Big Bill Edwards, who Is raising money to buy footballs for our sol diers in France, received an un expected contribution at Jamaica yesterday when he was booming the Liberty Loan. He ran across Harry Tobin, a former Dartmouth College player, in the clubhouse. Tobin has two sons in the Army, both gridiron stars. "Here is a $5O bill, Mr. Collector!" said Tobin. "I hope it will buy some footballs for the boys over there!" Edwards accepted the gift with manv thanks and said that the foot ball "fund was steadily increasing. Huns again, we bet. Colonel Jacob Ruppert, of New York, who is one of the leading breeders of St. Ber nard dogs in the United States, has lost many of these dogs, which were among the best bred and most valu able dogs in the country. The cause of the malady, which resulted in the destruction of about twenty of these animals, still is puzzling the veteri narians. Whether they were too highly fed or not has not transpired, but a skin affection broke out among them in the country kennels and it proved too much for the veterinar ians. Colonel Ruppert had planned to present most of these dogs later to breeders in Europe, who have been compelled to give up the work of producing the St. Bernards dur ing the war. Practically all the ani mals destroyed were young ones. t The best runners in the world are said to be Indians living near the Gulf of California, and known as Seris. The race numbers only some 400.

London Times prints a cable from The Hague saying that the Kaiser during his visit to Briey and Conflans distributed 400 iron crosses to the men who fought against the Yanks in the St. Mihiel sector, ad dressing them as follows: "You, gentlemen, know that we stand here confronted, perhaps, by hard battles. You know also to whom you stand opposed. In Amer ica yonder the word has been utter ed that the Americans intended to •make a present from their own hand to the French Republic of Alsace- Lorraine, which the French could not conquer themselves. It would appear that great efforts are about to be undertaken to associate deeds with this big talk.

Lieutenant Van- Horn Wolfe, a foamer Penn athlete and a brother of Bill Wolfe, the present Red and Blue guard, has been killed in ac tion, according to a wire received here yesterday. Lieutenant Wolfe was leading his men in an attack when a mustard gas shell broke ovep him and he was virtually burned TO death. Lieutenant Wolfe played tackle on Penn's 1913 football team and also rowed on the crew. In the spring of 1914 he was stated at No. 4 in the 'Varsity shell. Reports received by the Army and Navy Training Camp Commissions from athletic directors at the va rious cantonments and training sta tions throughout the country indi cate that football leads all other sports in pepularity among the ser vice men. Such men as Sol Metzger, By Dickson, Bill Hollenback, Andy Smith, Lew Young say the gridiron game easily has the greatest call, and they declare that but for the in terruption of football work by the influenza epidemic the service teams this year would have been even bet ter than those of a year ago, despite the fact that many of the star play ers who shone last season on the naval elevens are not available now, having been.transferred to active sea service. The "flu" has upset things among the service elevens, however, just as it has among the college teams. At many of the camps foot ball is all up in the air, as on ac count of the epidemic it is hard to get men out for the various teams and it is impossible to arrange schedules at present, for few of the college teams are able to book games with any degree of certainty.

