Name Conditions For
Sir Thomas Lipton
Boston. Mass., Nov. B. C. 11. W.
Foster, Henry A. Taggard and the
syndicate of Eastern Yacht Club
members who hold the old racing
schooner America, are willing that
Sir Thomas J. Lipton, shall have her
under certain conditions. A cable
asking Sir Thomas just what ho
wants the yacht for was sent by Hol
lis Burgess, who represents Sir
Thomas in the deal..
American yachtsmen want the his
toric vessel to remain a yacht or it
marine musSum, and are opposed to
having her go abroad. If the reply
comes that Sir Thomas wants the
craft for a yacht, but for foreign
service, the deal will not be closed.
AVhat has led the syndicate to oven
consider his offer is the fact that un
official reports have come to this
country lately that Sir Thomas de
sired to purchase America and pre
sent her to American yachtsmen in
order to prevent her being broken
up.

NEXT SEASON'S SCHEDULE
The Technical High School squad
held another hard scrimmage
against the seco.id team yestertlcy
afternoon in preparation tor the
contest to be played at Stee'.ton Sat
urday afternoon. Maroon players
feel they are collectively the better
team, and are going out to win. Bi
monthly reports show that the
players are keeping up their <col
astic work, and the entire first team
will be eligible to play.
Lock Haven High School appeors
to be backing out of tho game they
have scheduled with Tech for next
Saturday, and it is probable 'hat iho
local team will be without a contest
for November 17. An effort will bo
ifinde to bring a strong team to this
nlty, as Central also has an open date
at that time. Tech refused several
other attractive offers in or to play
Lock Haven, because of the chaoi
plcnship pretensions of tho Clinton
county aggregation.

It isn't very likely that any one is going to select an All-Amcrican or
All-Sectional eleven this season, —not with three-fourths of those who might
have been gridiron stars for the autumn drive serving under the colors.
But even with so many of the front-bankers out of football harness, the
strength of backfield stars who remain is an unusual thing
For if these were ordinary time/ one could even now select a backfield
to compare with the high average of the past.
Note tho list of eligibles: Oliphant, of the Army; Berry, of Pennsylva
nia; Guyon and Strupper, of Georgia Tech; McLaren, of Pittsburgh; Harley,
of Ohio State; Weimann, of Michigan—and the list is only started.
Even past seasons would have found it surpassingly difficult to have
offered four finer backfield men than Olipliant. Berry. Guyonjxnrt Harley—
a quartet that combines tremendous power with baffling speed.
THE UPWARD SHADE
Outside of David, who dropped Goliath, we recall no lightweight who
leversentaheavyweightin.thedu.sk. . _
| But byway of gradual margins it might be proved that a lightweight
i isn't so back after all.
I Follow this (system —
Leonard knocked out Welsh; Welsh fought a draw with Packey Mc-
I Farland; McFarland fought a draw with Mike Gibbons; Gibb6ns outpointed
j Jack Dillon; Dillon whipped Frank Moran, and Moran. easily remained N ttae
l limit With Jess Willard.
Yet between the two extreme gaps the margin of weight is nearly 130
' pounds. 'Leonard won his title around 133; Willard weighed 260 when he
lought Moran.
This might be used as proof that the comparative score system isn't any
too sound-by way of arriving, at accurate results.
THE TWO \VAM,OI'ERS
Some one started the argument as to the hardest hitters or the hardest
hitter baseball had ever produced.
The range, including some fifty years and from 15,000 to 20,000 entries,
I left plenty of room for debate.
Thev began with Pop Anson, picked up With Larry Lajoie, and ended
I tho 1917 list with Babe Ruth.
We put the query to a Xew veterans, still left as managers or inspectors,
who had ween the best.
They had two votes to turn in. The first was for Ed Delehanty; the
other was for Sam Crawford.
It was the combined opinion of these ,ludges that Delehanty nnd Craw
ford could hit a baseball harder than any other men up and down, the
roster —not overlooking Anson, Lajoie, Wagn,er, Baker, Schulte, Cravath or
other home run monarchs known to tho slugging fame of the sport.
Certainly the last ten years have produced no harder hitter than Sam
Crawford. The Wahoo barber had the wallop beyond all competition.
| But the old birds say that Delehanty could outhit even. Crawford when it
] settled down Jo a matter of force. %
The verdict was that for the closing year Babe Ruth headed the parade
| with the lustiest punch. And there was also Wally Pipp, an erratic hitter,
1 but one blessed with terrific driving force, once he connected with his com
j plete power.
Joe Jackson and Fred Merkle formed another brace who could lay the
I tempered hickory against the ball. And still another is Dave Robertson.
| Robertson and Jackson have outranged the field at the Polo Grounds, al
i though one of Mike Donlin's ancient blows is still given a draw by more
than a few who recalled Mike's,longest smash a good many seasons back.
"If the German system was adopted in sport." suggests an exchange,
"there would be no rules in any game." There'd be one, at least—a heavy
penalty against any type of fair play or sportsmanship.

