Judging from the reports that
me from York relative to the-bas
tbalt contest Friday night and the
erniath, Tech track men will have
look to the* laurels. They have
lie sprinters down at York, for
2 Tech basketball squad had to do
ne "hot footing" to elude the
{try niob that pursued them down
orge street Friday night. Accord
f to reports, lloralius Codes at the
dge, did not show more daring
in some of the Tech athletes. The
al lads were willing to tight any
e in the crowd one by one, but the
rkers wanted to "gang" them.
Here is Tech's version of the af
r. McLaughlin, the York center,
tan using rough stuff when he
v that the game wus lost. His
inmates followed the lead, and
en the second half began Tech

itself. When it conies to the rough

ights to perfection. "Bob" Fluhrer,

the game was handled by Cole.

m him. It will be recalled that
Laughlin was ousted from a game
:r at Heading last season, when
was being outplayed by his op
lent. Rough play was the charge.
\tter Tech hud won the game,
> crowd was apparently sore, and
ited for the Tech lads. Aware of
lat might happen, the Maroon

lib-bells and Indian clubs from
1 York gymnasium. Starrting for

i Tech boys and made several,
dies. When the hostilities began |
get too uncomfortable, the players,
rented to a lunchroom, front
ere they were given police pro-|
tion fo the railway station,

i Tech boys do not claim that the;
iwd was representative 'of the!

Laughlin'was the aggressor, andi
it Cole allowed the game to get;

j Carpentier Out, Willard
Must Meet Dempsey
\ew York. Jan. 27.—Georges Car
pentier, the French heavyweight,
whose name has been coupled with
that of Jack Dempsey as leading
candidates for the opportunity to
meet Jess Willard next July in the
championship match which he has
contracted to fight, is out of the run
ning, according to William-H.. (Spar
row) Robertson, sporting expert, who
teeently returned from France.
Carpentier, he said, is suffering
from a dislocated thumb, and this
fact, coupled with war-time regula
tions, has prevented him from keep
ing in the physical condition neces
sary for a bout .with the champion.
After peace has been signed and
Carpentier has fought one or two
preliminary bouts with Kuropean
pugilists, he hopes to meet the Amer
ican champion, Robertson says Car
pentier's manager told him.

Andance sale of tickets for the

tickets were mailed last week, and
since that time it has required the

One reason for the big advance
sale is the fact that Harrisburg is
forgetting the wartime days when
amusement was bad form. Another is
that every cent of the proceeds from
the sale of tickets goes to charity.