' No Game at Lancaster; Swarthmore Quarantined Lancaster, Pa., Oct. 12.—Football here has been given another setback by the influenza epidemic. An nouncement was made yesterday that the game between Franklin and Marshall 'and Swarthmore College has been canceled because bf the malady. Swarthmore has been placed under quarantine and ten of the F. and M. players are out of the game because of the disease. Lancaster High will also remain idle to-day. A game had been sched uled with Millersville Normal, but the closing of city schools made It impossible to keep the High school team intact. S noodles By Hiingerford Moral - 4 ' ) "Johnny Get Your Gun," Pleads Tom Marshall; M AII Must Shoot" The art of wing shooting was taught at an early date, when feath ered game abounded In this country in such unlimited numbers that a bag limit was an unheard-of possi bility, and a closed season was a monumental Joke. . Sjjortsmen during that period did not contemplate the ultimate disap pearance of those feathered aces of the air, neither was the marked de crease due to Excessive bags killed by the hunters. The march and en croachment of civilization, the cul tivating and reclaiming of swamp and pasture lands, the cutting off of the timber and replacing of rail and hedge fences by the land-conserving barbed wire, eliminating in a great measure the nesting, breeding, and resting sanctuaries, has been the real cause of game disappearance. In some instances the use of mod ern firearms and ammunition has been cited as one of the reasons. Protective legislation, the enactment of stringent state and county laws, governing the season and bag limits, are keeping pace with improvement in firearms. It makes no difference what weapon is utilized in killing the bag limit laws are respect ed as regards excesses. It is posi tively the man behind the gun who is responsible for the killing of game as a field novice is never destructive of wild life. Change in environments has been the means of forcing all species of wild life into restricted localities, which for the most part have been pre-empted by purchase, lease and conversion into game preserves and sanctuaries, where shooting clubs are permitted to hunt under restric tion. The establishing of clubs has ma- I terially assisted in the preservation | and propagation of game. Natural i lakes and swamps have been per petuated; on many preserves arti ficial game resorts have been crea ted. Had this property remained in the possession of Individuals. the enormous increase in land values would have certainly induced drain age and reclaiming, thus driving all game to state and national preserves or large bodies of water. The major portion of the shooting clubs ana law respecting sportsmen, who religious ly conform with, all laws, while their limited membership Is a guarantee against the killing of excessive amounts of game at any time. The Duck Island Club on the Illi nois river, under the guiding hand of Uncle Dan Voorhees. the "Tall Sycamore of the Illinois," are most punctilious in their observance of rules and regulations. During the closed season, as designated by the federal law, the preserve becomes a game sanctuary, under the supervi sion of the caretaker, whose duty Is to feed, guard, propagate, and pro tect. This is the policy of most clubs who assist materially in the con serving of wild life against the en croachments of civilization. The gradual disappearance of game has forced the would-be wing shot into other channels for experience and practice. The inahlmate target, upon which there is no closed sea- 190 New Cases Reported in Cumberland County Mccbanlsburg, Pa., Oct. 12.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! son or bag limit, manufactured from pitch, clay, and whiting, molded into the form of a four-ineh saucer, to be thrown from a trap a distance of approximately 50 yards, at a di versity of angles, in flight very much resembling a bird upon the wing. This flying object is to be crushed or broken in mid air, with a re stricted load of IVi ounces of No. 7ts shot, three drams of powder, from a twelve-gauge gun. Thiu "piece de resistance" when shattered by an aspirant for wing shooting honors, gives all the sensations and thrills experienced afleld, when in pursuit of those feathered beauties; the only absent pleasure is the cul inary finale. Trapshooting has been endorsed by Uncle Sam and instructors placed in cantonments and ground schools. This great patriotic pastime is certainly destined to become the major sport in America. As a conservation of the all-es sential element in the winning of the world's war—time— every man with in the limits of the draft age 18 to 45 . should immediately learn to shoot. This admonition also applies to the Home Defense Guard or pros pective members. Every boy of re quisite age to become a Boy Scout should learn to handle a gun and shoot. Every woman should be able to protect home and person. Americans should become an army of expert shots. Preparedness in sures permanent and perpetual peace. Question: What in your judgment is the best 12-gauge load for duck shooting? Moline, 111. Jake Gustaveson. Answer: For all round shooting both decoy and pass, use 314 drams of bulk er 26 grains dense powder, 1% ounces of No. 6 chilled shot. Question: Is trapshooting being taught in soldiers' camps? What good is it, Huns don't have wings. Pittsburgh, Pa. Mike Carroll. Answer: Right you are, Mike, the writer agrees with you—they do not have wings; if decorated in the future, they would have trouble keeping them from being singed. Wing shooting is being taught because it is especially Useful in aviation work. Shotguns when used in trench work and properly directed are most effi cient. Don't* criticise, Mike, you will find that Uncle Sam is making very few mistakes, which are easily cor rected and never occur a second time. Question: Do you think there will be prose cutions under the late Federal Duck law? Would it be safe to shoot next spring? Philadelphia, Pa. James Cruzen. Answer: Those in authority say there will be aggressive prosecutions under the Federal Migratory Game law here after. The lyv is logical and should be respected. Don't transgress. The sport to be derived will not justify the chances you .are taking when conflicting with government edicts.

Beck braced his mighty shoulders as the whistle bley and fire glinted from his porcelalne-blue orbs, which denoted that C. Beck intended to emulate some of his brother's stunts. And he did. In precisely 30 seconds from the start Carl was reposing on the enemy turf behind the goal lines and Tony Wilsbach curved the pig skin neatly over the bar. game was divided into four quarters and the ball was in Tech's territory three-fourths of the time, and yet Lebanon was so determined that only two goals were registered. Once Frank broka away and ran forty yards to the goal, but Tech/ TeclVs offside play brought him back. Neither was Tech proficient in her forward pass stuff; also she fail ed on placement kicks, so there is great rdom'for improvement.

SPORTS Calls Out Six of the Crack Football Players For the Officers Training Camp Uncle Sam handed University of Pennsylvania an awful Jolt yesterday when he handed in a list of the stu dents accepted for the officers camp. A full dozen, either active in Red and Blue sports or with the manage ment were in the roster. > The exception is Alexander Farma kls, the football player, who is suf fering from an attack of pneumonia, which followed epidemic Influenza. His condition is said to be critical. Fnrmakis played end for two years at Central High School and also star red at center for one season. He en tered Penn last fall and earned a place on the freshman eleven. He wrfb counted upon to fill a 'varsity berth this year. The students who have been listed to go. other than Farmakis, are Harry Kellar, oarsman; Dick Supplee, Harold Kamerer, Red Ellson, Bill Wolfe and Sylvan Friedman, football players; Bill Beard and Harry Kobb, soccer players; Jack Stinson and O. M. Pollard, crew managers, and Dutch Peck, the star basketball guard. Earl Van Vliet, the editor-in-chief of the Pennsylvanian, also has been so'ected. All the students will go to Camp Gordon in the infantry school ex cept Supplee and Pollard. The former will enter the axtlllery school at Camp Taylor and Pollard will see service at Camp Hancock with the machine gunners. The loss of the six football men. Including Farmakis, is a severe blow to Penn's chances on the gridiron. The Lpe will be stripped of five ex cellent prospects, Supplee, Farmakis Ellson and Wolfe were virtually birv. of positions and Kamerer had a good chance of landlnK a regular Job. Friedman would have made a gcod second string back, as he was the fastest mad on the squad. Two Millersburg Men Die of Influenza at Camp MlUersbnrg. Pa.. Oot. 12.—Robert W.
