Warner, September 8, at the University engineering camp at Wlnd ber, Pa., and the following day the , Panthers will start their practice grind. Engineering students of the University have hcen working in camp there all summer and everything is in ship shape for the reception of the grldmen. The coming season is going to be an unusual one in many ways and the Panther rooters aren't too opti mistic as to the outcome. The materi al is the poorest In years, with few tried performers available, and the schedule is the hardest Pitt ever arranged. While the return of Hast < ings, .Dehart. and Morrow from the service bolstered up the backflold con siderable, the line material is very green and Warner will have to do a lot of figuring in order to prepare a defense which will take care of the opposition. Last year 19 men received their Varsity letter in football at Pitt and of this number 13 were lost by gradu ation. Included in the six who re main are only 3 regulars—Davles, the sensational halfback, who was picked * by Walter Camp for his first Ali- Amerlcan team; Stein, center, and Mervis, tackle, Horner, sub-quarter „ back McCracken sub T fullback, and Harman, sub-tackle are the other % three. These, with Dehart, Hastings and Morrow, all backfleld men. give Warner a nucleus of only 9 veterans. Men in Cnmp A total of 43 will go to camp, 22 of these having been members of the Varsity squad at some time, although not winning their letter. Almost all of them were in the service. The coach figures that In this squad there are about 10 or 12 men who have the stuff in them to be developed into Varsity class. Four men who have played on the 1917 Freshmen team are back, the best known being Merle Hileman, V captain of the team, who has been with the Army of Occupation in Ger many. He got his discharge only a few days ago. Eight men who have not been out for any of the Univer sity teams but who are eligible under the one year residence rule have sig nified their intention of trying for the team, although there is not an ex perienced man in that list. Warner Han llig Job It is generally felt that Glenn War ner has one of the biggest jobs on his hands that he ever tackled to shape a team to meet Penn, Georgia Tech, \ W. and J.. Syracuse, Penn State and West Virginia and if he can come through with even a fairly successful team he will have accomplished a real feat. The Panthers haven't lost a college game since the Cornellian took charge here four years ago. "Jimmy" Dehart, who was a Lieu tenant and lrstructor at Mather Avi ation Field, California, is the new captain. His election came as a result of a letter last week. Dehart is the only man who ever won his letter in four branches k>f major sport here. The schedule follows: October 4, Geneva College, at Beav er Falls, Pa.; October 11, West Vir ginia at Pittsburgh; October 18, Syra cuse at Syracuse, N. Y.; October 25, Georgia Tech at Pittsburgh; Novem ber 1, Lehigh at South Bethlehem; November 8, W. and J. at Pittsburgh, November 15.

Last year Tech won the cham pionship of this locality, and chal lenged Toledo High for the cham pionship. But the "Buckeye" boys were not game enough to meet the Maroon lads. Eight of this team remain, and with 58 more candi dates, Tech should have as good a team as played for the Walnut streeters last year. Good Boys in Lineup In addition to Captain "Haps" Frank at tackle, there will be "Snaps" Emanuel and "Zip" Ma lick at the ends. "Jawn" Arnold will hold down another of the tackle places. The backfield looks like a world beater with "Buddie" Lingle, "Tony" Wilsbach, "Eggie" Beck and Garrett. Ebner will be missed at t quarterback, but it would not be , j surprising to find Lingle at the quar , [ ter post. Two promising candidates are [Comfort, who hails from Terre ] Haute High School. He is a line , i man. "Red" Foland, an all-around ; i athlete will also try for a guard. ! Others who were given suits include: ' | Bayless, Shue, Dunlap, Craig, Mar ; j cus, Meloy, Derrick, Reese, Hoffsom mer, McCord, Matter, Heagy, Erd [ ley, Davison, Davis Lutz, Mattson, ' !

