Basketball is about over. Just a word in explanation of this popular game to clear up a few points. The difference between basketball and football is that in basketball there are two guards and in football they all wear guards. If you want to see a game of ' basketball—find out who's playing.' Pick ]> few Referee to Watcli Plays Tonight; Reserves Play First Peter P. Carney, a Central Board | Intercollegiate basketball official, will I teferee the contest to-night at Chest- i nut Street Audiorium between Tech and Central. This official has offi- ' mated at the contests played in the Intercollegiate League, composed of Venn, Princeton, Columbia, Yale, '■ j Dartmouth and the other big colleges j j and universities of the East, and is j i one of the best cage officials that! i could be secured by the Central man- ' j agement. His presence here will be j an assurance that local patrons will I see first-class officiating at the final ; athletic contest in the cage between j Tech and Central. Either Yoder or Killinger will officiate in the re- j serve contest. The reserve game will start at 7.30, and Central will have a 41 to i !30 score to even. The Maroon play j crs are again the favorites. Then ' will come the big contest that will I decide the Central Pennsylvania con- j troversy. Should Tech lose, it Willi J moan that three more games of a CENTRAL READY INDEPENDENTS IN FOR BIG BATTLE HARD PRACTICE! ! Tonight's Last Time i i Blue and Gray "WilPTakc Part in Scholastic Sports j Central High is going in to win to- J ! night. The Blue and Gray tossers | want to wind up their career With a I victory. Since Central will not enter . either football or basketball this ' year, and will .not have a track team this spring, to-night will in all prob ability be the last time that the hon or of the Blue and Gray will be up held in athletic competition with other schools. Xext year athletics atj Central will be limited to interclass | games between the two classes of | boys that will still be in school after j this year's class graduates. Central Rooters Out Central students as well as thpir f many followers will be on hand to ! do their share in helping to win the I game. At a large and enthusiastic j mass meeting yesterday all students j were urged to get to the game as f early as possible so as to get togethe-1 or in a group. If Central -wins a third game Willi be played in order to determine i which school gets the Diener trophy. I Another reason why Central will do j her best to win, aside from the fact j that this may he her last appearance in sports, is that Tech has never de- j feated a Blue and Gray team more , than once in the same year, and in | most cases Central has -won both ; games. For these reasons Coach Wal- J lower will have his best combination j on the floor. The Central, team led ( by Captain Wolfe, will make stren- J uous efforts to uphold tradition and j keep the athletic . superiority at Central.

Passing and shooting was given close I attention. While it has been the cus ! torn to work hard in preparation for a game, the Independents never put in two hours as strenuous as last night. Local fans remember the last game with Trenton. While several players suffered injuries, it was not considered a rough game. The run in of Harry Hough was purely an accident and came as a result of his hard work and desire to win out. • With but three minutes to play the | Independents were leading by a j small margin. Special work was nec- I essary and no team ever showed as | fast a pace in three minutes.as did the Trentonians. Good Games later j Harrisburg has been given much prominence through the victories by | the Independents. It is probable that j the local season will end with the i Easter hoiday games. However, I Manager Gordon Ford has been J asked to take on some of the Penn ; sylvania League teams and may ar : range for a series of post-season games. The contest to-morrow night will start at 8.15, and will be followed with a big dance program. It is ex pected that Manager Ford will lA ] able to make public his future sched-' ule during the big game. He has been j in correspondence with several man- j agers and is awaiting a reply.

