Re ports indicate that Tech will be In the pink of condition and the Tech management is prepared to take t are of the largest crowd of the sea son. York will bring along 100 rooters. There Is more enthusiasm in the White Hose city over High School basketball than since the days of "Haps" Benfer. The visitors have visions of a pennant because of the splendid work of Its team to date. To-night Tech has expectations of sending those a glimmering. But to do so, tho local aggregation will have to travel at a fast and furious pace throughout the game. Wlls l'ach has been picked to toss the fouls. He will in all probability do tho work from the fifteen-foot mark with "Dutch" Miller in reserve.

Champion Pete Herman Must Join the Colors; Is Refused Exemption New Orleans, Jan. 31.—Pete Her man. world's bantamweight cham pion. has lost his fight for exemp tion after six months' contest. He recently canceled all bouts on ac count of his eyes, which leads to the belief that Herman may make another stand against service on the same grounds. The war District Appeal Board No. 1 ha 3 placed the little Italian pugilist in Class 1, Division 1, a spe cial division subject to immediate call. Herman is the two hundred end fifty-eighth man in his board. His division must furnish 650 men by February 15. Herman says that he is willing to go to war, but before he goes to the training quarters he would like to defend his title against any ban tamweight in the world the pro moters can secure, and he is willing and ready to meet Johnny Ertle, Kid Williams, Frankie Burns or Pal Moore if the match can be arranged at once. Famous Pedestrian to Walk Until He Is Eighty Chicago, 111., Jan. 31.—Dan O'Leary has arranged to retire from the walking game. "I will be 77 next June," he said on Wednesday. "In three more years I will be 80, and at 80 it is time to take in sail. "I have just returned from Dixon, where an old friend, M. E. Rice, runs a hotel, the Anchusa tavern, estab lished in 18S8. Mr. Rice also owns a skating rink and I put on a walk { ing race with two roller skaters. I did a mile on-heels against their two and one-half miles on wheels. Mr. Rice thought I was getting too old to beat them and offered to put me up as a permanent guest at his hotel when I reach 90, If I beat the boys. I beat them by a good margin and Mr. Rice says he will stick to his agreement That means I have to walk only thirteen years more be fore I retire." THURSDAY EVENI>J"Gv AMERICAN HEAD SORE OVER LEAK; TO CHANGE DATES Chicago, Jan. 81.—There may be another change In thq American League schedule for the season of 1918 before It Is adopted. President B. B. Johnson of the league, said he might change things again and have all American League clubs be gin the season April IG, instead of allowing the four eastern teams to start one day earlier than the west ern. It was the intention of the sched ule committee to withhold for the present the fact that the eastern teams were to begin playing ball & GrantkentiJ&ce OoMrrlffct, 1917, 111* Trfbun# Association lNr York TrlbnMk FLANDERS FIELDS In Flanders Fields the popples grow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place, while in the sky The larks, still singing bravely, fly Unheard amid the guns below. ' We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset's glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands, we throw The torch: be yours to hold it high; If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies blow In Flanders Fields. —Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae in Punch. THE LIVING ANSWER Sleep, Dreamers, sleep, In quiet content Through all the peace that you have drawn, Until war's final flame is spent Above the silent fields of dawn; Sleep, till the final gun has turned Its crashing answer on the foe; Sleep, through the dreams that you have earned In Flanders, where the poppies blow. Sleep, Dreamers, sleep, in endless rest, You who have reached the Final Inn, Where poppies crown each silent crest Between you and the battle's din; Sleep, Dreamers, sleep, dim wraith by wraith, And hold this message for your Dead, The living will not break the faith They owe to those who've gone ahead. So let the poppies bend and