There was no fight against the continuation of registering wom en swimmers this year, and they were given the additional privilege of collecting expenses for a chap erone when attending meetings away from home. The height for the div ing board in the -diving contests was lowered to between twenty and twen ty-two feet, the women objecting to going off those from twenty-four to twenty-seven feet in height.

Indians Are Preparing For Game With Penn Carlisle, Pa.. Nov. 21.—Yesterday's j work for the Carlisle Indian football! team was light, considering the ad-j ; vaneed stage of the season, but the Redskins were run through light fun- ; damentals and dummy signal prac-| : tlce for the greater part of the aft- , einoon. > Scrimmage w..i probably be the order for Wednesday and Thursday | evenings, behind closed gates. The undue extension of the Geor gia Tech game, which was dragged j out to nearly two hours in length, | was trying on the Indians, who have | faced a hard schedule lately. The recuperation of this week will] be much appreciated. From present I appearances only one or two of the! regular Indian lineup may have to | be substituted for in the game j against Pennsylvania on Saturday. I„assa may have to be away at a j funeral, and Center Fred Walker, | who is suffering with a sprained J knee, may have to be substituted for | Amos Jones, who is probably the the [ youngest center Playing on an im portant team. The Montanans, Evand and Kip, n>ay get into the Pennsylvania game, and Ojibwav may handle a line posi tion. Flinchem is rapidly getting j into shape, as are Halfbacks Leroy j and Captain Tibbetts. Almost sure to face the - ..iladel- j phia crowd is Louis Valandra. a 19-1 year-old Sioux from North Dakota. Use Auto Lights For Lafayette Team Practice Easton, Pa., Nov. 21.—The Lafay ette football team practiced from 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon till after dark to be reaay ror tCe game with' Lehigh on Saturday. In order to continue the practice until after dark! motorcars were brought on the field and they focused their lights on the dummy so that the practice in tack-; ling was held after the usual time for; practice. Coach Berryman scrim- 1 maged his team again this after noon. It was a short tussle, but a i vigorous one. Smith was able to: get in this form of practicefor the j first time in some weeks. This is an ! assurance that he will be in the game on Saturday. The varsity line was as it has been j for some time. Albright was again j at guard after a one day's leave of absence. Baur ran the team but a| short time and he was then replaced by Wolf. Mendelsohn. Rowe and • Crosslong practice of the signals be- ! fore the scrimmage and when thej sham battle started the students', livened matters up a bit by marching on the field and holding a cheering practice in connection with the foot ball drill. Important Trade Is on For Four Star Players St. Louis. Mo., Nov. 21.—The report •which announces a trade brewing be tween the Cardinals and Cubs, and which has Roger Hornsby and Frank Snyder going to the Windy City In exchange for Larry Doyle and Fred Merkle, stirred the baseball fans here yesterday. Tho return of President Rickey after an absence of ten days tossed another shovel of coal into the hot stove league. "They won't need a manager if they make that trade," was the com ment of the fans. Rickey was unable to throw any J light upon the managerial situation. ( He expressed disappointment over his ( failure to secure Jack Hendricks , from Indianapolis.

