MARCH 5, 1918. Porr Conn's to Front Porr, of Steelton, took a big jump during the past week by scoring . r >o points against York and Tech. As a result he landed in sixth place. Coleman lost ground through the transaction. Gingrich's average re mained stationary during the last week as he did not play against Steelton and Lebanon. Both games were lost. He is the speediest lad on the White Uosc team. Captain Huston is forging ahead, and has a chance to land third place. Because of his late start, and be cause of the fact that he took part in several games for just one half, he cannot expect to do better than third place. The one big surprise of the "week was the victory credited to Allentown over Central. It was the first time the newcomers won in eight starts. The Lehigh county aggregation should make both and Steelton travel fast to stave oft defeat at Allentown when they visit that city. Tl}e scores to date are as follows: Lansdowne Sees Advance in Address of Hertling; Approves U. S. Principles London, March 5. —In the view of the Marquis of Lansdowne, express eel in a letter to the Daily Tele graph, the recent speech of Chan cellor Von Hertling marks a per ceptible advance in peace discus sions. Lord Lansdowne thinks it all the more remarkable becauso "the speech may be regarded as a kind of a rejoinder to the depressing an nouncement recently made —some of us think rather gratuitously—by the Versailles conference." Lord Lansdowne notes that the German Chancellor regarded the speech made by Viscount Milner on February 21 as more conciliatory than that made recently by Walter Runciman, former president of the board of trade, and Lansdowne seems by implication, to agree with Count Von Hertling. Four points of Von Hertling's speech are selected by Lord Lans downe for comment. First is the Chancellor's wish for an intimate meeting of the belligerents. Lord Lansdowne interprets this to mean a small informal meeting, not of plenipotentiaries but of persons au thorized to discuss confidentially the possibility of a more formal confer ence. lie refers approvingly to the opinion of Foreign Secretary Balfour that it would be unwise to begin ne gotiations unless some preliminary agreement exist# and asks how such a preliminary agreement is to be reached without preliminary conver sations. Lord Lansdowne asks whether any one supposes these questions could be settled while the war is raging, and whether anything more can now be done than to lay down principles upon which the peace congress would deal with these matters. He raises the question whether Improvement can be .made upon the principles which President Wilson has pro posed, which both sides apparently are not indisposed" to accept. No Hammer Throw Event in Penn Carnival List Philadelphia, March s.—Pennsylva nia's relay carnival management has decided to cut out the hammer throw this year. This event is held on Friday and the Army and Navy events that have been listed for that date make the hammer too danger ous an event for so crowded a field as the enclosures will be on that day. It is the plan of the management io have not only the seven Army and Navy events already announced, but also to have three or four exhibi tions of military work by soldiers rnd sailors actually in the service. These events, together with the pentathlon events, the liop-step-and- Jump and (he flfty-slx-pound weight, will take up the entire enclosure, so that It will be impossible to have the hammer throw. • Many spectators and most of the officials will be glad of the omission, for the-event has been getting more and more dangerous each season at the relay carnlvul. At Harvard the hammer throw is conducted on a separate field, it is felt that the carnival has such a multitude of contests that it is best to drop the hammer altogether. This will be done. COLLEGE GAMES ON PENN FIELD Big Meet Will Be Staged the Latter Part of May; Pittsburgh Enters New York, March 5. —The Uni versity of Pennsylvania was awarded the forty-second annual champion ship track and field meet of the In tercollegiate Amateur Athletic As sociation of America. The games will'be held at Franklin Field, Phil adelphia, on Friday and Saturday, May 31 and June 1. Yale, Harvard and Princeton and Haverford are uncertain at this time regarding their ability to be repre sented, though a few athletes might be entered in scattered events. The two Pacific coast universities, Stam ford and California, announced by proxy that they would make entries if conditions would permit, but that the present outlook was not parti cularly favorable. Offlt'crs Elected The association elected the follow ing officers for the ensuing year: President, J. C. Bolton, Harvard; vice-presidents, P. Heald, Swarth more, and D. O. Peterson, Dart mouth; secretary, G. H. Larson, Columbia; treasurer, E. Halsey, New York University; executive commit tee, R. F. Blair, Yale; E. A. Lang* roch, Cornell; C. H. Talbott, Massa chusetts Tech; B. C. Fenner, Penn sylvania; L. M. Butts, Princeton, and E. Sears, Dartmouth. At the subsequent meeting of the newly elected executive committee, B. C. Fenner was elected manager of the 1918 championship meet and Gustavus Kirby referee. Stanford University and the Uni versity of California announced their inability to take part in this year's games, but this will not affect their standing in the association. Protective Legion to Entertain New Members New members of the Capital Pro tective Legion, No. 1108, of the Na tional Protective Legion, will be en tertained at an iilTair to be given in the G. A. It. Hall, Wednesday even ing, March 13. A number of read ings will be given by Miss Uhlie Maugans, a local elocutionist, and an interesting program by local artists is now being prepared. Refresh ments will be served to members of the Legion and to invited guests. j TKMII.KII DHKBATft HAHTI.KV Philadelphia, March 5.—L-sw Tend ler, the Philadelphia lightweight, i defeated Pete yartley, of New York, j here last night, the referee stopping the bout in the fourth round to save Hartley further punishment.

