IT LOOKS LIKE PORTLAND FOR TECH'S OPPONENT- REAL FIGHTING FRIDAY NIGHT LOCAL TOSSMS wm FREAK SAME Defctil £S^ w 99S! Five; Pit cairn C'isaiiips Here Sat urday Night Harrisburg Independents last night, outplayed Rookwood five of Philadel phia, winning by a score of 40 to SO. It was a freakish game. The locals excelled in good basketball, the visit ors showing good floor work, but were poor In shooting. Fouls were numerous. Both teams were slow In getting down to work. It was a rough game at times. Pitcairn, last season's champion ship team of the Western Pennsylva nia League, is to be the attraction on the Chestnut Street Hall floor Satur day night In a game with the Harrls burg Independents. The contest should provide a good exhibition of tlic Indoor game, for the Pitcairn team has. the reputation of being an excellent passing combina tion, and its players are all good, shots. Ike McCord, who did not participate In last night's contest with the Rook wpod Ave, is expected to be back In uniform for the Independents Satur day, and his presence should correct the faulty team-work that was no ticeable during yesterday's fray. The lir.eup of the local team will be the same otherwise, with Moorehead at center. The lineup and summary last night follow: HARRISBURG F.a. Fls. Ast.

EDISON PLANS CAGE SEASON Will Meet Camp Curtin in a Series of Games For Local Title Footbull has passed from thp [ Junior High School stage with the ending of the Camp Curtin game and I basketball has entered to take the place vacated by the gridiron sport. Soon the interest that surrounded the gridiron will be centered about the basketball floor. Edison Junior High will have a team as will Camp Curtin. These two teams will again be rivals for the honors of a city championship. Here again every game will be but a prPparutlon for the great struggle of the season. There will however probably be this difference, Ithe champion will have to win a series Instead of bne game. Since Edison has lost the football [Championship for this season, the loyal citizens of Edison will be all the more anxious to place a strong basketball outfit on the floor In the hope that Edison may to some ex tent retrieve the advantages lost when the football championship passed to Camp Curtin. Edison Is Game The Edison warriors will not sulk In the tent because of Initial defeat and when the call for basketball candidates is Issued within the next few days a large number of men will respond. The response will be Just as spirited at Camp Curtin where their reputation Is already won but must be retained. Rivalry between the* two teams promises to be keen and the lovers of basket ball will see some very Interesting sport this winter. Both schools have good floors. Edison will be better equipped in this respect than Camp Curtin for the Edison building has one of the nicest gymnasiums In the city and It is doubtful if there is a better basketball floor in Harrisburg. Klect Officers The Edison School started their work in basketball by electing man agers and assistant managers for both a girls' and a boys' basketball team. These elections were held last week but the results were not announced until to-day. The offi cers elected are: Manager of the boy's basketball team, John Knox 9B 3; asssitant manager of the boy's team, George Heagy BA-5; manager of the girl's basketball team, Doro thy Paine 98-3; assistant manager 6f the girl's team, Ethel Bickel, BA-5. Penn Must Change Rules Covering Eligibility Philadelphia. December 3. lf Penn is eager to resume footbalt with the Big Three, the Red and Blue must first change Its eligibility standards. That is the attitude of Yale, Har vard and Princeton. Coaches and football officials who were at Satur day's Yale-Harvard game are em phatically of one voice In saying that Penn will not be considered in their schedules until the rules which they enforce are adopted by the Reds and Blue. Percy Ilaughton, former coach at Harvard, and still the dominant fig ure in the Crimson's football affairs, summed up the situation when he said: "Harvard, ifale and Princeton should play only those teams which observe the same eligibility rules. This eliminates freshmen and grad uate students." Penn observes the freshmen rule, but she does permit men in the graduate schools—those studying law, medicine or dentistry—to play on the teams. Members of the Big Three restrict their athletic repre sentatives to the college department. That is the big point of difference.

In the East has started outside promoters gossiping. The first letter regarding the match, practically being clinched was re ceived yesterday by Barrett. AJile Smith, the Buffalo promoter and manager of boxers, wrote Bar rett that there Is only one way for Gill to get a chance at O'Dowd be fore his club, and that was to beat Knockout Brennen, the Buffalo scrapper, who holds the middle weight championship of the New England states. Brennen holds vic tories over the present champion, Mike Gibbons, Jack Britton, the wel terweight champion: Soldier Bart lleld, Joe Borrell, In fact all the top notchers have felt the sting of Bren nen's terrible punch. Herman Miller, who fought Borrell in Steelton last season, was knocked out by Bren nen. Brennen is known as the most ferocious fighter in the ring to-day, hence his popularity wherever he once shows. Big Steelton Card At the next show at Steelton, scheduled for Monday night. Man ager will announce the date for the battle between Gill and Bren nen. The Steelton promoter Is of fering big terms to get the Buffalo fighter here. It is probable letters will also be read from the Eastern promoters who want GUI to meet O'Dowd. The windup feature Monday night Is causing much talk among local fight fans. Billy Angelo meets George (Kid) Alberts. The latter is a tough boy who has an awfu! punch and the York lad will have to show some cleveY work to win. This match is for 10 rounds. More Good Boys In the semlwlndup Kid Richmond will battle with Young Fulton, of Allentown. Richmond is popular here. Willie Langford and Jimmy Duncan are also expected to offer a big thriller. I>angford gave Dun can hard punishment two weeks ago, but the Middletown boy wad not in shape, and since has been training hard. In the preliminaries will be Chris Htldebrandt, of Steelton, and Joseph Kissinger, of York; and Harry Hlldebrandt, of Steelton, and Billy Zimmerman, of Hehey. The shojv starts at 8.30 and there will be no delays. Tickets are on sale at Fair lamb's, Steelton, and indications point to a record crowd.

