Four Years in Football
Without Missing One Game
Arlo Sanderson, of Lost Nation,
; la., a senior at Cornell College
(Iowa) "has played four years of
college football and never missed
a minute out of the play of any
game and never had time taken out
for him. Sanderson has been se
lected as tackle for various all lowa
. football teams for three years. He
1 has also played three years of col
: lege basketball and is on the team
now. He has been selected for all
lowa basketball teams twice.
He is a star baseball player and
an all around track man. At the
leading field meet in which Cornell
1 college participated last year, he
made nineteen points. Another re
cord of which he is proud is that in
all his participation in college sports
no opponent has ever accused him of
rough play or anything but absolute
sportsmanship.
Sandersot came to college from
a little town of 50 population and
before arriving at Cornell had never
played in a football game of any
kind. In addition to his athletic
prowess, "Sandy," is president of
the college student council and
prominent in various student ac
tivities.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
RIFLE SHOOTERS BACK
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION;
HAS MANY ACTIVE CLUBS
Why We Are Sure the Rifle Range Idea Is Right
Because Military Experts in all lands and from the earliest times
have made accurate aim the first requisite of a good soldier.
Because more battles have been won by good marksmanship
than by any other method.
Because Lord Roberts, In the early part of the world war, urged
Englishmen to learn to shoot, above all things else.
Because Lord Roberts was authority for the statement thut the
war would be won by that army which could shoot the straightest.
Because Lord Kitchener, after visiting the front, sent home the
plea: "For Heaven's sake, teach the men to shoot."
Because Maj. Get?. McLachlan deplored the condition of military
training such as caused an English soldier to chase a Hun through
No-Man's Land with a loaded rifle, in an effort to bayonet him.
Because General Pershing, time after time, pleaded for more
and better conducted rifle practice.
Because statistics indicate that only one enemy was killed for
every 45,000 bullets fired on the battle front.
Because it took only one-half as many rounds to "get" a man
in the Civil War.
And. above all.
Because, after the Marine Sharpshooters entered the trenches,
every second shot was effective, a statement which may be slightly
exaggerated, but which is, on general principles of intelligent war
fare astounding truthful.—The Bullet.
Probably no single organization
has done more to promote small
arms practice in the Army, Navy
and Marine Corps and especially
among the civilians, as has the Na
tional Ride Association.
When the United States declared
war in April of 1917, the National
ltiile Association was able to present
to the Army a great number of men
who were capable of instructing the
new Army in the use of small arms.
To-day the work of the Associa
tion, which is semi-official, reaches
from Maine to California and even
to the wilds of Alaska, there being
between twenty-three hundred and
twenty-four hundred clubs that are
affiliated with the Association and
are actively engaged in promoting
the art of rifle shooting among the
citizens of their communities.
These clubs, which are scattered
throughout the country, have either
ranges of their own or are mak
ing use of the Navy rifle ranges,
upon which they carry on a com
plete system of small arms instruc
tion among their membership un
der the guidance of the N. R. A.

Snappy Bouts Feature
Promoter White's Show |
York. Dec. 18. —Four snappy bouts
fairly bristling with pep and action,
treated local fight fans to the un
usual, at Promotor Harry V hite s
boxing show. A lone setto ended
with one of the principals occupy
ing a downy bed in dreamland.
In the windup Billy Angelo, clever
light-weight of this city, fought Ed
die Moy, of Allentown. to a draw
in a six-round bout. Angelo had
A 1 Lipp's fighter guessing in the
first trio of rounds, holding a de
cided shade over the visitor. How
ever, Moy's pugilistic ability began
to appear in the fourth session when
he dropped his defensive methods
and became more aggressive, yet
not so much as the York fighter.
During the last two rounds, both
men mixed things up and gave each
other a sound drubbing.
In the semi-windup, Dick Got
walt. York was outpointed by
Tommy Murray, of Philadelphia, in
a fast six-round tight. The Phila
delphlan was substituted at the last
minute for Jimmy Beckett, and de
lighted the large crowd with his
fighting powers.
Joe Christy, of Pittsburgh, was
knocked out early in the second
period of a scheduled six-round
bout by Jack Perry, of Philadelphia.
Joe Green. York, threw up the
sponge in the third round of the
opening after taking a severe drub
bing from Henry Coen, Lancaster.
