CENTRAL PRIMED FOR READING HIGH ELEVEN-TECH AND STEELTON REST TODA
MANY BIDDERS
FOR BIG SHOOTS
Interstate Association Re
elects Officers; Discuss
Important Changes
New York, Nov. 9. —The Interstate
Association for the Encouragement
of Trapshooting opened its annual
convention in the Ninirod Room in
the Astor Hotel, and most of the ses
iorv was devoted to discussion of
*van,s:ea% m tho conduct of
the tournaments throughout the
country for the coming year. Only
one of the twenty-four delegates eli
gible was absent. Officers were
elected as follows: T. Hayer Keller,
New York City, president: Fowler
Manning, New Haven, vice-president;
E. Reed Shaner, Pittsburgh, secre
tary; Elmer E. Shaner, Pittsburgh,
treasurer and manager. It was the
twenty-sixth time that the senior
Shaner was elected to the office of
treasurer and manager and a testi
monial dinner was given to him by
the delegates In the recognition of
the rounding out of twenty-five years
o£ service. A diamond shrine pin was
[-resented to him as a momento.
Amateur* Only
One of the chief points of discus
sion was the entire elimination of
professionals in the amateur events.
It was proposed that the profession
als should shoot on Monday of the
Grand American Handicap week for
the professional championship and
then refrain from the competition
during the rest of the week. Another
lively discussion was held over the
question of class shooting and it met
with the approval of many of those
present. J. Leonard Clark brought
out statistics to show that there are
only seven per cent, of the competi
tors in the country who could be
classed as stars and he said he
thought it about time that the othei'
93 per cent, should receive such con
sideration. The class division will
probably be carried to-morrow.
R. W. Peacock, of the South Shore
Country Club, of Chicago, made an
application for his club to hold tne
Grand American Handicap next year.
This club had the event this year.
There was no other application. To
t'ay applications were received for
the Eastern, Southern, Western and
Pacific Coast tournaments. Also the
formal application for the Grand
American was made. R. A. Johnson,
representing the Peoria, (111.) Gun
Club, asked for thd Western contest.
Roy Mclntire, of Butler, Pa., runner
up in the amateur championship,
acked for the Eastern, as did the For
est Hills Gun Club, of New York, and
E. R. Galvin, for Wilmington, Del.,
while Omaha is going to make a
strong hid for the Western, Louis
ville and Birmingham want the
Southern.
l,e** Teiun Event*
There was quite a lively lot of talk
about limiting the number of tourna
ments in the various states, accord
ing to the population. It was pointed
out that last season lowa had sixty
one registered tournaments, more
than one a week. Many of the mem
bers think that this is too much and
that more attention should be paid
to quality than to quantity.
A rule was passed that In the fu
ture there will be 100 money prizes
in the Grand American. Ii previous
years there were only fifty prizes.
That was figured in'the olden days
on a field of 250 shooters, but in the
last five years there have been any
v/here from 500 to 800 contestants.
The new rule will be that where the
contestants (xceed 350 In the pre
liminary handicap and Grand Amer
i< an there will be 100 moneys. If the
f;, id is less than 350 there will be the
ri'.ual fifty prizes.

' FRIDAY EVENING,
TWO IMPORTANT GAMES
ON TOMORROWS SCHEDULE;
INDIANS MEET GEORGETOWN
New York, Nov. 9. —Two games
stand out on the Eastern football
schedule of the morrow as giving
promise of being close, hard-fought
contests. These are the meeting of
Pennsylvania and Dartmouth at Bos
ton and the Pittsburgh-Washington
and Jefferson struggle at Pittsburgh.
In other respects the Saturday list
of gridiron combats is not likely to
be productive of either form or score
upsets.
Judged upon their season records,
Dartmouth and Pennsylvania appear
to be reasonably evenly matched and
the outcome is likely to be a small
margin victory for the eleven which
is the more alert and quicker to take
advantage of the breaits in the play.
