winner had a margin of 19 points and
won three straight victories. H. O.
Greiner, of the Harrisburg Club won
the individual honors, having a total
score of 409 out of a possible 450.
Two matches resulted in rather
one sided victories for the Harrisburg
Rifle Club. On Saturday, however,
the Keystone boys were determined
to have revenge and by steady con
sistent shooting from start to finish
prevented any runaway on the part
of the Harrisburg shooters. Brisk
cross winds whipping across the
range from various angles made the
shooting more difficult and prevented
any unusually high scores.
These competitive matches have
aroused new enthusiasm among the
members of'the two local clubs, and
increased interest in the rifle shoot
ing game. The clubs have been bad
ly handicapped during the present
season by reason of the ordnance de
partment's refusal to fill requisitions
for arms and ammunition, owing to
the Army's immediate need. How
ever, National Rifle Association clubs
are receiving assurance that as soon
as practicable, this embargo will be
lifted.
The Harrisburg Rifle Club is about
to open an indoor range at the local
armory for smalt bore shooting dur
ing the winter months, and expect to
compete with clubs from surround
ing cities, over a course especially
prescribed for such work.
The Harrisburg boys were loud in
the praise of the fine range and
equipment of the Keystone Club,
which Is largely composed of em
ployes of the Pennsylvania railroad,
and were none the less pleased with
the cordial treatment accorded them
while their guests. The toals for the
three matches follow:
First Match

Hed Sox Owner Says
War Will Not Stop Game
Atlantic City, N. J., Oct. 29.
Harry H. Frazee, owner of the Bos
ton Red Sox, of the American Lea
gue, in an interview at the Traymore
declared that he did not think the
big leagues would be seriously af
fected by the war. Frazee expressed
regret that Ban Johnson would be
lost to organized baseball and paid a
tribute to the competency of Ed
Barrow, who is to take up Ban's
work. He said that Miller Huggir.s
will be a big asset to the Yankees.
"I do not believe that the war will
gravely injure baseball; that is, I do
not think it will interfere to any
great extent with either the Amer
ican or National Leagues," he stated,
"The sentiment behind the country
is solidly behind baseball and this
cannot be displaced. Despite the war
major league baseball was in a pros
perous condition last season. With a
few exceptions, the club in the
National and American Leagues
made money and I look for even a
better season next year.
"The draft for war service will not
materially weaken the older teams.
Both the leagues are essential to the
success of organized baseball, and It
would be a mistake for one league
to try to weaken another. 'lMieir
friendly rivalry is the biggest asset
the game has."
John Covaleski Injured;
Auto Goes Over Bank
Sliamokin, Pa., Oct. 29.—John
Coveleski, brother of Harry and
Stanley Coveleski, famed as ballplay
ers, and himself a well-known pitcher
for many years with international
and state leagues, was injured In an

urbs Saturday, together with Mr. and
Mrs. John Classic. The latter a sister
of the baseball player, suffered in
ternal injuries. Her husband suffered
i>. broken leg and was cut and bruis
ed. Coveleski was bruised and
shocked.
The car with its occupants plunged
fifty feet over an embankment to the
Pennsylvania railroad as two freight
locomotives coupled together round
ed a curve nearby, but they stopped
within eleven feet of the car, which

took charge of the victims until an
ambulance from the State Hospital
conveyed Coveleski and his sister to
that institution. Classic was taken to
his home. The accident was caused
by the car skidding. A heavy rain was
falling at the time.

