FOOTBALL GETS A JOLT FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT; EDMUNDSON LEADS STEELTON ' \ • ' MAY PROHIBIT FOOTBALL War Department Likely to Demand That Spare Time Be Used For Training By Associated Press . Chicago, Sept. 13.—The possibility of the complete suspension of foot ball in all important colleges and universities in the country as a war measure loomed up strongly last night as a result of the War Depart ment request that no fall gridiron schedules be arranged by educational institutions having student army training corps. There are four hun dred universities and colleges scat tered through the country with stu dent corps. AH of the big universities in the middle west already had made plans for carrying out the 1918 schedules and the request for the abandonment of the intercollegiate sport came as a distinct surprise. Practice was to have started in the "Big Ten" con ference next Monday and similar plans for the practice season were under way in the Missouri Valley conference. Extensive schedules had been arranged by every important institution, many of the games being scheduled with service elevens. Officials of the University of Chi cago said the War Department re quest undoubtedly means that all spare time of the students will be de voted to military instruction instead of athletics and that there would bo no time for the development of football. -The abandonment of the game will result in heavy financial losses, as the proceeds of the sport usually met the deficit in baseball and other col lege games. ABANDONS ALL SPORTS Baltimore, Md.. Sept. 13. Johns Hopkins University has decided to call off all sporting contests for the coming winter, including lacrosse and football, in order that all students may be free to devote themselves to war work along various lines.

Pzzt! Kiwanis Wants to Claw Black Cats What's the best way of blunting a black cat's clows? This is the ques tion now haunting Manager Charles E. Reeser of the Kiwanis Club ba3e-1 ball team. Keeser has finished ar rangements for a game between the strongest Kiwanis team he can pull together and the famous and peerless B4ack Cats of the Camp Colt Tank, Corps. Heretofore, according to Reeser, the Kiwanians played the Black Kit tens who were the offspring of the Black Cats. The kittens are meow ing piteously over their squelching by the Kiwanians several weeks ago. Reeser wasn't satisfied with mauling the kittens, so he's going to take the cats into hand, too. The big game is to be staged on the Nixon Field at Gettysburg. Sat urday, September 21. Star players of both teams will be In the lineup and a game of brilliant, snappy playing is promised for the lucky ones who hold tickets. The proceeds will go to a war work enterprise.

M. C. A. Selects Illustrious Globe-Trotting Link Vet eran For Duty New York, Sept. 13—Charl3 Leonard Fletcher, known interna tionally as "the globe-trotting golf er," who has 'dug trenches with his niblicks in more links than any other pursuer of the elusive gutta percha, will soon be over in the land of trenches "what are tranches," where a drive is a drive and where the cry cf "fore" makes one not only duc.lt but also put on his gas mask. Fletcher, whose weird golfing ex perience would fill a library and who can talk a phonograph blue in the face recounting them, was an actor of parts until last week when ho changed his profession to a 24-hour a-day servant of Uncle Sam in the capacity of a Y. M. C. A. overseas man. Just before enlisting in the Red Triangle work, he played over his 216 th course, the new Philmont links 6f Philadelphia. Oeneral duty as a "hut secretary" will be performed by the globe-trot ting golfer when he gets 'over there.' He has requested that his eventual assignment be right up with the front lines, where his training as a dodger of flying golf balls will enable him to work coolly under fire- He will caddy for the boys in khnlci, dealing out various commodities they crave and doing any little thing, or big thing, that might promote their wel fare and morale. In the evenings it will be easy to visualize him in the center of a group listening eagerly to his string of bizarre stories that have convulsed many a "nineteenth hole" caucus as well as "going over big" across the footlights. As a story, teller he takes a back seat to no one. When Fletcher eventually comes back from the trenches—lf he does —he will go on enlarging his direc tory of personally inspected golf courses, but in the meantime it is safe to say no man will threaten his position as ranking first in num ber of links played, his record up to date being 216. He has such a lead that there is no second. Pershing Troops Practice Trapshooting Says Marshall Question. How many entries in the last Grand American Handicap? Who won it? Was he an old timer? What was his handicap? Who was runner up?. Duluth, Minn. Old Timer. Answer. There were 620 entries. John D. Heury of Elkhart, Ind., won the race from the*l6-yard mark; he was not an old timer, a new man in the game from a tournament stand point, who borrowed a gun to shoot the race. H. D. Pendergast, of Pennsylvania, was runner up, shoot ing from the 22-yard mark. A good job of handicapping when a 16 and 2 2-yard tied for honors. Question. Has trapshooting endorsed by the government ord nance department? Is wing shooting being taught in aviation schools and cantonments? ' Aurora, 111. James Hight- Answer. Col. John T. Thompson, TJ. S. A., of the ordnance department, writes C. M. Powers of Decatur, en-- dorsing trapshooting in no uncertain way. Trapshooting is being taught in both ground schools and canton ments in addition to the above facts over 2,000,000 targets and target loads were sent across to General Pershing, that the shooting of the boys in khaki might be improved. Question- What are the "Louis iana Mallards" that it is claimed do not migrate? St. Louis, Mo. C. F. Barnes. Answer.

