In a special shoot he killed 23 out of 25 birds. G. Wel lington Hepler was second with 22. It was a trying day for the sports men, with a sharp, cold wind handi capping them, but with all the ad verse conditions the scoring was good. It was a fifty-bird shoot, with the first twenty-five figuring in the cup contest. Dinger showed fine form in the race, picking his birds consistently until near the close. There were ten eligible for the cup. Hepler Is Big Winner Hepler won the 50-bird race kill ing 45. The entry list was small, due to train delays caused by the Elizabethtown landslide. A. P.

Billy Miske Puts in Bid; Ready to Meet Fulton or Any Other Big Fellow New York, March 16—Billy Miske of St. Paul, a fighter of toughness, wants to know where he gets off in i this Willard-Fulton-Dempsey thing. In a letter. Pearl Smith, manager 1 of Bill, wants to know why Bill' isn't given some consideration. "Although Fulton and Dempsey; are first class men, I can't see why you overlook Billy Miske. who has defeated Fulton twice," remarks Smith under a letterhead which pro claims Billy the world's heavy weight champion. "In seventy bouts," Smith ambles on, "Miske has never been .knocked off his feet, whereas Dempsey and Fulton have been knocked out. I have been trying to get Dempsey to meet Miske. but to date have not succeeded. "Bill may be lighter than these other two. but he, like Bob Fitz slmmons, has the goods. I think Miske is a second Bob in both build and fighting qualities." Smith is the first man recalled just at present who has designated Billy Miske as tile world's heavy weight champion. He claimed it through Miske's victory over Fulton in St. Paul. The bout was ten rounds, went limit and no decision was given As a matter of fact, Fulton and Miske should settle their trou bles ar. i Jack Dempsey really should eliminate Miske before setting him self up as the equal of Fulton. A Mlske-Dempsey bout would be worth a big gate. Brunner Answers Draft; Big Loss to Lehigh Team Easton. Pa., March 16— Leonard A. Brunner, who is regarded as one of the greatest college athletes in the country, has been accepted by! the Easton Draft Board for general military service.

L__-____________ o*c o Central Is M' inner in Sensational Game; Hands Steelton Jolt Central High basketball five last night defeated {Steelton. score 40 to 30. Central outplayed their oppo nents in every department. They scored twelve two-pointers to gteel ton's nine. The game was fa# and interesting. This evens up the series between the two schools. Earlier in the sea son Steelton beat Central at Felton Hall. This defeat and the fact that it was the last time that Central ant Steelton will clash athletically, made the Central lads want to win. Change in Lineup Probably the biggest sensation of the night was the lineup of the Cen tral team. Coach Wallower sent Art Fields to a forward position and put Bill Rodgers in Fields' place at guard. Fields is considered by most critics to be one of the best if not the best in the league. His move from guard to forward created a lot of comment Fields was a trifle unfamiliar in his new position, but In spite of this he played an excel lent game. He caged four two-pointers ar.d was all over the floor. The whole Central team played good games. The defensive work of Captain Wolfe, and Rodgers is es pecially commendable. Wolfe was right on the Job every minute of the game and played one of the best games of his career. Rodgers in Evidence Bill Rodgers who had the task of stopping Mouse Coleman, the speedy captain of the Steelton team played his part to perfection. Bill held the Steelton captain scoreless. Rodgers is a guard that plays his man all the time and leaves the scoring to the forwards and the center. Be cause of this many Central fans are betting on Rodgers to hold L in S' e down next week. As usual Xoble Frank was the high scorer. He caged six goals from the field and made sixteen out of eighteen from the foul line. Frank played a mighty good flcyir game and easily outplayed Morrett. Wright played a good game at forward al though he didn't do any of the scor ing. P. Wueschinski and Porr played the best games for Steelton. Porr Starts Scoring Porr opened the scoring by mak ing a f.eVd goal. Porr made a foul. P. Wueschinski caged a two-pointer from the side of the floor. Porr got four fouls. Morrett made a field goal. Porr got three fouls. Frank mr.de Central's first point on a foul Shortly after this he caged a pretty field goal. Frank made another two pointer by jumping the ball in the basket on a tossup. Porr got a field goal. P. Wueschinski got another two-pointer. Fields started his scor ing by making a long shot. Frank got a foul. Frank got two more fouls. P. Wueschinski made a field goal. Wolfe made a pretty shot from the middle of the floor. Frank got another foul. Porr got.two fouls. Frank made one from the fifteen foot mark. The half ended with the score II to 16 in Steelton's favor. Second Half In the second half Central played all around the Steelton team and scored 24 points to their nine. Mor rett made a field goal. Frank got a foul. Frank made another field "goal. Then Frank made two fouls. Wolfe made two more points on a shot from the side of the floor after taking the ball the length of the floor. P. Wueschinski made a very nice shot from the center of the floor. Frank made another field goal. Frank got three fouls in a row. A field goal by Frank was fol lowed by a two pointer by Fields. Frank made another long shot. Porr made a two-pointer. Porr got a foul. Frank made another foul. Fields scored again. Porr and Frank each made a foul.