Football Is Crowding National Game For Honors; Big Crowds See tbe Games baseball Is having-hls toes trod upon. In the matter of attend ance. at least, the diamond pastime Is being crowded for first place by football. t Sixteen of the season's big grid iron battles drew crowds of close to 400,000. It is estimated conserva tively that 500,000 people enjoyed the sport every Saturday afternoon. Some of the big games and the attendance were: Cornell-Dart mouth, 25,000; Colgate-Dartmouth, bo,000; Penn-Penn State, 15,000; (In rain); Princeton-Harvard, 35,000; Yale-Brown, 25.000; Pittsburgh- Washington and Jefferson, 20,000; Notre Dame-West Point, 10.000; Yale-Princeton, 66,000; Syracuse- Colgate, 32,000; Penn-Plttsburgh, 25,000; Wllllams-Amherst, 12,000; Trlnlty-Lafayette, 7,000; Navy-Col by, J0.000; Army-Syracuse, 10,000) Michigan-Chicago, 20,000; Michigan- Ohio, 20,000; Chicago-Illinois, 18,- 000; Northwestern-Wisconsin. 5,000. Even high school football was pro ductive of bumper crops of attend ance. At West Sominerville, Mass., 15,000 turned out to see the Bom mervllle-Medford high school game. The crowd poured out on the field in such numbers that the game had to be called at the end of the sec ond period. • When the Immense Yale bowl with its seating capacity of close to 70,- 000 was built, some of the skeptics recommended the Ell officials for a sanity test. But It has proved in adequate for the crowds attending the Big Three battles. Stadiums to be erected in the future may provide for 100,000 If the gridiron sport con tinues Its growing popularity.

Jt[/ I I H ||g R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO.. N. C. RING PROMOTERS MAKE CHANGES New Jersey Association Takes Steps to Better the Fight Game I i * Philadelphia, Dec. B.—The New- Jersey Boxing Promoters' Associa- I tlon is officially in existence. The j New Jersey Boxing Commission has ■ recognized the body and promised J the promoters co-operation with them in every way possible to make the sport better In New Jersey und help them in avoiding the pitfalls that the sport has run afoul of In other states. A 1 Waldron, of Trenton, was chosen president of the organiza tion and an executive committee was j named to consider the several sub jects discussed at the initial meeting at the Robert Treat Hotel in New lark. Fourteen of the 22 clubs in the state were represented. One of the very first proposals of the promoters was to suggest to tho next Legislature that the state tax of 10 per cent he reduced somewhat. The promoters contend that this tax is a very heavy burden and pointed to the fact that $50,000 is expected to drop into the coffers of the state before June of next year without considering for a moment any big fight that may he staged during the peridd. The suggestion may bear some fruit. To Reduce Free Id.At Another suggestion was that the "free list" be reduced to a sensible limit. All the promoters complained that they were hard hit—especially when staging a big fight—by every Tom, Dick and Harry who even once knew a politician for tickets. It is likely that a sane list will be framed. Star boxers and their demands came In for a lot of discussion and after the pros ogid cons were consid ered the feeling was that this pait of the program would go up In smoke. i The proposition of fixing a maxi mum purse for the stars was knocked down by'the majority as a foolish plan. They said -that nobody was going to pay any more money than they could make money at and that the matter would take care of Itself automatically. One of the club representatives who conducts a comparatively small organization In Jersey City was desirous of having the all-star cards as staged by the larger clubs done away with, stating that it was his belief one star bout was big enough. He claimed the big clubs were fast consuming" the possible matches. Dave Maekay. of the Newark Sports man's Club, squenched that by say ing that one of the biggest single star cards he hailwaa a losing busi ness proposition and that none of the all-star cards was. The executive committee that was appointed was asked to consider all the propositions advanced and re port git the next meeting which will be called by the chair. Babe Ruth May Enter Ring as Heavyweight Battler By Associated Press Los Angeles, Cal., l>eo. 3. —"Babe" Ruth, outfielder for the Boston American League baseball club (and champion home run hitter of the world, may become a professional heavyweight boxer, it was announced to-day.

"If McCoy and S.t, .1 ohiL think I have any fu ture, I" am"willing to do everything they ask." MATCH SHERIDAN IN BATTLE HERE Johnny Herman Is Not Ex-* peeled to Have Easy Time Friday Niglit When the promoters of the Harriw i burg Boxing Association picked I man to meet Johnny Herman in th 4 star bout at the Chestnut street audi< torium on Friday night, December S they landed a good boy. Tommy Sheri dan, who will oppose Herman is on of the hardest hitting lightweights ll the game to-day. He is a sensational performer In every respect. Doting the past nix months he forged to th front with such rapid strides that to day experts pick him as a possiblt opponent for Benny Leonard withil ihe next few months. How rapidly Herman has been im proving can best be inferred by mak ing a few comparisons. A little over a year ago lie boxed Allentown Dunde4 and Dundee outpointed him handily, l>ast week he boxed Dundee again, ten rounds in pottsville, and reports say Dundee was lucky to last ths limit.
