HUNTING RABBITS IS NOW POPULAR SPORT-STEELTON STAR TELLS HIS STORY
GREENSBURGTO
PLAY SATURDAY
Western Champs Will Have
Eight Letter Men in Their
Lineup Against Tech
When Greensburg High school
visits the Island on Saturday, Tech
will have to face a team that has
been in the championship class over
since 1913. In all these years Greens
burg has never been defeated, and
has seldom been scored upon. Tech
is after the honor of breaking that
streak, and lias just sufficient confi
dence to go out and win the game.
That 117 to 0 score handed to Al
toona, and the victory over Steelton
have given Coach Ryan's lads the
proper amount of assurance, and
the team will be out to land a vic
tory Saturday afternoon.
Game Starts Early
Tech officials will not take any
chances with the game being called
on account of darkness, and have
scheduled the contest for 2.45. Lynn |
will referee, while the umpire will'
be Bruce. Another record crowd isi
looked for, as the Westmoreland I
county eleven will bring several hun- |
dred rooters with them. It is their'
only game this season out of a schtd-1
ule of eleven contests that will be
played away from home.
The Greensburg team is coached!
by A. w. "Buzz" Weabecker, who is]
the only player to win his "G" four
years. After being captain in his;
senior year, he went to Washington I
and Jefferson where he played four!
years of college football and was j
picked by many critics as All-Amer-1
lean center 1n 1915. lie is a pupil of!
"Bcb" Folwell, now coaching Penn. j
Eight Letter Men
The visitors will have eight letter
men on the team that will come to j
this city. Captain and Fullback
Jones has seen three years of serv
ice. Ex-Captain W. C. Griffith is
irtaying his fourth year of football,
ile will run the team from the quar
back position. Reynolds at center
and Knepper at end have played i
three years for Greensburg. Henry j
Alvine, Ray Coleman, John Buch
anan and Manager Henry Painter arc !
playing their second year for the!
team.
One of the big features in connec
tion with the visiting team is the fact
that every fall the team is taken in
to the mountains of Somerset county
to a training camp. This year the
eleven with a number of substitutes,
coaches and trainers spent August
18 to September 1 at "Champion"!
training camp. Tech scrimmaged I
this afternoon against the Academy
team in preparation for the big
game Saturday.
Baseball Magnate Offers
Company to Government
Chicago, Nov. I.—President James
C. Dunn, of the Cleveland American
League Club, has offered his services
and has placed at the disposal of the
government the large construction
company of which he is the head.
He said that his company has just
completed forty-seven miles of rail
road in Indiana and that It Is pre

"I have put our company at the j
disposal of the government without \

of the New York Americans, who is
with an engineering regiment in
France."
Mr. Dunn said he was in favor of a
shorter playing schedule for the ma
jor leagues next season.

THE GREAT ADVENTURER
With all its misery and death.
Its battered hills and shattered plains,
, With all its drift of poisoned breath,
Its lashing gales, its sodden rains—
We know—with all Its bleak despair,
With all its phantom exodus,
That somewhere —somewhere Over There
The Great Adventure beckons us.
We know in Flan.ders bloody sod
How deep they sleep in endless dreams;
We know how many crosses nod
By silent hills and shadowed streams.
But through the ghostly drifts that play
We know, through bugle, fife and drum,
That somewhere Over There to-day
The Great Adventure whispers "Come!"
We know the rare thanks we should feel
So far from any foe's advance,
Safe from the shrapnel and the steel
Which rains its fury down on France;
But in our hearts We also know
The old content's forever gone,
Where on some far dream's undertow
The Great Adventure calls us on.
By all the ghosts of No Man's Land,
Through all its fury, flame and liood.
On through the anguish each must stand
In wallow-drilts of mud and blood
On through whatever hells may wait
With marching feet and rolling drum,
Beyond the iinal grip of Fate
The Great Adventure whispers "Come!"

