• BILLY ANGELO MAKES KID ALBERTS QUIT IN SEVENTH ROUND OF HARD RING BATTLE TECH HAD BEST TEAM IN GAME WITH PORTLAND, 5.4 YS READING SPORT WRITER An interesting spectator at Satur day's game between Tech and Port land, was P. H. Culp, sport editor of the Reading Times-News and Tele gram. He is recognized as an au thority on the grid game, and is £ strong for scholastic sports. Here is what he has to say about the great battle: t BY P. H. CM P, Sport Editor Bonding News-Times "After Saturday's game between Harrisburg Tech and Portland I heard a number of comments oil the tine game the Portland boys put up, and among Harrisburgers there seemed to be an idea that Portland would have won the game had they had a team as heavy as Tech's team. Tech won the game purely on superior playing and as a close follower of football and a former football player of four years' ex perience, I would like to state briefly my reasons for saying that Tech had the better team in every way. Tech Played Hotter "Tech won the game on better playing, with a finely-coached team and with the kind of confidence which cannot he beaten. Tech piled up a total of 06 points by reason of its heavier line, its splendid inter ference and with generalship which would have done credit to a col lege team. Portland could have come to Harrfeburg with a team equal in weight, man to man, to PENN DECIDES TO CLEAN HOUSE Strict Amateur Code to Be in Order in Future; Re form Program Philadelphia, December 9—The Uni versity of Pennsylvania is going to clean house in an athletic way. The movement to cleanse sports was launched yesterday and resulted in the following program of reform: First—To apologize to all of Penn's opponents this season against whom Paul Pearee, a self-declared profes sional and inflelder of the Cubs played. Second—Probable denial of the var sity letter to Ben IJerr, reported to have played on a professional team during the varsity playing season. Third—To discipline Heinie Miller ana Jim Neylon, who played on a pro fessional teum at the close of the season. They may be denied their college letters. Tight Rules Fourth—To tighten eligibility rules so that they will conform with Har vard, Yale and Princeton. Fifth—Will put no team on the Penn schedule that does not have the new strict eligibility code of the Red and Blue. Sixth—Will drop Lafayette from the j920 schedule unless the Eastoniadis agree not to play Dumoe, the brilliant end rush, whose amateur status they question. This action was decided on at a meeting held yesterday at the athlet ic association of the university, at which every member of the football committee of the college was present. The meeting, a heated one, started in the afternoon and continued until 7.30 when it was decided to adjourn and finish the uncompleted business next Thursday. These Grid Stars Know How to Consume Food AminpoliH. Md.. Dec. 9.—A coon and an opossum were the trophies of the chase in which the Naval Academy football team celebrated the close of the football season. s The opossum was first treed and Rooney, a substitute back, climbed the tree and shook him down. The raccoon was not taken until 4 o'clock this morning. Among the refreshments consumed by the hunters were a barrel of oysters. 25 pounds of "hot dogs," 69 pies, with gallons of hot coffee and innumerable sandwiches. j ' i Practical Men j I Want Practical j Xmas Gifts 1 j j Here's a Store Just Full I ■ t of Them I t i i i I Silk Shuts, Neckwear, I j Mufflers, Bath Robes, | t House Coats, Gloves, j i Silk and Initial Hand- | | kerchiefs, Hosier v, j | Suits and Overcoats. j i ! 