FOOTBALL DOPESTERS FELL DOWN IN SATURDAY'S RESULTS-TIE GAME AT ISLAND
FOOTBALL TEAMS
FOOL DOPESTERS
Penn Is One Big Surprise Sat
urday; Ohio State Is
Again Winner
Philadelphia, Nov. 19. —Several
surprising lapses in the supposed
form of prominent football teams
"was the outstanding feature of the
eastern college football games of the
week end. Pennsylvania swept Michi
gan from her pedestal of undefeated
supremacy; Tufts upset Dartmouth,
and Fordham completely outplayed
Cornell. While these reversals were
few in comV>arison to the many
games which resulted as was gen
erally expected, nevertheless they
marked the day as one of unusual
gridiron performances.
The downfall of Michigan will be
subject of discussion and controversy,
not so much because the Westerners
were defeated, as the manner in
which the losers played and the sur
prising result of a game which was
expected to be one of the best of the
football year.
Dopesters Upset
Judged on their past performances
and records, the Wolverines were
conceded to have a slight advantage
over Pennsylvania before the game
started. A close, hard contest was
looked for, but never developed, for
the local collegians took command of
the situation at the beginning of the
game and never ceased their aggres
sive tactics until victory had been
achieved.
Cornell was utterly unable to cope
with the aerial attack of Fordham,
backed by the general power and ver
satility of the visitors' backfield.
Dartmouth showed the effects of the
recent hard games against formid
able opponents and was unable to
hold Tufts' aggressive combination
In check.
Easy Victories
Among the other leading elevens,
victories came easier and more in ac
cordance with football form. Syra-:
cuse triumphed over Colgate by a
satisfactory score. Both Army and,
Navy swept their opponents before
them until huge, one-sided scores I
had been rolled up. Villanova suc
ceeded in kicking a field goal against
the Middies, but the Lebanon Valley
team was unable to score against the
Cadets.
Pittsburgh continued its triumph
ant march by winning handily from
Carnegie Tech; Georgia Tech anni
hilated the Carlisle Indians; Brown
won from Colby; Lafayette piled up
a large total of points at Albright's
expense; Williams completed the sea
son without a defeat, and in the big
preparatory school game of the East,
Exeter defeated Andover.

Ohio State Is Winner
in Western Conference
Columbus, Nov. 19.—For the sec- I
ond successive year the Ohio State |
footbal team has won the Western
Conference football championship. In !
its deciding game here Saturday!
<>hio State, led by the indomitable
Chick Hartley, defeated Illinois 13 I
to 0. in one of the hardest fought
football games in conference his-1
tory.
Chick Harley was the outstand- ;
ing star of a collection of brilliant
players. He carried the ball most of
the time, and twice during the con
test he sent the ball between the up
rights for field goals. He scored his
first field goal in the opening period :
and after only a few minutes of play. |
From that score until the final period
the two teams battled away savage
ly, using every known modern means i
to advance the ball, but without sue- j
cess.
In the final period Ohio State be- I
gan another attack which was even
more furious than that which had
gone before. After three minutes of
aerial work, a forward pass was car
ried over the goal line by H. G.
Courtney, and Harley kicked the re
sultant goal which brought the score
10 to 0. With only a short time left
to play Ohio State lost the ball on Its
own 30-yard line and Harley
the total to 13 with his second ac
curate field goal. ■
Harry Frazee Plans to
Build Up Boston Team
Boston, Nov. 19.—Harry Frazee,
owner of the Boston Americans, Is
out to rebuild his former world's
champions. Failing in efforts to pur
chase stars of other clubs outright,
Frazee is planning trades to secure
Pitcher Dumont and Outfielder Claud*
Milan from Washington and Catcher
Wally Schang from the Athletics.
Frazee tried to buy Dumont some
time ago. but Clark Griffith demand
id players in return. Frazee has not
made known the players he expects
to trade.
MUCH GAMK POISONED
Milton, Pa., Nov. 19.—Milton
sportsmen are indignant over what
they declare in wanton carelessness
on the part of game wardens in plac
ing poisons, presumably for noxious
animals to eat. In places where game
c an get it. A party of hunters return
ing to-day assert that they saw four
pheasants, three racoons, three will
turkeys and a 400-pound bear, all
victims of poison.
MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGHaPH ♦ NOVEMBER 19, 1917.
BIG RIFLE SCORE WINS
MEDAL FOR W.
CLOSING OUT
The outdoor range of the Harris
burg Riflle Club was officially closed
Saturday with the termination ol
the annual members' match. The
first prise for this match is a golden
bronze medal presented annually by
the National Rille Association of
America, and Saturday two other
trophies were presented: second prize,
four official National Ritle Associa
tion targets for gallery qualification,
and, third prize, two National Rifle
Association targets for gallery quali
fication.