It was announced that Johnny
Gill, York's popular middleweight
boxer, who is on the trqil of Mike
O'Dowd, holder of the middleweight
crown, will meet Willie Laughlin,
of South Bethlehem, at Harry
White's new show.
ROTARIAXS TO HAVE LEAGUE
A bowling committee has been ap
pointed for the Harripburg Rotary
Club and Dwight L. M. Raker has
been named chairman. The first con

Big Drive in New York
to Keep Football Going
New York, Dec. 18.—The goal of
the campaign to raise a permanent
football fund at the College of the
City of New York was set at $50,000
at a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee yesterday. The original
amount was SIO,OOO. The new fig
ure was made necessary by the fact
that from estimates the committee
has received, thq cost of equipment,
services of an experienced coach
and enclosing the Lewisohn Stadium
will require at least SIO,OOO, and
would therefore leave nothing for
the support of future elevens.
This last has been considered by
the Faculty Athletic Committee to
be the great difficulty to be overcome
before it can give its sanction to the
under-graduates' petition for the re
storation of football. A permanent
football fund, which will not only
tide the team over the first season,
but support succeeding teams, will
meet this difficulty, the committee
feels, and thus makes more certain
affirmative action on the petition bv
the Faculty Committee.
More than $3,000 in pledges have
already been received by the Ex
ecutive Committee although the
campaign is still three weeks off.
It is confident that the alumni will
rally to the support of football at
the college, where it has not been
played since 1908. The undergrad
uates' quota of $3,000 has not been
changed.
May Win Fourth Letter
in Harvard Athletics
Charles "Tubby" Clark, of Milton,
stellar right guard for the Harvard
team this fall, the man against whom
I ale aimed its last play near the
goal lino at the Stadium, November
22, and who tossed back the Bulldog,
probably saving the game for the
Crimson, already Is a three "H"
man. He won the coveted letter in
hockey, where he was coverpoint
on the track team, where he was
shot putter and in football. Now
he is planning to go out for the
baseball team, the one which Jack
Slatter.v will coach. Tubby will re
port with the pitching candidates.
He is a big fellow, a legitimate
200-pounder, but captain und coach
believe that the big fellow has tho
tiecessury stufT and that he stands
a good chance to come through. He
pitched with success at Milton Acad
emy. And if he made his letter in
hescball he will be the Crimson's first
four letter man.
The hockey team presumably will
lose Tuliby's servicos, but where the
Ice squail loses a very efficient de
fense man, tho baseball team will
gain Just where it now seems It will
require all the strength available.
For the word comes out of New Ha
\en thut Capt, Howell "Rabbit"
Sawyer will lead an extra strong
Yale nine on the diamond In the
spring well equipped with pitchers.
CAGE ACTIVITY
AT EDISON HIGH
Coach Miller Talks to Candi- j
dates; Arrange For Practice; j
Girls Have Team
Basketball activity is now in order I
at Edison Junior High School. Eu- I
gene (Shorty) Miller is coach, and j
he has started work with a num- i
ber of candidates. The girls will also
have a team. Due to the delay in
material the gymnasium was not I
ready until yesterday.
■* Coach Miller gave the candidates
a talk on the general principles of
the gaino and arrangements were
made for the practices to be held j
throughout the season. As the girls. l
will have a team and will practice j
on the same floor, the boys will j
hold their practices three evenings \
per week after the close of school, j
The girls will use the floor on the ;
remaining evenings of the week.
Coach Miller will meet the boys for
the first time this evening.
Schedule Includes Camp Curtin
The schedule is not complete,
hut it will Be built around the
three principal games of the sea
son, with Camp Cuftin. These
games will be played as follows, one j
about the end of January, the next |
about the middle of February and I
the third near the first of March. !
It is quite likely that the third game
will be played on a neutral floor. \
The Edison boys hope to redeem j
the loss suffered recently at the ;
hands of the West End school.
John Knox, of section 98-3. who \
is manager of the boy's team, is I
trying to arrange a complete soiled- ■
ule of first-class attractions from !
the high schools nearby. It is quite j
probable that he will be able to se- \
cure games with Steelton and York |
second teams. It is also likely that j
the schedule will include games
with Milton and Sunbury High j
schools. . .
