' Maroons Aro Pacemakers The Maroon tossers have been go ing at top speed, and hope to repeat their performance of last . winter when they returned from Steelton with a victory. The Steelton lads j are hard to defeat on their own I floor because of the size. Yet Tech i has done it before and hopes to re ) peat with every man playing a fast ®me.

The only partial list re ceived was that containing the thirty names announced yesterday. The Navy Department to-day an nounced that latest reports of the survivors of the Tuscania show 7ii offleefs and 1,274 enlisted men of the Army Have been landed at Bun crana, Ireland; that 1(! officers and seamen of the crew have lieen landed at Larne, Ireland, and that approx imately 57i> oflicers and enlisted men of the. Array have been landed at Tslay, Scotland. "In addition," the department an nouncement continues, "approxi mately 9a soldiers and members of the crew are reported to be in hos pital.'-. .Six members of the crew and 72 soldiers are in the military hos pital at Londonderry. Ten soldiers are in LoUffh Foyle Hospital at Lon donderry, and nine soldiers and two of the crew are in the county in tirmar.v at Londonderry." War Department Puzzled War Department officials are un able to account for the statement made in news dispatches that blank identification tags were found oh the bodies of forty-four American sol diers washed ashore. Kvcu if I lie men liad not been definitely assigned to an organiza tion, the Army regulations require that the tag licnr on one side the full name of the wearer. The organization commander Is liohl responsible by military regula tions for the completion of these tags. Physical difficulties in preparing lists of survivors of the Tuscania, it was said to-day at the War Depart ment, may greatly deljiv publication of an accurate list of the lost. The survivors have been landed at va rious points. Until oflicers manage j to get in touch with them and check ! them off against the muster rolls or j until a complete list of the names | of survivors can be assembled at j some central point and checked \ against the ship's papers, there is 1 no way to determine who are miss- ' ing, although the number may be I known/ There is also a possibility that ad- j ditional survivors may have been I picked up by patrol boats and will '■ be brought in later when the craft I come off duty. The list of lifeboats | also must be checked up as one or two might have made shore unaided. News dispatches show some of the I lifeboats were destroyed by the ex- I plosion of the torpedo, so careful ex amination of the experiences of sur vivors is necessary to find out how many got away from the ship safely. Women Went Down Hope The only two women 'on board, the correspondent's account says, Mrs. Collins and Mrs. Parsons, went down a rope into a lifeboat. The former said that when their boat left the Tuscania many of the troops had been thrown out in the lowering of the next boat. "Wo were immediately surround ed by men in the icy water wearing, life belts," sho said. "We had only two men -4ji our boat who could manage the oars. They did their best and as wo came across a swimming or floating man we gathered him into the boat. • Soon the boat was very full. f We witnessed many dis tressing scenes. Eventually we got jon board a destroyer. I don't re j member a harder bit of work." A young officer, answering a ques tion as to what the soldiers did while waiting for the destroyers aft er the tjrst excitement was over said: • Lounged aiul Smkcd "Oh, we soon steadied down, lounged about and Stmoked, but we didn't venture below to gather up i our belongings for fear the ship would suddenly capsize. We talked about the misfortune of crossing the Atlantic only to be caught in the last lap. We cheered the first de stroyer which came alongside and its men cheered us. Their work was 1 magnificent, and only when they j saw they eOuld save no more life ! the destroyer left the scene. It was thought well to make for different ports, and here 1 am among people who have overwhelmed us with kind ness." Behavior of Men Under Trying Circumstances Is Told by American Officer I I,ondon, Feb. 8. —How American | soldiers behaved when they found hobby for some time now has been 1 to not only arrange matches for j Montana, but also to occupy his cor ner 011 tho night the contest is stag-1 ed for the purpose of both encour-j aging and advising his "boy" but also with a view to satisfying his love for tho game. Ozar Has Hard Opponent Montana comes here with the rep utation of being one of the rough est grapplers in the business and Ozar appreciates the fact that he has his work cut out for him if he would triumph over the westerner. ■ Fol lowing the match Fairbanks and Montana will leave 011 a trip across the country bound for Hollywood, California, where the former will stage a new film play in which he will star with Montana as one of the characfcrs. that the boats assigned to them on the Tuscania had been smashed is told N by an American officer who