The teams were evenly matched and gave a line ex hibition of passing, shooting, offen sive and defensive playing. Miller, of Lebanon, was the sen sation of the game. This speedy guard caged two two-pointers the lirst half and played a good defen sive game. The second half, when his team was eleven points in the rear of Central, he played a whirl wind game and tossed the ball through the basket nine times. Leb anon semed to put all their confi dence in Miller and gave him the ball every time it was possible to do so. Sensational Work By his shooting he showed his teammates that their confidence was not misplaced. He kept his position at guard but played as a forward. His teammates put all their efforts toward getting the ball and then getting it to Miller, who would be found somewhere near the basket. Miller proved beyond doubt that he is an excellent shot and a mighty Rood player. Light and Captain Wolfe played fine games for Leb anon. Both of these lads were la ways found near the ball. All Stars on Central Every man on the Central team was a star. Wright and Frank de serve special mention for their great work. Prank scored over half of Central's points. He is credited with live goals from the field and eigh teen out of twenty-one fouls. The caged six goals from the field and was in every play. By his work lasi night Wright should have earned a regular berth. Wolfe and Fields played good games at their positions and were in evidence all the time. Rodgers was in the game during part of the second half and was given the task of stopping Miller, lie did his part, holding Miller to one goal during the last live min utes. The first half was well played, but things looked to be going Central's way. They outscored the Lebanon < KQWLING TAVLOII-KENX'EDY I.EAGI'E (Taylor Alleys) Bears If®® Senate. <i. i ..ugest (B) <!.

When Lebanon came out for the second half every player wore a determined look on his face and they started to try and cut down that lead.

Games Next Month New York, Jan. 19.—A. R. Kiviat, formerly national one-mile cham pion, both indoors and outdoors, will not be permitted to run in the Hunt er mile at the Boston A. A. games in Mechanics' Hall, Boston, February 2, despite the well-meaning inten tions of Arthur Duffy, the one-time sprint champion and record-holder, and half a dozen other prominent athletic enthusiasts of the Hub. The Amateur Athletic Union de cided that, although Kiviat is an en listed man In the military service, that does not entitle him to compote in an open A. A. U. race unless such a race is strictly a team competi tion. The suggestion was made in Bos ton by Duffy last week that Kiviat's entry in the Hunter Mile would raise that race above the level of medi ocrity which it is likely to have un less some star athletes send in their entry blanks in a hurry. Is Ruled Out Kiviat, it was held, by reason of his being in tho coast artillery, would be eligible to compete in that event by operation of the amendment of the A. A. U. constitution last fali permitting enlisted men to compete among themselves without going through a formality of registering with the A. A. U., and also permit ting them to compete in A. A. U. events as members of teams, Irre spective of whether they were ama teurs or professionals. But when local officials of the A. A. U. were asked whether the Bos ton interpretation of the amendment was correct they said decidadly that it was not and that the only way possible for Kiviat, who was declared a professional by the Metropolitan Association two years ago, could be entered in the Hunter Mile would be by holding it as a team compe tition and scoring it as cross-country races are scored. Penn Planning Relay Races For Franklin Field; Many Military Events on List By Associated Press Philadelphia, Jan. ], For the first time in the history of the University of Pennsylvania relay carnival, mili tary races will be held when the twenty-fourth annual classic is staged at Franklin Field this year on April 26 and 27. The management is plan ning for relay races between Army and Navy camp teams and it is ex pected that a lnrpre number of service quartets will enter the competition. Despite the war. the tendency is to Increase rather than decrease the number of events, and present indica tions are that the list of entries will be larger than last season, it was an nounced to-day. Assurances have been received from Cornell, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Chicago, Pennsylvania in the East and Middle West that they expect to send teams to the meet. The games, as usual, will extend over two days, with the sprint and distance medleys and the pentathlon championship of America the chief at traction on Friday, the opening day. On Saturday the one, two and four mile relay championships for colleges, the freshman one-mile championship, the hight and preparatory school re lav championships and several spec ial events will be the features. In ad dition there will be several inter sectional champion relay races for colleges and scores of scholastic and collegiate class races. Central High Girls Win Victory Over Camp Hill The Central High girls had an easy time with Camp Hill co-eds, winning by a score of 28 to 6. Cap tain Maurer was the shining light of this game. She scored eight times from the field. Miss Maurer and Miss Emnuel played Central's best game. Miss Fry and Miss Patterson played good games for Camp Hill. Miss Maurer opened the scoring with a field goal. She caged another two pointer shortly after this. Miss Maurer scored her third field goal. Shortly afterwards Miss Maurer got two more from the field. The half ended with a field goal by Miss Emanuel, 18-3.