Mike O'Dowd, of* St. Paul, beat A 1 McCoy, the alleged middleweight champion, in six rounds in Brooklyn. McCoy went down for the count. It was the last night or public boxing under the Frawley Act in New York City. The repeal of the law went into effect November 13. & GrdntJamlJZice Copyright. 1117, Tb Trlbun# Association (Nov York Tribunal A correspondent writes to inquire which game profits most by coach ing—football, baseball, rowing, basketball, tennis, goir or track. There is very little argument.to be wasted here. Football requires coaching above any two games mentioned through the list. For coaching is not only needed in the way of individual instruction, but for the development of team play. And team play is a more vital factor In football than in any other sport. WAR AM) PEACE If any land in the world should know the value of team play the an swer is America. In her two greatest games, baseball and football, hundreds of thousands of !her citizens have been shown that team work is one of the mightiest factors. This knowledge and this instruction should help her in war as well as peace. She has been taught for several decades that a team of all stars which failed to work together could not overthrow a compact rivalry using the needed team play. Knowing all this, and having had It proved beyond all doubt* America isn't verylikely to discard team work values very long. A EEjV LEFT Among the multitude of great athletes, wearing British or French uni forms, who have fallen, there are still a few notables left. Two champions went to the front back in August, 1914, and have been at the front ever since, having balked death for over three years. One of these is I.#rry Jenkins, golf champion of Great Britain. The other is Georges Carpentier, tthe French boxing champion. They remain among the few survivors o£ that first Allied army, two of the most notable who have escaped. Jenkins won the amateur championship the year that America sent Travers, Ouimet and Evans to Sandwich in one the greatest international fields ever gathered. He sank his wining putt on the thirty-fifth gre> i in late May. In early August he was wearing khaki, ready to start foi France. IX BRIEF DEFENSE Dear Sir:—• It has been remarked freely that amateur athletes have gone into serv ice in far greater comparative numbers than professional athletes. This is true—and there is a reason. The professional athlete is a queer by-product. His skill is his living —his maintenance for his family. His time of success is short, at best. The clerk, the lawyer, the salesman, the college man, can take two or three years out of his life and soon pick up the profession. Three years out of the life of the ball player or the boxer means his finish in the game. He can't, upon the average, return to pick up about where he left off. He must give far more by enlisting : than almost any other profession or trade. This is something to be considered before he is criticised too severely. There is generaly another side to each argument. THE WINNING FACTOR What is the winning factor in war? Here is one answer from Emerson: "We reckoned the improvements of the art of war among the triumphs of science, and yet Napoleon conquered Europe by the bivouac, which con sisted of falling back on naked valor and disencumbering it of an aids." There are many factors tq be considered in any competitive game. But to find one more important than "naked valor" is no light task. AFTER- "After this war is over," a bystander observes, "what thrill will a man find in making a four-foot putt who has fovght his way across No Man's Land from one shell hole to another?" He might not find as great a thrill, but he will at least come upon a more expansive content. As Lieutenant Milne remarked: "When the war is over and the Kaiser's out of print. I'm going to buy some tortoises and watch the beggars sprint. When the war is over and at last the sword we sheath, I'm going to keep a jellyfish and listen to it breathe." This, from one of those at the front, is at least the essence of a reply. "We have been invincible for over three years." W. HOHENZOLLERN. Which reminds us of the maxim attached to the long lane. COPS SHOWING ATHLETIC FORM; THEY MUST WORK "Atta boy," shouted C. W. Miller, physical director of the local Y. M. C.

INDOOR RIFLE SHOOTING STARTS Harrisburg Rifle Club Mem bers Open City Grays Armory Range A general meeting of the Harris burg Rifle Club was held last night in the office of the executive officer. Reports for the year's work w?re presented by the secretary, treasurer and executive officer. The object of the meeting was a "get-together" night for informal discussions. For mal and detailed reports will be pre sented a the .annual meeting to be held on January 5, 1918. At the conclusion of the meeting the few members present together with the officers of the club went to the City Grays' Armory and formally threw open the indoor range which the rifle club has leased from the City Grays' Armory Association. This range has not been used for about two years. The range is a 25-yard one in the cellar of the Armory and; has ac commodations for two targets being used at the same time, the targets are operated on Ayhat is. known as the "trolley system" and shooting can be done in standing or prone position. The National Rifle Association pre* sents watch fobs for qualification on indoor ranges. The regulations gov erning indoor shooting are as fol lows: Indoor Regulations Any 22 caliber rifle weighing not over ten pounds, and with a trigger ' pull of not less than three pounds, shall be used. Any sights except those containing glass may be used and the rear sight may be -placed anywhere on the rifle barrel or stock. If de sired a sling may be used, The num ber of shots in the qualification course are ten In each position in strings of five shots; no sighting shots allowed on the official targets. In or der to qualify a competitor must must make a score of not less'than 85 points standing and 90 points prone for a marksman's decoration i and 90 standing and 95 prone for a sharpshooter's decoration. To those who qualify for the first time the National Rifle Association of Ameri ca. will present a watch fob Inscrib ed "Proficiency in Indoor' Rifle Shooting," (bronze for marksmen and silverplated for sharpshooter): in subsequent years a bar only will be issued. These official N. R. A. tar gets are sold to civilian rifle clubs as sociated with the National Rifle As sociation of America for SO cents per target, each target being available for ten shots. Range Facilities The Harrisburg Rifle Clb will have on hand a 22-callber rifle and the necessary ammunition and practice targets for any member of the club who wishes to participate. The small charge of 5 cents for use of the rifle for each twenty shots fired, will be made to cover the cleaning and car ing for the rifle. The range will be opened every Tuesday and Friday nights from now on until the first of April, 1918, and it is hoped that as many of the mem bers as possible will avail themselves of the opportunity of this indoor shooting and help boost the rifle shooting game in HarHsburg. , fiOWLING Casino Leagues, Tenpins (Casino Alleys) Alphas 2565 Aviators 2447 C.Weber, (A) (new record).... 255 C.