Camp Hill High to
Have Cage Practice
Candidates for Camp Hill High
school varsiety five will be given sig
nal practice by Coach Dunkle this
week. The team up to this time was
instructed in dribbling and shooting
goals. There are about ten of the
fifteen candidates who are likely to
win positions on the teams. The
schedule is being arranged and will
be completed the latter part of this
week. Manager Good is finding it
difficult to arrange games so early in
the season. The season does not open
until November 30.
CARLISLE TEAM IS BUSY
Carlisle, Pa., Oct. 29.—The Carlisle
Indian football team returned late
Saturday from the victory over Johns
Hopkins with but two men injured
in a way worthy of mention. Leroy
and Hermin Carey sprained should
ers and Charley horses and Fllnch
um has insignificant contusions.
Coach Harris will make sure that the
Indians handle the ball frequently
this week. Carlisle's defense was ail
that could have been desired and not
so much attention will be paid to de
fensive tactics during the week. The
work will be largely made up of lim
bering-up exercises. The Mountain
Giants earned their spurs yesterday
and will be given chances right
along.
CRIPPLES AT DICKINSON
Carlisle, Pa., Oct. 29. Three of
Dickinson's first string players will
be out of the game for several davs
on account of Injuries. In the Dela
ware contest Goldstein sustained a
sprained hand in the final period.
Rowes has a bad ankle and Puder
baugh is laid up with torn ligaments
of the shoulder. In spite of the
fierce fight that marked the game,
at Newark, the remainder of the
varsity meni escaped with minor
hurts. The loss of veterans
is not serious as there is an open
date on the schedule for next Satur
day, due to cancellation. Dickinson
next meets F. and M.
STEELTON GIVEN JOLT BY
TECH HIGH'S
DAYHOFF
Twenty-seven hundred people saw
Tech win a decisive 28 to 7 victory
over Steelton on the Island Satur
day afternoon. It came after the
fiercest kind of playing on
sides. The kickoff was made at
3.15 and at 5.33 after darkness had
set in and the fourth quarter had
,luf,t begun, officials called ths con
test.
It was a contest filled with thrills,
every moment being chuck full of
some spectacular playing. Penalties
were numerous on both sides. The
only feature to mar the contest was
the assault on Coach Ryan by Cap
tain Dayhoff. In the second quar
ter Captain Lloyd was forced out
of bounds on the east side of the
field and thrown heavily against
the wire fence. Stunned by the
blow, and being off the field of play.
Coach Ryan who was sitting nearby,
rushed to his assistance.
Spectators Get Busy
Dayhoff, who was in hot pursuit
of the Tech captain came upon the
scene, and struck the Tech coach,
according to on-lookers, a nasty blow
on the upper lip. The incident al
most caused a riot and it was some
time before play was resumed. Be
tween halves Dayhoff apologized to
the Tech coach, and confessed to
losing his head. While the Steelton
captain was the big star for the vis
itors, his actions lost him friends
among the spectators.
The first half was a long dra"wn
out affair. To play the thirty min
utes of actual scrimmage required
an hour and three-quarters. The
first half did not end until a quar
ter ol five. The contest was started
late purposely to give the second
teams an opportunity to play their
contest. At the last moment Steel
ton canceled, but as the time had
been set for the big contest to start
at 3.15 no change was made in the
arrangements.
Tech Had "Pep"
Tech's aggregation showed more
vim, dash and "pep" than any team
lech has put on the field for many
a day. They were out to win, and
Coach Ryan deserves plenty of
credit for the dashing game plaved
by his proteges. It is predicted that
had the last quarter been played
Tech would have added a good many
more points as Steelton was losing
men in every play, and her strength
was fast ebbing. Coach Cocklll's
team deserves lots of credit for the
capable game put up by them. They
were game loosers. The score in de
tail:
First Quarter
• Steelton won the toss and elected
to receive the kick. They defended
the south goal. Ebner kicked off
at 3.15 to Steelton and Krout
brought back the ball 10 yards. On
the first play, Steelton was penalized
10 yards for using hands on the
play. Falling to gain, Dayhoff
kicked, but the punt was blocked,
Tech covering the pigskin.
Lloyd clipped off 12 yards for a
first down. Tech was penalized 15
yards for holding. On a fake kick
formation, Beck made up 10 yards.
Forced to kick, Ebner booted the
ball to Coleman who was down In
his tracks.
After numerous plays, Captain
Dayhoff again took the pigskin and
reeled off 20 yards. But keen-eyed
officials detected off-side play and
the ball was brought back to its
place with a five-yard penalty.
Dayhoff kicked to Lloyd who zig
zagged his way for 70 yards through
the entire team for a first touch
down. On the play, Steelton was
off-side, but Tech refused the pen
alt yand Wils' ich kicked a goal
making the sco: • 7'to 0.
Tecli's h. ond Score
After more hard scrimmages,
Wilsbach made a first down on a 10-
yard run, bringing the ball within
close distance to the goal. In a
series of line plunges, Ebner and
Wilsbach brought the ball to a
striking distance of the goal line,

