Tom Marshall Says Nation
Must Relax With Sports
*" Our nation must relax. Recon
struction is in order in every ave
nue of life, along broader and more
comprehensive lines. Especially is
this fact true in the world of sports.
In the patriotic sport of trapshoot
ing the interest has never decreased,
. s neither has there been a cessation of
interest or public endorsement. Uncle
Sam's endorsement by establishing
shooting schools in all cantonments
and ground schools, at the same
time sending 2,000,000 targets across
- the water to General Pershing for
use in educating the "dough boys"
on moving objects was especially
useful. There was never a chance
s for a shot at a stationary "Hun" af
-1 ter the Yanks took the trenches, as
■4*' those Boches were at all times mak
ing one of their strategic retreats,
escaping from the destructive effect
of those sawed-off shotguns in the
hands of expert trapshots. This was
the combination that brought the
cry of "Kamerad" in conjunction
with a storm of protest from the
German government.
During the period of war, gun
clubs havo been organized and con
sistently operated, not only by
country clubs and private parties,
but municipalities have installed
traps and encouraged trapshooting
within the confines of the public
parks. Country clubs, in many
places, dropped lawn tennis and
golf and substituted trapshooting as
the real patriotic sport.
Strong For Women Shooting
It has now become the fashion
able fad in which women are forg
ing to the front; schools of instruc
tion under competent teachers have
been established at many of the
ultra-fashionable watering places
and resorts. Becoming proficient
and expert in the high art of shoot
ing at the traps, their inclination
then is to go afield, where they have
been most successful. In many in
stances women are reported as hav
, ing secured the legal limit of birds,
usually quail or snipe; although
many assume the roll of real duck
shooters. .
The advent of many women at
the traps has had the effect of popu
larizing the sport with one and all.
It lias been my observation that
more interest at all times is creat
ed by the presence of women, who
serve, not only to popularize, but to
elevate the sport to a higher plane,
as is the case in all lines of sport.
Women delight in preparedness and
feel that education along the lino
of handling shot guns, which vir-
AROUND THE BASES
Billy Sunday must be warming up
for another campaign. Says he: The
Kaiser has sunk so far below hell
he'll need an airplane to reach it.
The Tarsus Gymnastic Association
held its annual election last night
and chose Clarence Lick manager
for the football team on his merits.
Dick is well named. He totaled per
sonally fifty of the 94 points made
this season against the various foes.
Tarsus plays St. Joseph, at Lancas
ter, Wednesday night in basketball,
and follows on Saturday with Mll
lersville.
How It's Done—"Sa.v," said the
new young Assistant Editor of the
Big Magazine, breezing in with a
basket full of poems, "I can't make
head nor tail of these poems. I
don't know what in thunder half of
'em mean!"
"Eureka!" shouted the Big Chief,
embracing him. "Pick out the ones
you don't understand, have the art
ists illuminate 'em in page frames
that ain't artistic, and edvertise the
new school of literature! We've got
•em going!"— Richmond Times-Dis

New York, Dec. 28. —M. Bernstein, I
of Do Witt Clinto High school, won
the national indoor championship
singles for boys under 15 years of age
on the tennis courts of the Seventh
regiment armory yesterday. Bern
stein in his final beat Leo Jandorff,
of Stuyvesant school, 6-3, 6-2, 6-1.
Vincent Richards, holder of two
national titles and Frank T. Ander
son, of Commercial High school,
Brooklyn, won in the semifinals of
the national junior chtwrnpionship
singles. Richard? easily outplayed
Abraham Bassford, 3d, 6-3, 6-2. An
derson by speed and steadiness
counted for the defeat of H. B. Kal
tenbach, Jr., of Princeton, 6-4, 6-4.
Clay bird shooting is flourishing
in our midst. The Harrisburg Sports
man's Association will pull theirs this
afternoon at Second and Division
streets. The Motive Power A. A. stage
theirs to-morrow, 12.30 p. in., at
Fifth and Division. The receipts
from the latter will be turned over to
the soldiers' smoke fund. As a fea
ture, a gold lupel trophy will be
awarded the high scorer among the
veterans who have been competing
for fifteen years or more. Those
shooting less than fifteen years mak
ing a high core will get a sterling
sliver lapel button. A silver watch
chair will be awarded the shooter
making the longest run. Every con
testant will oc given a lapel trophy.
Occasionally the English papers
hand a clout to the raw Yank who
is quite plenty about London these
days. They have one now on a
doughboy who gave his seat to a
pretty lady in a tram car. "But I
don't like to deprive you of your
seat," said she "No depravity at all"
blushed the Yank.

