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.

A big turkey I gobbler with red, white and blue in his plumage, reached the White House yesterday froitj Kiefer, Okla.