Few colleges have returned many veteran football players this fall, and
the few who have will hardly care to boast about their victories over col
leges who have sent most of their stars into khaki.
This is no year to chant the glories of a winning eleven. Certainly not
against colleges who have given their best men to a greater game And
football has done its part in such a wonderful way that there may easily
be greater glory for the losing team.
In looking over the various lineups of this fall, with the endless gaps;
In noting the long list of stars who have gone to the front, the collegiate
occasion this drifting autumn Is summed up best by W. M. Letts, in
"THE SPIRES OP OXFORD"
I saw the spires of Oxford
As I Was passing by;
The gray spires of Oxford,
Against a pearl-gray sky;
My heart was with the Oxford men
Who went abroad to die.
The years go fast in Oxford,
The golden years and gay;
The hoary colleges look down
On careless boys at play;
But when, the bugles sound war
They put their games away.
They left the peaceful river,
The cricket-field, the quad,
The shaven lawns of Oxford
To seek a bloody sod;
They gave their merry youth away
For country and for God.
God rest you. happy gentlemen,
Who laid your good lives down.
Who took the khaki and the gun
Instead of cap and gown;
God bring you to a fairer place
Than even Oxford town.
"If football teams." asks a reader, "are not playing for championships
then what are they playing for?" Well, there Is a matter of physical rec
reation and development, keen competition, the fun of the thing and one or
two additional details that hardly come under a championship headline.
KIVALi VALUES
Sir: It Is admitted everywhere that Ty Cobb is the greatest offensive
player in baseball. It is also as widely admitted that Tris Speaker la the
greatest defensive outfleldor. Cobb is a better batßman than Speaker and
Speaker a better fielding outfielder than Cobb. But Is not Speaker nearer
to Cobb in the offensive than Cobb is to Speaker in the defensive? Cobb
has never led Speaker as an outfielder. But only last year Speaker led
Cobb in attack. 3. H . R. (Boston).
There is additional detail to be entered—offensive value Is of greater
worth than defensive value. There are many star outfielders who are de
fensively brilliant. But only a few who can bat above .300 and bring in
the runs. In the way of all-round value, as between Cobb and Speaker,
that debate is too intricate to be settled in one or two phrases Maybe
*a.ter on.
HXRRISBURG rflMb TELEGRAPH
from where Wllsbach went across
the line making the score 13 to 0.
But Steelton was not to be de
nied. With 13 points tallied against
them the visitors began a series of
play, which with a 15-yard penalty
for hurdling by Ebner, placed Steel
ton with 25 yards of the Tech goal
line. A clever forward pass, Krout
to Behman put the ball on the three
yard line. Tech held, but Steelton
was not to be denied, and P.
Wueschlnskl went across on the last
try, making the count 13 to 6. A
moment later Dayhoff added another
point and the first quarter ended
shortly after with a 13 to 7.
Second Quarter
At the start of the second period,
Lingle was substitued for Ebner. It
was Tech's ball on her own 40-yard
line. On the first play "Ted" Lloyd
came around left end for 4 0 yards.
Morrett was injured making the
tackle, and the Maroon cheer
leaders cheered the plucky center
when he resumed play. "Bud"
Lingle clipped off eight more yards.
Players exchanged blows as the re
sult of alleged rough play. Beck
was thrown for a 15-yard loss.
Krout made the tackle and was car
ried off the field. Ziegler was sub
stituted. Beck's failure to gain, put
the ball on Tech's 32-yard line, from
which point Captain Hees Lloyd
kicked a beautiful field goal that
went true, to Its mark, making the
score 16 to 7.
After shaking off four Steelton
tacklers Captain Lloyd was forced
out of bounds and was thrown heav
ily against the wire fence at the cast
side of the field. It was at this
point that Coach Ryan was struck
by Dayhoff. After the ball had ex
changed hands a number of times,
Tech secured the leather on its own
50-yard line with two minutes of
the half to play. On the first line
up Beck ran around left end for a
50-yard touchdown, and planted the
ball between the posts. Wilsbach
missed an easy chance for a point
and the half ended 22 to 7 favor of
Tech.
Third Quarter
At the start of the second half,
darkness was fast settling over the
field ,and to the spectators the 22
players presented a struggling mass
of indistinct Individuals, who could
no longer be distinguished as in
dividual players. The kickoff was
made at 5.03, and it took just 27
minutes to go through the fifteen
minutes of actual playing of the
quarter.
After Tech had carried the ball to
a short distance of the goal, SteeK
ton held, and Tech was forced to
kick. Latftr Tech regained posses
sion of the ball ,and Wilsbach made
the final touchdown bringing the
total to 28 to 7. Soon after the
fourth period began, officials agreed
that further playing was Impossible,
and the game was called. The line