Although there were seventeen en
tries for the match, only seven mem
bers completed the course, the other
men dropping out after the 300-yard
range had been shot in order to give
the seven high men all the advan
tages and benefits of light conditions.
Und Lit?lit Condition*
Owing to the lateness of the season
and the large number of competitors,
the 500-yard range had to be shot
with extremely bad light conditions,
and therefore the scores made are a
credit to the high men.
Some of the men were beginners,
having started the shooting game
this season, and although they could
not "find the bullseye" as easily and
consistently as the more seasoned
marksmen, it was partly because of
wind and light, conditions, and their
scores were very creditable.
The golden bronze medal was won

THE OUTCAST LEGION*
(Those men who died, who live, "unnamed, disowned," who paved their
land from the undying contempt of mankind. Loving their flag, they loved
her honor more. 1914-1915-1916.)
Hush not your clamor and your cheering, when
Out of the tumult of the shouting throngs.
Close-ranked, they march by open plain or glen;
Go, speed them, spur them, with your battle songs;
But I—my cup lifts to the outcast men
To whose lost legion greater fame belongs.
No godspeed hailed them from a flag-filled street,
No tear nor heart throb save to those who knew;
No BOUI commanding bugle bore their feet,
With friend and kin, love's parting glory through.
Somehow; I think, In all that future fame
Time's tide shall lift beyond the channel shore,
Their souls shall live who held a land from shame.
Unnamed, disowned, gone marching on before;
who played, outlawed, within that mighty game,
And made our place amid the final score.
Somewhere In France—beyond the flaming fold.
Maybe their souls shall back to earth be drawn.
A space to follow, as the stars go cold.
There, where the flag rides high along the dawn,
There where the sunlight strikes the steel to gold,
And bids night's clinging clansmen to be gone.
KARL MYERS.
t Professor Dobie, instructing the Navy team this season, has lost one
game within the last ten years, merely to break the endless monotony and
prove that variety Is still the spice of life.
Speaking of variety, there is Pittsburgh. The gap between Pittsburgh's
baseball club, meaning the Pirates, and Pittsburgh's football team, mean
ing the Panthers, leaves all the variety any one could want. One couldn't
win and the other can't lose. What greater variety could the most restless
soul ask for?
THE MAIN* MAI LER
Dear Sir: As owner of the Chicago National League with A. G.
Spalding, and as charter member of the old Forest City club, of Rockford,
111., with Anson, and as one closely connected with the game for over fifty
years, I want to indorse Ed Delehanty as the hardest hitter of them all.
He has no equal at driving the ball with terrific force. In one game against
Chicago I saw him make three home runs and a triple. lam now known
as the oldest living ball player, so I have seen my share of them come and
80. v CHARLES T. PAGE.
THE COLLEGES AND WAR
Colleges and universities have done their share too well in this war upon
ft big average to have any minor complaints filed.
Our statement that it was an honor to have a losing team through war
deficits was not intended as any rap at the winning elevens. It was merely
intended as a protest against featuring victory, which is an extremely minor
part of the autumn campaign.
Is is manifestly unfair to make a play of season records where some
colleges have lost almost every regular and others have been able to return
three, four or five veterans for a winning nucleus.
Briefly, in the years on ahead, football records of 1917, victory or de
feat, will not be very important details.
BERRY AND MICHIGAN
Howard Berry, the Penn star, will draw his hardest assignment in the
Michigan game, where he will go against the hardest defense he has
tackled this year.
Michigan's strength is now well proved. The Wolverines, even with a
big detail of new men, have shown their strength in every start. Penn's
great improvement in the last two weeks means a better battle, and Penn's
habit of rallying against her Western rh'al is too well known to suggest any
one-sided game.
But for all that, it isn't very likely, now that Penn has come forward far
enough to win.
THE BOSTON BULWARK
If Ouimet and Guilford, Boston's twin siege guns of golf, overthrow
Kirkby and Anderson in the coming contest, they will have conquered about
all the territory in sight.
Up to date they have swept through all opposition with ease leaving
Boston on top in one game after a year's letdown in baseball and an ab
sence of Harvard football.
One way or another, suppressing Boston in sport is no soft and soonev
assignment. K
Bob Clarke Stars in
Game For Penn State
State College, Pa.. Nov. 19.
Pennsylvania State routed Maryland
State's football eleven here Saturday,
57 to 0. It was the first meeting of
the two colleges on the gridiron. The
visiting team proved easy prey for
the Blue and White, which was
smarting under its recent defeat by
Lehigh. Captain Conover and his men
romped through Maryland's line and
around her ends for eight touch
downs.
Bob Clarke booted an easy field
goal from the 12-yard mark, and
Conover tallied six goals from touch
downs. Charlie Way, the Penn-State
quarterback, and Robb, left halfback
were the luminaries of the team's
attack. Way's open field running
thrilled' the crowd. He flashed
through the Southerners repeatedly
for long runs of seventy, fifty-seven
and forty-five yards.

