♦ CENTRAL HIGH BASKETBALL TEAMS OFFER STRONG BID FOR LARGE PATRONAGE
TECH CONTEST
IN AFTERNOON
Play Carlisle Indians at the
Chestnut Street Auditor
ium; Probable Lienup
Because of a lack of the proper il
luminating facilities at the Armory,
the basketball game scheduled to be
played there to-night, Tech vs. Car-
Halo Indians, will be played on the
Chestnut Street floor to-morrow af
ternoon, beginning at 2 o'clock. The
Maroon aggregation has been going a
fast clip the past week, and those in
charge of the team say that the Tech
lads look like a championship outfit
with Lingle and Ebner at forward,
tVilsbach at center. Beck and Kohl-
Caan at guard.
Should the size of the crowd war
rant it to-morrow, it is likely that
hiore of the contests will be staged in
the afternoon in order not to inter
fere with tho orders of the Fuel Ad-
Diinistrator, in the saving of coal.
The game will be a contest In which
every effort will be taken to put the
players in prime condition for their
second league contest that will be
played at Lebanon next Wednesday
eight. Last year's runner-up is again
In the running, although they have
met with a reverse in their first tilt
with Tech, the fact that they are -lay
ing at home, will give the affair a dif
lerent aspect.
Now Heal Contender
Until this year Tech was never a :
teal contender for basketball honors. |
Several times the Maroon aggregation !
has finished a*victorious season on
the gridiron, which gave the locals a [
claim to state honors. Time and
again they have cleaned up the state
honors on the track. This year they j
feel that the time has come to reach '
their aspirations in the cage. Coach j
Miller has been working hard with
the squad, and much of the credit for
the success of the quintet will go to
him. Last year he began to build up
a team from the ground floor with
no hopes at that time for a winner.
His one thought was for the future,
and it now looks as if the time has
tome for a Central Penn championship.
Faculty Director Grubb has arrang
ed to have dancing feature to-mor
row's bill, and the Freshmen will be,
pitted against the Juniors in the pre
liminary. The interclass tilt will be
played by these stars:

Betting the old punch warmed up
for a bust at Fred Fulton's chances
for a match with Champion Willard.
After Fulton has taken a 10-round
performance with Billy Miske into
liis system to-night at St. Paul, Ful-|
ton and Moran, the two outstanding
heavies just now, will go to New Or
leans and have it all over with.
Nerves had better be left behind
■when Fulton walks into the ring with
Moran, for one good solid crack
from the right hand of the veteran
Pittsburgher will be sufficient to
put Fred out of all consideration
for a championship match Just at
present.
Miske has little chance of worry
ing the big plasterer. In these days
the remark Bob Fitzsimmons made
Romo years ago to the effect that
the bigger they are the harder they
fall means only a bunch of words.
That is, to consider it as applying to
Fred Fulton. Fulton is too big and
too clever for Miske.
Charley Weinert is a splendid man
of his pounds. But he lasted very
briefly when pitted against Fulton.
The match now appears as it it
would cause a lot of interest in the
coming bout between Moran and
Fulton.

BUCKLES NOT WANTED
Scranton, Pa., Jan. 18.—It is said
that at the recent meeting of the
national commission in Cincinnati,
President J. H. Farrell, of the New
York State League, tried to dispose
of Pitcher Jess Buckles, the giant
left hander, who has been the only
real pitcher on the Scranton team
for the last two seasons. Buckles, it
appears, is now the property of the
State League, being taken over by
the organization as a partial set-off
against the unpaid dues and assess
ments of the Scranton club. The re
port has it that Farrell offered
Buckles to the market for SSOO, but
there were no takers.

