TO WIPE OUT ATHLETICS IN SHIPYARDS; TECH, GUIDED BY COACH SMITH, PLAYS GAME Tech Tamed Tome Terrors; Coach Smith Smiled, Rumor Talk about Marshal Foch and all the other strategists— how about this foxy coach for Tech High foot ball, one Smith? Too bad, they did not have him over there right now; Tie would tie the Huns up in a run ning bowline kn'ot and shoot them to Berlin with a forward pass. When Tech arrived at Port De posit bright and early last Saturday the yahoos of that burg spread all the coin they could dig up on the home—er—that is, the home team. "Treat 'ent rough" was the word passed to the home warriors, who began to have some fear as soon as Carl Beck hove in view with his corrugated neck, which suggests an old-fashioned piano leg. When taps sounded it was found that Carl had been fairly active; but for that mat ter, every Tech player was a hero, wlth the result that the tally totaled (>7-0. Tech is getting so used to these lopsided scores that it will be a blow when some one heads her off. heave that to Coach Smith. Mr. Smith is emotional only when some one makes a poor play, this being his cue to bite through a reli able cigar, while the ruby-red coun tenance turns violent crimson, his eyes suggesting two violets in a bucket of blood. It is not very, har monious for the athlete who' sets Coach Smith on edge in this fash ion. The Tech boys have discovered this and so on Saturday they showed vast improvement, of the seven at tempted forward passes live being perfected. Aggressive tactics was the point aimed at by Smith in the last two weeks' practices. He felt pretty certain the line would hold, and It did on Saturday. Not only did this "Them Were the Days ' When T. Marshall Had Doggonedest Adventure Ever A man's best friend is his dog. Would you take a long chance on your own life to save your hunting dog and companion'.' Sentiment and affection in conjunction with a boy's lack of caution and discretion caused me to lake the hazardous chance on thin ice to save my dog. He was my unselfish friend and never wavered in liis love and devotion. He would sleep with one eye half open that 1 might not get out of his sight. We hunted to gether in upland pastures, when the pungent scent of autumn leaves, the golden glow of autumn sunsets and the soft, cool, soothing zephyrs start ed quail and prairie chicken "read ing" in quest of food. We were in pursuit of those winged aces of tlx* air, when 1 was called upon to risk my life to save that of my dog.

This story is written especially for the present gen eration of boys, who are freighted with red blood and answer the call of the wild, boys who watch, read and study the stars as an aid to night 'fTaVel, who frequent the haunts of birds, animals and insects, that their habits and peculiarities may be not ed. Deductions will then be made, which will inculcate a higher rever ence and respect for the Great Crea tor. Many of us have passed the happy days of boyhood, when we felt that school should be made a secon dary consideration, when pleasure should supplant study. Memory is a wonderful gift, living in the past a source of unlimited pleasure. We guess our future, the past Is an open boox. Boyhood Days My boyhood days were passed in Keithshurg, 111., on the east bank of the Old Mississippi river, one of the best game sections in America, the mecca, where all conventions of duck dom were held. At that time the bag iimit was goverened by the amount of ammunition on hand and the accuracy of the hunter. A few warm days in early spring had honeycombed the ice, bayous had partially opened, and ducks had appeared in unlimited numbers.

Makers MONDAY EVENING, stone wall open up big crevices for the sturdy backs to plunge through, but it broke up many an enemy play, and the ball was in home territory two-thirds of the time. The game gave' Captain Ebner an opportunity to try out all the fancy stuff that had been worked on and he l4 over successfully. There was a rumor that' Coach Smith smiled after the victory. The tackling of Bihl and Hoerner, I long runs by Beck, Ebner and Win kle and the line plunging of Wils ' bach were the outstanding features jof the Tech victory. Johnson, Grtf i fin and Fredericks starred for Tome. One rather unusual sight took j place during the period of play. Air antics by one of the machines from the aviation school at Aberdeen held the -crowd's eye for some time. Within the last five minutes of play the aviator swooped cjose to the ground and caused the players' to scatter for shelter.

It was breaking day as we launched our boat and started across I the river. Several flocks of ducks | were noted dropping Into a bayou, in | the foot of Black Hawk Island. We j headed for that point, ducks were i pitching in without circling, a sure sign that they were accustomed to I "using" the pond. On a muflled oar I we landed, an old log lay about thlrty- I five yards from the slough, which I reached without discovery.

An old green head ] came volplaning into the decoys. I failed to lead him enough, the bird made a long fall into an adjacent slough, crashing through the ice when] he struck. My old dog started to re- | trieve. yell's to return were of no avail. 1 knew the ice would not hold his weight and the water. was deep. The ice gave way Just as he reached the duck. With every effort to crawl out on the ice he would slip back and dis appear under fhe water. My dog was drowning and must have immediate help. We attempted to pull our skiff; across the ridge, without success. Min ute& seemed hours. "We heard the cracking of oars in those open locks. ; Pome one was coming. We yelled for help. It was my friend Frank El iett. With his a'id we dragged our boat to the pond arfd out on the ice, which broke through with us at al most every step, we would then jump back into our boat nnd push up on the Ice, finally reaching my dog. who was watching our every move while mak ing his fight for life. I grabbed and pulled him irtto the hoat. he was ab solutely all in. Wrapping the dog in our coats we then headed for home.

