GOOD HOLIDAY GAMES FOR LOCAL BASKET BALL FANS; GREYSTOCK TEAM WINNER COLLEGE MEN MEET THURSDAY To Discuss Sports Outlook; May Favor Cut iiv Grid • Schedules New York, Dec. 24.—A meeting of college graduate managers has been called at the Hotel Martinique on next Thursday to discuss the inter collegiate athletic situation. While the meeting has no official jurisdic tion, it will bring together represen tatives of all the colleges for the pur pose of outlining some policy in re gard to the spring schedule of sports for next year. It is possible that at this meeting ■the graduate managers may suggest some curtailment of the football schedules, as it is understood that peveral of the smaller colleges lost money in football last fall. The sea son did not come up to expectations in many places and college athletics are In such a condition now that it would be unwise for any of the in stitutions to suffer further losses. College RasebaU It is understood that Pennsylvania will advocate college baseball the same as last year, although it is not .likely that many of the institutions will have teams next spring. The -majority of the colleges dropped base ball last spring, although Penn and a few others played out their sched ules. Military training now takes up so much time that the students at most of the institutions will not have even as much time for athletic ac tivity as they had last spring. Invitations to this conference have been sent to all colleges, and a large i gathering is expected. Swarthmore Inventor Called by the U. S. to Finish U-Boat Device Philadelphia, Dec. 24. Experi menting for a year with an invention aiming at the destruction of sub marines, Professor Harvey C. Hayes, head of the physics department of Swarthmore College, has been so successful that he has received a call from the United States govern ment to enter the national service. He refused yesterday to discuss par ticulars of his new venture, adding that he has been forbidden to dis close the location of the laboratory where he is to continue his research work. Professor Hayes will be joined bv five other physicists from the best universities and laboratories in the country in the government research work. They will commence on Jamw ! ary 1. Professor Hayes expects to be engaged in this service for a year at least, and it is unlikely thai, he I will return to Swarthmore at thej opening of the next term in Septem- j ber. T .'amily.will accompany him j to site of the laboratory. Professor Hayes was in his fourth year as a member of the faculty of Swarthmore College. Previous to hisj service in the physics department he was an instructor in research work I at Harvard, where he took his doc tor's degree. The vacancy caused by Professor's Hayes' withdrawal from Swarthmore will be filled by W. O. I Sawtelle, of Haverford College, who i has been an assistant professor of; physics at that institution. Boston Contracts Ready to Mail After Holidays Boston Dec. 24.—Contracts for 191S for about thirty-one players of the Boston National League baseball club including Pitcher "Bill" James, are ready at the club's headquarters for mailing after the holiday. James' pitching was an important factor in winning the world's series for the Braves in 1914, but since then his arm has been in bad condi tion and last season he remained near his home on the Pacific Coast, work ing only in a few ehxibition games. It Is understood that he asked the Boston club for an opportunity to re turn to major league work. The con tracts will be sent to all players not already in war service. ftfyni/ojjor Authorized ilenlern to Kiinrnntec til CMC Lisle and Silk Socks 25c, 35c, 50c, 75c Hose For Ladies Consylman & Co. 1117 N. 3rd St. —.i*-*" "V> And a Happy New Year, too.

Major Leaders Differ on World Series Cash Divvy Chicago, Dec. 24.—The committee consisting of Ban Johnson, president of*he American League, and August Herrmann, chairman of the National Commission, appointed at the recent conference here of the club owners of the major leagues to revise the sj'stem of dividing the receipts of the world's series among the players each year, to-day are working on two tentative plans. One plan, said to be favored by Johnson, would allow only the teams finishing in the first division to share in the receipts, the amount to be fixed by the position in which they finish. The other, said to have been suggested by Herrmann, would divide the players' share of the money among the first seven teams, leaving only the tail-enders without a portion of the big stake. Whether either of the proposed plans will be approved or whether the old system of permitting only the two teams engaging in the series to have a share will remain in force, must be determined by further con ferences, it was said. The idea of letting others than the champions of their respective leagues participate in money derived from the annual event is brought forth, it was said, for the purpose of stimu lating ball players to give their best efforts to the end of the season, even though their club may have no chance for a pennant.