Team Work a Factor
Central High is in good shape for
to-night's battle with Lebanon
High tossers. This is the second In
terscholastlc League game for Cen
tral. Lebanon has been playing a
good game and will give the locals a
hard chase. In addition to this con
test the Central girls will play the
Camp Hill High girls.
Under the direction of Coach Wal

good work. Every man was put
through special stunts during the
afternoon practice, and team work is
to be an important factor in the
work of the locals to-night.
Arrangements have been made by
Professor Saul, of Central, to care
for an unusually large crowd, as this
game will forecast the first Tech-
Central contest. In addition to this,
the fact that the Indians have can
celed their game with Tech which
was scheduled for to-night, will di
vert a large crown to Chestnut Street

a majority around the ringside.
A decision rendered against Olm

contest and the judges agreed that
Wilson showed the better form. Sub

ATHLETES HANG
RECORDS IN MA
NEW FIGURES
New York, Jan. 18. —The remark- 1
able advance made in track and field
athletics by American performers in
recent years is strikingly demonstrat
ed by the latest charts of the
Amateur Athletic Union. With the
exception of two or three events, the
records show that almost every
standard contest has repeatedly been
bettered during the period since the
early eighties when the A. A. U. was
organized.
The 100-yard dash record was cut
down 2-5 of a second in a trifle less
than thirty years. Between 1888 and
1918 it was broken twice and no less
than eleven sprinters participated in
bi-eaking or tying the time. In the
220-dash 4-5 of a second was lopped
oft the time in a similar period, the
record being broken twice and eight
runners receiving credit for exceed
ing or equaling the previous clock
ing. The quarter-mile event is one of
the exceptions to the general rule.
Wendell Baker ran the 440 yards in
47 3-4 seconds in 1886 and in 1900
Maxey Long reduced the time to 47
seconds flat. Since that date no
sprinter has ever equaled this per
formance.
Longer Distance Records
Coming to the longer distances,
the half-mile run has been bettered
twice, 3H seconds having been cut
off the time made by Lon Myers in
1885. This time was lowered twice
and four athletes are credited with
tying or breaking the record. In the
mile run 8 4-5 seconds marks tho
improvement. W. G. George ran the
distance In 1882 in 4.21 2-5 and in
turn Tommy Conneff, John Paul
Jones and Norman Tabre each clip
ped the time until, at present 't
stands at 4.12 3-5. The five-mil 3 rec
ord has been broken three times and
equaled once since 1887 and the to
'al gain amounts to 54 2-5 st-coiuls.
The ten-mile run shows a gain nt
1.55 1-5 seconds since 1886. the rec
ord of that date having been better
ed three times.
lit the hurdle races 1 1-S seconds
marks the gain over the 120-yard

CENTRAL GIRLS
PLAY TONIGHT
Meet Camp Hill High Girls al
Chestnut Street Audi
torium
Camp Hill High Girls' team will
play Central High School on the
Chestnut Street Auditorium floor to
night. During: the present season
Camp Hill has made wonderful strides
in the game, and have defeated sev
eral fast teams. The game to-night
is expected to be a fast one, as the
teams are evenly matched and the
players are in splendid condition.
The 'cross-river quintet, with little
experience in the game before being
coached this year, has been showing
up well against teams of their
strength. Prior to this year the girls'
team at Camp Hill was a failure. Since
Coach Dunkle took charge of this
squad, at tha opening of this season,
the team has taken on a new life.
One Lost (iame
The only gamo lost by the Camp
Hill team was to the Hassett Club
live, on the Camp Hill floor, several
weeks ago, in a closely contested
fray. Should Camp Hill win to-night
it would be up to the Hasset five and
the 'cross-river ttamio battle out for
championship honors."
A large body of students from the
West Shore town are expected to be
present at the contest. These stu
dents will occupy a section of seats at
the auditorium and it is likely will
give Central a run for their money
when it comes to cheering. The prob
able lineup is as follows:

New York, Jan. 18.—Reports that
Miss Molla Bjurstedt contemplates a

been vigorously denied by the Norse
girl, who holds the womenos na
tional singles championship of the

nis in this country and is at present

annual invitation women's tennis

Miss Bjurstedt has made no an
nouncement as to her intentions with
regard to the women's indoor nation
al championship, played annually on
the courts of the Seventh Regiment