KX LISTS IX BRITISH ARMY One recruit volunteered for serv ice in the Canadian recruiting forces at a meeting held by the British Re cruiting Committee in room A last night. The examining board, consisting of James Reid, James Sanderson and Alexander M. Dick will be Scoutmaster Rev. Harvey from 7.45 to 9 o'clock this evening. More prospective recruits have been 1 asked to appear. Others interested j are urged to communicate with • John Heathcote, room 501, Tele- i graph building. I U. S. SOLDIERS EAGER FOR HONORS * [Continued from First Page.] on these records recommendations will be made by the general com manding the division. The data is being gathered carefully so as to make certain that none will be hon cred specially for simply doing his 1 duty. The entire American expeditionary j ftrce is waiting to see who among j them will be the first to get the i new war medals. A German machine gun in perfect I condition may be sent to Washington ! as tile first American war trophy. j It was among the mass of dropped hastily by the enemy when he retired from his ineffectual at tack on the American lines last week. The weapon, with several belts of ammunition, now is in pos session of intelligence officers. Received Decorations It is now permissible to give the names of the officers and men deco rated yesterday by Premier Clem enceau. They are: Lieutenant Joseph Canby, Brook lyn. N. Y. Lieutenant William Coleman, of Charleston, S. C. Sergeant Patrick Walsh. Sergeant William Norton. Private "Buddy" Pittman, Brook lyn, N. Y. Private Alvin Soiley, St. Louis. The sergeants have been in the Army for many years. Sergeant Walsh formerly lived in Detroit and Sergeant Norton in Arkansas. Both the privates distinguished themselves by running through the barrage laid down by the Germans during the raid and delivering mes sages. Two artillery officers, Captain Holtzendorff, whose home is in Georgia, and Lieutenant Green, will receive the French war cross. They were wounded by shell fire. Lieutenants Canby and Coleman went out into No Man's Land in daylight and each took a German prisoner. Sergeant Norton killed a German lieutenant and two soldiers. He was challenged by the lieuten ant to leave bis dugout and led out his men to fight. Sergt. Wlush took command of a detachment in front of the wire when bis captain was killed and continued the fight. Penn-Harris Hotel Is Drawing Near Completion Kapid progress is being made in the building of tlie Penn-Harris Ho tel. Another carload of bathtubs have arrived, and these are being sot up by the plumbers, on the third floor. Brickwork on the fourth floor wil be completed by Wednesday or Thursday, and work on the brick work, on the fifth floor will then be begun. Kteamfitters have received prac tically all pipe covering, and eleva tor machinery is being installed. Partitions are being set from the third floor up, and permanent iron work and stairs are being made. TfK; tenth floor is now being con creted, and forms for the roof aro being built. - New Basketball Trophy For Which Local Teams Will Battle Thursday Night on Chestnut Street Floor In the above cut is a picture of the P. G. Diener silver basket ball trophy which will be contested for between the Tech and Central fives. This is the first cup ever offered to the winner of the city high school series. Both teams will bend every effort to gain permanent possession of this coveted trophy. Odds on the city series favor the Maroon and Gray quintet. The Tech tossers have been going strong all season and are at present leading the Cen Central Trophies to Be Placed in Case By School Society Trophies won by athletes of Cen-1 tral* High School will in the near future be placed in a handsome case, now being made In Philadelphia. The case is to.be presented to the school by alumni and friends, through the Centralian Society. The presentation will be made the latter part of March, simultaneous with the second annnlversary of the Cen tralians, if delivery can be made by that time. During May of last year, the Cen tralian Society, composed of mem bers of the class of 1918, undertook a campaign to raise funds for the purchase of a trophy case. Alumni and friends of the school were asked to contribute, and hearty response was received, although the fund re ceived a setback because of the se riousness of the war situation. .Money in Hand A. sufficient sum has at last been raised, and the Powelton Cabinet Company, of Philadelphia, has been engaged to construct a handsome case, under the personal direction of Football Training Is Drawback to Soldiers London, March s.—American col lege athletes will find something to think about in this. A prominent Glasgow medical man who has just returned from a professional visit to the front in Franc® says that pro fessional football players are not wanted in the trenches and explains that this is so because their endur ance is less than one-third of that of the ordinary Boldier taken from the desk or the farm or the shop. He attributes this to the fact that they have been so long "turned" to the highest pitch to take part in the game. In addition, their nerves are. so acute that they cannot stand gun fire as can the ordinary man. The doctor says "It is like linking up a race horse with an artillery team. COUNCIL FINDS SOLUTION TO ASHES [Goniintictl from First I'agc.] make complete plans for the clean up. Commissioner Lynch of the highway department, volunteered to furnish the forces to clean up all ashes which have been dumped in streets. It was decided that owners