    JUNIOR HIGH GAME GOES OVER UNTIL FRIDAY-TECH MEETS STEELTON TOMORROW
TEAMS IN GOOD SHAPE FOR
ANNUAL THANKSG % IVING GAME;
STEELTON ANXIOUS TO SCORE
"WI'TAIN HATS i-'KANK I '■ '-M K 1 i
With 555 points scored by the Tech,
football machine in nine contests, ,
Tech will wind up the regular season l
on the Island to-morrow afternoon |
with Steelton High School as the op-I
pcnent. Steelton'e one ambition w ill ■
be to score, and thus smirch the un- I
tainted record of the Maroon w '^ r " ,
l iors. To cross the Tech goal line j
will be as good as a victory for the j
steel towners.
Greensburg, Mercersburg and a
host of other teams tried to do the ;
same thing, and every lad on the Ma- ;
toon eleven claims that Steelton will!
share the same fate as the rest of the |
opponents.
No team in the country has a rec- i
ord as enviable as the one set up by >
the Tech team. Center College, down j
in Kentucky, is the only college team
that has scored 400 points. Hut here
in Harrisburg is a team that has j
knocked out 555 points. Some record. ,
Beck lias Bad Arm
Carl Beck still carries his right arm !
Sr. a sling, and without him Tech will j
be minus her best offensive player.;
Whether he will be able to play in ;
the Thanksgiving contest is a ques
tion. Wilsbach also has a bad knee j
that may give him some trouble. Cap-
MANLIUS PLAYS
ERIE TOMORROW
Now Yorkers Will Meet the
Strongest Team on Their
Schedule
Syracuse. X. Y., )Nov. 26.— Mail- |
lius Schools' football team, winners j
of the Central New York prepara- j
tory title, will face its supreme test .
of the season on Thanhsgiiing Day. (
when the Cadets wil clash at Erie, j
Pa., with the Central High school
combination of that city. The Erie ,
eleven is yet to be deteated, and .
has piled up a total of 291 points
against the 19 scored by its oppo- :
nents. .
Hut two teams have crossed the
Frie goal line this season. Tona
wanda High School was the first to
do so. but drew the short end of
a 10 to 6 score. Lafayette High >
School of Buffalo, one of the best |
schoolhov football machines in M est
ern New York, was the only other ,
team to score, but lost 32 to 13. I
Manlius Is Strong
Manlius, while not undefeated, has .
had a verv successful season on the !
gridiron. ' Her defeats have been j
limited almost wholly to games I
plaved with husky freshmen elevens
of New York State universities, :
Syracuse and Colgate both claim
Manlius scalps, but the Prop. School
eleven held the Maroon Fresh to a
2 to 0 score, although outweighed
many pounds to a man.
Since the Colgate game staged as
a preliminary to the Colgate-Syra
cuse varsity battle, the Red and
Black have been resting up and
pointing for the Erie game. Erie Is ;
n historic rival of Manlius. and hon
ors to date are about even. I
Coach Bill Girton. of the Cadets, I
yesterday started his proteges on the
final grind of training work. The
scrimmage of yesterday will be fol
lowed to-day by a light workout,
and and then the squad will hit the |
trail for Erie. Manlius will spring a
series of new plays on the Keystone
eleven, the past two weeks having
been spent in perfecting them.
Tooli at Frio •
rn Saturday Erie plays the Tech
High School team of Harrisburg, at
Erie. The Keystoners have not been
defeated or even scored on. Tech
has totaled 533 points on their op
ponents. The latter included the
best eastern teams available. The
Ha rrishurgers claim the champion
ship of the Fn'ted States, and will
P!;IV Masten Park High School, of
Buffalo, on December 6, and Scott

i Next week will mark the opening ;
of the two-game-a-week program of ;
I the Harrisburg Independent basket- J
) ball team. There will be two con- (
tests this week, one to-morrow
i night and one Saturday night, but !
| that of to-morrow is a holiday :
game.
! The decision to play an additional
' game each week was made follow
ing a pressure that was brought to j
' bear upon the Independent manage- j
i inent bv many fans of the game who ,
i are unable to get to the Saturday j
tilts. It is the intention of Man- !
' ager Ford to continue to secure j
; strong attractions for every game. ;
1 and the fans will be given the best
I during the winter months.
The Garnets, booked to oppose the
! "Indies" to-inorrow. Thanksgiving
| night, are sure to give a good ac
count of themselves. Dienes and
| Haire, the two elongated forwards
| of the combination, have played in
1 Harrisburg on a number of occa
j sions. and have always showed up
! well. The fact that four of the five
j members of the Garnet team have
! been playing together for years is
J an item in their favor, for it should
i guarantee a fast and clever con
test.
Little information has been se
! cured here as yet concerning the
j Norristown team, which is to be
j the opponent of the Independents in
i the Saturday night game this week,
i Norristown has long boasted a good
representative combination. and
i there is no reason to believe that
there will be any change in the
I caliber this year.
H. C. OF L. SOLVED
"Borneo has solved the H. C. of
i, L„" says a leter from Dr. J. M.
' Hoover, of Chambersburg. "Every
' member of the family merely grabs
a piece of the hardened boiled rice
j and makes a meal of it. The second
1 course of the meal, or the other
! meal of the day consists of old
: park; very appetizing, of course."
I Styles in Borneo go according to
: the shape of women's ears, also.
There are no politics, very few taxes
; and everybody works. Dr. Hoover
advises those who are discontented
, with the industrial unrest of this
i country to go to Borneo.
THANKSGIVING SERVICE
i There will be special Thangsgiv
ing service in the Park Street United
| Brethren Church Thanksgiving Day,
lat 10 o'clock. The sermon will be
I pdeached by the assistant pastor,
! Rev. S. A. Miller, on "He Thankful
•Unto Him." Special music will be
rendered under the direction of Mr,
I Bower.