A number of these lads 1 j have had two years experience with ' | the scrubs and should make good • timber for Cc*--h Smith this year. Snyder Manager "Bus" Snyder will manage the ' team. He experienced considerable ■ difficulty in arranging a schedule. Teams from five States New York, District of Columbia, Delaware, ■ Maryland and Pennsylvania will be i encountered. The season opens s September 27 and will close Decem , ber 4. It will be the most difficult 1 ever attempted by a local <High s School aggregation. All the games I will be played at home with the ex l oeption of the Mercersburg and t Greensburg contests, so that there > will be a game on the Island every Saturday. College games will be played on the two dates that Tech . is away from home. Practice will r be started on the Island next week. ; Waynesboro Magnates Meet to Wind Up Business Waynesboro, Pa., Sept. 6.—The j hoard of managers of the Waynes boro Industrial League met last ; night to wind up the business. Ou " account of the strike here which has ; tied up the manufacturing plants ' for three weeks and put an end to the schedule arranged, baseball was • cut out. " The treasurer's report showed a deficiency of $lOO in the treasury. This was caused by the heavy ex penditures in building the grand stands and improving the grounds. 5 The secretary was instructed Ij 1 wind up all the business and with s this done, the local Industrial s League will have passed into his > tory.

HUMMELSTOWN IS i MAKING BIG KICK West End Turns Down Re quest For County Series; May Come Later Unless West End plays a series with Hummelstown the latter team will claim the county championship. Yesterday Manager Strickler, of Hummelstown, received word that West End players were unable to play a county series owing to the arrangement with the Marysville team of the Dauphin-Perry League. Hummelstown did not expect to play any games until the series with Marysville was ended,' but accord ing to the letter sent to Manager Strickler, West End intends to ignore the request of Hummelstown for a series of games. There was much disappointment last night when the letter from the West End management was read to the players. The baseball boost ers of that town are also sore and expressed a belief last night that West End was afraid to jilay Hum melstown. However, it is the plan of Hum melstown to keep the team intact until the series with the Dauphin- Perry champions is finished and w.ll make another appeal to West End. The Harrisburg players have had a strenuous season and the games to come will keep them busy. There are some who desire to take up basketball and football and for this reason a series with Hummelstown may be impossible. It is understood that if a series can be arranged and the weather is favorable. West End will accommodate Hummels town in the near future.

The new "vision" of what the United States ] Army should be, as entertained by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, . and the old conviction of what an ; Army should be, as held by Lieut. General Robert L. Billiard. who di rected the Chateau-1/hierry coun teroffensive, came into conflict at Camp Holabird here yesterday, con sequent of the formal opening of the Army's first permanent vocational training school, the first of four planned by tho Motor Transport Corps. Both men were speakers at cere monies which were held in camp headquarters ar.il were attended by Major General W. G.

Drake, commandant of the Motor Transport Corps; Colonel W. D. Chitty, com mandant of Camp Holabird; Mayor William F. Broening, of Baltimore, and others, including Mrs. Baker and her young son. Secretary Baker rather contempt uously spoke of tho old Army as one which trained men only "to drill, to parade and to be tough in fiber and strong in spirit." "In tho future," he said, "the Army will come to be regarded as the great training school of live nation. There men will acquire cit izenship, skill, handicrafts and headcrafts which will make them useful in society. They will be made e„fflcient and effective men, as well as efficient and effective sol diers. They will be easily and read ily reabsorbed into civil occupations When leaving the Army."

I Say KING OSCAR to your dealer and pass him 7c, and then he will give you your money's worth of real smoke comfort. . John C. Herman & Co, Jarrisburg, Pa. / ' ■ I 17 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | ON DAYLIGHT SAVING To the Editor of the Telegraph: In reading to-night's issue of the Harrisburg Telegraph, I notice that you are agitating the signing of a petition to be presented to the City Council for a continuation of the daylight saving law. Do you not think it ie about time for you to wake up and take some thought for the welfare of the word ing man, the man who has to be at his daily toll at 6 or 7 a. m, the man who has to lose that hour's rest daily at the time when he needs it the most, and when sleep is the sweetest? The daylight saving law is of no benefit to the aforesaid working man, but it may benefit the office men, salesmen and others who do not have to arise till long after the working man has been at work. In reference to sports, such as the twilight base ball games, etc., they could be started an hour earlier, and have plenty of time to complete them, especially as the daylight men quit work at 3 and 3.30. The daylight saving law is a fraud at saving so far as the work ing man is concerned. If it saves in cost, does he get the benefit of the saving? With the abnormal high cost of living, shoes, coal,' clothing, in fact everything that is necessary to life, but the air he breathes. Why is profiteering not stopped? In fact, why was it ever allowed to start? If they are sincere about stop ping it, why do they not go to the root of it.