4 McFall's Label Signi- ? | fies Superior Quality ! ; j | OPEN EVENINGS McFall's | f Third and Market Sts. j f I : TUESDAY EVENING, Tech, and would have gone back defeuted nevertheless. With a team equal in weight to Tech they might have kept the score down, but they would have been beaten because they were up against a better team. "Both on the offense and defense Tech was superior. Comparing the two teams we tind that Tech ex celled in every department of the game. Even in forward passing, which was Portland's' chief line of attack in the second half, Tech had the edge. Portland's desperate aerial attack was praiseworthy, but it was a wild attempt to seore. On the other hand, Tech did not bother much with the forward pass, but when she did it was the real thing. Their fake end run, ending with a forward pass, took Portland oft its feet. "Tech had an end run, starting from what looked like a tackle play, which baffled Portland every time. The Portland defense rushed to tackle and Tech's backfield slipped around end for easy Jaunts to the goal line. "Everyonb who saw the game must commend the generalship which carried Tech through the game. There was not a moment's hesitation. Every play was called with a sureness which imparted the spirit of confidence into the play ers. All in all, it was a fine, clean game, the kind of game one enjoys seeing." TECH CHAMPIONS READY FOR REST Maroon Team to Be Busy; Plans Under Way For Basketball While memories of the 1919 foot ball season will linger in the minds of the Tech students for the re mainder of their lives, the season is a matter of record, and the play ers themselves will be feted on dif ferent occasions before the holidays in honor of the wonderful work they did the past season. One thing is certain. There will be no more games. Tech stood ready to play all comers any times and at any place. Tech does not claim to be, champion. Tech IS the champion. Football weather is at an end. This was clearly demon strated Saturday when a fierce wind and snow made the contest anything but pleasant for the spectators and players. Candidates For Captain There is the usual amount of in terest in the question of a captain for next year. "Johnny" Arnold, Karl Iloffsommer, "Bobby" Books, "Snaps" Emanuel and Ray Garrett are eligible. Each one has an equal chance, in point of service Arnold is the oldest player. He made the varsity in his first year, and has played three seasons on the line. Emanuel and Garrett worked, them selves up from Reserves, while Iloff sommer and Books are playing their first season of varsity ball. Before football is finally laid away, a cap tain for next season will be selected from this quintet of players. The election will take place at the an nual banquet. iki.sketball Next Dr. Fager and the cheer leaders took a little time yesterday morning to speak of Tech's great victory over Portland. Everyone was pleas ed with the visiting team. They felt that they were defeated by a better team, and were not disgruntled about it. Portland had nothing but words of praise for their .stay in this city. The basketball candidates Ivill soon be called out as the alumni game will be played the latter part of this month. "Doc" Miller, of the Y. M. C. A., will likely be the coach again this season. He has been in charge the last two years. As a goodly number of lust year's team remain in school, another pen nant-winner should represent Tech High in the cage. Local Shots Figure in Trophies in Reading Event Bending.

Carpentier Awaits Answer From Dempsey's Manager II y Associated Press I'nrls. Dec. S.—Georges Carpentier, the French fighter who won the championship of Europe from Joe Beckett at London, returned to Paris last evening. "I have signed nothing. I am wait ing for offers. I want—a little time to think it over." he said. M. Decoin, manager of the Wonder land Sporting Club of Paris, who on Saturday sent a cablegram to Jack Kcarns, -offering to deposit whatever amount Jack Dempsey would ask for a 20-round fight with Carpentier on July 14, informed the Associated Press that he would deposit one mil lion francs with the Equitable Trust at Paris to-morrow to guarantee Dempsey's end, although the Ameri can champion has not yet replied to his message stating his terms. Carpentier spoke highly of the sportsmanship of the British public, but added that he was sure Americans -tvould be equally fair. Nevertheless, he preferred to meet Dempsey in France. Asked wha,t he thought of his chances with Dempsey, Carpentier 'replied: "I understand Dempsey la a great fighter."