The Tribune Association CNev Tor* TribiinaV CHRISTMAS EVE IN" CAMP There is no that could be half so sweet On Christmas Eve —at twilight—just to drift To far-off lands through winter's starless beat, Where, In a dream, one sees Time's curtains lift And show the old remembered hearth of home, / And as the dream drifts by, dim wraith on wraith, To anchor there —a straggler from the foam Of stormy seas that almost wreck one's faith. There is no dream like this when dusk swings low On Christmas Eve—when from the wintry gloom Dim voices come and speak from long ago, Soft hands reach out—and from the barrack room, Borne far by tender memories we leave Across the night, as some lost soul is sped, Until we reach once more the Christmas Eve We knew before the reeling world turned tred. For now we know just what the old Ufa mccnt, Before the flags of battle were unfurled, The peace of home, the ease, the quiet content That must have been within another world; And none will ever know the brooding pain Until his time has come, through waning light. At Christmas Eve, for arms that reach in vain, Or vanished voices blown across the night. THE REVIVAL AGAIN , It is impossible to appreciate now the tremendous sporting revival that is coming when this war ends. This revival will come from two important factors — 1. The fact that several hundred thousand young men, through camp life, and the different games attached, have found out what the outdoor game means. 2. The fact—and the more important one—that when the tension from the war has relaxed there will be a feverish rush to competition that doesn't mean death and destruction, blood and horror, pain and sacrifice. Some one has said, for example, that after one had served in the trenches a game such as golf would seem dull and tame. On the con trary, we figure that it would carry an increased thrill, the thrill of a plea ure-and a competition that isn't to be suddenly checked by a big shell or a gas wave or a machine gun sweep.

Jack Glasscock Dead;' Veteran in Auto Smash Canton, Ohio. Dec. 24.—Jack Giass >cock, the famous shortstop of years ago, was killed last night, together with his wife, when an automobile which he was driving was hit by a train. The accident took place in the vil lage of Louisville in Stark county., near here, and details have not yet been obtained. Jack Glasscock ranked as one of the greatest shortstops in the game. He served fully fifteen years In the fast set, starting in the early eighties and ending in the middle nineties. He was not only a remarkable man on the defense, but an extraordina rily heavy hitter. He began with the Cleveland team in 1879 and remained with the team until 1883. In 1895 and 1896 he was with St. Louis, and i in 1887, 1888 and 1889 he played with Indianapolis. Glasscock was with the ; New York team in 1890, 1891 and 1892 l and in 1893 and 1894 he finished his ( big league career with Pittsburgh. I Elect Pittsburgh Star to Lead Bucknell Team Pittsburgh, Dec. 24.—80b Wad dell, of this city, has been elected , captain of the Bucknell University I football team for next fall. This was . his second season on the team, play i i ing there during his freshman year. ■ He entered Bucknell from Peabody ; High School and makes the third I player from that institution to be , chosen captain of his team tor 1918 —McLaren, at Pitt, and Robb, at Penn State. Waddell is pretty much of an all around performer, as ho won letters j in football, basketball and basebal. , I last year. He is a backfield man in i football and is particularly strong in punting.

Dec. 24. —What is expected to be another thrilling base ball deal is believed to have been ar ranged here last Saturday between Charles Weeghman. of the Cubs, and Branch Rickey, of the Cardinals. The two baseball magnates were in con ference for several hours and Weegh man smiled when he received this question: \\ ell, how much did you pay for Roger HornsbyV" Weeghman's replv was: "I haven't landed him as yet." This is the first time Weeghman has be;n in St. Louis in more than a year and it is doubtful if he would rrako this unexpected trip just for the sake of a sight-seeing expedi tion. Until the Cubs' boss purchased Al exander and Killifer from the Phil lies the fans doubted the sincerity of Weeghman's plunges. Now they be lieve in him and are ready to expect anything in the way of big deals. Where the Cardinals could receive a profitable exchange with the Cubs for Hornsby the local rooters cannot see. Weeghman said that he expected to close a deal with the Giants for Charley Herzog some time next week no Hornsby and Herzog will be quite a Christmas present in the Cubs' stocking. Big Games For Hassett; Indians Wednesday Holiday week will find the Hassett live quite active. Real holiday at tractions will be offered. On Wednes night the Carlisle Indians will be the attraction. The Redskins always prove a good attraction in this city and are looked upon as formidable adversaries. Between the halves the Girls' live of the Hassett School will meet the Wiconisco High School team. This game was scheduled to be held several weeks ago, but the Wiconisco girls were snowbound in the rocent blizzard and unable to get to tins city. Manager Bowling is working his team hard and the local boys are pre pared to put up a good fight. A special holiday dance program with appropriate music will follow the game. Pay your money and— take your choice Do you want to get a smoke for a nickel that will give you no satisfaction or will you pay an extra penny for good old King Oscar—Quality They cost you six cents now, but these are war times and they are worth it, Quality —FIRST, LAST and ALL THE TIME John C.