TEAMS STRONG
IN BIG GAMES
Eastern Elevens Surprise in
Many Saturday Contests;
Some Results
Philadelphia, Oct. 29. Develop
ment of unexpected strength on the
part of several elevens thought to be
outclassed by more prominent rivals,
was the feature of the week-end foot
ball play on eastern gridirons. While
there were no form upsets and In
most cases victories were won In ac
cordance with forecasts, the play of
the vanquished teams surprised both
loyal supporters and opposing combi
nations.
A missed goal fpn touchdown was
the margin that defeated Colgate in
its annual contest with Brown, but
the victory was more impressive than
the score would appear to indicate.
The Brunonians, determined to be re
venged for the unexpected defeat of
a year ago, swept the New York
State collegians oft their feet with
the severity of their attack from the
vtrv start Of the game, and by a, well
lrlanced series of plays, scored in the
first period. Brown held the ad- I
vantage thus gained until the latter
portion of the contest, when Colgate
hurled her last ounce of energy
against Brown's defense and managed
to batter her way to a touchdown.
Failure to kick the goal appaared to
act as a tonic on the home eleven
and Brown was able to stave off
further Colgate efforts, winning by
one point.
Manning Roughshod
Syracuse and the Navy ran rough
shod over Tufts and Haverford re
spectively, but the Army found Villa
nova a surprisingly strong opponent,
the score standing 7 to 7 at the end
of the first half. Better physical con
dition and the savage charging of
Oliphant and Wicks proved the turn
ing point In the third period, how
ever. two touchdowns resulting from
(he hard consistent work of the sol
diers' backflelders. Dartmouth also
was scored upon by New Hampshire
and it was not until the final period
that the Hanover eleven awoke to the
size of the task confronting it and by
powerful and sustained charging,
I clinched the victory.
| Rutgers proved entirely too strong
I for Fordham. and Muhlenberg sprang
a surprise on winning by
the aid of two field goals, the only
t-coring of the game. Cornell with an