Every Spoit to U'lilrl
The doughboys havo returned an
army of trained tapshots, who are
anxious to have a try on conclusions
with the gentler sex, many of whom
are now acknowledged high score
makers. Promoters of major sports
are now busy on plans for a rejuve
nation along all angles. Baseball
will corne back bigger and stronger
than ever. Golf. will again come
into its own popularity. Having
parks will again be recognized and
the ponies permitted to "go" on
many tracks, which have been ta
booed. The Interstate Trapshootlng
Association is now formulating a
code of diversified ideas, which,
when promulgated, will stimulate
the sport of trapshooting in a way
that it will be recognized as Amer
ica's major sport. As a nation, we
need and require a season of relaxa
tion, complete rest with an oppor
tunity to forget wnr or sordid busi
ness. This can only be accomplish
ed by the adoption of sport diver
sion. Good, healthy, life-prolong
ing outdoor sports, spell the very
best life insurance policy a man can
have written. Answer nature's re
quirements—complete rest both for
mind and body.
Parks and Country Clubs Should
Trapsliot
Uncle Sam is now returning 4,-
000,000 men trained to the mintite
in the use and handling of firearms,
this aggregation of rcd-bloqded men
will require healthy diversion, na
turally they will turn to the sport,
wherein they have received intensive
training trapshooting. Many of
our parks in cities are favorably lo
cated for the installation of traps,
carrying no possible angle of danger
as the zone of injury, for shot used
in trapshooting is extremely limit
ed. Park Commissioners could not
promote a sport, which would be as
popular, gratifying and universally
enloyed by their many home and
returning soldier constituents, as to ■
establish traps and equipment on I
public park property. Country clubs
should immediately and permanent
ly adopt shooting. Gun clubs must
reorganize; interesting and enter
taining the new candidates who have
just arrived. Now is the logical time !
"for shooting clubs—they strike a
populur chord. Give the boys the
line of sport they want —trapshoot-
ing.

William Penn Highway
Mnrysvillp, Pa., Dec- 28. —An agi
tation that is gaining considerable
strength in this section, has been
started to havo the proposed section
of the Susquehanna Trail and that
portion of the William Penn High
ay, extending frorh Amity Hall,
opened as early as possible. Amity
Hall is located near the junction of
the Juniata with the Susquehanna
river.
Petitions are now being circulated
through this territory, addressed to
Governor-elect Sproul, asking that
he use his influence in the matter. At
Newport, which town is most par
ticularly concerned in the move
ment, borough officials and citizens
in large numbers are attaching their
signatures to the petition, which
points out that some of the abund
ant supply of money which will be
spent within the next several years,
should be used to open up the beau
tiful Juniata Valley between New

Calvary U. B. Sunday
School Gives to Orphanage
Washington Heights, Pa., Dec. 28.
—At the annual Christmas enter
tainment held by Calvary United
Brethren Sunday school, the text,
"it Is More Blessed to Give Than
to Receive," was literally carried
out. Instead of the customary giving
the children a treat, the scholars
gave to the Quincy Orphanage and
Home. After the program each class
was called and representatives car
ried to the platform the articles
given by their classes. The Men's
Bible class gave three barrels of
flouV, the Women's Bible class gave
sugar and others gave clothing, gro
ceries, etc., making a decided suc
cess of the "giving, not getting" side
of the program.
Holy Communion will be observed
at Caivary United Brethren church
on. Sunday. The pastor, the Ret. P.
R. Koontz, will preach morning and
evening-

"ku Revoir" to Napoleon
Lajoie, Ze Grand Man Who
Plays No More Baseball
Napoleon Lajolc, for twenty years
conceded to be one of the world's
greatest inflelders, to-day announced
his retirement from professional
baseball. For many years he was
considered the leading second base
man. Last season Lajoie managed
the Indinnypolis team of the Amer
ican Association.
Only once In his twenty-three
years' career on the diamond did
Lajoie belong to a pennant-winning
team. That was In 1917, when he
managed the Toronto (earn' of the
International League.
Lajoie was manager of the Cleve
land American League team from
1905 to the latter part of the 1909
season. In 1908 his team lost the
pennant to Detroit by half a game.
He started his major league ca
reer with the Philadelphia Nationals
as first baseman and outfielder and
jumped to the Philadelphia Athletics
when the American League was or
ganized. A restraining order pre
venting him from playing in Penn
sylvania caused Lajoie to be sold
to Cleveland.
Four times Lajoie led the Amer
ican League batters and four times
he managed to moke more than 200
hits in a season.
During his twenty-one years in the
major league Lajoie collected 3,243
base hits for a grand average of
.338, and scored more than 1,500
runs. He accepted more than 14,000
fielding chances, making only 502
errors, his grand average at first,
second and third bases, shortstop
and the outfield being .966.
Lajoie retires from baseball to
take care of his interests in an au
tomobile tire manufacturing com
pany.

