CITY FLOCKS TO OGLE TECH DEFEND STATE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
"Johnstown Will Do Well
to Hold Tech Under Forty
Points," Says Lebanon Critic
i A Lebanon contemporary has this
y to say about the Tech eleven:
"The Lebanon team has no excuse
to make for their poor stand on Sat
urday. Harrisburg has defeated
Tome School 67-0 in Baltimore; Belle
t'onte Academy 94-0, and William
son Trade, the undefeated team of
Philadelphia, was licked 100-3 by
Harrisburg. These teams are all
strong preps and Lebanon High need
not worry.
The News has kept in touch with
football all over the country for
twenty years and will state that Har
risburg can defeat any college in the
state, excepting, of course Pitt and
Penn State. We do not except Lafay
ette, Bucknell, Lehigh, W. and J„
Swarthmore or Penn's weak team. A
well-known official who has worked
five times on Franklin field this year
and also on other college gridirons
said after the game that Harrtsburg
is the heaviest and strongest team
AROUND THE BASES
MY LITTLE WKT HOMli IN THE
TRENCH
(Written on the firing line.)
Tve a little wet home In the trench
Which the rainstorms continually
drench.
Blue sky overhead,"
Mud and clay for a bed
And the stone that we used for a
bench.
Bully beef and hard biscuits wo chew,
It seems years since wo tasted a stew;
Shells crackle and acaro
But no place can compare
With my little wet home In the
trench.
Our friends In the trench all the way
Seem to know that we've come hero
to stay;
They rush and they shout
But they can't get us out.
Though there's no dirty trielc they
don't play.
Thoy rushed us a few nights ago.
But we don't like intruders, and so
Some departed quite sore.
Others sleep evermore.
Near my little wet home in tho
trench.

State College, Pa., Dec. 7.—Penn
V State Alumni were shocked to-day
when they learned of the death of
Larry Yorhls, one of the greatest ath
letes who has worn the Blue and
White. He died last Sunday at his
home in Wilkes-Barre, following an
attack of influenza. He was 30 years
old. Vorhis entered Penn State with
the class of 1910. coming from the
High School of Commerce, of New
York City. For four years he was
a brilliant quarter-back on the State
College football eleven, and for the
same period played a sterling game
as catcher on the nine. He was presi
dent of his class in his senior year.
In 1909 he was chosen for all-Ameri
can football honors,\ and In 1911
coached the Wesleyan College eleven.
A Baker Untversity girl attending

right—he's just as mean as any
boy."—Kansas City Star.
"Drinking liniment by mistake, Pat
rick Loftus, Bethlehem, died in a
few minutes." Better this than slow
death on the Harrisburg brand.
This from the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
showing how Tech puts the Capitol
city of the map: "To Harrisburg
Tech virtually belongs the high school
championship of the state. Only three
points were scored on Tech all sea
son, and In that game the Harris
burg boys piled up 100 points on Wil
liamson school. Lebanon High, which
laid claim to the Eastern Pennsyl
vania scholastic title, was beaten. 73
to 0. Beck, left halfback, brother of
the former Penn State fullback, was
the star of the team. In almost every
game he took the ball on the first
play after the kick-off and went
through the entire team for a touch
down."
"I do not look for such a big sea
son next suffimer," says Dreyfuss,
"because the troops will be coming
home and there will be more or less
confusion while the country is
scrambling back to a peace basis,
but I believe the game will flourish
and In 1920 we should see a real sure
enough revival."
Mobile, Ala., Dec. 7.—Because of the
failure of the Alabama Drydock and

at the plant here to-day. The com

anon High would look good against
many of the colleges.
"Everyone In the Harrtsburg line
up Is a star. Befck, Lingle, Hlnkel

and will Induce the participation In

No effort will bo made to cater to
the "star athlete" or to develop phe

Schedules will bo shortened In
every brunch of sport, except possibly
truck athletics and towing, nnd the
number of coaches small. In most
brunches of sport only one member
will be. allowed. In football, perhaps,'
a head and an assistant coach may
be appointed. Extravagances of nil
kinds, particularly In tho training
tables, Will be abolished.
Now athletic events, notably thoao

Keep Uncle Sam Ready, Demands
Tom Marshall, and Live Outdoors
WAS the world war a national
physical blessing? In answer
to the above query, attention
is directed to any young man of your
acquaintance, returned home from
active service abroad- or the training
camps, where Uncle Isam has for any
period of time been acting us his
physical director. Note your friend's
erect carriage, elasticity of step and
grace with which his every move is
freighted: his clear eye, ruddy com
plexion and ability to endure violent
or fatiguing exercise or service hard
ships. He has returned a real hon
est-to-John American soldier, pos
sessing all requisites.
The American people now have
different Ideas of ideals. Indoor
weaklings, with manicured nails, an
acquired vocal drawl, with a decided
tendency to slide through life by
climbing the old family tree, whose
only acquired right to live, reproduce
and grow was an accidental dropping
of fertile financial seed in produc
tive soil at some period In the past.
The tree's growth is now retarded
and stunted to the, extent that those
nonessential family members in this
busy world are able to reach the
lower limbs, climbing to a position
of social safety, unnoticed by the
common or industrious element, they
have now by the conscription or
draft route been brought back to
earth.
The wearing of a khaki suit has
been a social equalizer and a caste
eliminator. Ijnngincd social differ
ences, entertained by the ultra-high
brows. arc now unpleasant memories
to be forgotten by those who by as
sociation have been converted Into
red-blooded citizens, their true latent
manhood has been brought to the
surface and developed. A social and
physical awakening has been experi
enced. Statistics show that we have
lost 36,000 men. the flower of our
land, killed In battle. Our nation
as an entirety has been physically
rescued from a threatened deteriora
tlbn by the training and advanced
ideas of health. Intensively taught
our soldiers, a perpetual and lasting
benefit to the present and rising
generations.
We must hereafter be lead into
and reside in the open, inhale God's
uncanned ozone and experience those
nerve-soothing and health-promot
ing ground currents with which
Mother Earth is always freighted.
There is now a crying demand
from the populace for the creation
of a new cabinet position in Presi
dent Wilson's or his successor's Cab
inet. A representative whose duty
will be the health-building of our
nation by promoting the outdoor
sports und athletics, rounding into
physical perfection our lads and
lassies. Agriculture, war, mines,
labor, industries and many other
angles now have promoters in the
President's official family. If success
is to come to nny of the above prop
ositions, it will be due to the efforts
of those physically and menta'ly able
to force them to a successful finish.
"Che extended benefits of health have
oen overlooked and neglected by
