with a ten-gauge shotgun loaded with
about four and one-half drams of

Says a Lancaster dispatch: "Three

Franklin and Marshall Varsity eleven
this afternoon when the athletic
faculty discovered the men were not
students at the college. %
The men played against Lafayette
last Saturday as bona fide Blue and
White students. The committee de
clared that the playing of the men
on the varsity was an oversight and
not known to the committee. The
coach has not given his version of the
affair although it is thought that he
was aware of the standing of the
men.
The faculty's move means the shat
tering of the team. The men were
the backbone of the outfit. Melling

Chatsworth, N. J.. Nov. 23. Accord

Warden Morton, eighty-two deer were
killed in Burlington county during

This is the best record nado within

Lewistown Army Officer
Home From War Front
Lewistown, Pa., Nov. 23. Lieu
tenant John Milton Reed has re
turned from the war front in France.
He was met at Lewistown Junction
by a few friends. He sailed from
France November 10 and learned
by wireless that peace had been de
clared, while he was on the ocean.
He sailed from the United States
on Mav 10. Many of his comrades
in the 39th United States Infantry
fell while they were at the front
line of battle. Once, while lying
down, a piece of shell struck his foot,
tearing a hole in his shoe and mak
ing his foot very sore and at another
time a shrapnel ball struck the un
der side of the rim of his helmet,
making a dent in it and glancing
off. He and- five other officers were
sent as instructors to camps on this
side of the Atlantic.
Pitt Is Favorite
Over Georgia Tech
Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 23.—The
Georgia Tech team arri'ved last
night in charge of Coaches Heis
man and Wood, besides several
members of the Athletic Com
mittee of the school and are domi
ciled at the William Penn Hotel.
Visitors were kept away from
them last night and they were
kept in their rooms, in order to
rest themselves v after the long
ride from Atlanta. Johnny Heis
ntan was full of confidence, al
though the betting had his team
on the under price. Some bets
of ten to six were laid and later
ten to eight was offered, the Pitt
adherents pulling in their horns
a iittlc at the sight of Tech
money.
Coach Warner gave his men
their last workout, which was
light, of course satisfactory to the
Old Fox, who stated last night
that he was confident of his men
going the limit to win to-oay's
game. They do not fear any
thing from the next two games
—Penn Sfate, on Thanksgiving,
and the Sailors at Cleveland next
Saturday—and therefore will go'
into the Tech gnme determined
to "do or die" in their efforts to
keep Warner's victory slate clean.
They showed yesterday that they
had ail his plays well defined in
their minds and no mistakes are
looked for to-day. It ,'s likely that
fewer penalties will be imposed
on them than has beta the case
in tho previous games, because
Warner has been particular in his
instructions regarding offside play
and holding tactics that marred
their work against W. & J. and
Pennsylvania.
It will take mounted police to
keep the crowds off the Held of
play tVday and the largest crowd
that ever assembled at Forbes
Field to witness a football gamo
will be' there, rain or shine. The
weather indications are for clear
and cold, but the ground will be
soggy.