BASEBALL TAX
MEANS MILLIONS
In Effect Now, but Money
Will Not Come in
Until Next Year
Under the terms of the new reve
nue law, which went into effect yes
ter, professional baseball next year
will contribute upward of $1,000,000
to the United States treasury, pro
vided, of course, the attendance in
1918 nearly approximates that of the
season recently ended. About half
of the sum will be raised by the 10
per cent, tax on admission fees and
the additional $500,000 should ac
crue from Income tax on players and
owners.
It is estimated that some 6,000,-
000 spectators paid their way into
the American and National League
ball parks in the course of the cham
pionship races this year, and, averag
ing the paid admissions at 50 cents
each, the turnstiles recorded about
$3,000,000 worth of tickets purchas
ed.
Estimates on Reports
It is figured that with the same
amount of business being done in
1918 Uncle Sam's strong box would
benefit to the extent of approximate
ly $300,000, and if the gross re
ceipts from the world series games
are anywhere near the same figures
next autumn an additional $40,000
should be derived from this source.
Then from the minor leagues that
are able to operate next season and
the semipro and college games, pa
trons of which will be assessed un
der the law, a sufficient amount of
cash should be turned in at the box
office to bring the total up to the
half-million mark.
Millions in Salaries
It is estimated that with some 300
players under contract last year the
major league clubs paid out in salar
ies probably more than $1,500,000,
and roughly calculated the real es
tate owned or controlled by the six
teen clubs in the first-r&nk organiza
tions is worth $10,000,000, so that
with the income tax and the tax on
profits in operation, an additional
$500,000 should accrue from base
ball, aside from the cash contributed
by the fans from the 10 per cent
collected on admission tickets at the
gate.
Georgia Tech Swamps
Carlisle Indian Team;
Southern Team Fast
Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 19.—The Carlisle
Indians proved wholly incapable ot
coping with Tech's tornado Saturday,
the local eleven defeating the visit
ors 93 to 0. It was the largest scoic
run up by Tech this season, eclipsing
the Vanderbilt score of 83 to 0 two
weeks ago.
The game was replete with penal
ties by both teams Tech being pen
alized ten yards and Carlisle eight.
The big majority of Tech's penalties
were for holding, while Carlisle was
guilty of being offside most fre
quently.
Tech was a little slow in getting
its steamroller in action at the open
ing of the game, due to the penalties
Once started, however, it never
stopped, the Indians being outclassed.
Contrary to expectations, neither
team resorted to the open game to
any extent. Tech was so successful
with its straight plays that forward
passes were unnecessary, and Carlisle
was uncuccessrul with the few it at
tempted.
Tech made the largest number of
first downs in any game of the sea
son, scoring forty. The Jackets were
not forced to put a single time dur
ing the game. Carlisle made but
three llrst downs, one due to Tech's
being offside.
Hill's brilliant toe work and Strup
per's speed accounted for three ol
the four touchdowns in the third pe
riod. The fleet halfback made end
runs qf thirty-two and thirty-five
yards for two of the scores. Near
the end of the period W. Smith went'
in for Strupper and made a right end
run for twenty yards and a touch
down.
Both teams substituted players in
the final quarter, but the Indians
were unable to head the Georgians.
After several unsuccessful efforts at
passing. Tech used them to
good advantage in this quarter, roll
ing up two more touchdowns.
Football Injury Fatal
to Chester Grid Star
Chester, Pa., Nov. 19.—Charles
Curtiss Persiani, Jr., of Plantsvillo,
Conn., a student at the Pennsylvania
Military College, died last night at
Chester Hospital, after an operation
made necessary by a ruptured blood
Vf-ssel in the brain. He was the son
of one of Connecticut's prominent
manufacturers, the vice-president
and manager of the Clark Bolt Man
ufacturing Company, at Plantsville.
Persiani, who had never been a
candidate for the varsity eleven,
played halfback Saturday noon in a
game between two of the college
mess teams. He complained of no in
jury during the game, which he
started and finished.
Shortly after 2 o'clock he report
ed at the college hospital with nausea
and severe pains in the head. The
young man was taken to the Chester
Hospital, operated upon at 7 o'clock,
and died at 11 Saturday night.
Reject Speed Mary el
After Duty in France
San Francisco, Nov. 19.—Frank Slo
man, a marvel of speed, and right
now perhaps the best quartermller
in the world, has been rejected by
the American army doctors in France,
and he will return to his home here.
Sloman was with an ambulance corps
which was taken over by the United
States government.
Sloman broke his left wrist some
time ago and the doctors discovered
that it Is still weak. It was becausf
of this that hs was rejected. There
is also a record on file to show that
Sloman was turned down by the Navy
on the Pacific Coast.
