    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

pungent scent of autumn leaves, the
golden glow of autumn sunsets and
the soft, cool, soothing zephyrs start

my life to save that of my dog. He

which will inculcate a higher rever

happy days of boyhood, when we felt
that school should be made a secon

should supplant study. Memory is a
wonderful gift, living in the past a

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. "Dad" Green, George Bil

MONDAY EVENING,

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. Play was dis- j
continued in order that the spec
tators and players might follow the |

our dead ducks out for decoys, hid

came volplaning into the decoys. I

made a long fall into an adjacent
slough, crashing through the ice when]
he struck. My old dog started to re- |

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

cracking of oars in those open locks. ;
Pome one was coming. We yelled
for help. It was my friend Frank El

back into our boat nnd push up on the

watching our every move while mak

Warriors of W. & J. Crash
Through Camp Sherman Defense
Reports from Washington, Pa., to
day say the W. and J. rooters are
elated at Saturday's victory over
Camp Sherman, 68-0. Coach Hutchin
son is pleased not so much by the
68 points his men made as by the de
velopment of team work and_ prac
tically by the showing made "by his
backs.
•In Trimbur, Frazier and Bell appar
ently he has picked up three of the
best prospects in years. Trimbur es
pecially showed good work yesterday
and is rated a real comer. Hutchin
son expecte to have Captain Henry,
Rally and Tresset, all in the lineup
for next Saturday, these veterans be
ing three of the four stars from last
year.
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.

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

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

V. Swanton, of the Thornburg Gun '
Club, and I#. C. 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

catch a duck, throwing him sir.fl his

both of them were good swimmers,

( 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

the hunters speckled bellied goose,
occur in California during the winter

been heretofore recognized.
The new "tide goose" or "timber

by its greater size, its call notes, its
browner tints, its yellow eye ring and
the possession of a greater number of
tail feathers. To any one "handling

FTO Motor Truck
Drivers
Pennsyrvania should save s,ooo,ooogallons of gas
oline during the months of October and November,
for the immediate use of the Army and Navy.
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.
The conservation of 5,000,000 gallons of
gasoline• will make a total saving of
. $1,400,000, thus making more money avail
able for Liberty Bonds.
