PERCY GRUBB CHALLENGES TOLEDO FOR FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP OF WHOLE COUNTRY l_ ; Best School Football Team in America, Is Tech High i For the first time In the history of the city, Harrisburg 'was presented with the football championship of Fennsylvania when Technical High School walloped Johnstown High y School by a score of 76 to 7. So won derful was the team play of the Tech lads that spectators at the contest feel confident that Tech has the best team in America. The seven players on the line and the four in the back field shared equally In the honors. . If there is any preference at all, it must go to Carl Beck. This lad scor ed six of the eleven touchdowns, and more than once brought the specta tors to their feet with runs averag ing 50 to 80 yards. At the start of the second half, _ Reese's kick was caught by Beck on the Tech 20-yard line, and when the Maroon player stopped running, he was behind the Johnstown goal posts. It was the best play of the game. Beck also was adept at breaking up forward passes that came from the hand of Quarterback Reese. The local boy was not content to simply knock down the passes. Several times he caught the ball from out of the air with the same precision as a trained seal in a circus catches morsels of * fish between the acts. "Buddie" Lingle took the honor of being the first player to cross the vis itors' goal line this season. With eight yards to go, Lingle ripped through the line for the first six points. Going through the line "Bud die" looked as thin as a flounder, while once he had a start, he had the speed of a gazelle. "Tony" Wilsbach rammed the Johnstown line with the force of a pile driver, and on another occasion he snatched a forward pass from the air and converted it Into a six-point er for Tech. • The final member of the quartet in the baekficld was Captain Ebner. He j vas responsible for the headwork in running the eleven, and was not a bit selfish in letting the other three | teammates run with the ball when a j touchdown was in sight. In fact Bib- I per did not score until the final quar- I tor, although he tallied 10 out of 11 | goals from touchdown. Tech never had a better leader than "Eb." Coming to the line, the entire situ- ! iition is summarized when it is stated that Johnstown made but twd first downs from scrimmage during the j entire game. The line was a stone i wall, and when the visiting hacks j plunged against it, the visitors re- i bounded with much the same effect j as a tennis player running into the j net. "Vic" Bihl ut center proved the steadiest of passers, the ball always going to the right player and at the right height for the lad carrying the pigskin. Arnold and Lauster at guard, Frank and Peifer at tackle were the boys who broke up the shift play the visitors. And by the way, that Johnstown shift play was about as useful to the Flood City boys as shoe strings are Jinx Hung on to the •* ' Independents and They Fell For Ike.McCord The cross-eyed jinx kept after the Independents on Saturday night ar.d Ike McCord's Navy team won out at Chestnut Street Hall, 38-33. Jt was nip and tuck all the way, with Ike himself, doing marvels back in his home town and against the team he used to star on. Eddie Wallower did the same for the Independents, hut fate was against Harrlsburg once more. The summary: INDEPENDENTS LEAGUE IS. Wallower F Fritz Dingle F Trautwein Beck C McCord G.

Gettysburg High School Triumphs Over Academy Gettysburg, Pa., Dec. 9.—ln a hard fought game of football the higli school team defeated the Academy 1 team by the score of six to nothing. At no time during the game was the goal line of the high school boys in danger of being crossed, and while the high team scored only once they clearly outplayed their opponcrflts at all points. This Is the third consecu tive year that the high school boys have won the scholastic championship of the town. The lineup: \ HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMY Burger L. E Ovet'mlller Beard L. T Boyle Raymond L.

Some action to-night at the motive power athletic gymna sium, Seventh and Boyd streets, where the rlproaringest boxing tour nament of tho season will be stag ed. The hotcat fray is expected to be the six-rounder twlxt Joe Carson of Allentown and Battling Hudson, of Philadelphia. .

This scrap is looked forward too as one of the blfe ones of the night. The Pennsylvania Dutch are to MONDAY EVENING, | to a Chinaman, or a pair of ear muffs to a native of Florida. Tech's guards and tackles smothered the runner before he had a chance to start. Hoerner and Kohlman at end just simply did not let one play get by them. Not run of any conse quence was made around the Tech ilanks. A Tech team never looked or played better than did Tech against Johnstown Saturday afternoon, and not one person complained about the large score. The players followed the cue of the cheerleaders who lead in the yell, "We're out for gore." It was a wonderful machine that Tech presented. Harrlsburg says it can t be beaten. As for Johnstown, they must have left their heavy weights at home. The original Johnstown list sent to Tech showed a lineup that averaged 1(14 pounds. Half dozen players were In the neighborhood of six feet. It was their own data. But Johnstown was not only outplayed by Tech, they were outweighed. No team this year against Tech played with more dash, with the possible exception of Leb anon, than did Johnstown. When they were hopelessly beatsn they fought all the harder. They wore a game bunch and never gave up tnc tight. On the offense they had only one player who did anything at all, and he was Quarterback H"ese. Reese ran the team; Reese punted; Reese did much of the tackling; Reese scor ed the only touchdown made r.gainst Tech this season. To sum UP the situation, Reese was as useful to Johnstown, as chop sticks are to a Chinaman. In the third quarter a Tech back was given the ball for a tackle play. Coming In contact with other players, the collision knocked ihe pigskin from his arms. As it squirt ed along the ground, the nimble foot ed Reese snatched the oval and before Tech was aware of it, had scored the only touchdown made agaim.t Tech this year. It was a run of 40-yarils. It was a great contest and was witnessed by about 4,000 • people. Tech cheer leaders were on the Joo, and did splendid work. The summary: Engh L. E Hoerner Guffney L. T \rnold Griffith L.