M'CARRON AND SAMMY SCHIFF MEET TUESDAY Seml-Windup Feature on Boxing Show Bill; Thirty Fast Rounds ■■ ■ wm ' s Wm JfflPlkv fli SAMMY SCHIFF While there is a whole lot of in ; terest in the wind-up feature sched uled for Tuesday night in the open- I ing boxing show of'the Motive Power ! Athletic Association, interest is just | as strong in the semi-windup. Sam jmy Schiff, formerly of New York, i now located in this city, will meet ; Joe McCarron, of Lancaster. It is ■ scheduled to go eight rounds. Schiff has been a winner, having I been given the decision in four hard j battles, and he also claims unfair treatment at Lancaster and in a re | cent bout in this city. He wants to i make good and for this reason is : training hard for the Tuesday night 1 battle. His manager J. E. McNaigbt, who has Schiff training near this city, writes: -Promise Real Fighting "You can tell the fight fans of Harrisburg that they are going to see a real fight. Jim McCarron sure can fight! and Sammy Schiff is some bear himself. Sammy has fought four hard fights since com ing here from New York City and won all. He lost to Joe McCarron on a small margin at Lancaster. He has knocked out Young Lehmer and Young Krow. Lehmer weighed 25 pounds heavier than Schiff, and Krow was 40 pounds heavier. He will weigh in at 128 pounds for Mc- Carron. The latter will have 133 pounds. Schiff was not in proper shape at Lancaster, but he is in much better condition now." , Sent Sale Is On The seat sale opened to-day and the demand was very encouraging. The bill is an expensive one, but if it proves successful, others will fol low in short order. The big wind up between Charlie (Toughey) Mur ray was bid for by a Philadelphia Club, but through the efforts of Jack Hanlon, manager for the Olympia Club these boys picked Harrisburg fpr this match. It is billed for a ten round circuit, and both fighters will be in excellent form, as they will come here to-morrow and train until Tuesday in a local gymnasium. Two fast preliminaries are ex pected with Nat Isaacman and Kid Crow and Sam Kautz and Young Russell, two lively Lancaster boys. Tickets should be secured early to avoid the rush at the hall, Tuesday night. Last Game For Academy; Play Steelton High Team The Academy five completes their cage season to-night when they meet Steelton High school at Felton hall. Steelton. The game will draw a crowd of Academy rooters to Steel ton to support their Representatives and there will be plenty of pep in the game. Academy has dropped two con tests straight, losing to Lewistown High school and Franklin and Mar shall during the last two weeks. Be fore that two successive victories were hung up by the Blucand Gold when they won from Gettysburg Academy and Central High school. The game last Satufday was lost by a single point when the Lewlstown five scored a fout during the last minute of play. The Academy has a good man In Wren, who captains the quintet and holds the forward berth. Wren for mally played on the Steelton five be fore he became a student at the Academy. DeVore hoTls the other . forward position and has been a varsity man all season. fWDLLYIf I W C OR£NT3FL. • Judging from the list of victories the Central grammar school team of Steelton is again a big sensation in their respective class. These tossers have been setting a pace that com pares favorably with that of many high school cage teams throughout the state. It is further evidence that in the near future more good basket ball material is assured at Steelton High school. The warm weather has driven track candidates outdoors. Tooh sprinters have been visiting the Is land Park track. Coach Hill never misses an opportunity to get his lads in shape early. It promises to be some competition this year at the Penn Relay Carnival and the Maroon runners are anxious to show the best kind of form possible. If Tech wins to-night it will be the last time local cage enthusiasts will see a Central team in action. As was the case with football, this is the last season for a varsity boys' team at Central High. There is no denying the fact that the old time rivalry will be missed. STEELTON WINS AT MIDDLETOWN Grammar School Champs Hang Up Seventeenth Vic ton-; Girls Play Central Grammar school tossers, of Steelton, will not let any of their opponents have a chance to claim even a look in for this season's Grammar school basketball cham pionship. Yesterday afternoon at Middletown the Steelton Stars de feated the Central Grammar school, of Middletown, score 20 to 8. The game was played at Luna rink, Mid dletown. This was the second vic tory this season over yesterday's op ponents. It was also the seventeenth victory for the Steelton Grammar champs.

MARCH 22, 1918 Without a doubt York will have to I forfeit the contest to Allentown be- i cause of their failure to appear in Allentown Saturday night. The York management had all seusdn to rear range the schedule so that the quin tet would not have to do Sunday traveling, if there is objection to that by the York school autho'rities. An other matter that will need to be adjusted will he the question of guarantee, as Allentown received no money, according to the agreement when the newcomers visited York. Saturday night's game would not [ have cost Allentown a guarantee. j "Ted" Lloyd, last year's football captain at Tech, who was admitted to State College in February, is home on a vacation. He has just recover ed from an attack of measles. The Tech players had a glimpse of i the Kensselaer Polytechnic basket- I ball trophy that will come to the I winner of the Central Penn series. Xow they are more anxious than I ever to land the honors. They state I that the trophy is as large as any in the Tech trophy case, and that it is worth while having.