SOLDIER ATHLETES' SHOW INTEREST IN "PAT" REAGAN Athletics at Camp Meado are showing interesting activity. Harris burg and Steelton athletes are in evi dence. "Pat" Reagan, the Villa nova star, is doing his bit. Tho Trench and Camp sayß: "Having been awarded the de cision over the gridiron warriors of the Three Hundred and Fifteenth Regiment in their recent football clash, the pigskin tossers of the Three Hundred and Sixteenth Regi ment have been constantly at prac tice, mastering and perfecting new playß, in the hope orf annexing the championship of Camp , Meade. "Pat" Ri <an, the big husky full back. whe displayed such remarkable ability, and whose generalship was greatly Instrumental In the victory achieved, has again taken up the managerial reins of the team, after a short absence on account of slight injury sustained, and is swiftly whip ping the team Into tine shape. Interest Is Strong "Wonderful athletic interest is be ing attached to various companies of the regiment, especially is this noticeable in Company I, where a committee on sports has beeu form ed, earnestly striving to eclipse all athletic events- and, keeping thm within the bounds of the Three Hun dred and Sixteenth Regiment. Com pany G and Company I are at pres ent deadlocked In a tie for the hon ors awarded for the recent cross country run. and since another run must be scheduled to decide the wln- WOUNDED NOT TO BE A BURDEN TO U.S. AFTER WAR Industrial Surgeons Hear How Mangled Men Are "Recon structed" in Hospitals "I'm here to help lick 'the Ger mans." A resolute, vigorous man, wearing the Insignia of a major in the United States Army, startled three hundred surgeons in the late hours of yester day when the-y gathered for the closing of the fifth conference of in dustrial physicians and surgeons in the House of Representatives. If the officer had said "trounce" or "defeat" the audience would not have been so moved, perhaps. But the good old fashioned word "lick" brought every one up In his seat and from that moment Major Harry K. Mock. U. S. A. Medical Reserve Corps, held his auditors at profound attention. Dur ing one straight hour he disclosed, for the first time, the Government's notions for rehabilitating and recon structing men who are wounded in this war. He went into the' minutest details which would convince any one that Uncle Sam is right back of the great est humanitarian movement of the war and that this nation will oven outdo Germany, England and France In making men over so that they will not be a burden to the country. "It took this war to arouse the na tion," Major Mock pointed out. "So ciety has been unkind to its crippled. Human conservation is the greatest by-product of this war, and we are determined to surpass Germany even as Germany surpasses France in the salvage, of these unfortunates.'" To Care For Wounded The frecent Act of Congress passing the disability insurance bill givesi the nation all assistance needed, said Major Mock. Pensions will continue even if the victim recovers from his handicap. Not only will the wounded soldier be taken care of, but the Gov ernment facilities will include the treatment of industrial workers. "The Government idea is so tre mendous," declared the major, "that it would take a whole day to lay out all the details. It contemplates re ceiving the injured at Staten Island, where they will be examined. By this time it Is expected that great rccorstruction hospitals, perhaps to the number of sixteen, will be estab lished at the various drafting sta tions. The Government has under taken to give every crippled man a vocational l.alnlng, and to this end communication is already opened up with schools and workshops. Spe cial schools will be built where the blind, deaf and maimed will be tought new trades. We propose to co-operate with universities, agri cultural and industrial schools; even private and semi-private institutions. "The Government Itself will have hundreds, of Jots for these men— mail clerks, court clerks, work on the reservations. We have now one hundred biographies of cripples who have made good. These we will dis tribute to the wound.ed soldiers as they arrive for reconstruction. Some of these stories tell just those prac-' tical Intimate things that a cripple should know—how to shave, /hine your shoes, and perform other per stnal duties. The natidnal employ ment bureau will be aided by all state bureaus, and we intend to have the employers' liability law changed so that these reconstructed men can hold jobs in spite of their defects. These great hospitals for making* over our heroes will be permanent monuments to their