sway "Between the crosses, row on row"; And when light ends another day From flaming dawn to sunset's glow, Or when the darkness gathers deep Where yet the living gur >-d their shields, Let peace eternal crown the sleep That holds your dreams in Flanders Fields. WHAT TRAINING DOES "When this fellow reported here," remarked the battery commander, "I wondered how he had ever been passed. He was stoopshouldered and thin chested. He was drawn into a half knot through rheumatism. You could see that he had never taken any regular exercise or had ever eaten lyoper food. I never had an idea he would last two weeks. And for the first two weeks he came pretty near fading out. And then he began to straighten up a trifle. He began to get his chest out, his shoulders back and his head' up. And when this began to happen he could see for himself that he was turn ing back into a man. That was two months ago. To-day he is a good sol dier, in good condition, clear eyed, clear skin, erect and on the job. War kills quite a number of men. It isn't a very good thing taken as a regular dose. But don't forget that it takes many a weakling and half man and makes him over. If all war ended with the training a man receives it would be one of the great things of civilisation." AS TO FEET The foundation of a house or a building is, on the average, at the bot tom. One rarely sees a foundation erected at the top. In the same way the foundation of an athlete or a soldier is composed mainly of feet. The man who knows how to take care of his feet, whatever the game, is two thirds across. Bad feet have ruined many a ball player, stopped many a football star and ended the career of many a tennis player. And the soldier who doesn't know how to take care of his feet is verging upon a total loss. But as the foot is such a lowly, hun>ble part of the body or system, it receives very little attention until it is too late. Or, as Edgar Allan Poe might have said: "The bean may be useful, The body be neat. But the place to start building Is down at the feet. We sometimes wonder what ball players who complain bitterly at morn ing and afternoon spring practice would think of a day's routine, from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m., including a fifteen-mile hike, four hours of drill and a few additional ingredients tossed in. One of the best ways to cure a complaint 1s to increase the dose. fiOWLING Taylor-Kennedy League (Taylor Alleys) ' Stars 2105 Bears 1759 Burger, (S) 184 Burger, (S) 475 Crescents 1992 Capitals 1940 O'Leiary, (Cap) 222 O'Leary, (Cap) 431 Central Iron and Steel Series (Casino Alleys) ' Accounting Dept. 2015 Sales Dept 1980 Lechthaler, (S) 235 Black, (A) 595 Academy League (Academy Alleys) Artillery 1570 Cavalry 1386 Behney, (C) 147 Behney, (C) 365 Marines ...' 1731 Aviators 1483 Bergstresser, (M) 144 Bergstresser, (M) 40S Sergeants 1756 Majors 1720 Low, (M) 158 Low, (M) 403 Centralis Tossers to Play Independents Saturday Centralla Ave will play the local Independents on the Chestnut Street Auditorium court on Saturday eve ning.

Rose, division freight agent, Philadelphia, Schuylkill and Lebanon divisions, Pennsylvania Railroad, has arranged a very sim ple and yet comprehensive tabl which shows Just what Pennsylva nia did last year in its farming ac tivities: Probably what will surprise most persons is the big yield of buck wheat, as compared with the rest of \ the country. While the nation at large had 1,006,000 acres of buck wheat in cultivation, this state alone claims 350,000 of those acres. The country produced 17,460,000 bushels, and Pennsylvania's share was 6,300,- 000. That represented $10,269,000 for the farmers of this state who raised the delicious buckwheat. In the producing of barley our state was, not so notable, the acre age being 13,000 out of a nation's total of 8,83 5,000. We only turned out 364,000 bushels, worth $510,000. In the matter of corn, however, the Keystone State hold her own, the figures referring to shelled corn. The whole country last year had 119,755,000 acres planted in corn, and Pennsylvania had 1,675,000. The average yield per acre was- 26.4 for the country, but this state showed a higher cultivation, producing 39.6 bushels per acre.