of pri vate lots on which refuse had been dumped would be held responsible and should see that no more waste was emptied there. When Commissioner Hassler called Council's attention to the bids which have not been acted upon, Mayor Keister asked what plans had been made for the general clean-up which had been decided upon. Commis sioner Lynch offered the services of tho highway forces to clean up the streets, but told tho commission ers he would probably be compelled to ask for more funds at the end of the year because of the expense of the work. He also urged the coun cilmen to make a general clean up and then notify the householders for the removal of waste themselves. The plan was not favored by the other members. To Hire Trucks Commissioner Burtnett then sub mitted a proposal that tho city could hire trucks at S2O each a day, and six men at $3 each for each truck; or a cost of $l9O a day; $4,750 for twenty-five days or one month. lie suggeßfed a clean-up now, another in April and again In October, No vember and December. A general discussion followed. Commissioner Hassler expressing doubt as to the work which could be accomplished by a truck force. Just as an attempt was made to ad journ Mayor Keister intervened and submitted his motion. City Treasurer C. E. Weber sub mitted his monthly report to-day, showing a balance im the treasury of $199,465.88. Receipts last month were $32,004.94. and expenditures $52,013.72. Ordinance Passed An ordinance was introduced au thorizing Commissioner Lynch to purchase a new automobile for his department at a cost of $2,100; changing salary of chief Inspector of garbage bureau from $2,000 to SI,BOO. Ordinances which wore passed finally provide for the following: Purchnse of a triple graS l * cutter for park department; repairs to sanitary pump of water department; purchase of 4,00# tons of river coal for water department, and transfer of $5,000 for payment for Installation of elec tric pump. tral Pennsylvania Scholastic basket ball league. On Saturday evening the Central team lost to the tail end Allentown club, causing the spirits of the Blue and Gray folio v. .ts to fall somewhat. The first game be tween the city high school teams is scheduled for Thursday night. Both squads are being primed for the crucial contest of the season. This year will be the last that basketball teams representing the two schools will meet. one of the Centralians. It is planned ' that the case will be presented to 1 the school during the week of the Centralians' second birthday, which i comes on March 28. Many of tho students at Central ! and other interested persons have • never seen a complete collection of t the beautiful trophies won by Cen ■! tral High warriors, owing to the ' 1 fact that a place has never been pro vided for their exhibition. Thus a trophy case is probably the most • useful gift that could be given to the school. For New Building i; The case is being finished to match i | the woodwork planned for the new s j high school building which llarris ■ burg is to build. The Centralian ■ committee in charge of the Trophy Case Fund is composed of Noble Frank, Richard ' Mount, Thomas 1 Caldwell, and Seymour Nissley, ail : active members of the Senior class. 1 Prof. Howard G. Dibble has been ! heartily In accord with the plans ' from the start.

What the Blue and Gray does this week determines the standing in the league. A victory over Tech 011 Thursday and one over Lebanon Saturday will greatly improve Cen tral's chances in the pennant race. So far this year's team has made a creditable showing and is in fourth place in the Central Pennsylvania League. Allentown was the first game played this year and resulted in a victory for Central. Lebanon was Central's next opponent and Central won that game.. On January 25 the first game of the season was lost to Steelton at Steelton, on Feb ruary 8, York defeated. Central in a close game.

That night Central and Tech will meet for the last tin<e on a basketball floor. Local Shooters Ready to Announce Lancaster Plans Plans for the big livebird shoot at Lancaster on March 15 will be an nounced to-morrov.

REILY SCHOOL GOES OVER TIIE TOP FOR RED CROSS Pupils in the Reily school build ing have gone over the top in the enrollment of Red Cross members. Miss May Tittle is the principal. Sometime ago when the drive was started, and memberships were plac ed at 25 cents each, the percentage reached was 70.3. This was not satisfactory. A committee of girls got busy. There were pupils who could not raise the necessary membership fee. These busy workers gathered up old papers, rags, iron, etc., and sold it. They made fancy work, and conducted a general business. As a result of this special effort, the Reily school has gone away over the top and scored a percentage of 105, every member being enrolled, and some doubling their contribu tions. LUTHERAN WAR FUND IS GROWING STESVDILY The prospects that the Lutheran drive for the war fund campaign had not only reached $7,000, but passed that mark were pretty definite this morning when the late returns begun to come in to Treasurer John F. Dapp. That amount had beon re ceived aRt night, but, Mr. Dapp said that he expected considerable more by evening. The drive took in the whole country, every church being canvassed. The state of Pennsylva nia was called on for $100;000 out of a total of $1,000,000 for the coun try. Dr. Dapp has information now that subscriptions in Pennsyl vania already reach twice the sum asked for. The United States has gone far beyond the mark set.