Alf the men came out of the game in good shape and will be able to resume practice at once but there will not be likely any drill to-morrow. The game was played under favor able weather conditions. The field was fast and the W. and J. light, but speedy, backs tore through the Sherman team like a bunch of race horses. Fourteen points were regis tered by the Red and Black in the first period, 20 in the second, 27 in the third and seven in the fourth. The best display of defensive strength by tne visiting team was shown in tjie first period. The small score in the final quarter was due not so much to Sherman's increased resistance as to the fact that Washington and Jef erson had a team of substitutes in the game, many of them being third string players.

A recent issue of the Londort Gazette recorded that King George has- granted permission to Miss Henrietta Fraser to wear the Cross of the Legion of Honor and the Croix de Guerre conferred up on her by the President of the French Republic, to Miss Muriel Thompson to wear the .

St. Mary's Trimmed Tarsus The St. Mary's Catholic Club, of Steelton, opened Its football season Saturday by defeating: the Tarsus School of Gymnastics by a score of 24 to 2. The game was rough and tumble throughout the entire four periods. The crowd was interfering through the whole game and the St. Mary's boys had to use straight foot ball and a tew successful forward passes. HXRRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH Coach Glenn Warner, witnessed the game from the stands. Whether or not they were impressed by the strength of Hutchinson's men is uncertain, but it is evident that with the Red and Black speed and the improvement over the opening game two weeks ago with Indiana Normal a strong team will be sent to Forbes Field on November 9. Frazier, a Washington High School ! recruit, who had been practicing with ! the squad only 10 days, ran the Red and Black eleven as quaterback. It j was his first time under fire on a I college .gridiron, but Tie acquitted j himself. like a veteran. He ran the j team skillfully and scored two touch ! downs, both of them on long runs, one for 45 yards. Trimbur the Star The star of the game from a scoring j standpoint was Trimbur, a big lad ; from Niles, 0., formerly a line play j er, whom Hutchinson lias broken in as a back. He registered six touch- I downs, all in the first thr.ee periods, carrying the ball equally well through the line and outside the ends. He seemed irresistible in his attack, fre- I quently carrying the leather for long | gains without assistance, but more frequently running behind ' a solid | wall of interferen9e, for the team- I work of the Red and Black squad | was a phenomenal Improvement over i that shown two weeks ago. Fre quently Trimbur got away for long I gains, tearing himself loose from po posing tacklers and literally tramp ing his way through the soldiers' de fense." ' —^ Shipyard Games to Be Abandoned For Next Season Athletics in the shipyards of the country will be abandoned, accord ing to Charles Piez, vice-president \ind general manager of the Emer gency Fleet Corporation. "We Are going to concentrate as much of our attention as we can on making ships after this," de clared Mr. Piez. "The men have been diverted too much, I am told by labor leaders, and the men themselves complain that they are led to waste too much time in getting ready for athletic events and too much time in recovering from them. "I always have favored athletics in moderation, but the kind of pro fessionalism we have had serves no useful purpose. It has become now only a question of who can pay t)ie highest salaries to a fey stars. I feel safe in saying that the same conditions will not ex ist next year."

Euker, the Tarsus fullback, was referee and walked off the field In the second quarter after a dis pute on a delayed forward pnv which netted the Steels a gain of about 30 yards. Coach Krasovic, also right halfback, had his team' going in fine condition so that a few scratches to his players resulted from the rough work. \ Princeton Rowing Is in Full Swing Princeton, N.

Brink, a prominent j hunter and oil operator of Bradford, Pa., returned Saturday from their hunting trip to Allan Water, Ontario, bringing back with them two large moose. The one shot by L. C. Brink had horns with a spread of 55 inches being the largest moose killed this season, if not the largest killed for a long time. The one shot by Dr. Dat imore was not so large, but the doc tor said it was large enough for him. Dr. Swanton was not so fortunate, although he saw several but was not 'close enough to take a shot at them. The hunters report the country to be very wild. The weather was so warm they hunted in their shirt sleeves. It appears they went a little too early to accomplish much. There are no ducks in that vicin ity, which is one of the game they .wanted outside of the moose. They 'also report a large number of deer ' in that section. ! The Hunters had a narrow escape | one day when Dr. Swanton's canoe upset yhile the doctor was trying to catch a duck, throwing him sir.fl his guide into the lake, but fortunately both of them were good swimmers, and outside of a good wetting no harm was done.

( New Goose Species Found in California Son Francisco, Cal. A new goose has been discovered in California. Ac cording to a paper written by H. S. Swarth and Harold C. Bryant, of the University of California, two well defined subspecies of the white-front ed gqose ((Anser alblfrons), called by the hunters speckled bellied goose, occur in California during the winter months, where but a single race has been heretofore recognized. The new "tide goose" or "timber goose" Is distinguished from its rela tive, the common white-fronted goose, by its greater size, its call notes, its browner tints, its yellow eye ring and the possession of a greater number of tail feathers.

Your Share of This There are approximately 30,000 commercial cars in operation in the state. If you drivers will stop your motors during idle periods and .when your trucks are standing at the curb, you will contribute nearly half the total or 2,250,000 gallons Think what that means! What a simple, easy thing it is for you to do! But what vast and far reaching results it has! Surely Pennsylvania can count on her truck drivers to do their share! Passenger car owners by conservative driving—saving a gallon a week—will add to the saving 3,soo,ooo'gallons. Regular tourists by giving up their trips this fall will swell the total by another 500,000 gallons. And Pennsylvania will once more come through with a record at home fully in keeping with the untarnished record of her sons in France. This movement means much to truck owners.
