The event is the last athletic contest of the year, and marks the close of the best series of records in the history of Tech. The Maroon athletes lost but one football game, and two basketball contests to other High schools. Chances are that Tech has the best High school track team in the East. Coach Hill was in charge of the squad which included John Beck, Malick. Hoffsommer, Carl Beck, I Wilsbach, Garrett, Oscar Miller, i Sparrow. Boyer, Heagy and Hinkle. The Tech champions' last victory I was at Pittsburgh, where they romp ed away with victory from some of the best schools in the state. With perfectly balanced team the Maroon gobbled up 52 1-5 points. The chief heroes were Carl Beck and "Toney" Wilsbach. with John Beck close on their heels, while Garrett, Malick, Sparrow and Boyer each tallied. Beck and Garrett finished third and fourth respectively In the 100- yard dash when the time of 10 3-5 was made. Malick won the 440- yard dash making the distance in 51 2-5. He was hard pressed by Covalt, of Wilk insburg. Sparrow finished fifth in the half-mile run. Carl Beck won his trial heat In the 120-yard hurdles and then captured the final. It was a hard raee. Boyer finished third in this event. Tech's points in the field events were tallied by Beck and Wilsbach. The former captured the 12-pound shot put when he hurled It 45.7 feet and "Tony" carried away the discus prize when he threw it a distance of 98.8 feet. The eyes of all interested in college and track events will be on this contest to-day at Lafayette, the' home of General March. Tech will, have the hardest battle of the season to maintain her ascendancy, for the crack teams of Pennsylvania are entered. • URGE MEDICAL EXAMS All men with defects that may be remedied are to be fitted for active war service as quickly as possible, according to plans announced from state draft headquarters.

Weeping Bride Pleads That Husband Be Not Sent to Fighting Front Philadelphia.—"l give it up—you can't argue with a crying woman." Outside the door of Lieutenant Newßom'B office at the British re cruiting mission, Sixteenth and Chestnut streets, sat a weeping bride jof a few weeks. She had come to plead with the mission. "Please don't send my husband away from me," she sobbed. "Gosh! X felt like a terrible ras , cal for a moment," said the recruit i ing officer who had retired in con fusion behind the shelter of the pri | vate office. "But, blast my boots, I | didn't kidnap her husband. It's the | government that wants him. He ia going to do a little job for himsalf, j for ain't we the government, despite I what any Sinn Feiner says? | "Skldmore, you go out and talk to her. It'B your turn to go over the top. You've got a wife—you know how to handle women." "Not me." said Lieutenant Skid | more as he held up both hands. "I'll | go over the top, but nix on tackling • the weeping women." "My wife loved me as much as any j of these weeping women, but back in ' the days before she was Mrs. Skid | more, when I went away, I knew she I was especially strong for me the way ; she kept back the tears until I was out of sight so she wouldn't make me feel blue. "But you ought to see the French i soldiers and their wives. They say the French soldier is a good tignt.er because he has something that no other soldier had —the women of i France. "They go with their men to the ! trains. There is no weeping; every eye is dry. Mothers, sisters, daugh ters, sweethearts and wives put their men on the train almost as non chalantly as if they were going to work. And they are. The train pulls slowly out, and the women stand on the platform watching. There are forms, looking back and straining their eyes for the last look. Then after the train has gone the women return to their homes, their faces lighted with what seems a holy and religious exaltation. ' That is the spirit of the women of Fiance. They are the ones who have sooriflced their all —they are the ones who wo are asked to help. Why shouldn't a woman be proud of a man that fights for the rights of women like that?"

No less than ninety-four tourna ments have been granted registration by the Interstate Trapshootlng As sociation, including sixteen state championships and the annual gath erings of the American Indians and the Sportsman's Association of the northwest Trapshootlng Championship tourn aments wero held in Arizona, Ark ansas, Washington, North Carolina, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon. Dela ware, Nebraska, Mississippi, Cali fornia, Nevada, Florida and Tennes se during the month of May, and with the number to be contested in June there still remains some 16 State championships to be decided. These more than likely will be held during July, for as a usual thing all State tournaments are conducted prior to the running of the Grand American Handicap Trapshootlng tournament, which this year will take place the first week in August. The State tournaments are run prior to the G. A. H., so that - the new State title holder can participate in the National Championship event— and if the tournaments are con ducted prior to the G, A. H. none will carry over Into the hunting sea son. Back Troeh Against the World Considerable interest is attached all championship tournaments, but there is more Interest in some than othera. For Instance: In the lowa State tournament, William Ridley, of What Cheer, and B. F. Eldred, of Des Moines, will shoot for the Ha zard Doubles Championship trophy, emblematic of the world s title. H. J. Pendergast, of Phoenix, has won the New York State title three years in succession, each time making 100 straight.

In most cases those small bakeries can take care of the entire demand in the towns in which they are located, so no Inconvenience can be expected in these territories. Officials of the West Shore Bak ery this morning paid that the ca pacity of their plant will be doubled to aid In meeting 1 the shoitage. Eigh teen .new men, most of them master bakers and most of them coming from the Schmidt plants, have been employed at the 'cross-river plant that the plant may be operated at full capacity for hours per day Instead of the twelve hours per day of ordinary times with or dinary conditions. The capacity of this p'.ant is 25,- 000 "counts" per day which Is ail served in Harrisburg and West Shore territory. An additional 25,000 "counts" will be produced each twen ty-foul- hours during the next four weeks and all of th.'s will be sent 'oj Harrisburg to help fl'l the nole In { the Harrisburg supply. To he'p meet conditions officials of the company this morning said that they expect ed to add several new delivery teams within the next several days. Concentrate Efforts Due to the concentrated effort wliioh It is now putting forth, the West Shore plant may be unaole during the next several weeks to produce some of the special brands of bread that It <s now producing, i The Pullman loaf, used very much by hotels and restaurants for mak ing sandwiches, Is one of the first brands of bread that may be discon tinued, official* eaid this -morning.

WING, Ma-gtr dergast keep going? He will an swer the question. The Pennsyl vania State title has been won the last two years with- 100 straight. What has been done once can be ac complished again. This will be the thirty-fourth an nual tournament of the Sportsmen's Association of the northwest, and just to give a touch of national im ponance to the affair the sportsmen of Seattle, where the shoot will be held, have offered to back Frank Troeh, of Vancouver, Wash., a former national champion, against any trapshooter In the world, for $5,000 in Liberty Bcmds. Sportsmen of the northwest feel that Troeh is the one best bet as a trap shot and are willing to back their opinion. The stipulated conditions call for 500 targets to be thrown. Troeh's backers are willing that the match should be shot In one afternoon, or 100 targets each day for five davs. The defi is open to all —and can be accepted by as many shooters as care to take the trip to Seattle and de posit Liberty Bonds to the extent mentioned by the Seattle people. The American Indians' tournament >vill be back at Cedar Point. This will be the nineteenth running, and the ninth time at the Ohio resort. The Indians' tournament always at tracts in the neighborhood of 200 shooters and their families—and is getting to be one of the biggest af fairs of trapdom.
