HEAVY SALE OF TICKETS FOR TURKEY DAY GAME BETWEEN TECH AND STEELTON HIGH
Turkey Day Battle Big Job
For Cockill's Steelton Team
To say that Tech is High school'
champion of Pennsylvania tells but
half the story. Experts who look the
teams all over are confident that
Harrisburg Tech could lick anything
in this broad land of her class. And
that she could take care of the aver
age college team is a Certainty. No
one in these regions ever saw such a
perfect machine, and what George
Cockill will be able to do with such
proficient athletes next Thursday, is
making every tongue wag. Cockill
has a way of handing out unexpect
ed jolts, and he may spring one on
Turkey Day, but it will take some
magic.
The results of games this year is
so vastly different that one can
hardly see how Steelton can make a
goal, for she has only scored 32
points so far against her enemy's
93, while Tech has busted all rec
ords with a total of 381' against her
foe's nteasely 3. This shows it:

St. Mary's Keen to
Meet Tech or the
Aviation Huskies
The manager of St. Mary's Catholic
Club team at Steelton sent a chal
lenge to-day to Tech.High and Mid
dletown Aviation for a game on Sat- I
urday at Cottage Hill, the receipts of
which are to be given to the Bed
Cross. The manager said that if It
were not agreeable for either of these,
teams to go there that St. Mary's
would jog to the other's home field.
If this Saturday is not convenient St. |
Mary's is willing to take on the foe
some later date and he thinks inas
much a Tech trimmed the Aviators
that the latter team should respond.
No reply to the challenge! had been
received to-day up to noon.

Pittsburgh Pipe Dream
Caused Change in
Baseball Rules
Many a baseball fan lias been
• puzzled to understand why only
i the umpire was formerly allowed
to .open a box of balls. The real
story Is now to be told by the man
who made the rule and runs as
follows:
Pittsburgh and Boston were
billed for an important series back
j in 1593. George Moreland, then an
official of the Pirates, kept the
boxes of balls in a safe and had
exclusive charge of them.
One day for an experiment he
took all but one of the balls and
put them on ice. He didn't remove
the cover or break the seal.
The next afternoon, the day of
the big series, he went up to A 1
Buckenberger, the Pirate manager.
"Al, I had a dream last night," he
said. "I dreamed that Nichols was
pttchingYof the Beans and that we
went to bat first. Smith singled.
Donovan saerifled and Steneel
singled, scoring the only run of
the game. We went to bat first,
see? That's my hunch."
Buckenberger thought a mo- |
ment, then said: "I'll follow that |
tip to-day. There's nothing in
the rules against the home team i
batting first."
"Now, remember," cautioned ]
Moreland. "Tell the boys I dream
ed that Smith singled, Donovan l
sacrified and Steneel singled: Then |
that Jake Beckley fouled the ball
over the fence. It won't come true
unless it is all followed."
Pittsburgh went to bat first,
much to surprise of the fans, and
v \jl>re*in# tiflksecJPout the only ball
'that hadn't been placed on Ice.
The umpire tore off the cover and
threw it to Nichols, who was the
j pitcher as Moreland had dreamed. '
"I'll never forget that game,"
! laughed Moreland. "Everything
i came out exactly as I had dream
| ed. Smith cracked the pill for a
| single and Donovan sacrificed."
! Smith scored when Steneel crash
ed a single.
"Jake Beckley, always good at
fouling them off, lost the ball over
the stand and I thfew one of the
Iced balls out to the umpire. It
was encased in its separate box
and cover, so nobody suspicioned
anything.
"Several of the balls were used
before the battle was over. They
were like punk. It was all but
impossible to drive them past the
1 Infield. The inflelders of both
sides certainly were kept busy on
assists. •
"Under the conditions nobody
could get a run and the game end
ed with Pittsburgh victor, 1 to 0.
Everybody was howling about
the balls,'but they looked all
right. Cqvers were on and the
seal unbroken.
"It wasn't till long afterward
j that my secret came out and then
| a rule was passed making such a
' proceeding Impossible In the fu
! turc. Some dream, I claim."
Germans Wipe Out All
But Few of New Jersey
Regiment in Last Days
By Associated Press
Passaic, N: J., Nov. 26.—Details of
the desperate fighting In the Argonne
in the closing days of tho war were
contained in a letter from Lieutenant
Giover P. Heinzman, of a New Jersey
Regiment.
"Our regiment went into battle Oc
tober 12," Heinzman wrote, "and only
a few of us are left to tell the tale.
French soldiers tell us it was the
Worst slaughter of the war. .
"Twice I stopped to bandage
wounded men and both times the
Bochcs .shot them again, killing one
who was lying across my lap. On
another occasion a wounded-man was
carrying another who was more se
riously wounded when a. German
sniper killed them, both.".