landed at an Irish port. Tho officer said his men behaved as he had ex pected them to. Two full boat loads under his command assembled on the dock when tho torpedo struck the liner and marched to the boats assigned them. Arriving at their sta-' tion they found both boats had been destroyed. ".The men liped up on deck at at tention," said the officer, "and all preserved, the utmost composure un til a destroyer came alongside and effected the transfer from the grad ually sinking deck. ' Wt stood alongside until the ljist man was taken off, who was the commander of the ship. The patients in the ship's hospital, including sev eral cases of scarletina and fever, were among the first taken off." That the sinking of the liner Tus cania will stimulate the United States to even greater resolve and sterner efforts or. behalf of the fight for deniocr&cy is the opinion generally expressed in editorial comment in the morning newspapers. Satisfaction is expressed and con gratu'ations are extended that this, the first disaster to many American transports, shows the emptiness of the German boast that the sub marines would render the transpor tation of the American armies im possible and would intimidate the Americans. Nevertheless, it is de clared, it is too much to hope that tho Tiue.ania will J>e the last victim, though the conviction is expressed that tiie American nation realizes fully the difficulties ahead and is pre pared to meet them. Some of the editorials say the sub marine menace has not yet been mastered and remains a grave prob lem to which the allies, especially Great Britain and the United States, must rievote all their energies In view the Atlantic route open. ♦ The Daily Telegraph says: "The Americans have defied the pirates all these months and we are convinced that the sorrow and anger which the loss of life on the Tus cania will occasion will only steel the hearts of the people to perse vere and deepen their resolve. There is nothing in the incident to occa sion alarm, but it constitutes a warning to us and the Americans to concentrate on the defense of the Atlantir." "A thousand men will step for ward to till the gap left vacant by each of the dead," says the Daily Mail. "Americans are looking the task straight in the face, and dan gers and difficulties—even disaster —will only serve to stimulate and steady them." The daily Express declares that the U-boat that sank the Tuscania did a bad day's work for Germany. It adds: "America will shed proud tears, then her heart will harden. 'Re member the Tuscania!' will be the irresistible call to the colors. It will also be the battle cry of vic tory." rASSBXGKH DEPARTMENT # MIDDLE DIVIKIOII Engineers up: F. P. Schreck, Sam.

There is a difference in baseball stars. The result of the Teeh-Steelton game will be watched closely to night. It is the first game with "Red Huston as the leader for the Maroons. To date Huston has taken part In three .League contests, and hffs totaled 36 points. In two of the games he participated only half of the contest. The Read ing game was his first full tilt. Seven ' field goals and 22 fouls is what he has done for the Maroon. He plays a forward position, and is quite an expert as a dribbler. Foul shooting is his specialty. In the York game he shot 13 out of 15 trials. Against Reading he rung in 10 out of 11. One of these fouls was later dis counted from the Tech total, be cause of an erroneous ruling. GOVERNOR HAS REDISTRICTING IDEA FOR STATE Has Been Asking Significant Quc&tions of Visitors .to the Capitol Lately The question of whether the situa atlon in regard to congressional and legislative apportionment is of seri ous enough character to warrant the call of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania in special session has been under consideration by Gover nor Martin G. Brumbaugh and it is understood that he has asked the opinion o,f a number of the men who have been his visitors on the sub ject. The present apportionment dates from the special session of 1906. When the dry amendment was put up to the states early in the winter the Governor considered a special session, but figured out that the men now holding the right to scats would not ratify it. Now he has learned that the opponents of the amend ment have been setting up candidates right and left and reapportionment, which is called for every ten years, would enable some changes to be made which the Governor seems to "figure would help get votes for the rtrys. The Executive has declined to make any statement, saying that all he has to communicate now he is putting injo his speeches, but that he may have more to say later on. More, or less surprise was mani fested at the Capitol at the idea of a special session for reapportionment as it would cost a quarter of a mil lion dollars and as the next census, on which apportionment is based, is due in two years, there were doubts expressed as to how late efforts to make up for' failure to act in the last four sessions would be taken. i MORAN-FITI/TON BOUT OFF Denver, Feb.
