ond and Goodfellow third. Hoerner. '
a Greek, took the fourth place and \
the next threse places went to the j
Romans.
The course was two miles lonK. j
extending up the river and through
Riverside. Thirty contestants wer j
entered in all and nearly two-thirds
of this number were Romans. The
race was held in the afternoon and
a large crowd of spectators witnessed
the run.
Rol ert Stewart, who easily won
the race, has been a strong favorite
all MI srn for winner. Shaffer and
Goodfellow were alsd expected to
win a place. Stewart's time was 10
minutes 30 seconds Hat. while Shaf
i'er came in 0 4-5 seconds behind
him. formerly the race has always
been largely decided by the mem
bers of the football team who run, 1
but this year Hoerner was the onlv I
football player who was prominent j
in the race.
Coach Piatt, of the Academy, is j
making arrangements for a run with I
Te hnical High school, a week from !
next Saturday. Each school will en- I
ier as many men as possible and the ,
ten men on each side will count. ,

Big Help to Central
Coach Harris helped Central last
'! year and knows the faults of the
~ men. His services are a most valu
-11 able asset. Some of the trick plays
; of the Carlisle Indians will be hand
•! Ed down to Central by Coach Harris.
. j Central has had almost unparallel
■ ed luck this year in that not one of
[ the squad was hurt in the Steelton
. game. Every man will be able to
take his regular place in the lineup
■ to-morrow.
The game is won as far as Cen
: tral's student body and principal are
' concerned. Last week Professor
Dibble stated that he was a firm be
■ liever in psychology and if the stu
> dents were determined to win they
would—and they did. Now for some
tnore psychology—"the last game
Central will ever play," as Cheer
Leader Pulas said, "Must be a glor
ious climax to Central's long rec
■ ord of victories." The team will re
. turn to Harrisburg Thursday at 1.30
; and will be met at the station by the
: students and escorted to the island.

The weather for to-morrow prom
ises to be clear and cold. No football
fan will worry about cold weather
as long as it is clear. A wet field
would mar the biggest game of the
year.
Both Central and Tech worked
hard to-day away from the madden
ing throngs. At Carlisle Coach Paul
Smith assisted by Coach Harris drill
ed the Central players in new things.
Tech's forces were mobilized at
Dauphin. What happened there is
known only to Coach Ryan and of
ficials.
Penn-State Is up against a hard
proposition to-morrow. Pitt will en
tertain the Bellfonte contingent. If
Pitt is beaten Penn-State will have
some claim on championship honors.
"Red" Calhoun is again out with
the announcement that he will quit
the baseball game. He is a valuable
man in the national sport, and also
a good man in secret service work.
He has won honors in baseball and
If he quits will retire with a good
record.
Here is what Prof. P. L. Grubb,
athletic director at Technical High
school said this morning before he
left for Dauphin to watch the Ma
roon squad at work: "The Tech
team is in perfect physical condition
with the exception of Wilsbach who
has developed a stone .bruise pn his
right foot. This may prevent him
from starting the game. Tech has the
"Beat BuckneH" Is Cry
of Dickinson Students
Carlisle, Nov. 28.—While the
cheering squad sounded the slogan,
"beat Bucknell," the Dickinson team
went through another stiff workout
in preparation for the Thanksgiving

the efforts of the line. The star

game. In spite of the long layoff
since the last game the men are in

The final scrimmage of the year
was staged last night with regulars
tearing the reserves wide open in
thtii offensive plays and making a
strong defensive stand. In the final
minutes of practice a secret session
was held to perfect the plays to be
used for the first time Thursday.

Harrisburg will not want for a

The Garnet five of Philadelphia will
be here for the first of a series of
games. This year the Garnets are ex
ceptionally strong, so is Harrisburg
and an interesting game is promised.
Prof. Dibble, principal at Central
High school gave the Central varsity
squad a talk yesterday and warned
them against over confidence. He
said they must not think that be
cause they defeated Steelton, they
would have as little trouble with
Tech. He said, "to beat Tech you will
have to work at least twice as hard
as against Steelton." Both Mr. Dibble
and Coach Smith say the last Steel
ton game was the only battle in
which the team did half what they
were able to do. The principal's part
ing words of advice were: "Do not
be overconfident. Fight from the
first, second and to the last. Get the
Jump; tackle low and hard. When
you have the ball run until you are
thrown and when giving interference
leave your feet."
Fred Fulton, the Minnesota heavy
weight, won a technical knockout
over Gunboat Smith in the seventh
round of their scheduled ten-round
fight at Minneapolis last night when
Smith's seconds tossed in a sponge to
save him from further punishment.

TECH TEAM AT D
RETURNS AT NOON TO-MORROW;
BIG CHEE
(From Tech Camp)
A squad of twenty Technical High |
school football warriors lert last
evening for where they!
will remain until Thursday noon. J
The Maroon players will be taken j
away from the talk of the game, and '
signal practice and long hikes Willi
be the order. Picking a winner seems!
to be about fifty-fifty. While Tech 1
has the better record for the season, I
the strong comeback staged by Cen- j
tral against Steelton has raised the!
hopes of the Blue and Gray follow- ■
ers. It is expected that both elevens
will score.
Both teams have stars who are
sure to scintillate. Bothe teams have
also scored in each of the eight!
games played this season, and to
morrow's contest will not likely be a
no-score game as was played last
year.
The Central squad is decidedly
stronger on the offensive than de
fense. The Blue and Gray line has
been crossed in six of the eight
games, so that Tech stands good I
chances of at least scoring. In half
of its eight games Tech has beenl
tallied upon. With chances even as I
to the probable winner, chances are
more than even that there will be;
scoring on both sides. It looks like !
the winner will be the team that
will show the stronger defense.
Cheering Big- Feature
Cheering will be one of the big
features. Each school will be given
time alternately to show the list of
cheers and songs on the program.
Both schools will introduce new
parodies. Tech will occupy the west
ern bleachers with Central on the
east side..
The usual numbering of the play
ers will bo followed. Tech has the
odd numerals, and Captain "Ted"
Lloyd will wear Number one. Cap
tain Frank will carry number two.
With the announcement at Central
that there will not be a team next
year, comes the apparent fact that
the last Thanksgiving contest be
tween the two local schools is being
W AHave j7ou\\

staged. While Harrisburg has a'-
ways taken kindly to all branches of
sports, this one contest drew more
spectators than any other single
event. Residents in this city who did
not attend another gridiron game
during the year, were always sure
to turn out for the'final honors, and
each one always had a favorite. It
is a safe bet that no other sbholastic
contest in this section of the state
drew the crowd that attended the
Harrisburg Central-Tech game.
No matter who wins, or who is
the loser to-morrow, there is one
thing sure. When the big crowd
wends it sway back over the Sus
quehanna at the final whistle there
will be a tinge of sadness in the
hearts of each one that the final
game has ended. While there is
talk of substituting Steelton for the
annual affair, no other teams could
quite afford the rivalry as occasioned
by the meeting of Tech and Central.

Farmers Got 21 Cents Lb.

ago. Reports to the Department of
Agriculture, made public yesterday,

Turkey prices averaged 21 cents,
5.8 cents higher than the November

and chickens averaged 17 cents, an
advance of 5.2 cents over the four
