The big star was "Red" Huston. This lad broke int& the game for Tech, and played the first half. During this 20 minutes he scored three field goals, and netted 13 out of 15 fouls. This is the first real exhibition of foul shooting displayed by a Maroon player this season. In the becond half he was displaced by "Buddlo" Lingle. At thf; toss-up of the ball, Mc laughlin fouled, and Huston scored the first point for Tech; he repeated the performance shortly after, mak ing the count two to nothing Hus ton missed his third trial. Gingrich missed his first chance from the 15- foot mark. Huston brought the to tal to four with two more fouls. Gingrich tallied the first point for \ork.

Gingrich tied the score. .York Takes Lead York went ahead for the last time ] during the game, when Gingrich I scored another one pointer. "Dutch" I Miller made the first of his pair of I goals and gave Tech the lead at -9 to S and from then on the Maroon I players were never headed. The : score at half time was 23 to 13. The York players showed an In-1 I, clination to run with the ball for . which frequent penalties were justlv called by Referee McCOnnell. Much hacking was also in evidence. Added to this was a tendency on the part of Center McLaughlin to do consid ■ erahle "crabbing." The visitors had not lost a contest to date and were hard losers. At the beginning of the second period, Coach Miller sent in I Kohlman for Smith, and Lingle for | Huston. The second combination landed more baskets than the first one, but | there was little difference in the; choice. Tlje entire seven players! j who took part for Tech showed I I championship form, that should | | give them plenty of chance to copi the honors.

ACADEMY WORKS FOR TECH GAME Contest Scheduled For Cathe dral Hall To-morrow; Strong Lineup Harrisburg Academy cagers held regular light practice this afternoon in preparation for the game with Tech High to-morrow. The quintet Is in good condition for this game and have been holding regular prac tice all week except last Monday. The regular lineup will be in the game. Captain Wren and DeVore will hold down the forward berths as usual, W'eiglo will jump center and Miller and Newlln will do the guard ing. Wren has been showing speed all season and is a dangerous man near the basket. DeVore has led the up-town quintet in scoring though he does not shoot the fouls. Former Central Star Weigle is a former Central High student and is graduated from the Central scrubs of last year. He is a'.so a high scorer and has been doing much of the foul tossing. Mil ler Is a steady guard and sticks close to his man. Though he has not been a high scorer he usually holds his man with a lower tally thun himself. Xewlin Is Fast Newlln has been showing a fast pace recently and is improving with each game. He starred last Satur day when the Academy squad went to York and will probably do the foul tossing at the Tech game. Stone, YofTee or Stewart may also get in the contest. The game will be run off Satur day. at Cathedral Hall where the Academy holds its home game. So far the Blue and Gold quintet has had two victories and one defeat. They are hopeful of making a good showing to-morrow and will have plenty of support from their school. The probable lineups will be: Tech. Academy. Mjller, f. Wren, f. Huston, f. Devore, f.

W W l FEBRUARY 1, 1913 4 WELLY If I 9 W CORiN BR-^ A victory for Steelton to-night at Lebanon will add interest to the present lnterscholastic basketball race. Steelton tossers have been adding laurels each week. It will be a big night when they play in this city. Both Central and Tech play Steelton High here. The announcement from Bethle hem that there will be no Interplant League series this year was not pleasant news to Steelton baseball fans. That town was picked to fur nish the baseball interest this year. It is hoped the plans to have an interdepartment series will be suc cessful. Harrisburg is certainly to have sojne Independent team, according to reports. Now that there is no likelihood of any Steelton League similar to that of last season, stronger efforts will be made to make the local team one that will advertise Harrisburg and make a record of victories. The local Tarsus Ave met their Waterloo at Wiconisco last night, losing to the tossers of that place by a score of 26 to 14. Richards was a big star for Tarsus. This boy is going a pace. The Hassett five added another victory last night, winning over the Dickinson Law School five. The Carlisle tossers made a great fight, but they had some fighters to con tend with. Eddie Plank is at his home in Gettysburg awaiting the arrival of New York American representatives who want him to sign a contract. Plank says he means what he made public a short time ago and Is out of the game for good. Would Abandon Regatta; Penn Makes Suggestion Ithaca, Feb. 1. —The suggestion comes from the University of Penn sylvania that the Poughkeepsie re gatta should be abandoned for all time, and in its place dual regftttas between the colleges which have formerly participated in the inter -1 collegiate event on the Hudson should be substituted. This radical move is advocated in the latest is sue ol' Old Penn. the official organ of the Quaker institution. It. is pointed out that the war has made it possible to bring about many needed reforms in various branches of college athletics, and that action should be taken at this time to do away with the Poughkeepsie classic because of its great expense to col leges, and because it is usually held after commencement time. In place of the big regatta the plan is put forth to hold a week of dual regattas on Lake Carnegie or on the Schuylkill river, or ftny other suitable course during term time. It is also suggested that the course for all the races be cut down to two miles. An important meeting of the Board of Governors of the Motor Club of Harrisburg will be held to night at club headquarters, 109 South Second street. After the meet ing everybody will go to the show. The Pittsburgh Hot Stove League is going to give Honus Wagner his annual birthday banquet on Wed nesday, February 27. Wagner will be 4 4 years old on February 24, but as that day falls on Sunday the jollification will be held three days later.

Manager Christy Mathewson, of the Reds, has ordered all . his play ers to be vaccinated at once, so that they will have no difficulty on this point in training at Camp Sheridan, Ala., next spring. Vaccination at this time will eliminate sore arms during the training period, Matty believes. Ike McCord, Wombat shortstop, is now cavorting in basketball togs in Harrisburg. He is playing with a five called the Harrisburg Inde pendents and is center for the team. The team has a good record and has written here to land a game with the Alsatia. The guarantee they ask is too great, however, and despite the fact that they would draw well with Ike in the lineup, it is felt the game would be a logs." —-Hagerstown Mall.