For Christmas night the Harrisburg Independent man agement has secured the crack St. Elizabeth team. On Saturday night the local five will play the first of a series of games with Rosewood, an other all-star aggregation of this city. St. Elizabeth made good here sev eral weeks ago. The team is an all star aggregation ana an Interesting i contest is promised. The same line- j up will be offered by the visitors, i that played here in the first game. ; As an added feature the local man- 1 agemcnt has arranged a special I Christinas dance program, which will be continued until midnight. Greystock Is Winner With Joe Fogarty, the veteran | leading in the good work, the Grey stock five, Saturday night won over the locals, score 58 to 42. The In-j dependents played a great game j against the famous champion ag- j gregation. Joe Fogarty, the hero of many! victories, played forward for Grey stock and was the one big star. Zahn and Bilson came in for a share of honors. McCord, N. For dand G. Ford were prominent in the good work by the locals. Sourbier jumped a great game at center, and McConnell was in old time form at guard. The work of Referee White was also commanded. The lineup and sum mary: GREYSTOCK F.G. Fls. Pts.

Unless this year's freshman eleven turns in val uable material, the Wolverines will not cut the capers they intended. Tank Weiman, the powerful line plunger and tackle, was the first to rally to the flag. He has made ap plication for admission to the avia tion section. Cliff Sparks, one of the craftiest quarterbacks Yost ever has devel oped, followed suit. Sparks was go ing to enter the Navy, but changed his mind when Weiman went to the flying corps. Weston, another quarterback, who understudied for Sparks in many of the games because of Cliff's early season injury, is the third candidate for Uncle Sam's great team. Both Weiman and Sparks were eligible for the captaincy, and their loss will be a serious blow. Around them Yost was to build his nqxt ag gregation. Twenty Years on Gridiron Record of Bob Marshall Twenty years of football. Not only that, but twenty years a star. That is the unusual record of Bob Marshall, who in 1904, 'OS and 'O6 was a member of the Minnesota foot ball teann To-day Marshall, who is a colored athlete, is playing with the Minneapolis Marines, a semi-profes sional eleven. In 1897 Marshall first played the grame with Minneapolis Central High School football team. After leaving high school Marshall went to the University of Minnesota, and soon developed into one of .the greatest ends Minnesota ever had. j Probably the highest point in Mar j shali's career as a gridiron player J was in 1906, in the game between | Minnesota and Chicago, when his toe | gave Minnesota one of its most mem j arable victories. Minnesota defeated Chicago, i to 2, and it was a field | goal that give the Gophers victory, j The ball on his kick hit the bar and I bounded over. WELLY IT 9 W CORiNBR_ Local sport promoters aro not showing up strong in holding bills. Basketball is the only sport that makes a bid for Christmas patron age. There will be good cage games. The Independents are scheduled for two hard battles. The Sons of Rest is a rather queer name for a basketball team. How ever the local cage aggregation with that name Is doing anything but resting. This t£ain is made up of local stars who have been shining. They won a game at Lock Haven. Manager Joe Garner is anxious for games and will take on any team. Harrisburg flglit fans are rather hungry for a good boxing show. I>ocal patrons aro going to Lancas ter, Reading, York and other towns to get their favorite sport.

Tener, president of the National League, that be had award ed to the Pittsburgh club Vic Saier, ] late first baseman of the Chicago j club, over whose services the two I clubs had been in dispute. Dreyfuss ; claimed Saier last year when it was j announced that he had been released | by Chicago, but when the local club sent Saier a contract he refused to i sign, saying he was being paid by I the Chicago club. He played several J games with the Cubs at the close of the season. The matter was threshed out at the I meeting of the league two weeks ago I in New York and the issue left to | Tener, who made known his decision | last night. Then Dreyfuss was asked what he would do about paying Saier | and he said: "It -all depends on how he and Mollwltz shape up at the training camp, and as to what Manager Bez dek thinks of the two men.
