The Technical High School football eleven hold another strcguous prac tice over 90 tho Island last evening In preparation the Wilkes-Barre game Saturday afternoon. With an other clear day. the management Is looking for a record orowd. Coach Smith has been putting on a head of steam to run the steam-roller over the visitors In ruthless fashion. At last night's practice both Bill and JCohlman were on the field fol lowing the practico, and becoming familiar with the new. plays. but neither player 'was In uniform. It is probable that both will appear in the lineup.. Lauster and Arnold are also depended on to play an important part In the game with the Coal Bar ons. The new cheer leaders and the band lender will make their first appearance. Fine Eat* For Apple Pickers Principal Charles B. Fager, Jr., re turned yesterday from tHe Adams county fruit belt where he saw more than 100 of the Tech boys located in sanitary Liberty camps and start their work of harvesting the largo crop of apples.

Face Gas and Flame Battery Ty Cobb, world's greatest hero in baseball, took a flying leap into fur ther fame yesterday when he signed ui to enter Camp Humphreys, Va„ having been commissioned ; n the chemical war-fare service, most dan gerous of all. Cobb has faced every kind of battery there is in the Na tional game but he will be up against something new this time. Gas-and-flame soldiers usually go into action ahead of the attacking waves of infantry. The flame men carfy tanks on their backs and ad vance against the enemy x under cover of artillery barrage, squirting flames of liquid fire from nozzles attached to tanks of the fluid whicjj they carry on,their backs. The gas men, when advancing to the attack, carry a sack of gas-filled bombs which they hurl into the ttvnclies and dugouts after the fashion of grenade-throwers. When the wind is right gas offensives other than those in which shells are used, are launched by burying gas tilled drums in front of the sectors to be so attacked and loosing the deadly fumes when the wind' direc tion and atmospheric conditions are most favorable. The preparation of such offensives involves so much labor that they are rarely resorted to nowadays especially in view of the fact that if the enemy learns of them in advance his troops put on their gas masks or arc removed from the front lines until the attack is over. 4 • Training experts are predicting to day that Cobb will never be the same star after he goes through this ser vice. Cobb won't ha:} his speed. Ho would have lost some of that, any way. He may nor have the same nervous energy, the gas service, as said, being one is rifted espec ially trying on men's nerves. In his caje, and in the cases of other high ly strung athletes, there will be a reaction that wid unfit them for baseball more than any mere phy sical deterioration. Cobb is 32 years old and h'e-is bid ding good-by to the game as the star of stars. In 191S he could do most of the things that ho did when he was 21. in a year when he gave an all time all-round performance with ex treme speed ess.-niial to most of this comeback, then he certainly must be WESTMORELAND MEN ON THE HILL Address Governor on Qualifi cations of Three Men Men tioned For Judgeship Governor Brumbaugh, who listened for two hours to friends of men men tioned for thtj vacant judgeship in Westmoreland county speak in their behalf, told a delegation of over forty residents of that county, that the con trolling factors in the selection of a judge would be interest in the social and moral progress of the comunity and in the spiritual welfare of the people. ' He said that he would also have to be honest in business and a devout believer. The" Governor also remarked that from what he had heard, the courts of the county were not suffering because of the vacancy. The hearing was arranged, so the Governor said, that there might be "a frank and free" discussion of merits of candidates. Speakers for Judge C. 1). Copeland, of the Orphans' Court, who aspires to the Common Pleas va cancy, included James H.

STATE FIGHTING THE INFLUENZA Nurses detailed and Tents to Re Sent if Necessary io Care For Patients Dr. B. F. Royer, State Commis sioner of Health, to-day asked Ad jutant General Beary to furnish use of armories and to send tertts to the Chester district to take care of influenza patients. Dr. Royer stated that he had received reports of nu merous fresh cases from Chester and that the' conditions in some of the lodging houses were reported as un favorable for .caring for patients. The military end of the state govern ment will co-operate in measures for relief. Last night fifteen nurses from the Department of Health's Dispensary Service, and Dr. Karl SchufTie, chief of the Turberculosls Dispensary Service, werp sent to Boston by Com missioner Royer to render service to Massachusetts in her time of dis-- tress. The nursing corps was head ded by Miss Alice M. O'Halloran, chief dispensary nursq, and Miss Anna L. Hart, of the dispensary di vision, and they were accompanied by Catharine Berntheisel, nurse for Perry county; Elsie B. Hatfield, of the Lancaster dispensary: Frank ford Lewis, of the Harrisburg dis pensary; Nellie C. Loftus, of the. Wilkes-Barre .dispensary; Marie Wit tig, of the Mount Carmel dispensary; Anna M.

F. AND 1. CANNOT MEET THE EOF P. Military Restrictions Cancel Game but Penn Will Open With League Island No university in the country will have livelier football this season than Old Penn, which opens on Sat urday with the League Island eleven, coached by Hyron Dickson, ex-Penn star and coach. This was the game scheduled for Franklin and Marshall which had to cancel by reason of military requirements. The sea soldiers should prove worthy opponents for Iho Red and BJue, as their personnel contains a number of former collegiate stars, i not a ftnv of whom were of All- American caliber in their day. Wein stein, the former Dickson star; Pete and Charley Garlow, the Car lisle lineman, and "Tom" Dough erty, of Penn, are a few of the playp ens that will cavort about Franklin Field on Saturday in marine uni forms. All the other games, those with Bucknell on October 12, Swarth more, October- 19; Lafayette, No vember 2, and Georgia Tech on No vember 16, are sure. A missive from Captain Beazley, of the Bucknell S. A. T. C., was,received yesterday and confirmed the date of October 12 with Penn. The Army ruling in regard to overnight trips will not affect Buck nell for the trip from Lewisburg can be made on the day of the contest. Captain Beazley, who is a Penn graduate, class of 1915, is enthusias tic about the game between his proteges* and his Alma Mater and is doing all in his power to pave the .way for the staging of it. Because of the Students' Army Training Corps' rulings that no col lege team may take an overnight trip during the month of October, the Pittsburgh contest, sceduled for October 2ii, will be moved back to Saturday, November 9. The Pitt contest was Penn'S sole ! game away from home. At first it was thought that a dispensation from the terse military order in re gard to overnight trips could be secured, but the old slogan, "Orders is orders." prevailed. The Smoky City representatives take the date formerly held by Dartmouth. | The concellation of the game with I the Big Green team comes as a big | rfhock to many Penn followers, for j tills contest was always regarded as I one of the best of the season. How ! ever, no word as to whether Dart mouth will have a representative eleven has been received at Penn yet. The same condition prevails wi,th Cornell. Little Chance For Sleep With Big Guns Going Some of the most interesting let ters from the front come from local j boys who request that their names !be not used in publication.