CANADA IS NOW HOME OF GREATEST BUFF UN IEED SEAEES By PETER P. CARNEY, Editor National Sports Syndicate The largest herd of buffalo in the world is now owned by Canada. They form a picturesque group as they roam over the new national reserve set apart for them near Walnwrlght, a city that has sprung up 125 miles cast of Edmonton, Al berta. Canadians recognized the need of action if the bison were to be pre served, and before Americans real ized it they had purchased the en tire herd of 600 from Michael Pablo, of Montana, who had protected them on his ranch near Ravalli. History of the Herd The history of this herd, now the largest in the world, dates back to 18?3, when a Pend o'Rellle Indian captured four little calves—two bulls and two heifers—by cutting them out of a stampeded herd on the Flat head reservation in Montana. The Indian in question gave them to the Mission of St. Ignatius, where they were kept as pets and became as domestic as ordinary cattle. When the heifers were four years old each had a calf. From that time on they gradually increased In number, until, in 1884, there were thirteen head, and finding the care of them too great a tax, the Mission decided to sell them. Ten head were bought for 5250 apiece by Pablo, who was shrewd enough to see that specimens of what was even then almost an extinct animal would eventually be come very valuable. Pablos Made a Fortune The herd Increased under his su pervision, and in a few years it be came possible to sell specimens at high prices. Some idea of the aver age rate of increase may be deduced cleaned up $95,184,000 on their 1917 corn crop. Hay and oats again proved them selves good old standbys, though this state was a trifle behind In get ting percentage results. The United States had 53,616,000 acres in hay; Pennsylvania had 1,175,000. The verage yield per acre for the nation was 1.49, while Pennsylvania could only produce 1.40. Nevertheless the showing is not bad, with a national total of 79,528,000 tons, and Penn sylvania contributing of that 4,32 9,- 000. The crop was worth in this state $75,758,000. In tobacco, the land of William Penn ran away with the blue ribbon. We see that the United States util ized 1,446,600 acres for growing the famous smoke plant, with this state using 41,500 acres. The average yield per acre for the country was 827.1, which is considered pretty good, but just think of the mark set by Pennsylvania tobacco farmers, 1,- 400.0, tobacco leaf, in pounds. Though raised In only m few coun ties tobacco yielded for the growers. Some other sections knew more about potato raising than Pennsyl vania, to judge by the statistics. Here were 321,000 acres In cultiva tion, yielding 92.0, as against the national 100.8. We turned out, all told, 29,532,000 bushels, and the in come from those amounted to $39,- 868,000. The sweet potato was con fined to 1,000 acres, but the grow ing was scientific for the average in Pennsylvania was 110.0, In contrast with 91.0 for the nation. The three great staple grains, wheat, oats and rye, did not ap proach, In any one case, to the profits accruing from corn. Wheat was the nearest, its total value being $50,188,000. This state put 1.399,- 000 acres in wheat and the cultiva tion was high class for the average yield was far ahead of the country's. Oats Comes Next Oats came next In value, with a totai of $30,021,000. Wheat was pro duced to the extent of 24,482,000 bushels, and oats was raised In much more quantity, 41,125,000. The oats, however, is only valued at $30,021,- 000, while wheat was valued at over $50,000,000. Rye cultivating was careful, evi dently, for the average yield per acre was better than the national average. There was only 260,000 acres of rye this year. Its value is astimated at $7,514,000. In summing up Mr. Rose reaches the result that the total acreage un der cultivation In the whole country Is 265,005,600; the total In Pennsyl vania 8,227.600, giving this state 3.105 percentage. In the totaj farm crop value the nation is credited with $8,625,908,000 and Pennsylva nia with $321,667,000, or a percent age of 3..729. Matty states that he has no such intention, that the game ho tried to pitch last season against the Chica go Cubs convinced him that his day as a pitcher is absolutely done. from the observed fact that half the cows give birth to calves every year, while twin calves are not uncom mon. As a rule the bison calf is a very hardy creature. In 1906, Frank Qliver, then Cana dian minister of the interior, ob tained for the Dominion government an option on the 600 head, and they were bought for $200,000. The "round-up" lasted two months, anil was carried out by seventy-five cow boys, and was accomplished with it loss of less than 1 per cent. To day the herd numbers 2,077. Range of 107,000 Acres Although kept within the boundar ies of the reserve the bison can hard ly be said to be in confinement. Their stamping ground covers an area of 107,000 acres—l6s square miles. It is twenty-five miles in an air line,the longest way across. A wire fence eight feet high and seventy-three miles long incloses it. . When the fence was completed it was found that twelve wild deer and one elk had been fenced in. Eigh teen small lakes and a number of streams are within the park. Prairie chickehs, ducks and other game find a resting place here undisturbed by the hunter. The park is truly a buffalo para dise. The grounds bear every evi dence that in other days they have been a favorite haunt of the lords of the plains. Everywhere are outlines of old buffalo trails and wallows. U. S. Now at' Work Aroused by the loss of these buf falo, the United States has establish ed a national bison range in the Flat head Indian reservation in Montana, comprising 12,800 acres, near the towns of Ravalli and Dixon, and it was stocked by the American Bison Society.