patriotism and in time they will be used for the re habilitation of industrial workers who have met disaster." The. pledges of Major Mock on be half of the nation's government were so cheering that it was lucky he pre ceded Major It. Talt McKensle, who. with his screen pictures, gave a vivid description of actual scenes abroad, including pictures of soldiers wound ed in many ways. Major McKensle, o.ie of the chief officials employed in the reconstruction work in England, said that if America raised armies of men at the same percentage as England In the days of the Kitchener armies, this country could pile up forces of 17,000.000. Work at HlKh Speed His discourse was intended to show the Pennsylvania surgeons precisely how wounds of every kind are best treated, according to the discoveries and Inventions made since this war started. Hl4 pictures showed the men brought from the trenches to the dressing station, then to the casualty clearing hospital and Anally to tho base hospital. To show, the Speed with which England works, he narrated that In Manchester on a Monday he received ten trains of wounded men who had been hurt the previous Saturday at battles on the Somme. His most in teresting pictures were those show ing tho wounded recovered. Here was a man with 113 different wounds from a bursting shell. He had been so patched up as to be able to go back to fight. The actual reconstruc- ner, a splendid battle should result. Companies K, L and D are also striv ing: undespalrlngly for athletic hon ors. There still remain several games to be played • before cham pionship honors have been decided. Thus far nine teams have entered the field for highest honors. "Basketball will be ushered In be fore the approach of many weeks. Fine courts . have been erected. Leagues will be created, and four I different leagues will play simul taneously a league, each battalion, under the directton of Lieutenant Peterson. The winners of the respec tive leagues (1.e., the leaders at the close of the season) will clash In post-season series for regimental honors. Boxing Bouts "While as yet no special stars have been uncovered, ench company Is" holding friendly boxing bouts in their recreation rooms nightly. Com panies E and K are especially strong in the promotion of this sport. "Arrangements are now under way for the holding of a pentathlon —an intercompany, all-around meet with a novel sot of events which are bound to be of great interest as well as amusement to the spectators. "Volley ball and soccer will also be included among the athletic events and a league will be formed. "Football schedule for the week follows: Company K vs. L, Head quarter Company vs, Machine Gun Company, Company B vs. D." , tion of these men was depicted in pictures showing them walking on l<'gs. leaping wire entanglements, baked in moist heat, taking treatment of electricity and hydropathy. One soldier at the Marne was lying llat on ills back under cover. When be laised both feet for a moment In sight of the Germans, he received four bullets through each foot, show ing that thera must be some good marksmen among the Huns. These wounds were repaired so that the man could return to the trenches. In his conclusion Major McKensie, maybe unintentionally, caused his audience to involuntarily gasp when be casually explained: "Many of these poor fellows are so disfigured in their faces that' no one will employ them after they have been rehabili tated." While he spoke hey put oh several horrible pictures of disfigured countenances. "The only jobs we have been able to get for them," he finished, "are In the capacity of chauffeurs. They are able In this work to muffle and conceal their mu tilations." Scout Troop 11 Opposes Troop 7 in Tie Battle An exciting football game was played on the Island yesterday after noon between Troop 11 and Troop 7 of the Boy Scout teams. Mr. Baugh man, scoutmaster of Troop 2, was referee in the game. The teams tied with a score of 6-6.. Troop 11 are working for the Scout football cham pionship of this city and will play one of their last games Saturday, when they battle with Troop 2. The de cisive game between the Troop 11 and Troop 7 teams will be played within several weeks. In the game yesterday the boys made a fine showing. Ted Wagner, of Troop 11, made a touchdown for his tea mearly in the game, while Troop 7 plunged their first touchdown near I the end of the 4irst half. Christ, Burns, Beck, Setgleman and Wagner each "done their bit," plunging and tackling and Murray, Walker and Wagner, played well for Troop 11 by breaking in on various plays and formations of the opposing team.
