Can't Beat These

Football Schedule
Despite the fact that no high i
schools are anxious to play foot
ball against Tech High school.
Manager Louis W. Snyder, has
finally arranged one of the niftiest
schedules ever prepared for a ,
local scholastic eleven.
"Bus" Snyder has completed
the schedule with the exception
of the opening contest. It may
be necessary to make up a team
composed of the Alumni to oppose
the Maroon lads for the first j
game. September 27. Six of the
games are to be played with new
comers during the coming fall. |
Chester, Baltimore Poly, Wil- j
mington, Del., Bethlehem Prep,
and Washington Central, from the !
National Capitol are the new j
teams. Delaware, Maryland, Dis- i
trict of Columbia and Pennsylva- |
nia are represented. Should Tech |
he able to clean up it will give
Harrisburg a better claim to the
honors than ever before.
Of the nine games only two
will be played on fields away
from home. Mercersburg Acade
my and Greensburg are the two
dates on foreign soil.
The complete schedule follows:
September 27, open; October 4,

ty Should Patronize Saturday's
Interscholastic Track Meet Here
Everything is set under direction,
of V. Grant Forrer, of the Park De- !
partment, for a rollicking big time j
on Saturday afternoon at the Island j
field for the annual interscholastic {
track meet, suspended during the j
war, and now again to resume its J
important place in Harrisburg ath
letics. The Harrisburg Track Ath- |
letic committee has a curious sit- I
uation to handle; the fact being that :
few schools responded to the invita
tion this year because Tech has such J
a mighty band of contestants. Those
in line are: Reading. Carlisle. Al- 1
toona, York, Lykens Hansford, 1
Wilkes-Barre, Bloomsburg, Steelton
and Tech. The Technical
school of Scranton declined. It was
partly for this reason that a run- j
ner-up cup is being offered.
In an effort to do away with any i
event on the program which in any j
way jeopardizes the safety of the |
athletes and the spectators it was j
decided at the meeting last evening j
that this year's track meet will not i
include a javelin throw or hammer i
throw. The committee feels that the
events are not only unsafe for the I
spectators and athletes on the day [
of the meet but also that they are !
dangerous even in practice. A great I
many instances are reported in ath- |
letic annals whereby athletes have |
been killed or maimed for life just i
through the misguidance of the i
hammer or the breaking of the wire.
No great hammer throwers have
ever been developed in these parts
and no attention is given by the
teams to either the hammer or
javelin throwing contest. For these !
reasons, it is believed that the events j
are dangerous, will not be missed *
from the program and will further j
insure the safety of all concerned
in the afternoon's attraction.
The following shows the athletes,
with their numbers and their re
spective school as they will line

REFEREE TELLS OF
THE TENDLER FARCE
The Lew Tendler imposition on
Harrisurg where he came and pre
sented himself with "broken hand"
and a mess of other alibis, has been
disastrous to a number of persons in
a number of ways. It is a dead story
now. but Referee Billy Hinton, of
York, is justified in having his ac
count of the "sucker" game printed
and of making certain little correc
tions of criticisms handed to him
in the height of the melee. Bill
writes:
"X read in this evening's York
Dispatch where I was criticised in
refereeing the tight etween Johnny
Herman and Eddie Loechner. The
Harrisburg Telegraph says that Her
man fouled Loechner five times and
I did not caution him about this,
which I claim I did and have Her
man for proof. I will tell you how
I.oechner came to be fouled. Every
time that Herman would lead a left
hand jab for the stomach, Loechner
would knock the blow down as it
was coming in. That is how he was
fouled. When I first called Herman
down about this he told me to watch
I-oechner how he blocked the blow.
I seen for myself it was Loechner's
fault. Therefore I had no right to
stop the fight and give it to Loech
ner. The referee cannot give a de
cision. therefore I was handicapped
and it watt up to the reporters. I
just want to say that Mr. Riker or

from the rings of Pennsylvania and

"DOUGHNUT" NIGHT
Flight of Lieutenant Nelson
The delay caused by the rain of the
past several days has kept off the
Salvation Army "doughnut" night at
the Allison Hill baseball field, but it
should serve to whetten the appetites of
all the patrons, who were ready for a
doughnutfest last night until the de
luge put a damper on the festivities.
As a result of the postponement, the
same schedule will be pulled oft Friday
night, when Rosewood and Galahad
meet. Prior to the start of the contest
Lieutenant Nelson, of the Middletown
Aviation Depot, will give an exhibition
flight, after which Galahad and 'Rose
wood will lock horns. Then Salvation
Army lassies will be on hand to feed
the multitudes that assemble at Seven
teenth and Chestnut streets nightly.
Work on the grandstand has also been
checked temporarily, but to-day with
clear weather Contractor Baer was ex
pected to be on the job. Contributions
continue to come in entitling the donors
to a reserved seat in the best part of
the grandstand. Booster buttons will
be given out to the patrons.
Highway Commissioner Lynch put a
force of men on the grounds to-day. as
much of the infield was washed by the
heavy rains.

JIM THORPE TO BOSTON
The Boston Xationals yesterday pur
chased Jim Thorpe, famous Indian out
fielder and all-round athlete, from the
New York National League Club. He
was to report to-day and the Boston
management says he is to be used most
ly against left-hand pitchers.
James C. Thorpe ,a Sec and Fox In
dian. one of the greatest all-round ath
letes ever developed in America, was
born at Tucson. Ariz., in 1890. Stand
ing close to six feet and weighing in
athletic condition about 180 pounds, he
made track and field, football and base
ball records which will stand for years.
Thorpe came into athletic prominence
in his early youth, but it was not until
he entered the Carlisle Indian School
that he became nationally famous. As
a member of the famous redskin foot
ball team, he attracted attention in
names against the largest university
football teams of the East and Middle
West.
In 1912 he was selected as a member
of the American Olympic games team
which won international honors at
Harris, Arthur Helf, Nelson Hibsch
