CARL BECK ELECTED CAPTAIN OF THE TECH TRACK TEAM; SAMMY SCHIFF TO FIGHT FOR K. OF C Central High Girls Lose to Swift Maids of Williamsport •"They have a better team; that's tha whole story," commented Ath- I lettc Director Bortram W. Saul last evening when the doughty Williams port girls finished their to I Chestnut street by beating the Cen tral High maids. 16-j3. The larg est crowd of the season witnessed the engagement and though disap pointed that the local lassies ootid not put one over, this being the third consecutive loss, everybody joined in a fine dancing program and for got the tragedy. Williamsport has been playing together for a longer time than Harrtsburg and the result of team work, but Coach McConnell says that there may be some changes. McConnell also said basketball would be emphasized at : the Institution by forming an inter class league of the girls. Central High is most unfortunate in not having a floor of its own, and it ap pears to be about time that the school officials give them some ac commodations. Williamsport has a fine big floor, with shower baths right in their sehoolhouse and this is a great advantage. There arc only two classes of the male sex at Central High now; ono of them will be shifted this year and the last remaining one will go next Thus will be com pleted the separating of the sexes Watch White Sox With Collins Leading Off in the Batting Line Look out for the Chicago White Sox this year! Collins is loose. He is now at his home in Landsdowne near Philadelphia, after being re leased from the Marine Corps. Ed die was in the game early in 1918, with the 'First to Fight' organiza tion. and he said yesterday that war experience had not slowed him up any." I expect to have one of my best years,' he declared, "and under Kid Gleason I i>rtainly look for the White Sox to go fast." The dope in Chicago this week is that E. Trowbridge Collins, de luxe second baseman, is to quit wasting time at third-man batting and that Gleason will have him leading off. The only thing that prevented Col lins being first last year was the fact that Collins swatted third wjien he was with the Athletics and always made violent objections to any ar rangement that would move him from the spot which he, himself, considered best suited to his pe culiar baseball talents. Here is Collins' record since he has been with the Sox: Year G. R. H. 8.8. S.H.

Pete Herman Will Meet All Comers, Says Manager Sporting Editor, Telegraph: Pete Herman, bantamweight champion of the world, is back in the fight game and under the manage ment of "Doc" Cutch intends to give all the likely boys a chance to win the title if they can do it or care to make an effort. Herman announces tha-t he will bar no one who will make the weight and for whom there will be a suitable guarantee. Herman is just out of the navy" and has succeeded in getting hln self into good fighting trim. '"Doc" 'utch has arranged two for him in the near future. The first is with Patsy Scan ion at Pittsburgh, Mon day. February 10. The next sched uled fight of the champion is with Joe Rtirman at the OljT.ipia A. A.. Philadelphia.. Monday. February 24.

Thess two classes, seniors and juniors, played y game before the girl's fray last evening juniors win ning. 36-28. Dick Robinson and Jim Craiglow put up splendid games for the winning third-year lads. Robin son caged six flel\ goals and Craig low tallied four. Koch and Minnich put up star games for the seniors. Koch caging four field goals and eighteen fouls out of nineteen at tempts. His KOIL was of an extra fine caliber. However, the big star of the game was young Dick Rob inson.

