    f TECH PLANS BIG BASKETBALL OPENING—LOCAL SHOOTERS MAKE GOOD AVERAGES
LEBANON HIGH
TO PLAY TECH
Opening Basketball Game in
Scholastic League Is
Class Contest
The Technical High School basket,
ball squad is holding daily practices
at Chestnut Street Hall preparing for
the opening of the Pennsylvania
Scholastic League In this city, Friday
night, Lebanon high school will be
the attraction. The Red and Blue
squad was runnerup in the league
last season, giving Reading a big run
tor the final honors.
Coach Miller is pleased with the
showing made by the several combin
ations in the Alumni contest, and it
will be a difficult proposition to make
the final selection. A number of the
new men arc showing decided
strength, and will make the regulars
hustle to keep their berths.
Class I.rnicue Content
A class league contest Is scheduled
to begin at 7.45, and It is probable
that the Sophs will be pitted against
iho Seniors in the first of the inter
c iass contests. An orchestra will fur
nish special music, and dancing will
follow the two struggles. Manager
Glenn Beard is planning to hold all
of the Tech contests at Chestnut
Street Hall, and with a winning com
bination, Tech should have a success
ful financial season.
Lebanon Team Strong
Lebanon has played several pre
liminary contests, and has shown
that the "Dutch aggregation will
again be in the running. The visit
ors will be without the services of
Moore, the flashy forward, who was
the league's high individual scorer.
This athlete is attending Lebanon
Valley College, and is a member of
the Blue and White basketball squad.
Tech's aggregation looks like a
winner, and for the first time in the
history of the institution, students
are predicting a quintet that will be
in the running for the final league
honors. The Alumni contest showed
the fact that there are a number of
talented tossers on the Maroon suad
and the team that wins the pennant
will undoubtedly have to step at a
lively rate to take Tech into camp.

Frozen pipes with a bursted boiler
brought a disappointment to the Gar

were scheduled for a game at Mari

match was cancelled. The Garnet
players were in good shape and ready
to<get revenge for the defeat at Lan

are on for a game with Marietta In

LOCAL SHOOTER
MAKES RECORD
J. G. Martin Hangs Up Good
Average at Traps; Other
Local Shots
Harrisburg trapshooters were proml
inent last year In high amateur rec
ords. J. G. Martin, winner of many
championships and holder of numer
ous lons-run records, had an average
of .9423. He shot at 3,020 targets
and broke 2,946. He missed but two
Interstate events during the season.
Martin was former president of the
Harrisburg Sportsmen's Association.
Fred A. Godcharles, who shoots un
der Harrisburg- and Milton colors,
shot at 3,670 targets and broke 3.35 C.
His average was .9144.
Another Harrisburg shooter well-up
in the list is E. W. Shank", a well
known auto dealer, who recently was
big winner in live bird contests. He
shot at 2,770 targets and broke 2,349.
His average was .8480.
Hcer Bir Winner
A former professional trapshooter,
William E. Heer, of Guthrie. Okla.,
is the winner of the amateur high
average trophy of the Interstate As
sociation for 1917. During the season
just closed he shot at 2,050 targets,
of which he broke 1,997, giving him
an average of .9741, which was six
points above his nearest competitor,
W. Henderson, of Lexington, Ky.
Heer won the official high average
in 1910 and again in 1913. In 1910
his average was .9775 and in 1913 it
was .9730. Trapshootlng rules provide
that a man who is a professional and
desires to again become an amateur
must retire from competition for
three years, that is provided that his
average was better than 90 per cent.
Heer retired from competition after
the 1913 season and returned in 1917
as an amateur and won the highest
average.
Charles H. Ncwcomb, of Philadel
phia, and a winner of many cham
pionships, leads the marksmen of this
section. Newcomb flred at 2,395 clays
of which he broke 2,311 for a percent
age of .9649. Fred Plum, of Atlantic
City, finished with a percentage of
.9621, having cracked 4,782 out of
4,970 fired at. A 1 Hell, of Allentown,
1916 state champion, downed 2,972
out of 3,095 for a .9602 mark.
Wins Double Honor*
Clarence B. Piatt, of Bridgeton,
N. J., won the double championship
with a percentage of .9307. He shot
at 130 clays and broke 121. At sin
gles Piatt earrfed a .9522 percentage,
breaking 3,209 out of his 8,370 lifeless
skimmers.
The professional high man is Les
ter German, of Aberdeen, Md., who
some twenty-odd years ago pitched
the Memphis Southern League team
to champions, and afterwards pitched
for the New York Nationals before
entering the trapshooting game as a
professional. German had a better
average than Heer, earning a .9764
mark. German fired at 6,285 clays
and downed 6,137.
Hassett Unable to Play
Because of No Steam Heat
Hassett and Rosewood did not play
last night. Cathedral hall was too
cold for comfort of spectators and
players. After a short wait, the Rev.
T. B. Johnston announced that the
Harrlsburg Light, Heat and Power
Company was unable to furnish the
steam heat, and the big crowd was
dismissed.
HOFFMAN STARS
IN ENOLA GAME
Submarines Sink Battleships
in Fast League Con
test; Scores
Enola, Jan. 3.—ln a spirited
battle, full of thrills from start to
finish, the Submarine bowling team
of the local P. R. R. Y. M. C. A.
bowling league routed the Battle
ship five last night.
At the beginning of the fray the
Battleships set forth from their
hortie base with flying colors In
battle formation. The Subs were
lurking behind a mine field and
when the stately Battleships came
within range let fire a salavo of tor
pedoes and the plans of the Battle
ships were frustrated. The two an
tagonists met in two other places
bu f the result was the same.
Hoffman, who substituted for Cap
tain Greene, of the U-Boats, car
ried off the scoring honors of the
evening. His high single game
score was 182 and his match score
was 516. The Subs by winning the
match by 97 pins, took the lead in

Still After Roger Hornsby;
Cubs to Make Another Try
Chicago, Jan. 31.—The Chicago
National League Club is going to
make one more effort to obtain
Roger Hornsby, the St. Louis short
stop, for whom President Rickey is
said to have refused $75,000 re
cently. President Weeghman, of the
Chicago Club, has arranged a confer
ence at Cincinnati next Monday,
previous to the national commission
meeting, when he and Manager
Mitchell will endeavor to persuade
Rickey and Manager Hendricks, of
St. Louis, either to sell or trade
their star.
Weeghman and Mitchell arrived
in Chicago yesterday from St. Louis,
where they failed in their attempt
to obtain Hornsby. Hendricks was
on the train with them.,
"While it doesn't seem possible to
me that a trade can be made, still
we have consented to the confer
ence," said Hendricks, "and we will
go over the entire matter."
"I don't know what will happen,
but we are hopeful," said Weegh
man.

REVEILLE
It's dawn on a winter morning,
Dawn with a streak of gray;
With me asleep in the blankets,
Dreaming my time away;
Snuggled under the white .top
Just as the gray mist clears,
Dreaming of other mornings
Back through a thousand years.
And then with a call that e3hoes
Drear as the funeral drum,
Cutting my heart to ribbons— '
Tlio Reveille says "Come"!
It's dawn on a winter morning,
With a red streak through the trees.
With me asleep in the blankets,
Dreaming of peace and ease;
Dreaming of days behind me,
Far from the khakied brave.
Far from a stove unlighted
And a tent as cold as the grave;
And then with a blare that tosses
Itts woe to the winter skies.
Tearing my soul to pieces—
The Reveille says "Rise"!
The guns of the Huns are one thing,
I Part of a big day's job;
The big gas shells are another.
Bringing their thrill or throb;
Life in a dugout's nothing t
To bring on a ringing cheer.
But give me the big shells crashing,
Give me the guns to hear—
Give me the Huns' worst answer,
Give me the charging drum
When out of the cold dawn's shadows
The Reveille says "Come!"
THE GAME TO PLAY
We have put in a good part of our brief career either playing some
[ game or watching others play some game and inscribing comments thereon.
Through this extended observation we have had a chance to see the great
value of sport In ways that are both physical and mental. But it doesn't
take very long from an observation post among the white tents to see that
the army game is the best training of them all. *•
Universal military service would be a wonderful thing for the young men
of a country, even if this war ended forever the thought of battle and blood.
It is undoubtedly the greatest training' a man or boy around twenty can
get, for it accomplishes three of the great things of life —
1. It gives him health and strength.
2. It teaches him the value of discipline.
8. It shows him the value of service in the development of character.
These three things are quite enough, even if there was not attached the
matter of a preparedness that would leave the flag forever safe.
ONE WRENCH—AND THEN
For a good many years of your life you get in the habit of getting up at
S or 9 o'clock in a warm room, and kick if the radiator isn't working 100
per cent, right.
Then, on a day's notice you are suddenly getting up in a cold tent thirty
minutes before daybreak, with fourteen hours' work ahead of you, involving
a mixture of artillery, mathematics and a fifteen-mile hike. And in three
days you don't remember*much about any other existence, so far as com
forts or discomforts go.
Life, after all, is the toughest game of them all to dope. It can't be done.
A NEW FORM OF "CARRYING ON"
One was a lieutenant in a colored company. The other was a private.
Both were dusky hued.
One morning the lieutenant gave the private an order. The private's
reply was "Go to hell." Result: The private was immediately called be
fore the board.
'This is a very serious offense," the general said. "What is your excuse?"
