'ULENN WARNER
HAS HARD WORK
Material Poorest in Years;
Coach Will Have Big
Squad in Camp
Pittsburgh, Sept. 6.—The Uni
versity of Pittsburgh football candt-
Sates will be assembled by Coach
% Glenn S. 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. University of Pennsyl
vania at Philadelphia; November 22,

CANDIDATES OUT
FOR TECH TEAM
Sixty Respond to Call at Con
ference; "Bus" Snyder
Manager
Sixty candidates for the Tech- |
nical High School's football team
responded to the call for candidates
at a mass meeting held in the school
auditorium yesterday afternoon at
the close of School. Coach Smith,
Faculty Director Grubb and Cap
tain "Haps" Frank were th? prin
c.pal speakers. The t*rn out was
the largest ever at Tech, and in
dicates the interest that is being
manifest for the great gridiron sport.
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,
' ! Eaton, Shuey, Ellis, Snyder, Pleam,
1 j Strawhecker, Rick, Germer. Aaron
; son, Swartz, George, Black, Aldinger,
! | H. Ellinger, Ellis, Harter, Huber,
! Iticedorf, liinehard Palm, Bricker,
! Springer, Seidel. Philippelli. Smith,
1 [ Dunkleberger, Diener, Beckley, and
' j Speakman. 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.

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.

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. The only thought seems
in keeping wages down. 0
In conclusion if there is any saving
In cost by the daylight saving law,
you may be sure the working man
will never be getting the benefit of it,
but will only lose his sleep at the time
he needs it most. Very Respectfully,
A TAXPAYER.