this season; Tech is looking forward
to a schedule for next season, that
will consist of practically r.ll home
games. The one exception will be
with Grcensburg. Tech will have to
go out there next Fall, but will likely
play all the remainder of its sched
ule at home. Such arrangement will
likely prove popular with the fans
who are accustomed to see'ng one
of the High schools, in act:<sn every
Saturday.
With the Tech-Central contest on
Thanksgiving a thing of the past
after this month, Tech will be look
ing around for another apporont
that will draw well on that day.
Most promising among the oppo
nents is-Steelton. With little diffi

in Harrisburg could bo arranged ror

ASK DECISION
ON TAX ORDERS
Announcement From Wash
ington to Be Interpreted;
Means Cut in Profits
Officials of the local High schools
will not pay any war tax on foot
ball games until a decision is given
covering .scholastic games. An
nouncement in a morning paper that
the High schools in this city "must"
pay a tax will be investigated. In
other parts of the state high school
athletic associations have been given
to understand that they come un
der the educational clause and are
exempt from tax.
Dr. Charles B. Fager, Jr., principal
of Technical High school, said that
Section No. 700, as interpreted 4iere,
does not include high school games,
but in order to be right he would ask
for a decision from (he revenue tax
collector of this district. There is
no kick about paying the tax :f tho
law requires, but if reports are true
from other cities about high school
games being exempt, it is the be
lief here that Harrisburg is also ex
empt.
Would Cut Receipts
For the Thanksgiving Day game
the tax is a matter of S3OO. Due to
the fact that local schools have not
had a big season this is an item in
summing up the season's profits.
Both High schools have agreed to
eliminate the tax on admission tick
ets and pay out of the general fund
if necessary- When the tax pro
visions were announced sometime
ago a decision was printed in a
Washington, D. C., paper stating that
high school football games did not
come under the tax provisions.
Reading High will be the attrac-
I tion at Island Park Saturday and
every effort will Vie made to have
| an official interpretation given as to
j football games. Notwithstanding that
Tech plays at Steelton, a large crowd
is expected at Island Park for this
game, and it will be necessary to
know positively about the law be
fore that time.
Reading will send a strong team
to this city, accompanied by a large
crowd of rooters. Unusual interest
is manlfeo'.ed in this contest. Cen

Athletes in Army
Out of a total of 34 0 students en
rolled at Washington and Jefferson
last year, 102 have entered some
i branch of the national service.
Among thiS number are eighteen

It U made evident in the produc
tion of "Kigliting Odds" in which
Maxine Elliott, the noted
Mnxlne beauty, makes her first ap-
Klliott pearance as a star in film
at the dom. that the producers
(ulonlnl have overlooked no oppor
tunity for realism. '1 here
are two scene's in this
photographed at places which are
widely known. One of these is at
Sherry's, in Fifth Avenue, New York
City and the other is at Sing Sing.
The 'scene at Sherry's shows the fam
ous restaurant with its many notables
seated around the tables. Aneone
who has ever been in Sherry s will
readily recognize the diningroom.
The scene showing a vindicated and
wrongly-convicted man leaving prison
and another going in to take his
nlace was taken at the gate of Sing
prison. "Fighting Odds" will be
the attraction at the Colonial Theater
the last three days of this week.

Mniextlc titled "Storyland," and is

bill. He was formerly a star with
George Cohan's Revue, and is an ex
cellent comedian. Saxton and Farrell,

In his country's service during this
war was a Washington and Jefferson
football player. Captain Ralph L.

Two Red and Black football players
of last year's team were on the west
ern front in France long before the
United States entered the war and
one is now flying with the French
armies. Of the ten men on the pres
ent s<iuad who are over 21 years of
age, live endeavored to enter some
form of service last summer and
were rejected While two others, un
der 21 years of ago, were refused en
trance to the Ollicers Reserve Corps
training camp because of their youth.
Since college and the football season
opened this year one player has been
called as a volunteer to the
and another has enlisted and is sub
ject to call at any time. •
The squad at Washington and
Jefferson this year has been reduced
by the absence of enlisting men un
til it comprises but twenty-nine play
ers. Coach Metzger said to-day that
he had ha'd but three practice scrim
mages this year, on account of this
inability to muster a scrub eleven
that would be able to f' .nish any
opposition to the regular team. In
spite of this situation and the exist
ing conditions, Washington and Jef
ferson has, apparently a much better
ele\'en than it had last season, and
its chances to defeat Pitt arc regard
ed as very much better than in 1916.
'THEKNIFEHAS
EXCELLENT CAST
Audience at Orpheum Shows
Appreciation of Ability of
. Leading Characters
It is undoubtedly the ability of the
cast which makes "The Knife," a
melodrama by Eugene Walter, a suc
cess.
The leading one are Olive Wynd-
J ham, Harry Mestayer and Henry
I Mortimer, all of whom with difficult
parts, displayed the sincere and
I earnest effort for success, which is so
j necessary to make a play of this type
I real istic.
I The story of "The Knife" is one
which involves a number of crimes,
j including the kidnaping of a doctor's
fiancee, her rescue by friends after
she had been drugged in a fortune
| telling establishment, and the doctor's
I revenge by using the persons who
I held the girl, as his patients in ex
perimenting to discover the cure for
| a terrible disease.
What the district attorney's office
thinks about these things brings
about the climax to the story when
the doctor is told that his actions,
though legally violations of criminal
law, were justified by the ends which
he accomplished by finding his cure.
Marry Mestayer, as William Mere
dith, an attorney and close friend of
the doctor, and who aided In res
cue of (he girl his friend was to
marry, came in for a large share of
the applause by the Orpheum audi
ence last night for his fine portrayal.
Oordon Burby, as Ellis, an assistant
to Meredith, also did well. Mr. Mor
timer. as l)r. Manning, and Olive
Wyndham, as his fiancee, were the
other two principals who deserved
the commendation they received.
To outline a plot such as the one
in "The Knife," and then offer aiplay
based on it, requires extreme care that
it does not become too full of stories
of criminal offenses. Only the high
principle set forth and the sacrifices
made in connection with these result
in a successful melodrama such as
"The Knife."'

Local High school officials have

and the inclination to keep from i
paying a tax on football games, must
not be taken as unpatriotic. If the

Financial success means a fund to