Last season the teams of these two
colleges played a 7 to 7 tie, but this
fact has little bearing upon the result
of to-morrow's contests, as very few
of the men who participated in that
struggle are now wearing moleskins.
The Quakers have played seven
games to date, winning five and be
ing defeated by Pittsburgh and Geor
gia Tech. Dartmouth has won all
six games scheduled thus far this
season, the defeats of West Virginia
and Penn-State being the outstand
'ng features.
Pittsburgh Record Host
The record of the University of
Pittsburgh eleven is more impres
sive than that of Washington and
Jefferson, but the latter combination
is one of great strength and has been
especially pointed for this struggle.
It is certain that the smaller college
team will give the Panthers the hard
est kind of a gridiron battle before
they will admit defeat. In their
game of a year ago Pittsburgh won
from Washington and Jefferson by
a score of 37 to 0, but it is doubtful
if the preesnt team will duplicate
these figures.
In the other games of the day in
which the more prominent elevens
of the section are scheduled to par
ticipate the outcome appears to be
more a question of scores than vic
tory or defeat. Both the Army and
Navy teams should win from their
respective opponents, Carlisle In
dians and Georgetown, rrutgers ap
pears to have the edge on the
Springfield Y. M. C. A. Training
School eleven, although the latter
combination is exceedingly proficient
in the use of the forward pass in all
its variations. Colgate should win
from St. Bonaventure, but both
Syracuse and Swarthmore will find
Bucknell and Lafayette, respectively,
more difficult to subdue.
Ambulance Team to
Play Games on Coast
Allentown, ,Nov. 9.—lt was an
nounced yesterday that the United
States Ambulance Corps football
team, which will play Eddie Mahan's
Marines on Franklin Field to-mor
row, will In all probability on New
Year's play the University of Califor
nia, the collegiate champions of the
Pacific Coast, at the Festival of Roses
at Pasadena. The contest will mean
a three weeks' trip across the con
tinent for the players, this game tak
ing the place of that between Penn
and Oregon at the same festival last
New Year's.
The schedule would also Include a
game at San Francisco with the Ma
rines of that place, who are the cham
pions of the far west. So far as the
Ambulance Service eleven is con
cerned and also the University of
California and the San Francisco
Marines, all arrangements for the
trip and games are completed. The
plan has the recommendation of Colo
nel E. E. Persons, the commander of
the Allentown camp, and all that is
needed is the approval of official
Washington, which it is believed will
be granted.
The principal games of the day, to
gether with the scores where the
same institutions met a year ago, are
as follows:

STATE LEAGUE
MAY CONTINUE
Sunday Baseball Would Be
Big Help to the Far
rell Circuit
Syracuse, N. Y., Nov. 9. —Provid-
ing the proposed law to legalize Sun
day baseball In New York City and
throughout the state is adopted be
fore the spring of 1918, it is be
lieved the New York State League
magnates will decide to reconsider
their vote not to open the parks next
season and instead will decide for a
continuation of business. Such a
prediction was offered to-night in
local baseball circles.
With Sunday baseball allowed In
New York state cities, it is pointed
out that Albany, Troy and possibly
Schnectady would be able to again
sustain professional baseball, should
the league be operated on a more
economical plan than heretofore. It
is pointed out that when Sunday
games were permitted in Albany
and Troy the magnates managed to
struggle along, even though the week
day crowds were slim, but once the
patronage on Sunday was killed by
interference on the part of the au
thorities the club owners could not
meet the expenses and were com
pelled to quit.
One Town Bettor ,
Of the three New York state cities
making up the State league last sea
son, only Binghamton would profit
through a change in the law, Inas
much as the games at Syracuse and
Elmira were never prohibited. It is
through the possibility of the league
rebuilding Its circuit so that more
Sunday cities would be taken In that
the proposed new law would offer the
greatest assistance to the organiza
tion as a whole.
President Farrell, of the New
York State League, who has his
headquarters located at Auburn,
could not be found to-night in order
to gain his views on the subject.