Tech and the Academy
In Football Here Today
The cancelling of George Cockill's
Steelton team in its game with Get
tysburg High school left two pig-skin
battles to be witnessed here this
afternoon, Tech vs. Williamson Trade
School, of Philadelphia, and Acad
emy vs. Gettysburg Prep. School.
The prospects were for a hard game
at the Island, but the same was pre
dicted of . other frays and the foe
discovered that Tech was powerful
enough to put up an even score
with, perhaps, any college team.
The fact that Williamson has not
lost a game was not particularly
significant, and yet this fact made
the contest more exciting. The line
up given out to-day was: •
Tech. Williamson.
(Bell) Heebner, I.e.
Arnold, l.t. Reed, l.t.
Peirter, l.g. Yocurn, l.g.
(Conner) Koons, c.
Bihl, c. (Captain)
(Garrett) McCoy, r.g.
Frank, r.t. Wilson, r.t.
Turkey Day Tech Card Will
Be a De Luxe Production
One of the features of the big
Thanksgiving game between Tech
and Steelton will be the souvenir
programs designed and arranged by
Professor J. F. ltees, of the Tech
nical High School. The programs
will contain every bit of available in
formation concerning the two teams
front A to Z. The Blue and White
of Steelton is blended harmoniously
with the Maroon and Gray of Tech.
The cover is gray, and on the front
are two pennants flaunting the school
colors.
Instead of being filled with adver
tisements, the program is chock-full
of records of the two teams for this
season, as well as the lineups, with
the age, height, number of yeuts on
the team and weight of each player
in the two squads.
Pictures of the two teams, as well
as photos of the personnel of the
directors of the two teams, including
the managers, coaches and faculty
directors, help to make the program
the neatest ever distributed over on
the Island.
School songs, as well as cheers,
also are given a prominent position.
Officials, pictures of the two captains,
all are there. While Central will
not have a part in the big struggle
this season, space is also reserved for
the uptown institution. Purchasers
of the souvenirs may read of some
of the school activities at Central
now in vogue with the fair ones of
llarrisburg. Tech and Steelton share
honors when it comes to depicting
school life in the other pages of thfe
booklet.
All in all. it is cleverly arranged,
and contains just the data that the
lover of scholastic football dotes
upon. To go to the game without
one of these souvenirs for yourself
as well as for "her" would be spoil
ing most of the afternoon's pleasure.
Financial Director Rees has ordered
a limited number printed, and the
supply is not likely to Inst long. It
will be a case of "first come first
served."

FARMER COMMITS SUICIDE
LewisUmn, Pa., Nov. 23. Wil
liam Youtzy, a well-known farmer
of Longfellow, aged 68 years, com
mitted suicide early yesterday morn
ing by placing a shotgun against his
head and sending it off by the use
of a shingle. Since last summer
he had been suffering with ill health,
due to rheumatism and stomach
trouble.
He did not appear at breakfast
at the usual hour and his wife, hear
ing a shot, called in several neigh
bors and going to the attic they
found Mr. Youtzy dead in a pool of
blood. The back of the man's head
was entirely blown away. The gun
lay over his body and in his right
hand was clutched a shingle with
which he operated the trigger of the
gun. One loaded shell was still In
the barrel of the gun. He lived on
a big farm and had planned to give
up farming next spring on account
of ill health. He is survived by his
wife and several children.

Penn Seeks Revenge
on Swarthmore Today
j Rarely In the realm of football
does a team get the chance to re
venge itself on a conqueror the
same season. To Penn falls this
j chance this afternoon, with Dr.
Roy Mercer's Swarthmore eleven
attempting for the second lime
this season to put over a victory
against Penn at Franklin Field.
; Last time, on' November 2, the
Utile Quakers obliged as an elev
enth-hour substitute for Lafay
i ette.and upset the dope by trounc
' ing the Red and Blue 20 to 12.
With this great feather ii) their
cap. the Garnet eleven has every
' thing to lose and a good bit to
gain this afternoon, but this time
will be present with their whole
student army to back them up,
instead of the handful that suc
ceeded, including the authorities
on the former occasion. With
Haverford out of football, the
Swarthmore traditions for the
i season have named to-day's bat
tle as the year's big game, and
| their efforts will be in no Way
less hearty than on the former
occasion.
This makes tlsem real oppo
nents, for their backfleld Is com
posed largely of the strongest
. football material there was In
; Philadelphia schoolboy football
| last season, namely, Nick Carter,
Northeast' High hero, and Johnny
| Earp, for several years the indi
l' vidual star performer for Epis
copal Academy. The other two
I members, Geiges and Stow, hail
j from Camden, so the visiting
| team, oddly enough, will be more
! of a*local aggregation than the
| Penn outfit) most of whose cogs
I came fTom other localities.