HARRD3BURG CFTHTELEGRAPH
RECORD SCORES
IN TIE SHOOTOFF
Three Performances That Are
Entitled to More Consider
ation Than Is Given
BY PETER I'. CARNEY
Editor National Sports Syndicate
There are many excellent achieve
ments in sport hidden 'away each
year through the failure of some per
son or persons to turn the calcium
to .the right spot.
Going over some trapshootlng fig
ures, we ran across three excellent
performances and wo are doing this
much to try and see that they get
the light of day.
These three performances are
sliootoffs of ties and one of them is
without question the greatest shoot
oft ever recorded. This was between
Andy Fllckinger, of Vallejo, Cal., a
grizzled veteran, and Owen E. Evans,
of Los Angeles, Cal., a you-ngster, and
the veteran got the decision.
Fllckinger and Evans tied for sec
ond honors in a shoot of the Vernon
(Cal.) Gun Club, with 198 breaks
in 200 targets. On the shootoff
Flickinger broko If 9 to Evans' 108
targets. There isn't another shoot
off in history that required 200 tar
gets to determine a winner. Each
shooter broko twenty straight on the
first string and eaeh missed one in
the second string of twenty. Flick
inger broke 177 straight to finish,
while Evans ran 160 before he miss
ed a target in the tenth string. There
m y have been better shooting than
this some time, some place, but it
has not come before our notice.
Another Rig Event
Another great shootoff that went
by totally unnoticed was the one for
third place in the preliminary han
dicap of the Grand American Trap
shooting tournament. As the shoot
ers had the.same handicaps in the
Grand American event, the tie was
shot off as the men went down the
line, and, therefore, it passed off
without any one giving it attention
at the time.
There were eleven men tied for
third place with ninety-SAven breaks,
but after the first string of twenty in
the Grand American there were only
three left—John B. Lallanee, of
Huntington, West Va.; C. D. McGnry,
of Hammond, Ind.. and W T . L. Hayes,
of Dwight, 111. Hayes dropped out
on the second string. ' Lallanee and
MeGary went down to the fifth string
—the entire 100 targets in the Grand
American, to determine a winner.
They broke the same number of
targets on each twenty, excepting the
fifth, when McGary missed five and
Lallanee two.
Tom Ilalc Loses
Tom Hale, of Mt. Pleasant, had
won the Tennessee state champion-J
ship three years in succession. This
year he went to the shoot with a
team-mate, J. B. Fite. Hale went out
with ninety-nine—a score that look-;
ed good for the fourth championship, j
Fite was one down in eighty and
went straight on his last twenty and
tied his pay for the title. It re
quired sixty targets to decide the
winner, Fite breaking fifty-nine and
Hale fifty-eight, all the targets be
ing lost in the third twenty. Hale and
Fite returned*to Mt. Pleasant as they
came—friends and together.
Only champions or runners up can
represent their states in the National
Amateur Championship event, nnd
Fite graciously withdrew in favor of
Hale, who is regarded as the best
shot in Tennessee. And Hale was
good enough to be in the squad that
broke 200 straight in the champion
ship event.
CHARLEY WHITE DYING
New York, Nov. I.—Chariey White,
known throughout the country as the
referee of important boxing bouts
who has been ill for a number of
months of a complication of diseases,
was reported to-day to be dying at
his home. White's last appearance
in the ring as a referee was at the
Willard-Moran ..fight in New York,
March 25. 1916.
GOOD BASEBALL
AFTER WAR ENDS
President John K. Tener Says
Game Will Be More Popu
lar; Predicts New Life
New York, Nov. I.—Whatever set
back professional baseball may be
forced to endure because of the war,
John K. Tener, president of the Na
tional League, is convinced that in
the lons run the war will do Amer
lea's great game a tremendous
amount of good. He already is look
ing forward to the harvest days
which will come after a declaration
of peace.
"Baseball will get a wonderful im
petus after the war," said the former
Pennsylvania Governor yesterday.
"In fact, it is getting it now, but the
full fruits will be reaped after the
soldiers return to civil life.
K\jwH'ts Reawakening
"I look for a reawakening of base
ball interest all over the country aa*
soon as hostilities end. This will be
especially true in territory which is
now suffering most. The chain of
minor leagues which entwined the
country up to three or four years ago
will all be back, with a new vigor
and supported by a fresh interest.
"Generally speaking, the major
league clubs are weathering the war
most satisfactorily, but peace will
bring a new era of prosperity to the
•major league clubs. I wouldn't mind \
having a big league franchise my
self after this war. It certainly will I
be worth having.
New Records Coming
"In fact, I look for the big leagues
to surpass their previous best records
after we emerge from this struggle.
"There'is no time in the recent
history of our country in which the
real red-blooded Americanism of our
people has been so manifest as In
the last few weeks. It took a little
time, for it to reach the surface, but
now that it is aroused it will increase
In volume until It wins the war. That
slptrit of Americanism will need an
outlet when the boys come home
and will find a natural one In base
ball."
RED CROSS MASQUERADE

