BUCKNELL-GETTYSBURG BATTLE SATURDAY WILL DRAW BIG CROWD TO SEE LOCAL HEROES Tech Terrors Will Have Real Battle on Saturday When Manager "Bill" Fortna first arranged the Technical High school football schedule, all the contests were to have been played on the Is land with the exception of the Greensburg game at that place this coming Saturday. But the coming of the epidemic made games on the Is land an Impossibility, so that three of the first five have been played on foreign soil. But this fuct has not kept the Maroon stars from winning with regularity. They have captured five straight gamos and in not one has their goal line been crossed. De spite the short quarters, an average of 66 points has been tallied per game. Coach Smith will take his charges out to the Westmoreland county seat with two purposes in view. In the first place the eleven wants to win the contest. Secondly, they are out to avenge the first defeat in 1914 when Captain (Clarence Beck took his crack team out for their initial game and was trimmed 38 to 0. The feat was thought impos sible, and it was many a day before the Maroon followers recovered from the shock. But Greensburg had a champion of champions.

Fol lowing the 38 to 0 disaster, Greens burg came East In 1916, and In one of the closest games ever played on the Island trimmed Tech 7 to 0. In 1916 Tech went to Greenaburg and lost out 10 to 6. Last year Tech gave Greensburg their first defeat In five years when the local aggregation won by a score of 16 to 7. This com ing Saturday the local lads are sure of winning, only they want to win by a larger score than 38 to 0. A score like that seems impossible when Greensburg's records are perused. But Captain Ebner and his follow ers are sure that the trick can be turned, and the entire squad will be "out for gore" every minute of the play. Football was adjourned yesterday afternoon because of the kaiser's un expected trip to Holland. To quote Captain Ebner the former war lord is apt to "get in Dutch" in the land of dunes and dikes.

Georgia Tech through 1915, 1916 an 1 1917 played 25 ames, winning 23, losing none and tying two. It scored a total of 1129 points in those combats against 61 by its foes. Tech so far in 1918 has played Ave games—and won them all. In two of those contests it ran up pver 100 points. Pitt in 1915, 1916 and 1917 played—and won—26 games, scor ing a total of 762 points.

So the report goes as given by T. K. Tiffany, manager of the Stevens Trade school team. Tiffany, who called on the sport ing editor yesterday, stated that the team which played the Aademy Sat urday was a scrub bunch, or, de scribed in better language, "the Stev ens Trade school reserves." Tiffany .further alleges that the Saturday game was scheduled 'Friday noon, and that the "reserves" had but one small hour's practice before coming to this city. They believed they were to play a "practice game" with the Academy boy's. There is no doubt whatever that the Saturday gojne was little more than practice for Academy.