The Central tea, would probably have won if Robinson had played in second period. Coach Wallower kept Robinson on the bench during the second half so as-to have him as a substitute for the varsity game. Snell opened the scoring with a field goal. Herring tossed one through the basket noon afterwards for two more points. Robinson made a foul. Robinson and Nlsslev scored in succession. Niaaley made two more points. McCaleb caged a two-pointer.

Notes of the Game Central players stagey a renl come back in the second half, which car ried them over the tpp and enabled them to win the game. Steelton looked like a real <eam last night, displaying splendid team w-crk and brainy playing. The steeltown bunch was unable to locate the seal in the second half or the score might have been closer. Porr. of Steelton, plays a fast and cool-headed game. His foul shooting is also commendable. He is a star. Some of the spectators at the game must think that basketball players are not human. "Hissing" at rltyera when a foul that appears to be dirty is pulled ofT is a thing that should be forgotten in this city. Fcvls by players committed in de fense work may look bad, but they do not deserve "hissing." A referee elso does not deserve to be "hissed." "Art" Fields, at forward, last night, w-as a star.

The diamond was too soggy for the men to use but the track candidates were on the cinders every day and the baseball men were given some outdoor running to do in addition to the cage workouts. There was a good response to the call for men for the nine. There is a small neucleus of veterans of last season and from these and the men who have come out two teams will be formed and work begun at the earliest possible moment. Coach Mac Andrews will have a consider able task this year as the majority of the candidates, while willing, are green. Track Outlook Good The track outlook so far is good. Dickinson has afrranged to send a team to the Penn relays and several other meets are pending. Every man of the champion relay quartet of last year are in the Army. Among the old men out again are Flood, Intercollegiate champion two-miler; Fagen and J. McXeal, quarter milers, Welllver, a hurdler and high jumper; H. McNeal for the hurdles and pole vault and Wertacnic, of football fame, for the weights. There are a number of new men who promise to fill the ranks, how ever, including Davis, Law, a prom ising quarter-mlier; Shapiro, 1-siw, also a quarter candidate, and Miler, Hedges and Kelchiver, Law, with Gladhill, Simmons, Glowa, Johnson and Myers, of the college, who .are out for positions. Men who have recently come ' out include Devon shire and J. Oorson, of the Law school, both of whom have prep school records. The main need Is for sprinters and. men for the broad jump and field events, especially the discus throw.

Virginia Watts will play her usual position as center. She fits this posi tion better than any center High has had for some time. Miss Anne Emanuel, forward, and Captain Maurer, guard are running a race for the stellar position on the team. Miss Rachel Longsdorf can be de pended upon to hold down her posi tion as guard creditably.

He will get it, but some fel lows who have admired this star may forget the big event. Cheer for the young corporal. Fred Dinger got what he wanted in winning the famous Harrisburg trophy. It was worth while. Dinger went after the historic prize. His shooting was a feature. Hepler, one of the early holders of the cup was not far behind. Hand It to Central and give every player in Inst night's game the best that can be said. Coach Wallower's new things worked well. The Blue and Gray tossers were in the game. While slowing up several times they neber looked like losers. It is a pity they are not up farther in the race. It would be a big thing for Harris burg fans to have Tech and Central settle the season's argument. One sport writer refers to Tech's victory at Tyrone as a comeback stunt. Who ever heard about Tech doing any skidding this year. The Maroons have been setting the pace all season.