The Sox have a most able hunter in Fred McMullin. He is the logical successor of Fielder Jones and Bill Bradley as the most com petent man in the Johnson circuit putting the runner over. Not only in the positive end of the butting game did he excel, but in the negative as well. He struck out only 92 times in 563 games, which is a trifle worse than .once every six games. He stole 161 bases and laid down 129 sacrifice hits. It has been suggested more than once that Collins lead off, but he al ways clung to the third position for superstitious reasons. He hit there for what he called "theO's" and wished to continue for the Sox. It is worthy of note that while his batting average continues to shrink after the fashion of those who spend long years in the majors, he still possesses the ability to make the hostile pitch. The decline in the number of passes he achieves is slight compared with the batting mark. "Kid" Gleason is a wise baseball person, and one of the wisest moves lie could mke would be to send Col lins to the plate first, even if such an amendment did uot meet the full approval of the man who is credited with being the second best 3econd baseman the American League ever had. Can Dempsey Fight? Should "Shay" So Ring enthusiasts are emphatic in their demand that the man who opposes Willard must be a genu ine fighter and a full-fleged heavy weight. Dempsey has proved that he has all the qualifications, both as to weight, size, skill, aggres siveness and hitting ability. Demp sey was born lu 1895 and, there fore. is 24 years of age. the period of life in which an athlete is at his best. He began boxing in 1915, and while his contestants were practically unknown like himself he showed superiority over nearly all of them, in 1916 he stopped Joe Bonds in the tenth round and then won bouts from "Terry" Kellar. "Wild" Bert Ken ney, John Lester Johnson and oth ers in clubs in this city. The only black mark in his record was a one-round knockout registered against him by Jim Flynn at Salt Lake City on February 13, 1917. Dempsey stopped Flynn in the first round last year. Dempsey first attracted the at tention of ring experts in the closing months of 1917 by whip ping Carl Morris and "Gunboat" Smith in four round bouts on the Pacific codst. He then came Fast, knocked out Homer Smith in the first round, and followed that by winning from Morris in the fifth round in Buffalo. Dempsey next stopped "Knockout Bill" Brennan lowed up these victories by knock in the sixth round. Dempsey fol ing out "Bob"" Devere, "Porky" Flynn and Fred Fulton in one round each. Then he knocked out "Battling" Levinsky in the third round, and put Morris to sleep in one round at New Orleans. "Gun boat Smith went out in the sec ond round up at Buffalo. Of all the heavyweights who have faced Dempsey In the past year "Willie" Meehan and "Billy" Miske are the only ones to stay the limit, Meehan having a shade in four round and Miske lasting through one bout of ten round and another of six. to meet all legitimate challengers, gladly gives Burman the opportunity | he desires. The same goes for any other fight er of repute in the country. Herman intends to follow the lines of the former champion, "Kid" Williams, and meet all the best boys in the country who think they have a chance with him. The future prom ises to be a very busy one for Pete Herman, the king of the bantam -1 weights.

Jinjur's Army of Revolt • • TIP was so anxious to rejoin his man Jack and the Saw-Horse that he walked a full half the distance to the Emerald City with out stopping to rest. Then he dis covered that he was hungry and the crackers and cheese he had provided for the journey had all been eaten. While wondering what he should do in this emergency he came upon a girl sitting by the roadside. She wore a costume that struck the boy as being remarkably brilliant; her silken waist being of emerald green and her skirt of four distinct colors —blue in front, yellow at the left side, red at the back and purple at the right side. Fastening the waist in front were four buttons—the top one blue, the next yellow, a third red and the last purple. The splendor of this dress was al most barbaric; so Tip was fully jus tified in staring at the gown for some moments before his eyes were at tractd by the pretty face above it. Yes, the face was pretty enough, he decided: but it wore an expression of discontent coupled to a shade of defiance or audacity. While the boy stared the girl look ed upon him calmly. A lunch bas ket stood beside her, and she held a dainty sandwich in one hand and a hard-boiled egg in the other, ating with an evident appetite that aroused Tip's sympathy. He was just about to ask a share of the luncheon when the girl stood up and brushed the crumbs from her lap. "There!" said she: "it is time for me to go. Carry that basket for me and help yourself to its contents if you are hungry." Tip seized the basket eagerly and began to eat. following her a time the strange girl without bothering to ask questions. She walked along be fore him with swift strides, and there was about her an air of decision and importance that led him to suspect she was some great personage. Finally, when he had satisfied his hunger, he ran up beside her and tried to keep pace with her swift footsteps—a very difficult feat, for she was much taller than he, and evi dently in a hurry. ; "Thank you very much for the sandwiches," said Tip, as he trotted 1 along. May I as'/ your name?" "I am General Jinjur," was the ! brief reply*. "Oh:" said the boy. surprise. "What sort of a general?" "I command the Army of Revolt in this war," answered the general, with unnecessary sharpness. "Oh!" he again exclaimed. "I didn't know there was a war." "You were not supposed to know it,' she returned, "for we have kept it a secret; and considefing that our army is composed entirely of girls,' she added, with some pride, "it is surely a remarkable thing that our revolt is not yet discovered." "It is. indeed," acknowledged Tip. 