EMPERORKARL QUITS HIS THRONE [Continued from First Page.] has been rumored several times In past two weeks, but none of these reports has been confirmed. On Oc tober 29 it w*ns reported that he had fled to Vienna, but this report was denied by a Berlin newspaper, which said he was at tho Austrian capital on October 30 and that he had been cordially received by the people while going about the city. The most recent report in connection with Em peror Charles was received on No vember 2, when it was said he had announced his intention to abdicate. Emperor Charles I, of Austria, King of Hungary, was an unpromising major in an Austrian infantry regi ment when the shot of the assassin who killed tho Archduke Francis Ferdinand on June 38, 1914, made him the heir apparent to the*throne in the "Hawk's Castle" on the banks of the River Aar. 'Two hundYed or more monarchs of this historic house of Hapsburg ruled for centuries the land of Magyar, Slav and Teuton—centuries of blood shed, tyranny and aggression—and sleep their last sleep in the wonder ful crypt of the Capauchln Church in Vienna. Emperor Francis Joseph, NOVEMBER 12,1918. SO SHOCKED AT CLOSEUP ORDER HE LEAVES HIS FALSE TEETH ON BAR Joe Armenti Can't Use Crunchers With Two Gold Crowns, So Exhibit A Is Being Held For Return of the Owner "Close up!" Orders .of the Mayor!" It was precisely one minute, three seconds after 11 o'clock In the State Capital Hotel, In Walnut street, when a big, burly cop bounced in to make this announcement yesterday, and Proprietor Joseph J. Armento was somewhat startled, but not so much as a guest who was just in the act of gazing fondly at the bottom of a stein. "What's you say," cried the cus tomer in pained accents. ""'Goln' t' close up!" Such was his consternation that, with the cop, Joe and myriad guests gazing at him, he opened his mouth so wide that out dropped a complete top-set of false teeth. With a ring the aged predecessor of the youthful Charles, seeing "the handwriting on the wall," had hoped to unite the dis cordant elements among his 50,000,- 000 subjects whose racial antagon isms were complicated by the ab sorption by Austria of rf the Serbian provinces of Bosnia and Herzego vina in 1908. It was the Archduke Francis Ferdi nand's determination to bring about a triune empire up of Magyar, Slav and German states, It Is generally be lieved, that led to his assassination in Sarajevo. Francis Ferdinand fear ed the dual monarchy might be end ed upon the death of Francis Joseph by the Intervention of Russia or Ger many and sought thus to forestall It. Son of Archduke of Saxony Charles I was born August 17, 1887, the son of the late Archduke Otto, of Saxony. He married the Princess Zita of the Bdurbon house of Parma (Italian) in 1911. When the Nunc Dlmittls was sung for his dead grand uncle, the Emperor Joseph, the only achievements of Charles brought to public notice were that he was a keen sportsman, an excellent shot and mo torist. Frequently he was seen In the parks of Vienna wheeling one of his young dukes In a baby peram bulator. When he acceded to the throne on December 30, 1916, Austria- Hungary, torn by four years of war, saw the first faint gleam of possible peace. The course of the new ruler was regulated largely from Berlin and for the first six months of his reign Austria-Hungary was regarded as a mere German state. Hindenburg's successes in Galicia in 1916, in which Charles shared as a commander in the field, gave the young monarch a prestige which enabled him to hold the Austrians to the Central Powers until the collapse of Bulgaria and Turkey and the final crash. I'sed Famous Slxtus Better Numerous peace overtures and maneuvers characterized the diplo macy of the dual monarchy after Francis Joseph's death, precipitated doubtless by bread riots and other outbreakr throughout Austria. Un-j able to maintain his pledge to the German Emperor "to continue the war to the end" Charles made use of famous "Dear Sixtus" letter, an autographed missive written In /April, 1918. to Prince Sixtus de Bour bon for transmission to the French government in which the monarch said France's claim to Alsace-Lor raine was "justified." Although the letter was denounced as a "forgery" in Vienna, the Foreign office claiming it had been written by j Play Safe — Stick to KING OSCAR CIGARS I because the quality is as good as ever ii was.

"He's left part of his jaw here," shrilled Proprietor Armento. "No one ever did that before in-my place; they must be worth SSO. Who was he?" Nobody knew the visitor, and to day the guests of Joe's place were in deep meditation as to why the man has not come back to claim the crunchers. "I can't use 'em," said Mr. Armen to. "Mebbc they won't tit anybody else." Two bright gold incisors denote that the maker of the lost teeth aimed to make them look natural. a French ecclesiastic who had been acting as confessor to Empress Zita, subsequent events proved its authen ticity. It was the first revelation of the break betwfeen the German Emperor and his vassal king. Previously, Em peror Charles had indicated his de sire for peace, however. In •peeches before the Reichsrat. In December, 1917, he declared his willingness to conclude peace with the Allies if they Would guarantee the Integrity of Austria-Hungary. Conditions In the dual monarchy were rapidly growing worse. There were many cabinet changes and as sassinations. The Magyars, Czecho- Slavs and other nationalities were clamoring for constitutional reforms and autonomous government. Lot Not a Happy One Thereafter Charles' lot was. far from being a happy one. He was re ported to have refused to send Aus trian troops to the western' battle front despite the German Emperor's importunity. In every way he en deavored to stem the tide of revolu tion which seemed to be rising. He promised all kinds of reforms and as a sop to his discontented subjects pardoned twenty-four prisoners awaltifig trial at Sarajevo for high treason. On October, 1918 he announced plans for the Federalization of Aus tria-Hungary and in an address to the Hungarian Diet frankly admit ted his throne was in "peril." A day or twp later Count Karolyl. leader of the Hungarian republicans, announced the success of a bloodless revolution In Budapest and declared Hungary a free and Independent state. Still later the German and other provinces declared their pur pose to become autonomous entitles and the House of the Hapsburgs, once the leader of the Holy Roman Em pire, seemed to be about to collapse like a house of cards.