WESTERN DRIVE
BEGINS TODAY
Hard Fight on For Gridiron
Honors; Chicago Is in
Lead
Chicago, Oct. 29.—With the close
of the "Big Ten" football race less
than a month away coaches of the
four leading elevens—Ohio State,
Illinois, Minnesota and Chicago—to
day be pi i to drive their charges
through five days of training in prep
aration for crucial games next Sat
urday.
With a single exception, favorites
come through Saturday's games on
the winning end and held their op
ponents scoreless. Perhaps the big
gest upset was the 20-to-o defeat of
Nebraska at the hands of Michigan.
The Cornhuskers had been heralded
as one of the strongest teams de
veloped at the Nebraska institution
in years, but after the first period
the Nebraska,defence crumpled and
tlie Wolverines, using short forward
passes, offtackle & rives and lone
plunges, plowed through the line for
consistent gains.
The victory stamps Michigan as
one of the most powerful teams in
the west, although it is not consid
ered in "Big Ten" affairs this season,
as it has only one conference game—
Northwestern—on its schedule.
Chicago Makes Good
Chicago established Itself in the
conference race by defeating North
western, its traditional rival, 7 to 0,
in the bitterest game played on
Stagg field in years. The victory in
dicates that the Chicago eleven will
make a far more creditable showing
in the race than it did last season.
The 2 7-to-0 triumph Illinois scored
over Purdue indicates that Illinois
and Chicago, which clash next Sat
urday, are virtually of equal strength.
Chicago rolled up an identical score
on Purdue a week ago. After being
held scoreless in the first half, Illi
nois played brilliant football in the
final periods and kept the ball in
| Purdue's territory.
Wisconsin had no trouble in taking
lowa into camp, 20 to 0. The Badg-
I ers outweighed their foes and made
I four successive marches down the
I field. Wiscoitsin kept Its new forma
i tlons under cover in preparation for
I Minnesota next Saturday.
Notre Dame Strong
Notre Dame was much too strong
for the heavy South Dakota State
eleven, which fell before a 40-to-0
count. Notre Dam** bewildered .the
Coyotes with forward passes which
were directly responsible fer three
touchdowns. South Dakota was un
able to pierce the Notre Dam lino
and succeeded only once in making a
first down.
The Michigan Aggies, in former
years a power in western football,
are not living up to their reputation
this season. The Aggies continued
their losing streak Saturday, drop
ping the fourth game of their sched
ule to the University of Detroit, 14
to 0.
Democrats Pay Honor
to Fusion Candidates
Philadelphia, Oct. 29. Democratic
leaders and workers have pledged

who opened the meeting, said that the
Democratic party had honored the
Town Meeting candidates by placing

portunity "to raise their voice in pro

which the city has fallen of late
years." He scored the citizens who
took no interest in the affairs of
their municipal government.

Tom Longboat Alive;
After the Other Fellow
Toronto, Oct. 2S.—Tom Longboat,
the famous Indian Marathan runner
who has been twice unofficially re
ported killed in action In France, is
still alive. Captain Tom Flanagan,
former manager of the Indian, who
went overseas with the same battal
ion and has returned to Canada, had

threatens to take action against an
Indian In the United States who has
been representing himself as Long
boat.

ious Longboat," said the letter, in
quaint phraseology. "Now X want

Government."

OCTOBER 29. 1917.
WELLY'S jf CORNER
Unless stronger police protection
is assured at future football games
between Steelton and local high
school teams, all future contests
should be called oft. Occurrences like ,
those of Saturday are a disgrace to!
local scholastic sports. If the Penn-'
sylvania Interscholactlc Athletic As
sociation has any authority, now is'
the time to prove it. 'School officials
should act promptly in efforts fori
clean sport.
There are stories galore about the
Dayhoff incident in Saturday's game.
<'oach Ryan is a hard loser and some
things he was guilty of on Saturday
were direct violations of rules. How
ever, in the Dayhoff mixup he was
only doing what any other man
would have done to an injured play
er, go to Ills assistance. He did not
strike first. Dayhoff's attack when
Ryan's back was turned was coward
ly to say the least.
Dayhoff publicly apologized for his
actions at the end of the first half,
but the damage had been done. It
is impossible to get away from the
bitter feeling when Steelton meets
Harrisburg in any sport. Both teams
roughed it up and the principal rea-
PREVIOUSLY UNCULTIVATED
GARDEN BRINGS RESULTS
That the war gardens of the city were paying propositions is plainly
shown in the report sent to S. 13. Watts, superintendent of war gardens, by
W. S. Dyster, who farmed plot No. 97 at Bellevue Park. This lot was 80
by -100 feet and had been, uncultivated for a number of years. Owing to
the lack of fertilizer the tomato plants did not yield the quantity expected.
The best results obtained from the fourteen kinds of vegetables was from
cucumbers and radishes. According to Mr. Dyster's estimates he cleared
*13.20. The report sent to the superintendent is as follows:
