SCHOLASTIC CAGE LEAGUE SERIES STARTS TONIGHT WITH TECH-LEBANON GAME CENTRAL HIGH IN GOOD FORM; PLAY LEWISTOWN Central High will open her 1918 basketball season Saturday night with Lewistown High, at Lewistown. Hard practices are being held every Mon day, Wednesday and Thursday in preparation for this game, and the game with Allentown on January 11. Lewistown is not in the-Penasylvania Scholastic League, but was booked when Lancaster withdrew from the league. Coach Wallower is greatly pleased with the work of his squad and has promised to put a combination on the floor that will make a strong bid for the championship. He is confident of a victory over the Lewistown five, despite their big "rep." Men on Team Two letter men remain from last year. They are Frank, center, and Fellds, guard. Coach Wallower is building his team around those men. Frank is playing a much better game than last year at the pivot position, lie has improved greatly in every de partment. His shooting of both fouls nnd field goals is wonderfully im proved. Fields is playing the best game of his career at guard, and promises to figure prominently in both the defen sive and offensive. He is faster than INDIAN TEAM IS DOWN TO WORK Activity Starts With Lebanon Valley at Annville To morrow Night Carlisle, Pa., Jan. 4.—The Car lisle Indian basketball team plunged formally into its season's work this •week when they played their first big game, a contest with the Navy at Annapolis. A good schedule has 1 een arranged by C. M. Blair, the riianager, which will run until the latter part of March and a number of leading teams are Included. The team this year is one of vet erans and is rounding into shape rapidly. The quintet for first line work as at present constituted in cludes Metoxin, Herman, Vigil, Le- Jloy or'' '':, yes, all with the excep tion liie latter men who played wit ,i the team last year. Plenty Good Material There is a good field of substi tutes being developed by intercom pany and interclass matches, and the cage sport is taking op a new prominence at the government in stitution for red men. The follow ing is the schedule as so far made out. January 5, Lebanon Valley vs. Ready when you need it What is more changeable than the weather? You may have the windows open at five o'clock and be making a new fire at six. Buy a Perfec tion Oil Heater. Then there's no raking, poking and sitting in cold, damp rooms waiting for the fire to come up. A match for kindling, kero sene for fuel—and a cheerful, radiating heat is at your command. PERFECTION Smokeless Oil Heaters mean comfort and safety for the whole family. Put a Perfection in the children's room at bed time and getting-up time. Let grandmother have it in her favorite bay window. For any room in the house at any time, any weather, a Perfection is always ready, always dependable, always satisfactory. It does make a difference, though, what kind of kero* sene you use. There's only one kind you can be abso lutely sure of. That is Rayolight Oil. It has this special name to distinguish it from ordinary kerosenes and gives better results because it's so highly refined and purified. Look for the sign: "Atlantic Rayolight Oil for Sale Here." Don't forget to see Perfection Oil Heaters at your dealer's. They are reasonably priced—s4.so to $8.50. THE ATLANTIC REFINING COMPANY Philadelphia and Pittsburgh |H§ Rayolight FRIDAY EVENING, last year and is shooting with a great deal more accuratcy. As a. guard Fields ranks with the best in the state. Wolfe a Good Man Wolfe is showing up well at the other gurfd positiou. Last year he was a substitute until near the close of the season, when he took the place of one of the varsity who was barred. He played a good game last year and under the watchful eyes of Coach Wallower he is rapidly improving. Goodiel is playing a good game at his position. He is a good shot and a fast floor man. Wingeard is the smallest man that ever played on a Central team but this does not effect his play in the least. In spite of the fact that he is smaller than any other player by several inches and weighs only 115 pounds, he is putting lip a wonderful game at forward. He is an accurate shot from any angle and plays a fast floor game. Wright, ltodgers and Herring arc the substitutes. All of these men are playing excellent games but are han dicapped by their lack of experience. However, they will all prove capable substitutes. A captain will be elected in the near future to take the place of Dick Gregory, who enlisted in the Governor's Troop last year.

Deny Mike O'Neil Deal; Syracuse Leader Smiles St. Louis, Jan. 4.—Despite Mike O'Neil's statement that he had been offered the management of the St. Louis Cardinals. Branch Rickey, of the Cardinals, does not agree with him. Rickey denied hero yesterday that he had tendered the vacant post to O'Neil, though he admit? he has known O'Neil well for some time and considers him an able man. The denial of Rickey caused quite a surprise here, as O'Neil is well known here and is not the man who would have made such a statement unless there was some reason for it. It is known, however* that O'Neil conferred with Rickey at the annual meeting of the National League in New York in December.

The b>ys' team will meet a bunch from the Harrisburg Y. 51. C. A., while the girls' quintet will oppose a picked team from the Cen tra! High school. This was an open date for both teams and much difficulty was ex perienced in getting games. Both teams next week will start on the hardest part of the schedules. The varsity team will meet Gettysburg High school on the Gettysburg floor, next Friday evening. Camp Hill will be compelled to display a good caliber of ball as the battlefield boys have not lost a single contest this season. Coach Dunkle put the team through a strenuous practice last night in preparation for the contest. The team benefited much from the game with the Alumni tean* last I week, being compelled to play ; against a team of long experienced • men.

President Gets Belated Gobbler From Oklahoma By Associated Press Washington, Jan. 4. A big turkey I gobbler with red, white and blue in his plumage, reached the White House yesterday froitj Kiefer, Okla. There was nothing on the crate to identify the sender, but the gobbler probably was intended as a gift for the President's Christmas dinner and was delayed on the road by railroad congestion. In honor of his extraordinary coat he was given bigger quarters "and a dinner on his own account.

Volun teer workers are needed immediate ly. It is estimated that the work can i be completed in a month, with ten ■ workers on duty each day. Mrs. R. L. Gillespie, secretary of the local chapter, is in charge of the work. The system used was suggest ed by Miss Alice R. Eaton, librarian of the local Public Library. A num ber of the women who have volun teered are women registrants who volunteered for service through the patriotic war service registration several weeks ago. These registrants are under the leadership of Mrs. James I.

HKRRISBURG TELEGR APH NO CHANGE IN GRIDIRON RUUES Officials Say Code of Last Season Will Be Continued New York, Jan. 4. —The football rules are not to be altered. The chairman of the rules committee announced to the assembled A. A. li. delegates that he saw no reason for changing the gridiron laws, in asmuch as they are stablo and just. Adding that there would probably be no winter session of the commit tee, he closed with praise of the present code. It is a mighty healthy sign when the football rules committee stops tinkering with the laws. The prac tice of altering the code has done more to prevent the red-blooded game from gaining the favor that baseball enjoys. Game Misunderstood It prevented the average follower of sports from becoming familiar with the principles and rules of the game. So consistently did the rules committee effect these sweeping changes that it wearied the fan and he gave up. tho effort of trying to learn the finer points of the game. This was especially true in the South. When the forward pass came into vogue and the grid legislators de cided that there should be four downs to gain ten yards, the game took a boom. While the attendance during the past season was below that of 1916, it would have been greater in a normal time. There is more interest in football to-day in the South than ever before. ] Sound Science at the Basis of Belief in Merit of 'Beauty Sleep' The material basis of morals, mind and soul exists in the cells of the brain, which number anywhere from 600,000,000 to 2,000,000,000, or approximately the number of people on earth. They vary in shape and function, but have the same physical needs—food and water. In fatigue' their food stores diminish and they shrink considerably in size. To be refreshing sleep must be dreamless. On awakening there should be no memory of the hours of sleep, but only the pleasant con sciousness of life. Sleep is the time for rebuilding those cells which have been engaged in the operations, of consciousness and which have been worn out dur ing the hours of activity. Anemia of the brain is needful for brain rest. If by overexertion any one persists in maintaining a literal state of "redheadedness," in which the rest of the body cannot at the required moment (bedtime) drain off the superfluous blood, then that person must dream or Buffer from insomnia, or both, and is in a fair way toward a serious break down. Many conditions may induce sleep lessness or its twin.sister, the dream state. Too great a strain, too little work, cold, heat, a draughty room, I a stuffy room, a cramped position, faults in the bed. the pillow or the bed clothes, emotion; heart disease, high blood pressure, too much tea or coffee —and innumerable other causes. The commonest cause is dvs pepsia. To go to bed with the brain acutely interested is clearly a mis take. Sleeps All the Time The healthy new-born chll<J, save when taking its meals, sleeps all the time. With increasing age the amount required diminishes till, when seven years old. half the day suffices for rest and at 18 only nine hours of sleep are required. The adult ma*v, if he is a good T subject, lessen, this by an hour, while old people may be amply satisfied with seven, six or even five hours. Med ical opinion is agreed that no grow ing child should have less than nine hours' sleep. Regularity in time and duration of sleep is essential to the growing organism. There is sound science at <the basis of the old belief in "beauty sleep," and the value of the hour be fore 12 at night so spent. From 1 to 3 a. m. the vital tides are at their ebb. It is well to prepare the body for these fateful hours, and there can be no better preparation than the reconstruction Obtained by sev eral hours of sleep. The best time ! for the ordinary man or woman to sleep is from 10 to 7. Best Room in the Mouse The bed room should be in the sunniest and best room in the house. It should be rounded, with no cor ners for holding "dead air." The bed should be in the middle of the room and the bed clothes light and warm in winter, but never exerting pres sure on the sleeper. The bed should be aired all day and made up just before retiring. Sleep in the most comfortable position, avoiding all theories against special positions.— Louisville Courier-Journal.

As a preliminary con test, the Sophomores will line up against a Senior aggregation. Tech appears to have the best team in the history of the • school, and Coach Miller has a squad of fifteen players who look like championship caliber. It will be difficult to make the final selection. Last week in the Alumni contest the players who were ,iven a trial in the second halt clinched the contest and were really in better for mthan the five who started the game. • Ready For Erny The Maroon players have been practicing at the Chestnut street hall every evening after supper, and are in great shape for the Tray to-night. In addition to an inter-class game, dancing will also bt> a reature, and the Ross Church orchestra will fur nish music for the occasion. Lebanon comes to this city with three veterans from last season. Trout, at center, is an experienced player who is one of the best jumpers in the league. Young Strickler. a brother of "Polly,"- is an all-around athlete who will be seen at guard to night. He plays football, basketball and dashes on the track in great form. Wolf is another football player who wins honors in the Lebanon cage. While Tech hopes to win, it should be a battle royal from begin ning to end. Probable I.fneups Coach Miller will not announce His final selection until the last minute. With the game won, he will give a number of the anxious players a chance to show what they can do in a league fray. The probable lineups will be: Tech. Lebanon. Lingle, f. Chadwick, f. Kohlman, f.