"Steelton Team Is "
Says Correspondent
With a record score of 381 points
in Six contests, Tech will play what
may be the tinal contest of the sea
son when the Maroon lines up
against Steelton Thursday for the
Thanksgiving contest. Tech is pick
ed to win, but because of the nu
merous cancellations, Steelton's abil
ity is not well knowrv CockiU's clan
made at least one good showing
when they went to Williamsport re
cently and played a 7 to 7 tie with
the Lycoming cbunty lads.
There has been considerable talk
about post-season contests, but it is
likely that the linal game will be the
Steelton battle. Greensburg can
celed because of the epidemic, and
then according to reports, took on
an easier team. If these reports,
current among the Tech students,
are true, it was a poor piece of
sportsmanship on the part of the
westerners. Tech took its beating
when Greensburg was state cham
pion, and the team was now anxious
to even up the past records.
Then there has been talk of play
ing a champion from some other
state. But where is there a' team
in the state .of New Jersey that Is
Sufficiently strong to make the trip
to Harrisburg for the championship?
Tech will pay the guarantee, "and
has the eleven, but no one to play.
"All dressed up, and no where to
go," summarizes the situation.
Then the -Middletown Aviators are
mentioned for another contest. Of
course they would put up a good
strong game against Tech. But Tech
defeated them on their own grounds
several weeks ago by four 'touch
downs. These soldiers are men,
with more brawn and age than the
Tech boys. So why should life and
limb be risked against the heavier
men, when Tech ctyi well rest on its
present laurels?
There may be lots of talk, but
chances are that if you want to see
the Tech team 4w; H<Wt>n,>;jou had
better reserve a seat at Messer
smlth's for the Steelton game on
Thursday. Tech has a champion

Bowie, Md., Nov. 25. —Bowie'S Red
Cross day raised just $4,653 for the
greatest of the charities. This sum
represented the total admissions,
just 2,890 men and 300 women, em
ployes included, paying to witness
the running of a clever program. No
complimentary badges of any kind
were recognized, and the amount
raised through the generosity, of the
Southern -Maryland Agricultural As
sociation eclipsed that obtained on
Red Cross day at any Of the New
York tracks.

it 'omelike, ma'am;" was the reply
of an English wife when asked why
she did not try tp keep her hus

up the parlor carpet and sprinkled
sawdust on the floor, and put a beer
barrel in the corner. But, lor',

The Hershey Olive basketball team
would like to arrange games for

The St. Mary's Catholic Club of
Steelton, champions of Dauphin

Thanksgiving day. Address com
municationss to Bell phone 104-W,

It seems a shame that the champs
of the county should go gameless
on Thursday.
It takes these old Judges to hand
out a wallop, meanwhile looking
solemn as a crutch. The Youth's
Companion tells of a long-winded
lawyer who finally apoiogized: "I