That the In ternational League may continue as a six-club league, dropping Montreal and Buffalo, was reported, when the announcement was made that Sam Lichtenheim, owner of tho Montreal club, had given notice that he would not start the season.

Or a bruin chop? Horse meat, perhaps? Or if you wanted a chicken how would you like to pay ten dollars for it? This isn't a warning of what Is going to happen In this country. We haven't enough elephants to go around. It has however reference to what ojice happened in Paris and might again if wo should relax our villgance in conserving and shipping food to the fighting nations leagued with us in this war. Food is a hand to mouth affair with them. Paris has already felt the extreme pinch of hunger. At the time of the siege of Paris by the Germans ir 1870-71, with the victorious armies at the gates, the citizens of Paris suffered real famine. People ate — and were glad to eat —things they had never thought of eating before. Dogs and cats sold at fancy prices. The animals in the zoological gar dens were slaughtered for food. Here are the prices of some meat foods at that time: Elephant meat ....$ 4.00 a pound Pigeons .. 1.10 apiece Rats 35 apiece Ducks 30.00 apiece Rabbits 12.00 apiece Bear meat f 3.00 a pound Horse meat 1.00 a pound I Dog meat '.. .60 a pound Chickens 10.00 apiece In the siege of Paris the problem was limited to one city. Now food is a world problem. At the time of the siege prices re flected the shortage. To-day prices do not reflect the state of the food stores. In Europe these stores are nearer the danger line than prices would suggest. To-day prices are kept down by careful admin'tra tion. Nations are making an effort to extract the last ounce of power from their food supplies by efficient handling and distribution. But if America relaxed her watch ful service for a month Paris would bo In danger of a worse siege than that of 1870. Not only Paris but all France would be endangered. If we did not send them supplies for three months they would be starving. Than the price of food would be a matter, beyond discussion. We should have made them pay the price of defeat I through starvation. ' JANUARY 31, 1915. (VwTHZYLf 3 9 W CORiNEFL. Ban Johnson is peeved according to reports.

B.—An athletic censorship has been established at the University of Pennsylvania, with i Graduate Manager Pickering as the chief censor. By an order of the Ath letic Council, announced yesterday, all athletic _ news must first pass through the hands of the graduute manager before being released. This announcement came to tlio different coaches in the form of a letter from Dean McCLellan, chair man of the Athletic Council, where in he called to the attention of the coaches the rule passed by the coun cil about a year ago which states that no coach or member of anv team representing the University of Pennsylvania is permitted either to write articles for newspapers or to give interviews to any one represent ing a newspaper. This rule does not bar coaches from giving interviews to a news- . papers representative before a game, nor does it bar him from writing in structive articles about the sport of which he is coach. If such coaches or members of teams wish to write for a newspaper, his articles must be first censored by either Dean Mc- Clellan or Major Pickeripg. The ruling has been in effect for some time, but up to date it has never been enforced. It is thought that the council will try to enforce this rule so that Penn may be put on the same plane with Yale and Harvard, where a strict censorship i. maintained on all athletic activi ties and college news In general.
