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

"You, gentlemen, know that we

ed that the Americans intended to

Lieutenant Van- Horn Wolfe, a

Lieutenant Wolfe played tackle on

Reports received by the Army and

the fact that many of the star play
ers who shone last season on the

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

count of the epidemic it is hard to
get men out for the various teams

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.

"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-

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

UNCLE SAM JOLTS
U. OF P. 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.
