TECH HIGH TOSSERS ARE READY TO PLAY YORK LEAGUE FIVE-BIG GAMES TONIGHT
TOM TOSSERS TO
TACKLE YORKHtS
Big Scholastic Game Is on
Tonight's Schedule; Ma
roons Need Victory
The Technical High school basket
ball squad was put through its final
drill last evening In preparation for
Its contest this evening at Chestnut
Street Auditorium with the York
High School team, leaders In the
Central Pennsylvania League. 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.
May Use Reserve Material
Several members of the team
know that they are being hard
pressed for their positions by re
serve material, and will show their
best in the contest to-night. In ad
dition to the dancing that will wind
up the evening's amusement, the
Seniors and Juniors will meet in a
friendly game.
Saturday afternoon Tech will meet
the Academy tossers on the Hassett
lioor, with the game starting at 2
o'clock. The Maroon players know
that they will be up against a hard
preposition because of the fast pace
the up-river players have been set
ting. The Tech management is try
ing to arrange the game with Read
ing for Tuesday night on the Chest
nut street floor. The game was orig
inally set for Wednesday night, but
it was thought iat it would be a
better attraction for Tuesday night.
The matter will be settled within a
day.

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."

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.

Pennsy, Freight Agent
Shows in Report
William J. 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. The farmers

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.
Surprise Party Held at

A delightful surprise party was
held in honor of Hyman Abrams at

to reports.
Central will have to go some to

game, according to statements to-day.

Probable Lineup
Coach Wallower will most likely
start Wright and Rodgers at for
ward. Wright has played a good
gamo against the scrubs this year
and ought to play a better game than
he did against Lebanon or Steelton.
Rodgers is improving rapidjy both
ir. his shooting and in his passing.
Frank is plugging 'away at the foul
liije and hopes to better his records
of the previous games this year.
Captain Wolfe and Fields are play.ing
their usual game as guards but are
expected to tighten up Central de
fense this week.
Irwin May Be Head
of International League
New York, Jan. 31. 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.
The six-club league suggestion had
if that the Richmond franchise would
be transferred to Jersey City, in the
interest of economy in Traveling. The
statement was also made that Arthur
Irwin, now with tho Toronto club, is
a candidate for president, in case Ed
ward G. Barrow cannot be induced to
remain.
Walter McCredie, manager of the
Salt Lake City team of the Pacific
Coast League, is doing well in his
hunt for ball players through" the
Middle West. He has obtained Harry
\Yolter, of the Cubs, for his outfield,
and is angling for Leslie, a Cub re
cruit first baseman. 11l Cleveland he
got Penney, a pitcher-with Portland
last year, and A 1 Gould, also a twifler.
Gould was sent to Toronto, but if the
International fails to resume McCredie
has first choice.
Elephant Steak or Bear
Chop Brought Fancy
Prices in Famine Time
How would you like an elephant
steak? 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.

Penn Has Censorship
on All Sport Publicity
Manager Pickering Chief
Philadelphia, Jan. 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.