And I cuss the pop-eyed Kaiser Till I'm blue around the gills. THE RIG JOB You know how long it takes to whip a ball club into shape and into proper team play. The manager has only tweqty or twenty-five men to handle. They are all old hand's at the game, or at least experienced through several seasons in various leagues. These are taken South and six weeks is required to get them started. Then 4t is frequently May or June before team play Is developed properly. 1' igure from this the job of handling a modern regiment. There are 2,500 men in place of twenty-five. Most of these 2,500 knew nothing of their game. They have as many various duties to perform as a ball player, for this is a war of specialists and of team play. The infantry and artillery must work together, to avoid big loss, as Evers, Tinker and Chance once worked. The bombers, the sappers, the bayopet advance guard must all work with fine team play or the result is decidedly painful. Suppose we had never had any amount of baseball in this country. And suppose one season we suddenly decided to develop a great number of leagues consisting of a million players. How would these players look at the end of the first year? Figure that out, and then figure what tho regimental commander is up against with less than a year's start. AS FOR ALL-STAR CLANS When it comes to an all-star lineup from one college or school," re marked a football expert the other day, "just how are you going to beat an all-star Indian team?" Which is no easy query to answer. Take a short look at the roster. First, Jim Thorpe, the greatest all-around football star that ever lived. Then such men as Guyon, Mount Pleasant. Hudson: and in the line such men as Bemus Pierce. Then there were Wauseka and Metoxen. A team composed of Bemus Pierce, Mount Pleasant and Thorpe would be no easy one to handle if the other eight men failed to report for the day. The Indians' glory has waned swiftly in the last few years, but It is just as well to remember that Carlisle has turned out enough stars to hold their own with any all-time array that might be picked from any one place. MATTY A\'l> THE NEW SEASON Matty lifted his Reds from last place to the edge of the elect his first year out. The big test is now ahead, for the going is harder once you reach the first division. From every indication he has more than made good as a manager, and it will not be surprising to see him finish around third place next year. If he can get the pitching he hopes to have, there is the chance that he may range even higher. The Reds had the organization and the punch last year. They lacked the pitching only. If they get this, the long drouth that has assailed Red land for forty years can at last be broken. The only trouble is that just as Cincinnati has shown promise and has risen from the depths Fate has had a way of rising up and imparting a swift kick in the face, only to crumble all pleasant dreams. But Fate at times trets tired working on the same matetrial. It may be the Redland shift.to better luck is due. ENGAGEAUSTRIA'S MIGHTIEST HOSTS Italian Battlefront Longer Than French* British and Belgian Fronts Combined "The Italian battlefront," the first official war films of the Italian gov ernment, which will be shown at the Regent theater, Tuesday and Wed nesday of next week, were photo graphed on the firing line under the direction of the supreme general staff. . The _ fact is clearly borne home, after witnessing "The Italian Battle front," that Italy is staging one of the nlost remarkable and insuring performances In Europe—one of which they have every reason to be proud. Italy is holding a front which al most as long as the French and Bel gian fronts .combined. In one single battle Italy lost more men than fell on both sides at Get tysburg. Among ker exploits may he mentioned the fact that she has taken 100,000 prisoners. That to oppose the Austrian offen sive in the Trentlno two years ago, she mobilized a new army of half a million men. completely equipped it, and moved it to the front in seven days. \ That instead of digging her trenches, she lias had to blast most of them from solid rock— That many of her soldiers are liv. ing like Arctic explorers in caverns of ice and snow — And that she has kept engaged some forty Austrian divisions (about 750,000 men), a force sufficient to have turned the scale In favor of the Central Powers on some other front. To sum It all up, one might well quote the words of E. Alexander Powell, the famous war correspond ent, who said after his visit to the Italian front: "After what I have seen over there, I feel lijfe lifting my hat in respect and admiration to the next Italian I see." There Is No Lack of Pretty Girls in the Colleges j Chicago.— Many girls gain a pre | judice against going to college by I noting that the graduating girls on | commencement day are rarely beau j tiful. A lovely girl contemplating what to do next is not excited by the sight of a row of indifferently good looking diploma holders. She i.s much more excited by a Jovely ! r °w of chorus girls. But she is mak | <ng a great mistake in holding this : against the graduating class, tor, ac- I fording to the statistics gathered by the Journal of Heredity, there is no I luck of pretty girls in the lower ! classes of the collfeges. "In the past," the magazine says, j "women students were a selected I sroup. but now it is common for any ; bright girl to enter college, and the ! freshman class is always the pret i liest, many leaving to marry before ! taking a degree." In the west marriage among wom en graduates is much commoner ; than in the east, from 50 to 67 per j cent of the western girls marry, while from 40 to 50 per cent of the eastern girls wed. DEACONESS BOARD MEET - Various problems confronting the society, were discussed at the meet ing of the board of managers of th< Methodist Deaconesses, held at St Paul's Methodist Church, yesterday afternoon.

