□arl Beck Is Now With
Tech Team Which Opens
League Season on Friday
Good news! The wrangle over
arl Beck playing on Gordon Ford's
idependent basketball team instead
t on Tech has been adjusted
micably and now we will see the
Ig fellow busting up things in the
entra) Pennsylvania League. There
as really no sevore bickering Man
ser Ford har the enterprise to put
arxisburg on the map with a b.ing
p attraction which exhibits every
sturday night at Chestnut street,
he public found the sport de luxe
nd liked the dancing afterward, so
lis club is flourishing like a green
ay tree.
An only thorn in the rose was that
ech demands its athletes to give
irviee only to the institution and
lore was some feeling that Ford
nd others who are Tech alumnt
lould not stick by the alma mater,
his they have done now, and at
le same time found a way of sub
itutlon for Beck on the Independ
ttts, so all is merry as a marriage
ell.

Fireproof Construction
of Majestic Stops Blaze
The coolness with which Motor
cycle Patrolman Schellias and others
handled the situation arising from
the discovery of a small fire in the
pile of wastepaper In an alleyway
under the Majestic Theater last
night probably averted a panic.
In order to avoid a panic, Schelhas
did not turn in an alarm, but phoned
for three fire companies. Jimmy
Hodges, whose company is playing
at the Majestic this week, advised
"those who do not, like smoke" to
leave quietly. There was no dis
order in the crowd, which left. The
smoke curled Into the theater, caus
ing some of the actresses to take
alarm and leave. The fireproof con
struction of the building, however,
prevented a fire and the small blaze
in the paper was extinguished with
out difficulty.