'But where is your army?" "Abqut a mile from here,' said General Jinjur. "The forces have assembled from all parts of the Land of Oz, at my express command. For this is the day we are an conquer His Majesty the Scarecrow, and wrest from him the throne. The Army of Revolt only awaits my com ing to march upon the Emerald City. "Well" declared Tip, drawing a long breath, "this is certanly a sur prising thing! May I ask why you wish to conquer His Majesty the Scarecrow?" "Because the Emerald City has been ruled by men long enough, for one reason," said the girl. "More over, the City glitters with beautiful gems, which might better be used for rings, bracelets and necklaces; and TECH CHOOSES BECK CAPTAIN Athletic Prodigy to Lead Big Show to Which He Will Contribute Greatly Carl Beck, Tech's best all-arpund athlete, was elected yesterday after noon to lead the Maroon track tesun during the coming season The new captain Is a whole show of his own. He can do just about anythi ig he takes a turn at on the cinder path. Topping the hurdles and the weight evemts are his specialty. At the in tef-scholastic meet at Philadelphia last spring, the local lad scored 17 points single handed. All of last year's "T" men had a voice 1n the selection of Beck. At the same meeting a call was made for the relay runners who will com pose the Tech quartet at the Fena nXIUIIBBXJRG iflSk TELEGRAPH there is enough money in the King's treasury to buy every girl in our Army a dozen new gowns. So we intend to conquer the City and run the government to suit ourselves." Jinjur spoke these words with an eagerness and decision that proved she was in earnest. "But war is a terrible thing," said Tip. thoughtfully. "This war will be pleasant," re plied the girl, cheerfully. "Many of you will be slain!" con tinued tjie boy, in an awed voice. "Oh, no," said Jinjur. "What man GENERAL JINJUR AND HER ARMY CAPTURE THE CITY would oppose a girl, or dare to harm her? And there is not an ugly face in my entire army." Tip laughed. "Perhaps you are right." said he. "But the Guardian of the Gate is considered a faithful Guardian, and the King's Army will not let the City be conquered without a struggle." "The Army is old and feeble," re plied General Jinjur, scornfully. "His strength has all been used to grow whiskers, and his wife has such a temper that she has already pulled more than half of them out by the roots. When the Wonderful Wizard reigned the Soldier with the Green Whiskers was a very good Royal Army, for people feared the Wizard. But no one is afraid of the Scare crow, so his Royal Army don't count for much in time of war." After this conversation they pro ceeded some distance in silence, and before long reached a large clearing in the forest where fully four hun dred young women were assembled. These were laughing and talking to gether as gaily as if they had gath ered for a picnic instead of a war of conquest. They were divided into four com panies. and Tip noticed that all were dressed in costumes similar to that worn by General Jinjur. The only real difference was that while those girls from the Munchkin country had the blue strip in front of their skirts, those from the country of the Quad lings had the red strip in front; and those from the country of the Win- had the yellow strip in front, and the Gillikin girls wore the pur (Copyrighted by L.

Bradley Haynes, a graduate of Tech in the class of 1916, was a vis itor yesterday morning at the chapel exercises. He has Just returned from Camp Oglethorpe, where he was a member of the Greenleaf guards. Members of the senior class show ed the other three classes of the school what piaterial is in the ranks of the fourth-year class, in the 'way of literary, musical and electrical geniuses. It was the first of a series of four entertainments that will be given on the next four Friday morn ings. The first number on the pro gram was a sextet composed of Nis sley, Saltzer, Dixon, Boyer, Picker ing and Shope. Thev were announced as the "Jazz Sextet" and were much appreciated by the students. Miller and Shank then put on a cartooning stunt, much to the de light, of the audience. Fellows. Shad er. Boyer and D. Bell Rang several selections that were full of ''pep." and were encored several times. Dixon accompanied them. An elec i. pie strip in front. All had green ' waists, representing the Kmerald ! City they intended to conquer, and the top button on each waist indi cated by its color which country the i ! wearer came from. The uniforms 11 were jaunty and becoming, and quite i effective when masse 4 together. I f Tip thought this strgnge Army i bore no weapons