C. T My Angelo with his sledge ham mer blows made Kid Alberts of Reading quit in the seventh round. It was scheduled for ten rounds, but Alberts was becoming weaker every minute, and he docs not like a "K. O." to his record. That is just what would have happened had he con tinued the tight. Rules give Angelo the victory, and a decisive one, and there is no covering up on a techni cal point for Alberts. Alberts and Angelo fought hard. In the fourth round the Reading tighter got into an argument with Referee White, of York. Alberts was violating instructions in clinches and White took him to task several times. Alberts, according to the ref eree, made a very ungentlemanly remark and White caught the lighter by the back of the neck and forced him. away from Angelo. The spec tators did not take kindly to White's action as referee and Joe Barrett took charge in the ring. Alberts is not the kind of boxer who will prove a big attraction in Steelton in the future if he follows tactics resorted to night. Real Fighters The best fight of the evening was between Kid Richmond qf Baltimore und Young Fulton of Allentown. The Baltimore boy was up against a good fighter and had to step some to keep from getting a hard blow. That is just what Richmond did after he found he could do little with Fulton. He kept out of the way of the Al lentown fighter, getting in an occa sional punch. These boys made a big hit and were signed up for a ten-round bout on December 22 at Steelton. Willie Langford who met for the second time Jimmy Duncan, of Middletown, was too much for the latter. Duncan lins the making of a fighter but he gave evidence last night of poor coaching. It was an interesting bout at times. Langford is experienced and Duncan was obliged to stop boxing after 50 sec onds in the fourth round. Duncan thought he broke his thumb, but it was only out of joint. He was badly winded when he refused to fight. Two preliminaries furnished a lot of interest. In the opening round, Crist Hildebrandt, of Steelton, broke Georges Carpentier's record, putting his opponent. Kid Kissinger ,of York, out in 40 seconds. Harry Hilde brandt, of Steelton, quit in the fifth rourrd with Billy Zimmerman, of Hershey, who gave the Steelton bov severe punishment. , Another card is promised on December 22.

HARRISBURG LEAGUE STARTS WINTER SEASON [National Magnates Get To gether; Discuss Changes For Next Year By Associated Press Now York, Dec. 9.—The "winter" baseball season was opened to-day with the annual meeting of the Na tional league. The American Leagu ers will hold their annual meeting here to-morrow and the minor leagues will dispose of their grist lof business later in the week. The ■ new International league which held its annual convention yesterday 1 wound up routine affalfs to-day and | the magnates and players remained | in town to watch the activities of the 1 big leagues. i The club owners of the National League planned a busy session to- I day commencing with the meeting |of the board of directors. The prin cipal business was the settlement of various financial matters and the election of a new board. There will be no election of a president, as President Heydler is serving a three year term. To Cut Cheap Bleachers Another question that aroused | interest was the proposal to elimi i nate the 25-cent bleacher seats at ! National League parks. It was re- J ported that a majority of the direc tors favored abolition of the cheap seats. The air was full of rumors of trade of players. The meeting of the American League to-morrow was t\ie all ab sorbing topic of conversation among the baseball notables. The announce ment that President Ban Johnson and the live "loyal" club owners were on their way here for the meeting was accepted in some quarters as meaning that an end of the internal wrangle in the junior organization was in sight. They are due here from Chicago late this afternoon. The sudden decision of Johnson and his followers to call off the annual meeting in Chicago an'd recognize the authority of the majority mem bers of the board of directors, who issued the call for the New York meeting, was regarded with satisfac tion by American League supporters here.

The little Welshman's superb blocking, bead slipping, accurate hitting and gameness would be more highly appraised under the English system of seorlng points, experts agreed, than by the American ring side men who revel in hard hitting and a rough and smashing stylo: Wilde did not box a defensive oat tle. On the contrary, he did his | share of leading and stood toe to toe and slugged with his heavier oppon ent. But he did not pack the punch (hat was expected of him, a'though his right cross was dangerous until the final bell. Was Too Heavy One disadvantage to the Welshman was his weight, and also the ten round distance was not to his liking, as most of his contests have been over the twenty-round route. Experts pointed out that he probably would have made a better showing had nr. fought at 10:t or 104 pounds, his usual lighting weight. Instead of building himself up to 107 pounds, the require ments of the Wisconsin boxing law. This law requires that there cannot be more than ten pounds difference in the weight of boxers except in the heavyweight class. Sharkey scaled 116 pounds at 7 o'clock. There was no question about Wilde's gameness and the fact that he will take a chance with a heavier opponent suggests that some of the American bantams, harder hitters than Sharkey, may upset the Welsh man in future contests in this country. The receipts of the match were a disappointment. The promoters had figured on 138,000. hut that dwindled to about $19,000. Wilde was guaran teed SII,OOO. win, lose or dfav.