However, it is known he is working
hard to have the change in the law
put through, realizing, as he must,
that the future of the league over
which he has been presiding for
over twenty years depends on It.
Mr. Farrell Is to leave for Louisville
on Sunday to attend the annual meet
ing of the National Baseball Asso
ciation. After that it is possible
something more definite regarding
the league's plans for 1918 will be
given out.
Teams Work Hard For
Big Army-Navy Battle
Allentown, Nov. 9.—The final drive
for the big game hetween the "Usaac"
eleven and the Marines at Franklin
Field to-morrow hit the Ambulance
squad yesterday, for Coach Clarke
ordered his men to assemble for the
first time this season for a morning
practice at the Muhlenberg College
field. The workout was a secret one.
Pike Johnson, figured on as orte of
the mainstays of the "Usaac" de
fense and out pf the game on ac
count of injuries at recent practice,
returned to work with the squad and
he will undoubtedly be In the lineup
against the soldiers of the sea. This
v.-11l make the first defense of the
Am-uiance team virtually as strong
as It has been all season.
The various new plays which have
been a feature of the practice dur
ing the last week are being polished
off for the onslaught against Mahan's
men, and football fans may witness
some sensational surprises in the
strategy of the "Usaac" team in the
game.
Two entire battalions left camp
this morning bound for the Quaker
City, where they are to give exhibi
tions during Friday and Saturday and
participate In the military parade
Saturday. More than thirty trucks
are accompanying the hikers, all of
the men being in heavy marching
order. •
The Marines finished their last liard
football workout yesterday afternoon
at Philadelphia with a hurst of speed
which promised much for the success
of the "gyrenes" on Saturday. Never
before have the men shown so much
speed and accuracy in their work,
and Mahan smiled for the first time
since the reversal received at the
hands of Camp Meade officers last
week. The confidence of the ITsaacs
scet.-ed to arouse the real spirit. As
a result the men performed with ex
ceptional "pep" prevailing.
Academy Eleven Plays
Yeates School Tomorrow
.Team Is in Good Shape
Harrisbur'g Academy eleven will go
to Lancaster to-morrow for the an
nual game with Yeates School team.
The trip to Lancaster is always en-
Joyed by the Academy squad and is
made nearly every year to play one
of the numerous schools at Lancaster.
Flans have been made to go to Lan
caster by train Saturday and the team
will leave Saturday morning.
A rally was held after school to
day and Coach Gavin and Captain
Stone addressed the school and urged
support of the team. Coach Gavin
is very hopeful over the outcome of
the g£me and is doing everything in
his power to make the contest a vic
tory for the Blue and Gold. The squad
has been put through a stiff signal
practice daily and a blackboard talk
was given by Coach Gavin yesterday.
Several new plays have been intro
duced and much is expected of them.

With the little attention given
some high teams by home
newspapers,* It is no wonder the
sport lags in those towns. There is
a champion team located somewhere
In Pennsylvania that had been a
world-beater. Outside newspapers
have given twenty lines of publicity
to one In the home paper.
Of course, it would be unfair to
compare all towns with Harrisburg.
This "burg" has the "pep" when it
comes to taking care of sports.
However, as one of the players on
an outside team put it, "we prefer
out-of-town games because of the
wide publicity we get. We scarcely
know we are playing on a team un
less the players read it in an out
side newspaper."
According to reports. Coach Ryan,
of the Tech High team, has invented
several camouflage formations. He
expects to try them out at Steeiton
to-morrow. Speed is the best camou
flage for any team to work. Getting
into action and pulling off a play
so that the opposing team does not
see It, counts everything.
Local hunters are easing up for
the wild turkey season. The open
ing day is Thursday, November 15.
Hunters will have but two weeks.
Present indications are that few wild
turkeys will be killed this season.
Hunters who have been out after
rabbits and other game report very
few turkeys.
Philadelphia Is going to have a
real Army-Navy game to-morrow.