SATURDAY GAME
TO BE THRILLER
Army Wants Navy Scalp, but
the (iobs Dispute This
Argument <
Harrisburg is going to see some
of the best football ever played in
this city when the soldiers and sail
ors mix it up on ,Island Park Satur
day afternoon at 3 o'clock. With
Tech gone away to Erie to win more
laurels for the Maroon, Harrisburg
i football tans will find an able sub
stitute for their arena tastes.
The doughboys and gobs are go
ing to put on a show that will last
for a long time in the memory of
the crowd that will watch the game.
From "Pat" Reagan, captain of the
Army team, on down through the '
lowliest scrub, the hardboiled wear
ers of the wrapped leggins are going
to put out some play that will stand
the gobs on their ears, at least that's
what they say, but the Sailors have
a different story. They declare that
I they are going to carry the Army i
along the same way they were doing
it last year.
Although they were playing a
i much bigger game last year about
, this time, the ex-service men have
| not forgotten how to use the pig
| skin, and followers of boxing say
that when Johnny Gill, the well
| known scrapper and halfback on the
Army team, gets into action, the fur
is bound to fly. Gill is in fine shape
and says he is anxious to get a
chance at the game again.
Navy followers are not saying
very much yet, as they claim that
there are not sufficient seadogs
around Harrisburg to cope with the
Army fighters; but as there are sev
eral places still open, gobs who want 1
to get into the game can call up
Welly Jones, at the editorial rooms
of the Telegraph, and fix it up with
him. Tickets will be on sale to-day.
Rote Won Laurels With
Lehigh in Year's Games;
Big Factor Last Saturday
| Football fans who have followed the
gnme this season have not overlook
ed Rote, the former Central High and
Gettysburg star. Referring to the
work of the Lehigh team in Saturdav's 1
i game with Isifayette, Fred Nonno- i
mnrher. sport writer on the Bethlehem
Globe says:
"I hope Rote gets into the game
to-morrow and if lie does, watch him
go. remarked a Lehigh man the day
before the game when discussion was
prevalent over the probable lineup.
| This remark came after some one had
I said they feared Rote, due to his early !
season injury, had lost most of his
I dash and pep. and the response to this
i was: 'The little fellow due to his in
juries. was handicapped the greater
part of the season but I believe he is
right now and know that with his
father and mother and someone else ■
sitting In the stands he is likely to 1
run wild.' This prophecy came true, i
for during the period he remained in !
the game he proved himself a valu- |
able man to The only six j
points garnered came as a result of i
the gfneralship and effort of the di- |
mlnutlve quarterback. The plav that
sent him across after a sprint of
thirty yards was well planned, par
ticularly so when it is recalled that
the well chosen attack caught the
I well drilled Sutherland machine en
tirely off its guard. Lehigh students
can feel justly proud of the llurrls
blirg boy who together with Mike
Wilson. Isirkin. Booth, Spagnu and
'Vic' Wysockl, were bulwarks of
strength on Lehigh attack and do
, fense.' ;

GILL TO FIGHT
SHEELER AT YORK
A
[Borrell Refuses to Make the;
Weight For Battle; Strong
Windup Feature
\<>i'k, Nov. 26.—Another line box- j
j ing card of Importance is in store 1
j for local fight fans on Tuesday, Dc
j cetnbcr 2, in which Johnny Gill, the
| local pride and Kid Sheeler are
j matched in the windup. This show
i will be under the management of
i Harry White, a former bantam
■ weight boxer, and who has recently
! returned from overseas with Uncle
| Sam's forces.
| He tried to match Joe Borrell with
Gill but the former refused to make ;
the weight limit for Johnny and as
a result the bout is off. Borrell is
more of a light heavyweight and Gill
refused to meet him at catch
weights. So in his place Kid Sheeler
has been secured. Sheeler met Gill
I in this ity several years ago when
both lads were new to the boxing
I game and since that time both boys
| have made gigantic strides in the
fistic game. Sheeler is more than
j anxious for another chance at the
local pride and he is determined to
get the best of him. Sheeler recently I
knocked out Frankie Erne and since !
that time has been going on clean- '
ing up everything in sight.
In the semi-windup will be seen
i Paddy Sylvester, of Shamokin, ami
I Cyclone Smith, of Lancaster. Both
of these lads are rugged lightweights
I and from all indications the bout
will be a slashing affair. Smith is
the lad who recently went ten
rounds with Billy Angelo at Steel
i ton and claims to have lost out by
a close decision on points.
In the third bout of the evening
i pick Gotwalt, the local flyweight
boxer, will be opposed by Martin
Judge, of Atlantic City. Gotwalt re
cently returned from a tour of the
middle west where he did some ex
cellent work. Not much is known
of Judge but he claims that he will
take the measure of the York boy
in their meeting in a local ring.
Two more bouts are scheduled for
this show and they will be an
nounced later.