duly trespassing upon the time of

"My friend." observed the judge,
"there is considerable difference be
tween trespassing on time and en
croaching on eternity."
St. Louis, Nov. 25.—Phil DeC. Ball,
president of the St. Louis American
League Baseball Club, said to-day
that he had not indorsed the pl*n
of Harry Hempstead, of the New
York Nationals, and Harry Frazee,
of the Boston Amorlcans, to have
former President W. H. Taft serve
as "a one-man national commission-
team, and the other high school
teams know it. They knew it last
year, and quite a few squirmed in
order not to play Tech. They said
that their schedules were tilled.
Hats off to Lebanon. They are a
game bunch, and did not seek to
avoid a game with Tech. They took
their medicine gamely. But Read
ing squirmed. So did
Lancaster has been a four-flusher
for years. They contract to play
baskqtball and football contests, and
if there is no material on hand,
they cancel. They blame it on their
gymnasium.
Going south we come to York.
\ With a co-educational high school
of "many over 1,000, those poor fel
lows don't have enough backbone
and gumption to have a football
team. A city that boasts of once
having been temporarily the capital
of the United States, can not have
a football team. Satisfied to take
their fall exercise by spending a
week at the York county fair.
Then there is Altoona. They say
that the Mountaineers are still try
'ing to dig themselves out of that
117 to 0 snowdrift of last fall.
Well, when the list of high schools
is scunned, with whom Tech ought
to play, and with whom Tech did
play when the student body was 100,
there is not much left. We said fare
well to Coach Yiengst and Mt. Car
mel on their last trip here. Tech
wants to keep her athletics out of
the prep school class. Tech is a
four-year boys' high school. But
one team that Tech always de
pend upon is Steelton. Game to the
core, these Blue and White players
tight back with courage, and just
last, year won out over Tech when
the odds were against them. Day

one of the best leaders Steelton ever
had. Watch out for Steelton' Thanks
giving! She did It before.
er," He said he had received a tele
gram signed by Frazee and Hemp
stead, asking him to wife Mr. Taft
his approval.
"I did not wire him," said Mr.
Ball. "I think Mr. Taft has the
flpest judicial mind in the country
and is in all respects a great man.
But I object to having Messrs. Fra
zee's and Hempstead's plans wished
on me in any such offhand manner.
Frazee has no authority from any
one to submit such a proposition on
behalf of the American League. Un
til the league meets and discusses
.uny plan it obviously has no official
standing. Any changes of policy will
be effected at the league's meeting
early in December."
Pittsburgh, Nov. 25.—Lieutenant
Joseph Duff, former all-Amerlcan
football guard and a noted gridiron
star of many seasons, was killed
in action in France, Octobei* 10, ac
cording to word just received here
bj latlves. Lieutenant Duff was a
g .mate of Shadyside Academy here
and in 1912 he graduated from
Princeton, in the same year being'
named an ail-American guard. He
coached the Princeton 'Varsity team
that fall and the University of Pitts
burgh elevens of 1913 and 1914.
Lieutenant Duff went to France
as a private in a machine gun com
pany and got in action October 1.
He was promoted to corporal, then
sergeant, and later was graduated
from the Army candidate school and
given his commission.

The severe treatment of Saturday
from Penn has so crippled Swarth
-1 more that her victims fill one whole
wtng of the hospital. Gardner, the
quarterback, who has been in a
rather serious condition on account
of concussion of the brain, has re
gained consciousness, and is improv
ing. Hewell, right end, and acting
captain of the team, is confined to
quarters with a badly bruised hip.
Earp, Chandler and Walker are
hobbling about on crutches as a re
sult of various knee and ankle in
juries. .
Much excitement has been gene
rated on the campus by the newspa
per report hat Penn's second touch
down Saturday was Illegal. It is
generally realized, however, that
since no protest was made at the
time the decision will have to stand,
although every Swarthmorean be
lieves the little Quakers were the
rightful victors.
Maueh Chunk, Nov. 25. —Deer are
reported being plentiful in this coun
ty. They are said to overrun grain
llelds, approach barns and seem
quite domestic. County Detective
Daniel Thomas, who made a trip
through Penn Forest, this county,
yesterday, says he saw three deer,
which passed within thirty feet of
where he stood.

Lid Lifted
From Building
, T*HE decision of the Council of NaJtional
Defense at Washington to lift the ban on
building operations will be responded to in
Harrisburg as well as in other communities.
The federal restrictions have found this city, and
many others, unable to provide the housing facilities
needed to accommodate the greatly increased number
of workers due to the great industrial activities.
We have had to makeshift in many ways, to provide
housing for our people, the restrictions being such as
have made it impossible even to reconstruct old build
'ings. The result has been congestion in many quar
ters.
Now that the war is over there will be an unpre
cedented demand for all kinds of building material.
In the United States 600,000 buildings are required.
Millions of houses are needed in Europe.
Begin to build now before the rush Ltarts.
We are prepared to give you figures on any
amount of lumber.