Camp Hill High Five Snowed Under at Carlisle Carlisle High School romped away with Camp Hill in a game on the Y. M. C. A. floor at Carlisle yesterday afternoon, score 30 to 8. The Camp' Hill team members had the ginger knocked out of them by several de cisions In the early part of the game that spectators thought were very unfair. Disgusted with the condi tions, Camp Hill played a half-heart ed game which Is partly responsible for the one-sided score. The 'cross river, bunch, too, had considerable trouble in locating the baskets. Basehore, Camp Hill's best scorer, was lost to them early in the game when he was tripped, which resulted in a large cut upon his arm. This wound proved serious as was unable to play fast and consist ent ball during the remainder of the contest. The lineup and summary follow: Camp <4lill. Carlisle. Basehore, f. Coover, f. E.

Liner Texan Was Rammed by a Convoying Warship An Atlantic Port, Jan. 19.—The Ha waiian-American Line steamship Tex an, which was in a collision at sea last Monday, arrived here safely to day under her own steam. She was rammed by a convoying warship, which punched a large hole ir. her port side. The Texan's watertight bulkheads saved her from sinking. Several com partments were full of water when the big merchantman steamed slowly into port. As far as could be learned, the Texan made her return voyage from the scene of the accident unes corted. It was said that none of tiie crew was injured. The vessel was taken In charge by coast guard craft when she entered the harbor. She will be drydocked tor repairs.

If it was possible It might be goofr night for the champion. A dispatch from Detroit says "Pitcher Howard Ehmke, of tho De troit club, is the latest player to giv'e up baseball for the bigger game of war. A message was received at the offices of the local club to-day say ing that Ehmke has enlisted in the Navy." His friends here always said Ehmke was an "admiral fel low." "Charley" Householder with his basketball team, the "M. P." boys, visited Altoona last night, opening their five day vacation. "Budgel," which Is another way to say "Char ley" carried a three day supply of sandwiches with him. "I am not going to take any chances of starv ing if we are tied up along the line," said "Charley," and he works for the Pennsy. A local Co-ed asks why basketball is called "cage sport." Probably be cause some players are so rough they ought to be placed in a cage and kept there. Baseball is one vocation that has not been mentioned to go under the eight hour day rule. Some lUayers think they are working overtime when a game runs two hours. Government control for baseball is not likely to happen, according to "Led" Owens, the former infield star Browns to Lose Weilman; Has Not Fully Recovered St. Louis, Jan. 19.—Carl Weilman has very little hope of helping the Browns in the 1918 pennant race. The big southpaw says that, while he weighs 205 pounds, eighteen pounds more than when he left St. Loyis last August, still the wound caused by the operation has not yet healed and his weight is no guaran tee that he will be able to withstand the strain of pitching. Weilman's assertion bears out the statement of Fielder Jones, made shortly after the season closed, that he entertained small hope of Weil man being able to return to the mound next season, even if he should fully recover from the effects of the operation. It is Jones' opinion that Carlos will not be in shape to stand the strain of pitching for over a year, if at all. Weilman holds out some hope. lit's a cruel blow to both parties, for surely Weilman had one of the mbst promising futures of any pitch er in the game. He had no bad habits, was always in condition and ready to work, and in 1916 was one of the most effective southpaws in the American League.