"Dor", general," the private remarked, "I didn't mean nothin' by that.
I didn't mean nothin' at all. Me and that nigger carries on that way all the
time, but he jes' happened to be mad at me that uiornin' 'cause he
thought I'd took his gal."
Which made it nice and pleasant for the colored lieutenant. Very.
You can pick up a few stray human characteristics from a ball club or
from a bunch of golf professionals or golf dubs, but If you desire to get a
handful of aforesaid human characteristics put yourself in a tent in the
middle of 27,000 men drawn from every walk, nook and variety of existence.
They begin to pop so fast that old Doc Argus himself couldn't see a tenth.
LOCAL TOSSERS
FEAR VINCOME
Philadelphia Aggregation Is
Made Up of Speedy Boys;
New Men Get Trial
Those Independent "Cagers" are a
little worried over Saturday night's
contest. Vincome is scheduled for the
first of a series of games with the
locals. Fans know what the Quaker
aggregation is capable of doing. Those
who /have been watching the work
of Vlncome each season are of the
opinion that it is the best team of
tossers in Philadelphia.
To date Vincome has been winning
in games away from home, playing
teams in the coal regions and league
contests. Outside of the Eastern
teams there are few showing any
thing special in the way of cage work.
Harrisburg has had the vbest that
could be had and with Vincome
another rare attraction Is' promised.
New I'layera Practice
The local Ave will in all proba.
billty be the same as played Tues
day night agalnßt York. Ike Mc-
Cord will be in the game as well as
the Ford boys, Sourbier and McCon

trying out several new players in or
der to have good ninn for emergency
work, and they may bo given a
chance to show their speed In the
game with Vlncome. Play will stnrt
at 5.15, and be followed with the
usual dance. It will be the last holi
day program as the college boys will
return to their studies next week.

Owner of Providence Club
Said to Be Slated For
Barrow's Job
New York, Jan. 3. —Joseph Lannin,
former owner of the Boston Ameri
cans and majority stockholders in
tho Providence club, is likely to be
named president of the International
league to succeed Edward Grant
Harrow, resigned. This became known
.hore when, from one of the league's
clubowners. It was learned that the
lilts will positively open the 1918 sea
son. The plans for a schedule, read
justment of tho clrc-ilt and other
details will be completed at a meet
ing of the league In this city Febru
ary 12.
\o Cut In Circuit
The Internationals will not cut
down to a six-club circuit. They will
go along at the old scale even should
It become necessary to take in an
other city. Sammy Lichtcnheini,
owner of the Montreal club, has been
wavering and may quit, but even this
is doubtful. Sartimy, should the league
decide to continue, would hardly run
the risk of losing his territorial
rights.
Lannln, the man who is mentioned
as the next president of the league,
was one of those In favor of throw
ing up the spongp. It is said, how
ever, that he has been won around,
and as the chief executive will stick
up for the desires of his clubowners.
Pat Powers, wlia was also men
tioned for tho presidency, is said to
have refused the position. Pat was
thrown out for Barrow when in his
prime and doesn't like the idea of
playing second fiddle now. Besides,
the salary is said to be unsatisfactory
to him.
Denver Without a Team
First Time in 20 Years
Denver, Jan. 3.—Any doubt that
might have existed as to the reten
tion of a Western League baseball
team in Denver was definitely ended
yesterday when Hugh Jones, owner
of the local Western League fran
chise, telegraphed to the owners of
the baseball park here waiving his
option on a renewal of the lease of
the park. The lease expired with the
beginning of the new year. This will
be the first time In more than twenty
years that Denver lias not been rep
resented In organized baseball.
REULBAOH LOSES JOB
Boston, Jan. 2.—Pitcher Ed Reul.

