TECH HUMBLES STEELTON IN LEAGUE GAME-READING TUMBLES CENTRAL TOSSERS
Tech's Team Trounces
Steelton High Five;
Allow One Field Goal
•
The Tech High schqpl basketball
team's steamroller crushed the Steel
ton High school team at Chestnut
Street Auditorium last evening by a
48 to 23 score. So decisive wa% the
victory that the Steelton crew was
able to score but one field goal. This
came in the first half, after fourteen
minutes of play and was scored by
Center Morrett. Throughout the sec
ond half the Blue and White play
ers did not register ono single field
goal, and had but few shots for the
basket.
It was only George Porr's work
from the 15-foot mark that gave the
visitors any kind of a score. This
lad rolled in 14 out of 15 fouls in the
first half. In the finl period he
made 7 out of 14 trials. His even
ing's work totaled 21 out 0f,29.
Carl Beck's brilliant playing was
the feature of the evening. Pitted
against Captain Coleman, of Steel
ton, the local guard held the Blue
md White field goal, while he him
self netted seven two-pointers. He
tossed them in from all angles, and
broke up many of the visitors'
passes.
Captain Huston was again on the
job and fattened his average by
imassing 24 points. He scored four
field goals, all in the first period, and
collected 16 out of 18 fouls. As a
result he will jump closer to flrst
place in the individual averages.

Mack's New Shortstop Is
Picked as Season's Find
Philadelphia, March 2. Connie
i Mack, it is believed, has secured a
star shortstop in Morris Shannon,
who was with the Baltimores last
year.
Shannon and his twin brother were
tried by the Boston Braves several
years ago. but Stallings turned them
adrift. Morris Shannon made rapid
progress under Jack Dunn, who
strongly recommended him to the
veteran manager of the Athletics.
Dunn predicts that within a year
this 20-year-old colt will be one of
the best shortstops in the American
Deague.

LEO HARRIS
Lee Harris, former Central High
coach, who made good in football at
Carlisle Indian school last fall, has
been made baseball coach. He wili
start his new duties next week.
With a pitcher hailed as the big
gest find in years, 75 candidates bat
tling for positions and shaping up
well after six weeks of special work
in the big gymnasium cage, the Car
lisle Indian school diamond pros- |
pects for the 1918 baseball season
are becoming brighter daily. Offl
ciais look for the redmen to come
back to the spring pastime with the
vigor displayed in football, and with
Coach Harris as the diamond coach.
Veteran Pitcher
John Davis, a student at the
school for three years will be de
pended upon for the bulk of the
mound work. Davis has a consider
able local reputation, having played
in the old Carlisle Industrial League
and with the informal team which
has represented the school for two
years. Malino, who pitchel last
year, will also be seen, in action. He
is a port side twirler, while Davis
is a right hander, the latter being
extremely versitile, being able to
catch or play any "position.
To Pick Team Later
William Marks, another veteran
will be Davis' battery mate. The
personnel of the other posts has not
been decided upon as yet, as the
first weeding out will only be begun
this week. Coach Harris is now in
full charge. Additional games are
being scheduled.
The basketball season at the In- !
dian School is on the wane. There
are five contests still on the list, all
being games away from home and a
contest with the "Usaacs" next Sat
urday being the most important.
New Slogan of
Overland Car
The title, "the thrift car," as ap
plied to the Overland automobile
has been the topic for widespread
discussion since the automobile
shows.
"The fact is," said John N. Willys,
president of Willys-Overland, Inc.,
recently, commenting upon the apt
ness of the term, "that time and
money are just about one and the
same thing." To save time is to
make more money. To waste it is
to lose both money and opportun
ity.
"The automobile is helping to
turn spare moments into money,
nhorten miles and conserve time.
For to be thrifty with time is an
absolute essential to success.
"Thrift implies not merely saving,
but investing your savings in hours
or dollars, with wisdom. The au
tomobile has been the greatest aid
we have ever had in capitalizing
time and coining this common pos
session into cash.
"Naturally the man who can ac
complish more in a given time with
the aid of an automobile, reaps the
greatest reward. This is equally true
of the farmer, the salesman, the
doctor, the plumber, the contractor
and people of all trades and -pofes
sions whose number is legion.
"Tremendous business activities,
heretofore unrecognized in their
scope and magnitude, have come to
depend to an extraordinary degree
upon the passenger car as a means
of needful transportation. All man
ner of construction work, such as
contracting and building, the erec
tion of public works, extension of
highways, expansion of rail and oth
er shipping facilities, and so on,
have come to require a vast number
of automobiles for the convenience
of executives, inspectors, engineers,
estimates, paymaster, and others.
Five chiefs, captain of police, super
intendents, public executives, physi
cians, clergymen, lawyers and mem
bers of all other professions find
their cars a needful element in their
daily work.
"We are forced to the conclusion
that the passenger car Is a public
utility of the very first order and
necessity. Therefore, if our great
nation is to continue its program and
carry the present war to a success
ful end, the manufacture of passeng
er automobiles must continue to such
a idegree as will not interfere with
the efficiency of those whose efforts
are vital to our national efficiency."