"Doc" Miller Switched Team
but Old Boys Gave Him
a Hard Battle
After electing "Buddie" Llngle cap
tain of the Tech iiigh School basket
ball quintet last evening, the Maroon
aggregation won a nip and tuck game
from the Aluninl five by a score of
30 to 26. It was a close contest
from the start to the very close of
play. With four minutes of the game
remaining to be played the two ag
gregations were deadlocked at twen
ty-five points. Two field goals and
a foul clinched the game for Tech.
Coach Miller used eight players to
bring victory, while the "grads" had
six players take part in the struggle.
"Goldle" Huston, of last year's win
ning five captained the Alumni. Pair
ed off with Huston was "Ted" Lloyd
whose first field goal after a minute
and a quarter of play gave the gradu
ates a lead which they held the great
er part of the first half. Sourbier
played a good game at center and
made both Frank and Wllsbnch hustle
during the game. Glenn Killlnger
and Polleck played most of the game
at guard. Late in the second half
"Jerry" Frock substituted for Kil
llnger. The Tech graduates played a
great game and held the local play
ers to about as close a score us thay
will make this season, according ."to
the advance "dope."
Coach Miller surprised the 500 fans
present by placing Lingle and Ebner
at forward, Frank at center, with
Kohlman and Dlhl at guard. When
the half ended, Tech was on the los
ing end, .15 to 13. Beginning the
second half, Wtlsbach went in at
center for Frank; J. Beck took Eb
ner's place and Smith supplanted
Blhl. This aggregation rolled up 17
points to the Alumni's 11.
While the contest was close at all
times, it was rather a slow affair,
and all of the players showed that
they will have to work hard to get
into championship form. None of
Tech's eight players seems to have
honors clinched and it will take some
hard fighting to pick final outfit.
Faculty Director Grubb hns not as
yet arranged a game for next week,
and the team will likely take a trip
out of Harrlsburg as the Chestnut
street floor is engaged for next Fri
day night. The line-up and summury:

WOULD COMPEL ALL COLLEGE
STUDENTS TO RE ATHLETES
By Associated Bress
Now York, Dec. 28. —After a dis
cussion which lasted to a late hour
last night, delegates to the annual
convention of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association adopted resolu
tions recommending the abolition of
the training table; scouting, except
at open intercollegiate contests and
organized training or coaching in the
summer vacations, which were de
clared to be contrary to the spirit
of amateur college athletics.
On the report of a special com
mittee which . considered several
suggestions and resolutions present
ed during the lirst two sessions the
following resolutions were adopted
by a majority vote last night:
"That in the opinion of the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic Associa
tion, physical training and athletics
are an essential part of education;
and that in every college or univer
sity the department of physical
tiaining and athletics should be
recognized as a department of col
legiate instruction, directly respon
sible to the college or university ad
ministration.
"Each college faculty should make
adequate - provision in the hour
schedule for physical training and
athletics."
Among the speukors who took a
prominent part in the night's discus-
I.eliman, son of \V. B. Lehman, of
Reid, Md„ and Miss Esther Hecf
ner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G.
W. Heefner, of Waynesboro, were
married Thursday afternoon at the

The strong Rookwood five with Its
freak player. Lew Haggerty, tallest
center In captivity and only man liv
ing or dead who can span a basket
ball with his one bread-winner and
pick it up from the floor, will en
gage Gordon Ford's quintet to-night
at Chestnut Street Auditorium in
what should be the liveliest game of
.the season. Tlip Itookwoods have
been famous for years, particularly
under the management of "Pop"
Sears. They include "Kid" Dark, who
is no dark horse after all this time,
and they have the merit of having
winged the Independents In the early
part of the season.
Carl Beck will be at his regular po
sition of center, and it looks as
though he will be barred from play
ing at Tech so long as he appears
with the Ford squad. The authorities
at Tech take the general attitude
fixed by the A. A. U. that a man can
not remain an amateur and take any
money for his play; otherwise he is
professional. Tech also has an in
dividual ruling that her men must
appear on no other teams but those
of Tech. Contrary to this, it is point
ed out that Harry Rote, the former
Centrul star, played for two seasons
with the Independents, while at the

The greater portion of the after
noon session was devoted to the pre
sentation of reports of various divi
sions and committees.
The association passed a resolu
tion at the request of the National
Lawn Tennis Association, favoring
the construction of tennis courts at
.all colleges in numbers sufficient to
'give all students an opportunity to
play the game and to confer tho
same insignia upon members of tho
varsity tennis team as may be ac
corded other athletic teams of prom
inence.
Following adjournment there was
a conference of tho representatives
of tho university basketball teams
forming the intercollegiate basket
ball association. The managers or
coaches of Cornell, Columbia, Penn
sylvania, Dartmouth, Princeton and
Yale were in attendance. It was de
cided to withdraw the championship
trophy from competition during the
coming season and to substitute a
"round robin" schedule of games in
place of the regular titular play.
The schedule, which was tentatively
drafted, will be announced within a
few weeks.

Independent player, held a bertli on

Lingle and Blhl, both Tech stars at
the present time, have played wlt.h
the Independents and other five dur
ing the time that they played with
Tech. "Nobe" Frank, last year's
Central star, played for both Central
High and the Independents at the
same time. "Red" Huston, former
Tech star tosser, played with the
Hassctt Club during the time he play

teams at the same time are those of
the following:: Horace Geisel, Ike
