Condition in Egypt Shows Improvement London, March 24.—Reuters agency says it learns that telegrams I received up to Sunday evening show i a continued improvement in the sit ! uation in Egypt, but that the delta ' region is still disturbed. Bedouins • attacked a detachment of British troops in the province of Fayum, ! middle Egypt, but were repulsed 4 with losses. ! paired with Max Decugls, one of the ] top-notchers in France. ; That they make a formidable ; combination is shown by the fact that they defeat a team composed |of Captain Douglas Watters and i ! Lieutenant Dean Mathey. Captain Watters is former intercollegiate : | champion of the South and was •i ranked in Class 2 in 1916. IZeu | tenant Mathey ranked tenth in 1916 j and with George M.

You can not, in a shop in Coblenz to-day. buy or steal a checker board and checkers or a game of chess. Blame it on the doughboy. After many months, when war was the only game that meant anything in his life, ho was returned to one of his favorite S. O. S. pastimes with as much enthusiasm as he will pitch into that often dreamed of flrst meal at home. Two thousand soldiers come into Coblenz daily on leave. They see the sights: they buy souvenirs: they go to the movies: they eat two meals as the guests of the Y. M. C. A., and they play checkers and chess. Go into Fest Halle lounge, for Instance, at any hour of the day between 10 o'clock In the morning and 9.30 at night and you will see many a game of checkers that would make Christy Mathewson, who knows almost as much about checkers as he does about baseball, stop to watch. When the Y. M. C. A. took over tlje Fest Halle, or municipal theater, as a club for the soldiers of the third army, It introduced several checker boards and a few sets of chess along with newspapers and "Red" Hill Resigns as Track Coach HpBF WSk K ST GEORGE W. HILL, JR. George W. Hill, Jr., for the past ten years track and football coach at the Technical High school, has resigned as coach of the track can didates and will be succeeded by Harry DeWire, of the Tech faculty. When Coach Hill took charge of track at Tech ten years ago the Maroon candidates went over to the island and won a single bronze medal fdr their afternoon's work. Gradually the Maroon athletes came to the front and within four i years had won the State champion ship. For the past six years under the direction of Coach Hill, Tech has not had an equal in track in the entire State. At State College. Pittsburgh, La fayette and the Island, the Maroon track and field men cleaned the best High schools of the State, directed by Hill. The championship of Ohio was added to that of the Keystone State last year at the Pitt meet. (Coach Hill retires because of other outside activities. The new director of track affairs is a former Bloomsburg Normal and Bucknell athlete. While at these in stitutions he took part in the broad jump and all the dashes. For eleven years his record for the broadjump has stood as a mark at Bloomsburg. This is his first year at Tech, but In the short time he has made many friends among the Tech student body. , DEMOBILIZE MILITARY POI.ICE Military police have performed their last duties in Harrisburg for the pres ent, st least, under provisions of the lat-jst orders received at the several Army posts in this vicinity. All men engaged In such work have been or dered to the camps to await demobili zation. They ended their work at midnight. i SCHIFF FIGHTS TONIGHT Sammy Schiff is much on the map to-day. as he fights at the Olympia in Philadelphia to-night and to-mor row night meets Otto O'Keefe at the arena of the Motive Power A. A.. Sev enth and Boyd streets. Special prep arations are being made at this at tractive spot to take care of a record crowd. This afternoon a company of shopmen of the P. R. R., under Man ager Runk, were busy erecting a sub stantial ring, seats, etc., and nothing will remain for the committee to do except handle the crowd and send the boxers on. The Schift-O'Keefe bout has excited much enthusiasm and the requests for magazines and phonographs. The papers and magazines were glanced at and forgotten. The phonographs were played occasionally. But the checkers and the chess—especially the checkers —were in constant ÜBC. And so they have continued. The call for them has been so great that every game in the city has been bought by the Y. M. C. A. Not only the Fest Halle lounge and the new reading room, but also each "Y" canteen in the area —nineteen in all —has enough checkerboards and chessmen to keep the waiting list down to a minimum. At the Fest Halle, the first ones to arrive in the morning and the last ones to be routed out by the M. P. s at night are the checker fiends. The Germans call checkers "Muhle and Dame." Their name for chess Is "Schach-sptel." Some of the original checker boxes have the name also in French, showing that they were made before the war for exporta tion into France. But the doughboys in "Y" centers on the Rhine will never let them reach that country. J Long before the winter is over, they : will have worn their contents all out I and will be calling for new ones. ' There will also be many a new chess I player "made in Germany.'

Two games the Rookwood speedsters had chalk ed against Harrisburg, but Satur day night she lost, 49-3 3. Frankel proved his worth, dropping six through the net.