Bight Out Loud By Associated Press New York, Dec. 9.—A caucus of National League club owners was held here to-day to discuss questions 1 which will come before the annual i meeting of the league to-morrow. | The meeting was attended by Presidents Hempstead, Ebbets and Baker, of the New York, Brooklyni; and Philadelphia clubs; Vice-Presi-V dent Jones, of the St. Louis Club, | and it was said representatives of Pittsburgh and Boston clubs also \ were present. It was the intention of the club owners to keep the meeting secret. The most important questions j taken up were the naming of a new ; National League president and the : candidate the National League will | support for chairmanship of the i National Commission. What' names were decided upon is not known, but several members who have con ferred with Acting President John Heydler, of the National League, re ported he is not anxious to hold the office of president permanently. August Herrmann, president of the Cincinnati club, and chairman oS the National Commission, was not present. It is understood that the caucus session went on record as favoring a neutral inun, with no financial interests in baseball, as commission chairman. This would eliminate Herrmann, unless he sev ered his connections with the Cin cinnati club and sold his stock. President Ebbets, of the Brooklyn club, said to-night the feeling in the National League is that a neutral should head the commission. "Mr. Herrmann has been a splen did chairman and has held the posi tion with honor for fifteen years," Ebbets suid, "but the National League wants to get away from the idea that it is the favored one on the commission and has two repre sentatives against only one for the American League. B'or that reason, we think a neutral chairman, with no financial interests in the game, would be a benefit to the sport. | Since this is a reconstruction period the league considers it a good time to make a change." The annual meeting of the Na-' tional League, to be held in New York, Tuesday, will be the first step in the direction of baseball recon struction, made necessary by the war. While a number of momentous problems confront the senior league magnates at this time, there is no evidence that a concerted program of action has been solved. Among the outstanding questions 'which must be considered by the club own- , ers is the election of a league presi dent, the future status of players r6- leased outright lust autumn. Nation al commission arrangements, playing plans for 1919, limitation or club rosters and many other items of routine business. j The election of a president to suc ceed John K. Tener, who resigned ' last summer, is expected to be one i of the first features to be consider- 1 ed by the magnates. So far as is known ut this time there is no fa vorite candidate. The names of four men have bqen mentioned in con nection with the position, but no one appears to have a majority of the eight votes back of his name. The quartet is composed of John A. Heydler, present secretary-treasurer of the league; Lieutenant David L. Fultz, former president of the Base ball Players' Fraternity; Francis X. McQuade, a city magistrate of JVew York, and Robert Brown, of Louis ville, Ky. Unless the various votes can be centered upon one of these men as a compromise candidate, there is the possibility of the election of a "dark horse," as was the case when Thom as J. Lynch was selected to succeed Harry Pullman. Secretary-Treasurer Heydler appears to be the logical man for the position, but it is un derstood that he is not particularly seeking the honor of league execu tive, being perfectly satisfied with his present Fultz, like Heydler Is an experienced baseball veteran, who knows the game from all angles and, in addition, has the advantage of legal training, having built up a successful law practice since he abandoned active professional play, following a severe accident while a member e* the New York Ameri cans. McQuade is a New York city magistrate, noted for his interest in baseball while Brown came Into baseball prominence several years ago when he was advanced as a candidate for Lynch's place by- Barney Dreyfuss and Garry Herr mann.

L. Grubb, of the Technical High school, sent a night letter yesterday to Glenn War ner, asking him to arrange for a championship contest next Saturday at Schenley Oval, between Tech and Toledo, Ohio, for the championship of America. At the same time Prof. Grubb wired Toledo challenging them for the honors. Saturday Toledo won from Marblehead High school by a 19 to 0 score. Harr.sburgers wonder why Toledo did not challenge Tech. It will now be up to Toledo to show its hand.

Advice to the Lovelorn I'ltlDE AND A ULARItEL DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have known a young man for two years and enjoyed his company im mensely. About four months ago we had a quarrel and parted. He tried to apologize, but I told him 1 would not accept any apology. During the last four months I did my utmost to forget him. But 1 found it impossible. 1 miss his friendship a great deal. I seem to think of him by day and dream of him by night. C. A. C. Unless the young man committed an offense for which no apologies will atone, which, 1 am sure, is not the case, I think it is time to forget your "pride." Since he did all he could to "make, up." and you find yourself be pendent on his friendship, don't you think it is a false shame that keeps you from restoring the former happy relationship? Don't • close your door to happiness. The world has none too much of It. POVERTY'S PROBLEM DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: 1 am 19, and have been going about witli a young man for about a year, and have received an engagement ring from him. I do not love him, but as I have no father and a poor mother, who can hardly support herself, I would like to ask your advice. My mother would Hke me to marry him. She says for a poor girl like me it is luok\to iind a young man with so line a character as his. But I do not love him/and feel that If 1 marry him I will not be happy. A GIRL IN DOUBT. I can understand your mother's wish to have you married to an admir able and well-to-do young man, but you should not do this until you are in love with him. At your ago you can of course be a help to you mother financially, rather than a bur den to. her. and you are quite right in hesitating to commit yourself to a marriage not based on love. Besides, life is hardly begun at 19. * Chaplain Who Won D. S. C. For Bravery in France FATHER.
