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

home town and against the team he

the same for the Independents, hut

At no time during the game was the

clearly outplayed their opponcrflts at
all points. This Is the third consecu

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:

LEAGUE OWNERS
MEET SECRETLY
Not So Secret Though, For
Ebbetts Panned Herman
. 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.

Faculty Director Percy Grubb
Sends Challenge to Toledo, Ohio
' Faculty Director P. 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.
A dispatch from Marblehead,
Mass., to-day says: Scott High school
of Toledo defeated Marblehead
High school, 19 to 0, in an inter
sectional football game Saturday on
a field that had been cleared of five
inches of snow.
Marblehead players appeared ner
vous in the first and second periods
and the visitors, who were heavier
and better conditioned, were quick
to-take advantage.

BUGLER IS OUT
Collecting Bags Full of Waste
For the Nursery Home
All Over the City
✓
Beginning this morning collectors
started out to gather in the bags,
full of waste for the Nursery Home
which will sell the stuff to augment
their funds.
The merry sound of the bugle
brought the housewife to the door,
and besides bags full of rags, rub
ber and the like, there were many
articles too large to go inside, but
which will bring many a penny to
the good cause.
The Nursery Home is benefiting
children from all parts of Dauphin
and Cumberland counties and from
fifty to sixty youngsters are % cared
for daily, ranging in age from wee
babies to the larger 10-year-olds. In
every household there is an. accu
mulation of old things which can j
be turned to good account by donat- |
ing it to the home. Old clothing, j
rags of all kinds, old flannel, every
thing woolen, carpets and rugs as j
well as rubber of every description, j
brass, load, iron, zinc, old cooking,
utensils, everything but paper and j
magazines.
The donations will be sold in one 1
big lot and the proceeds will help
care for many children.

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. *

stand no nonsense from the Ameri
cans. My destructive sword has
crushed the Russians. In a short
while I will announce new victories.
The war drama now is coming to
its close. In a just cause lam ready
to force myself to be cruel."

Sox and for years first baseman of

ewson as manager of the Cincinnati

son are officers in the Army, Hobby
being a lieutenant in the Dental
Corps while Mathewson is a captain
in the chemical service. Hoblitzel
continued to make his home here,

ton Americans, and has many friends
in this city. Hoblitzel acted as field
captain for the Red Sox on a number
of occasions.
