High School basketball quintet will make a trip to the West ern part of the state this week, playing at Tyrone, Friday night, and Altoona Saturday night. The high school quintets at those two places will be the opponents of the Maroon. The team coached by C. W. Mil ler has the remarkable record of 12 victories out of 14 games played. A game was dropped at Lebanon by two points, and another by a five point margin at Reading. The twelve other games have been con quests. This is by far the best rec ord made by a Tech basketball team. With most of the squad members of the Freshman and Sophomore class es, Tech is assured of good teams for several years to come. What the squad needs now, is a larger num ber of candidates so that the coach can continue to build his squad from first year timber. Regulars on Trip Tech will take its best material along on the Western trip, as the ( entral Penn leaders aro anxious to land two more games away from home. Tyrone plays on a small floor and earlier in the season won from Lewistown, a team that defeated Central the initial contest for the Blue and Gray. Tech should be able to win in spite of the fact thtt fr.J? ame ' s P' a J' e( l away from home. The Saturday night game with Al toona, should be a hard one, as the Mountaineers won the Mountain Division championship last season. a remar kable team. One of its feats was to win five straight games away from home, on success ive nights. The team made a trip through West Virginia and Maryland Ihe Altoona lads will doubtless bo out for revenge for the 117 to 0 lac. ing handed to them last fall over on the Island, by the Tech team. Filial Game in League will see the final games in the league, unless a post-season of games is necessary. Tech will *l av ? ,1"° hard games, playing at lork Tuesday night, and winding up the season Friday night with the re turn game with Central. Tech will ha\e to win both of these games in order to land on top, as Lebanon is not likely to lose any games, as both contests will be on the Lebanon court. If Tech is able to win both of its games with York and Central, it will have a legue record of 10 vic tories and two defeats. Lebanon will be one game to the rear, with nine victories out of the 12 g ame series. The return same with the Academy will likely not be played as the Aca demy manager cannot find a con venient date, >As Tech defeated the Academy tossers on their own floor, honors will have to be conceded to the Maroon, on the strength of that one victory. Manager Beard, Facul ty Director Grubb, Coach Miller and a squad of eight men will take the trip to Tyrone and Altoona, leaving Harrisburg Friday afternoon.

READYTOCALL YORK TRACK MEN Coach Bilheimer is Not Jubi lating Over Prospective Team; Material is Short York, March 13.—A call will be issued for track candidates at the York High school this week by Ath letic Coach Clayton K. Bilheimer. Indications are that the squad will bo one of the largest in recent years in view of the fact that an entirely new team will have to bo formed to compete in the various meets in which the institdtion is expected to participate this spring. While there is no nucleus on hand around which to build the team. Coach Bilheimer is confident that he will succeed in selecting a squad of sprinters who will be able to com pete with all rivals. After the close °. f basketball season, all atten tion will be centered on track sports. Although the material on hand is green, there are said to be some fast aspirants for the team. Preliminary Work The candidates will confine their preliminary training to running over the pathway encircling Penn com mon. This will be essential for the sprinters to develop endurance and improve their wind. After two weeks of this work, the men will be taken in the yard adjoining the school and will be given short sprints in order to bring out speed and get the men off the mark. Trials for positions on the mile relay team will probably not be held until about two weeks before the Uuniversity of Pennsylvania field and track carnival, the first meet in which the local institution will be represented. The Pennsylvania meet will be held on Franklin field, Fri day and Saturday, April 26 and 27. The race in which York is entered will be held on the latter day. It is quite likely that five men will be taken by Coach Bilheimer to the Quaker City.

MARCH 13, 1918 WELLY IT w CORrNER^ Dempsey wants to fight Fulton at Atlantic City. He would bo sure of having lots of sand. Teoh tossers have little to (ear in the remaining scholastic league games. This bunch of cagers is not of the calibre that gets frightened, even if odds are against them. The Maroon is likely to be a big winner for sometime to come. Rather humorous to read about baseball players being drafted. That system has been in vogue for many years. There is a difference, now, however. A player cannot balk on an army draft. Some newspapers have been printing a picture showing Jess Mil liard. his wife, and the champion's manager. The wife is seated on a spotted horse. The latter is a beauty and was formerly owned by J. D. Brown, a local horseman. Thus Harrisburg has some interest in Wil liard. Each time the Harrisburg Sports men's Association moves, the local shooters get nearer the mountains. If Harrisburg keeps on growing, it will not be long until a trapshooting Held is located at rioekville. The mountains might prove advantage ous in keeping away bushwackers, who are a terror at live bird shoots.

Walter Johnson will have to sign his 1918 contract to play with the Nationals within the next ten days, or not get a trip South this year. Manager Griffiths has announced that players whose signed contracts are not in before the dates set for reporting for spring work at. Augusta will not be taken South.

John L., while seated at a table in a hotel grill with some newspapermen and telegraphers, called for a high tumbler, such as was used in those time in serving liberal portions of beer.