Sloman won the national junior
quartermlle championship in the sen
sational time of forty-seven seconds
flat two years ago, but the record
time was not allowed because of a
high wind. Sloman was second to
Ted Meredith in senior champion
ship "440" which the Penn flier won
elso in forty-Beven seconds.
HORSE SHOW PROFITABLE
New York, Nov. 19.—The Amer
ican Red Cross will receive the entire
receipts of the thirty-second annual
horse show, which closed Saturday.
Directors of the show estimated that
the amount would total at least
SIOO,OOO. All expenses were borne
by the directors.
GETTYSBURG TIES
BUCKNELL TEAM
Big Game at Island Park Ends
With Score Even; Work
of Moyer Features
Gettysburg handed Bucknell one
I big jolt on Saturday when they held
, the crack Lewisburg aggregation to
. a tie score, 6 to 6. This annual bat
, tie, played in this city, was an inter
> esting exhibition. The game was well
f played, notwithstanding that only
> one senior played on each team. The
1 elevens were made up mostly of
. Freshmen and Sophs.
I Both teams were weakened be
cause of the call to arms. Harry Rote
. and others having enlisted in the
, servlco of Uncle Sam. Lewisburg was
5 further weakened early in the con
. test when Waddell went out with a
. broken right wrist. Later Hamll, a
, Gettysburg star, was put out with a
t large gash in his head over the left
. eye. There were many penalties for
offside and holding. Th'> ♦.(•till num
ber of yards lost through violations
was 148.
s Gettysburg's Good Work
I Gettysburg gained on running
. back punts, Moyer being a star in
. this line. Bucknell's line plunging
3 brought the results in the third
< I period. Moyer, the Gettysburg lead
) er, put up a great game, and figured
, in the one big play of the day, a
I forty-yard run, enabling him to score
I a touchdown on the next play. Martz
. and Scheffer did good work. Mor
. rison, Spotts and Bortz were Buck
r nell's best men after Waddell went
c out. - Neither team had the necessary
> punch to bring the count* when op
portunity offered. Bucknell had a
chance for a field goal from the
eighteen-yard line, but the kick was
blocked. Twice Gettysburg was
obliged to kick the ball from within
> the shadow of their goal post.
Score Is Tied
In the third qur.rter, Eucknill
■ hammered its way to Gettysburg's flf
t teen-yard line, but could get no fur
i the;- aim had to surrender the ball en
1 downs. Moyer's punt went out of
• bounds on his own thirty-five yard
I and Bucknell started smashing
t the Battlefield line. Several gains and
! a fifteen-yard penalty for holding en

New York State League
May Not Start Next Year
Scranton, Pa., Nov. 19.—Due to
the failure of the National Baseball
Association to agree on the rear
rangement of territory for 1918, so
as to permit the formation of a third
major league, all hope of the New
York State League opening Its parks
next season has been shattered, ac
cording to a statement made by
Robert Allen, president of the Scran
ton team.
Had' the rearrangement of terri
tory plan gone through, the league
Intended to take in Rochester and
drop Reading, this giving the teams
a compact circuit and five cities in
which Sunday baseball cou'.d be play
ed, providing the new law goes Into
effect In New York State. Now with
no chance of landing Rochester the
league's hopes have been blasted, as
Reading was a dead Issue this year
and Is a fiecWeen hope for another
cajßfialsa,

Harrisburg's annual football clas
sic on Saturday was a big success.
With one exception the arrangements
were highly satisfactory. A better
understanding might have been pos
sible regarding the war tax. The fig
ures were given wldo publicity, but
there was a mlxup at the gate that
delayed business.
Once more Harrisburg has a chance
to get Eastern League basketball.
Since the rules have been changed
granting permission to players to
participate in independent games,
this city ought to be in a position to
take up the fast league game.
Those Steelton championship con
tenders were again in evidence on
Saturday. In the game with Read-

Gettysburg Boys at Home
Celebrate Over Good News
Gettysburg, Pa., Nov. 19.—Stu
dents of Gettysburg College, who re
mained at home, were filled with joy
when they learned the score of the
game with Bucknell at Harrisburg.
They cheered and yelled and the old
college bell was rung to spread the
tidings to the people that they were
not beaten. Gettysburgians recogniz
ed the worth of Bucknell's team this
year, and many of them considered
it the same as victory to have tied
them. Although no definite arrange
ments have as yet been made because
of the absence of so many of the stu
dents it is possible a demonstration
will be held Monday evening to do
honor to the team and the coaches.
Quality or Price
It is our belief that the great number of
men who smoke
King Oscar Cigars
smoke them for their quality and flavor.
To maintain this quality it has been neces
slary to advance the retail price to 6 cents,
but the fiality must be maintained.