STAR
~ TELLS HIS STORY
HARRY F. ROTE
Another popular football star ans
wered his country's call to-day. For
mer Central High Captain Harry F.
Rote was numbered with the Na
tional Guard contingent that left for
Governor's Island. "Rotey" camo
from Gettysburg College yesterday,
leaving a big hole in the varsity
lineup there. He has been doing
great work for the battlefield boys
this season.
Captain Rote last night was the
guest of . friends at a "feed" and lat
er attended a dance at Winterdale.
To-day many of his friends were
on hand to say farewell to the popu
lar athlete, including "Shorty"
Miller.
Word was sent to Central High
students too late to arrange for a
large representation from that in
stitution. Professor H. G. Dibble
expressed his regrets because of the
late notification, as it was intended
to have at least 200 in line this
morning.
Duck Shooting Is on
at Susquehanna Flats;
Report Game Plentiful
Baltimore, Md„ Nov. 1. —Sports-
men are getting ready for the open
ing of the duck shooting season.
Bush River Gunpowder, Salt Petre
and Magothy River shooting seasons
are on to-day. Shooting on the Sus
quehanna Flats will not start until
to-morrow morning. Shooting on the
flats will start before sun
rise. This, is ah October change in
the law and is known by only a few.
In Cecil and Harford counties, ac
cording to the conservation laws of
Maryland, wild fowl may be law
fully killed only on Mondays, Wed
nesdays and Fridays from November
1 and Saturdays are included front
January 1 to end of season. As to
day is Thursday and the Susque
hanna Flats are included in these
counties, shooting there will start on
Friday.
The taking over the property
around Gunpowder Neck by the
United States government for prov
ing grounds for big guns will mean
the passing of a number of shooting
clubs that have been in existence
since the year one.
Reports from the flats state that
there are myriads of wild fowl there
feeding on the wild celery that
grows there in abundance. It is said
by prominent gunners of the coun
try that the flats around Havre de
Grace are the best feeding grounds
for wild fowl in the East. Prom
inent sportsmen of New York and
Philadelphia always make the flats
their mecea for shooting ducks.
There are plenty of ducks on South
river. This is unusual, for they do
not arrive there until the cooler
jveather. From present prospects,
the 1917-18 will be the best duck
shooting season in years. The cold
snap will prove a boon, as <Jold
weather in the North sends ducks in
great numbers to this section.
'CENTRAL HIGH
TO CUT ALL TAX
Athletic Council Decides to
Keep Prices Intact; Last
Year For Football
This season will wind up football
sport at Central High school. An-
I
nouncemcnt was made last night,
following a meeting of the Athletic
Council. No action was taken re
garding other sports. All athletics at
the school are governed by this coun
cil, which includes members of the
faculty and students.
The question of placing a revenue
tax of all admissions to the local
football games was discussed, but no
! matter what the final decision is,
no extra charge will be made by
Central, the local association assum
ing that burden.
Games Are Exempt
However, it has been decided that
scholastic football Is exempt from I
taxes. It is probable that the Athle
tic Council at Tech will take sirni-}
lar action.
Central High council includes Pro-'
fessor H. G. Dibble, principal; Bert- j

Thinks He Has Boon Treated
Unjustly; Sorry For
His Actions
That Captain If. O. Dayhoff, of the
Steelton High School eleven is doing
everything In his power to prove he
acted hastily last Saturday, is shown
in a letetr sent to the Harrisburg
Telegraph. Captain Dayhoff allowed
Ids true sportsmanship when he
apologized to Coach Ryan. The letter
follows:
"Dear Sir:
"The story, you published in the
paper about me was correct, but it
was not all there. Did you not forget
the cause, which prompted me to act
in thut manner? You certainly are
ready to jump to conclusions very
quickly. Instead of helping one out
of trouble, as you ihould. .vou put
them as far back as possible.
"I have been playhg football for
the past four years, with Steelton
High school, and 1 (ilways tried to
play a fair, clear! game, but some
how, it seems that some one is al
ways finding fault (especially in
Harrisburg). There is nothing 1 like
to see better than a clean game of
football.
Desires to Ite Friendly
"I have many friends on the Cen
tral and Tech football teams and al
ways try to treat them as such.
"Last Saturday when Hees Lloyd
was tackled and thrown out of
bounds, he lay there seemingly hurt.
I went to his assistance. Captain
Lloyd is a personal friend of mine
and in my estimation is the best play
er on the Tech team.
"While I was stooping to pick him
up, Coach Kyan came up and pushed
me away. That wasn't enough but he
made several passes at me with his
hands. Any person, with red blood in
his veins, would have acted as I did,
on the spur of the moment.
"Forgetting that I was a gentle
man, I struck Mr. Ryan in the mouth
and knocked him down. The moment
after I was very sorry that 1 had act
ed in such a rude manner. After the
crowd had been disbursed we con
tinued the twenty-four-minute quar
ter.
Makes Apology
"When the whistle blew for the
first half I sought Coach Ryan and
made a public apology to him. The
exact words of Mr. Ryan are as fol
lows: 'lt is all right my young man,
it was my fault. I should not have
been so hasty in my actions.'
"I suppose Mr. Ryan did not know
the feeling that existed between the
captains and acted that way because
he thought the opposite.
"If you will kindly think of a fel
low's future and putting a black spot
on a college career, you will not pub
lish an article that about any
player, not matter where he plays.
"Yours sincerely,
"H. O. DAYHOFF."
Rabbit Season Is on;
Harrisburg Hunters Out
Rabbit season in Pennsylvania was
cshered in to-day. From everywhere
reports come that the game is plen
tiful. Hunters were also many to
day. Harrisburg, according to rail
road ticket agents, sent no less than
300 to the fields early to-day. In
addition to this number, many went
by automobile, and a large number
left for their favorite hunting ground
yesterday.
Rabbit hunters have their favorite
places to hunt and there are many
within a short distance of Harris
burg. While it is the custom of
sportsmen to get away from home as
far as possible on a one-day hunt,
not a few went to the field over trol
ley routes. If every hunter from
Harrisburg gets his day's limit of
ten rabbits to-day. no less than 3,000
rabbits will come to Harrisburg to
night.