V
Pen and Ink a Factor
in Winning the War
"While we *ll contend that "food,
will win the war," we must not
forget the importance of "the print
ed page."
E. S. Babcox, advertising manager
for the Firestone Tire and Rubber
Company, and V. P. of the Associa
tion of National Advertisers, who is
serving the government on the ad
vertising division of the committee
on public information, points out the
fact that Germany has long ago
realized the power of this influence
and is teaching the world some rare
uses of the press invented by
One of her own citizens, John Gu
tenberg, in 1446.
Ever since that time, Germany
has been carrying on an "insidious
propoganda." The success of it is
particularly noted in developments in
Russia, which has been subdued not
with bullets of steel, but with, pa
per bullets. Again we note it in the
Italian drive, where temporary Ger
man success was duo to the issuing
of a counterfeit of a popular Ital
ian paper.
"Our real need to-day is for a
broad national campaign to tell our
people about the war, Its causes,
our conditions and prospects, so that
there may be a unity of purpose and
understanding to support and give
force to those at the front."
It is to this end that Mr. Babcox
and his associates are bending all
their energies, that the war may be
won—soon.

For Game
BaSektball fans are planning a
big reception for Ike McCord when
he visits Hagerstown next week. He
will take the Independents to that
place March 7, for a game with the

the following:
"As a suitable finale to the most
triumphant season yet enjoyed by
the Alsatia basketball five, as re
gards the victories achieved, it has
been arranged to have the strong
Harrisburg Independents play at
the Armory on Thursday, March 7.
This is one of the strongest teams
available and is a professional team
with a record of wins over many
fast teams of the vicinity of Harris
burg. The club has also done con
siderable traveling over the state
and has been very successful.
Trump Card
"The trump card on the five as re
gards the Harrisburgians will be Ike
McCord, Wombat shortstop. Ike is
a real drawing card due to his hav
ing played ball here and he will
jump center for the Independents.
The lineup will be:
Forwards: N. Ford and Wallower.
Center: IKE McCORD.
Guards: G. Ford and McConnell.
Strengthen Locals
It is intended to strengthen the lo
cal quint and with the addition of
the men contemplated the game will
be an unusually fast one and one of
a gilt edge calibre. It will be a game
with every man a star. Downs from
Frederick and Barnhart of the Fred
erick ball club of last year will be
added to the teams. Downs is the
mute that has played here several
times with the Frederick Y and the

As Big As Your Plato
Somewhere, away from the throb of the city
there's a farm house, quietly nestling in the
sunshine, among protecting hills—a place where
you're always welcome. Remember the yard,
barn, the chickens—the warmth of the stalls
during milking? Recall the hunt for eggs?
Can't you smell the liay in the mow? Can't
you hear the welcoming bark of the dogs?
And the kitchen with the loaves of home-bakedi
bread—jars and jars of jelly and jam. What
wouldn't a man give to get back there again?,