whatever; but in this he was wrong. For each girl had stuck through the knot of her • back hair two long, glittering knit | ting-needles, i I General Jinjur immediately mounted the stump of a tree and addressed her army. "Friends, fellow-citizens, and girls!" she said; "we are about to begin our great Revolt against the men of Oz! We march to conquer the Emerald City—to dethrone the Scarecrow King—to acquire thou sands of gorgeous gems—to rifle the royal treasury—and to obtain power over our former oppressors!" "Hurrah!" said those who had listened; but Tip thought mo3t of the Army was too much engaged in chattering to pay attention to the words of the General. The command to march was now given, and the girls formed them selves into four bands, or companies, and set off with eager strides toward the Emerald City. The boy folloWed after them, car rying several baskets and wraps and packages which various members of the Army of Revolt had placed in his care. It was not long before they came to the green granitft walls of the City and halted before the gateway. The Guardian of the Gate at once came out and looker at them curi ously, as if a circus had come o town. He carried a bunch of keys swung r .und his neck by a golden chain; his hands were thrust ca-e --lessty into his pockets, and he seem ed to have no idea at all that the City was threatened by rebels Speaking pleasantly to the girls he said: ' "Good morning, my dears! What can I do for you?" "Surrender instantly!" answered the George Matthew Adams Service.) trical demonstration showed the ability of the seniors. Weaver, Peif er, Herbert, Shimer, Waehtman and Uippl illustrated high frequency, wireless and other interesting ex periments. The "Jazz Sextet" and the senior quartet concluded the program with more delightful music. It was a program placed on a high plane by the fourth-year boys, and will mean that the other three class es will have to work hard to equal the performance. The program would not have been complete without the president, "Silent Will" Hoerner. This young man acted as announcer for the var ious acts, informing his audience of what was to follow through the medium of French. So that the freshmen would know what he was talking about, and also to let the other two classes know that he him self knew. "Bill" translated his French into Intelligent English. The Tech Social Dabce Club will hold another "hop" at Hanshaw's hall, Wednesday evening. Monday, February 1-7. the mid' year examinations will be held in all of the four classes tor all sub jects. The "exams" will continue throughout the Week. Members of the faculty will spend another week reviewing their subjects. General Jinjur,. standing before him and frowning as terribly as her pretty face would allow her to. "Surrender!" echoed the man, as tounded. "Why, it's impossible. It's against the law! I never heard of such a thing in my life." "Still, you must surrender!" ex claimedthe General, fiercely. "We are revolting!" "You don't look it," said the'Gqar dian, gazing from one to another, admiringly. "But we are!" cried Jinjur, stamp ing her foot, impatiently; "and we mean to conquer the Emerald City!" "Good gracious!" returned the surprised Guardian of the Gates; "what a nonsensical idea! Go home to your mothers, my good girls, and ntilk the cows and bake the bread. Don't you know it's a dangerous thing to conquer a city?" "We are not afraid!" responded the General; and she looked so de termined that it made the Guardian uneasy. • So he rang the bell for the Soldier with the Green Whiskers, and the rext minute was sorry he had done so. For immediately he was sur rounded by a crowd of girls who drew the knitting-needles from their, hair and began ;.abbing them at the Guardian with the sharp points dangerously near his fat cheeks and blinking eyes. , The poor man howled loudly for mercy and made no resistance when Jinjur drew the bunch of keys from around his neck. . Followed by her Army the Gen eral now rushed, to the gateway, where she was confronted by the Royal Army of Oz— which was the other name for the Soldier with the Green Whiskers. "Halt!" he cried, and pointed his long gun full in the face of the lead er Somfi of the girls bcreamed and ran back, but General Jinjur brave ly stood her ground and said, re proachfully: "Why, how now? Would you shoot a poor, defenceless girl?" "No, 1 ' replied the so'dler; "for my gun isn't loaded.' "Not loaded?"* "No; for fear of accidents. And I've forgotten where 1 hid the pow der and shot to load it with. But if you'll wait a short time I'll try to hunt them up." "Dont trouble yourself," said Jin jur, cheerfully. Then she turned to her Army and cried: "Girls, the gun Isn't loaded!" "Hooray," shrieked the rebels, de lighted at this good news, and they proceeded to rush upon the Soldier with the Green Whiskers in such a crowd that it was a wonder they didn't stick the knitting-needls into one another. But the Royal Army of Oz was too much afraid of women to meet the onslaught. He simply turned about and ran with all his might through the gate and toward the royal palace, while General Jinjur and her mob flocked into the unpro tected City. In this way was the Emerald City captured without a drop- of blood being spilled. The Army of Revolt had,become an Army of Con querors!