BIGTRACKMEET
Cancel Indoor Games; Dates
to Be Fixed at March
Meeting
New York, Jan. 3.—The intercol
legiate track and field championship
games of the I. C. A. A. A. A. will be
held on Friday and Saturday, May 31
and June 1, unless there is a consti
tutional amendment changing the
date, and there will be no indoor in
tercollegiate meet this year. This
was the official announcement made
to-day by Romeyn Berry, of the Grad
uate Advisory Committee. It should
3et at rest all rumors as to change
of date of the annual outdoor games
and as to the probability of the hold
ing of the indoor games.
"It is probable." said Mr. Berry,
"that the games will be held on
Franklin Field, Philadelphia. No
other member of the association is in
a position to be the host for thg
games, and Pennsylvania has already
expressed a willingness to act in that
capacity. There is no doubt that
Pennsylvania will lay a formal invi
tation before the annual convention
and that it will be accepted."
May Change Date
Mr. Berry explained that unless the
annual convention of the association
which will be held on March 2 adopts
an amendment providing for chang
ing the date of the outdoor games
they will be held at the usual time,
which is the Saturday following the
last Friday of May. The preliminary
competitions are always held on the
afternoon of the day preceding.
.. Berry said that the sentiment
of the members of the association was
strongly in favor of holding the out
door meet,and against a continuation
of the indoor competitions at this
time. In view of the opinion of the
majority that the indoor meet should
be eliminated, the association will
not issue entry, blanks, and It will
make the request of its members not
to send entries for that meet. This
is the only means whereby it is pos
sible to cancel the games without
holding a general convention of the
association and passing an amend
ment to the constitution.
"While It cannot be expected that
the meet will be as representative as
ir. the past, practically all the col
leges of the association will have
teams of some sort or another pres
ent," Mr. Berry said.
Swamp Carlisle Indjans
in Game With Navy Team
Annapolis, Jan. 3.—Showing some
what improved form as compared
to their last two games, the Navy
basketball team won from the Car
lisle Indians on the armory court
here this afternoon by a score of
43-9. The redskins put up a game
light, as they always do in athletics,
but they were hopelessly outclassed
as well as outweighed. Olsen, one
of the Navy forwards, had a big field
day, caging the ball ten times.
Metoxen and Hayes bore the brunt of
tho work for the Indians, while
Welch and Lewis also did well for
the Middies.

Local athletes ldcntifled with the
Pennsylvania Railroad athletic asso
ciations, with the exception of the
Motive Power department, i have been
slow in getting down to indoor
sports. At the big gymnasium in
North Seventh street there is daily
activity that indicates good results
In the big system contests. For real
hustlers you must hand it to the Mo
tive Power aggregation.
Thus far Harrisburg athletes and
contestants are leading in the vari
ous elimination contests for the
championship of the Pennsylvania
Railroad system. The Enola billiard
stars have set a pace that will be
hard to equal. It looks very much
like another series of cups coming
this way In March.
There Is much concern as to what
the Government control will do to
athletics in Pennsylvania Railroad
circles. Officials here are of tile be
lief that there will be no interrup
tion. Many of last season's stars
are out doing their bit for Uncle
Sam, but those at home are capable
of making good and will keep going.
The promoter who will give Har
risburg baseball next season is still
in hiding. Perhaps he is waiting
for a thaw and will get busy later.

baseball. Some one In Hagerstown a
few weeks ago mentioned this city
as a Blue Ridge probability. Better
than no baseball.
Coach Wallower of the Central
Illgh team Is working his squad over
time. He is going to have some
varsity team. This is his first year,
but he has never fallen down in any
thing he has tackled In the way ot
sports.
Judging by the large increase iri
the number of bowlers there ought to
be some strong arms for throwing
hand grenades for Uncle Sam later.
One bowling enthusiast said to-day,
"You will find less sickness among
the bowling fraternity than in any
other sport followers." It must be ad
mitted that bowling is good exer
cise. One thing is certain, bowlers
always sleep well. That counts.
With the cost of baseball soaring
it will be necessary to have the umps
indulge in a little conservation next
season. The boy who gets the ball
that was hit over the fence will have
little trouble in getting into a game
if he brings the ball back.
There is to be a new name for a
speed ball. The pitcher who has the
strong arm will throw camouflage
balls. So fast they ca'nnot be seen
by the batter.