that she *'ill compete. Miss Marie

George Goulding, the Canadian
lieel-and-toed the distance In 6.28
and no other performer has equaled
those figures since.
Field Events
The field events also afford some
remarkable examples of the im
provement in athletic competition.
The running high Jump mark has
been moved up 3 5-16 Inches since
1887 when W. B. Page cleared 6 feet,
4 inches. Eddie Beeson holds the rec
ord at present with 6 feet, 7 5-16
inches, but in the interim Mike
Sweeney and George Horine held the
figures of their day thus proving fac
tors in the climb of the jumpers.
The broad jump shows an Improve
ment of 1 foot. 4 1-4 inches. In 1886
the figures stood at 23 feet, 3 inches,
made by Malcolm Ford and between
that date and Meyer Brimsteln's rec
ord leap of 24 feet, 7 1-4 inches, the
records were broken five times by
four different broad jumpers. The
hop, step and jump shows a gain of
6 feet, 9 1-4 inches, between 1884
and 1911, when the existing figures
were established by Dan Aliearn.
The pole vaulters also kept raising
the bar steadily from the day when
Baxter did 11 feet, 5 inches, in 1887.
Mark Wright now holds the record
with 13 feet, 2 1-4 inches, but the
original height has been improved
upon no less than seven times and
tied once. In the weight events, 14
feet, 3 1-8 inches mark the gain be
tween Queckberner's heave of 2 8
feet, 1-4 inches, with the 56-pound
ball and Matt McGrath's 40 feet,
6 3-8 inches, made in 1911. The shot
put gain amounts to 7 feet, 1 inch,
having been broken six times in a
period of thirty years. The discus
throw was not established until 1897
and the first figures were held by C.
H. Henneman with 118 feet, 9 inches.
In 1912 the present record of 145
feet, 9 % inches, was made by Dun
can, but during these fifteen years
the figures were improved no less

PHILLIES PLAN
TRAINING TRIP
President Baker Confers With
Manager Moran; Talk
About Trades
New York, Jan. 18.—Pat Moran,
the field director of the Phillies,
made his second winter visit to New
York yesterday for the purpose of
discussing the club's training plans
with President Baker. Moran es
caped back to Fitchburg, Mass,,
without suffering any new calamity.
The last time Peerless Pat was here
he was compelled to sit Idly by
while Alexander and Killefer were
amputated from his battery depart
ment.
Whether the Phillies contemplate
any new deals Moran would not say.
He contented himself by remarking
that the owner of the Phillies will
be ready to strengthen the club
whenever any advantageous deal
presents itself. It will be recalled
that President Baker promised the
Philadelphia faYis that the money
obtained for Alexander and Killefer
would be utilized in buying new ma
terial. Moran predicted a tight,
well-balanced pennant race In the
National League next season. Ho
declared there is not a team in the
league that will be able to make a
runaway race.
Talk on Trades
It is said that Moran and Baker
conferred on some trades to
strengthen the Philly pitching de
partment. Moran says that "'out
side of his batteries he will have a
better club in 1918 than he had in
1917."
Moran talks very enthusiastically
about Meusel and Fitzgerald, two
outfielders from the Pacific Coast
League, both of whom may play reg
ularly for the Phillies next -season.
Fitzgerald played with the Yankees
under Hal Chase back In 1911. In
the event both Meusel and Fitzger
ald came through, Moran will play
a brand new outfijeld next season,
consisting of Fitzgerald, Williams
and Meusel. In that event the bril
liant Whitted will relieve Fred Lu
derus at first base, while Cravath
will be carried as a utility outfielder
and pinch hitter.
Training Plans
The Phillies will train at .St.
Petersburg, Fla., next spring. The
men will report about thirty days
previous to the opening of the Na
tional League season. Moran says
the Phillies are trying to arrange a
spring exhibition tour with the
Washington Americans, who will
train at Tampa, Fla.
Discussing Alexander, Moran ex
pressed an opinion that there was
the event that Alexander was drafted
little chance of any hitch in the
sale of his late pitching star to
Chicago. He said under the agree
ment made by Baker and Weegh
man the deal was to be called off in
thirty days before the opening of
the season. He says the Chicago
club has made no attempt to call the
deal off.

Academy to Meet Haverford
To-morrow the blue and gold

on their schedule when they go to
Philadelphia to play Haverford.
Though Haverford lost its first game
last Saturday, a good contest is ex
pected. Coach Gavin has returned
to the Academy after an absence on
account of illness and is now look
ing after the basketball men again.
There may be some change in the
lineup but Coach Gavin has *aid
nothing definite. Two of the