Steve Yerkes was doing nobly and his absence from Injury hurt the team a good deal. Jack Knight's average does not tell in figures the number of pincb hits he made and as for Kaufman he appeared to have the breaks against him all season. In the main, however, Steelton was not a hard-hitting club and the greatest credit must be given to Its pitchers for keeping the club in the lead.

SCIENCE CAN MAKE BETTER CHILDREN Dr. Vastine Gives His Experience in Treating Defective and Abnormal Boys and G iris; Complete Gures Not Guaranteed in All Cases; May Be Less Court Work Waite, the New York murderer dentist, and two unnamed cases coming under his own professional observation in this city, serve as il lustrations for Dr. H. M. Vastine, prominent osteopath of Harrisburg, of the urgency for "progressive in telligence to curb criminal ten dencies at their beginning" and for his contention that, such tendencies "are the outgrowth of defective nu trition to the brain." In an article on "Delinquency, Its Cause and Cure," appearing in t he September number of the Osteopathic Magazine, official organ of the osteopaths in the United States, Dr. Vastine says that a step in the right direction to dis sopate these tendencies "has been taken in certain communities by sub mitting children brought before the juveni.'e court to a physical examina tion." Though this is a good thing in the estimation of Dr. Vastine. "yet, by reason of the nature of the ex amination (which lacks the proper viewpoint and the heightened tactile sense or art of detection which is es sential in determining causes for these conditions) little more has been accomplished than to conclude that the subject is defective." Defective Nutrition Defective nutrition of the brain as described by Dr. Vastine which leads to abnormal acts in the young, arlgps from "a failure in the regulation of blood feeding the little cells which govern the moral nature, causing them to be overnourished, engorged with blood or undernourished, starved for blood, as the case may be. In either instance an altera tion of the normal action, or func tion of these cells occurs which alteration produces an abnormal quality of morals." Telling of his local experiences cited above and his treatment of them, the osteopath writes in part, as follows: "The possibilities of relieving and curing Juvenile criminals, or those who possess criminal tendencies, was brought forcibly to my atten tion about ten or more years ago when the son of a prominent med ical physician, then deceased, was brought to me by the trust officer of a large banking institution, which was acting as his guardian. This fol lowed a consultation and decision to test out the case, which, by the way, had an almost identical history with that of Waite. At periods this lad was a fine boy, while at others he would play the role of' a finished thief. His periodical depredations became so priarked that his guardian was considering the urgent necessity of committing him to a reformatory. But on account of his mother, who pleaded for time, they delayed, hop ing for a change to occur, and that come Cottage Hill with open arms, for since the defeat of .last Saturday there is considerable and open arms doeß not necessarily mean kindly arms. Indeed, If the local papers accurately describe the sltu tion Bethlehem feels that it was treated badly at Steelton last week and intends to get revenge to-mor row. By bagging this battle Cockill will win the flag. By losing it a tie will result .and a third game will be necessary. Reading was first chosen for the tie-off fray, but dis carded. There was talk of Shlbe Park but very likely that game will be played either at Steelton or Beth lehem. BETHLEHEM B. AB. B. H. Pet. SB.

He would break down and cry pathetically on being confronted with the evidence of his acts, and the possible penalty he would have to pay, and would promise as sincerely as any one could never to repeat them, only to break the promise as readily as it was made. "A course of treatment having been agreed upon he had to be got ten under a ruse, so his mother was instructed to tell him that he must be treated for a form of nervousness that occurred during sleep, but that under no circumstances should he know the real intent of treatment. He insisted that he was not ill, and reluctantly consented. Examination disclosed two or three points along this great switchboard affe6ted, one direct and the others contributory. One, however, was particularly marked, clearly defined, acutely sen sitive, and lying in a region most likely to produce an altered form of blood supply to the brain. Fixing upon it as th§ cause work was be gun on its correction, which was so simple and easily accomplished that the lad wondered if that was ail that was to be done. x "The boy was kept under obser vation and treated* mildly over a period of eight weeks in order to se cure absorption of all the adhesions that had formed about the spot, and the function of the spinal Joint com | pletely restored, and then discharged as cured. It might bo well to add that sufficient movement in the line of correction was made the very first treatment, so that he never committed a theft from that day forward. He is now a finely respect ed, honorable young man in his first year of college.- "Another case was that of a vicious child (girl) of three years of age. She was so stubborn and ugly that she practically ruled the father and mother at this early age. Would scream, bite or scratch, and refused positively to obey. This little 'shrew' was effectually tamed and became a charming and beautiful child. Spinal defects similar to the ones found in case No. 1 were pres ent and clearly defined. The methods employed ih correction are very sim ple, and consist first in determining the location an'd extent of the dfefee tive position, and Just exactly how far from its normal position and in what direction it lies." While Dr. Vastine thinks it "high ly desirable to render aid to the adult or hardened Criminal (though com plete cures are rare)" he thinks it "more necessary and effective as a contribution to the race to be pre ventive and clear 'up the growing children who present these traits or tendencies." The latter, says the doc tor, are the moral perverts, drunk ards and criminals of the future, and as such should be taken in hand while they are still young.
