8 RECOMMENDS INCREASE IN ARMY TO PROTECT CANAL General Wotherepoon Says Present Forces Are Also Inadequate to Take Proper Care of the Philippines in Case of War By Associated Press. Washington Nov. IS.— Declaring it would be impossible to defend the Pan ama canal and American territorial .possessions against attack with present or proposed garrisons unless they could Ibe rapidly reinforced. Major iteneral Wotherspoon, retired chief of staff, in his report to-day recommended the in crease of the regular army to a strength of 205,000 enlisted men. He proposed that that force be augmented, through a eyetem of reserves, until there was created a mobile strength of 300,000 first line troops equipped for a six months' campaign. General Wotherspoon said there was need for more forces to protect rear approaches to American coast defenses and those points not covered by fort resses and 'urged that the organized militia be developed to a strength of 300,000 men. , "It is manifest,"' General Wother spoon asserted, "that the great water way of the Panama canal cannot be protected against the operations of a first-class military Power by the pres ent or proposed garrisons we contem plate placing there, without the power and nihility to reinforce them rapidly from the United States. "That an effective defense against an enterprising enemy in the Philippines could be made with a deficiency of 3o ■per cent, of the manning details of the coast defenses of Manila and Sutoig 'bay and with a mobile force of a little over 7,000 American troops, supple mented by less than 6,000 Philippine scouts, is manifestly impossible; that (we can retain our valua'ble territory of Alaska in its isolated position against an enemy with any military |>o\ver by placing there a garrison of less than 500 verges on the ridiculous, and unless we 'have ample forces at home to occu py that territory in the very earliest stages of an impending conflict. As re gards the Hawaiian Islands, all military persons will recognize that the proposed garrison in this possession is far be low what it should be to meet a se rious attack."

A. desires to announce that the twen ty-first Annual University of Pennsyl vania Relay Race larnival will take place Friday and Saturday, April 23 and 24, 1915. For twenty years these famous races'have developed consistent ly and remarkably. Last year entries were received from colleges and schools from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In addition, Oxford University of England sent over a four-mile relay team. The result of the race is uow athletic his tory, for it proved to be one of the most remarkable races ever run. Jack son. of Oxford, the famous Olympic 1,500 meter champion, won the race in the last relay by a hair from MeCurdy, of Pennsylvania, the Intercollegiate two-mile champion of 1913. This race was the culmination of a meet that was record breaking in mauy ways. When you »are told that nearly 100 colleges aud nearly 200 schools were represent ed at the meet; that it required 2,200 contestants' tickets to admit at the gate the athletes iu the various events; that there were 55 events not counting the heats, and that the whole program was run off between 1 o'clock and 6 o'clock of one afternoon, you will not be surprised to note that the coming Carnival will be made to cover two days. The absolute limit of a one-day meet was reached last year, aud as there is sure to be an increase both in schools anu colleges next spring, it is necessary to have a two days' meeting.

SECOND MEETING OF TECH AND STEELTON SATURDAY Game Will Be Played on Island Park— Kickoff at :t O'clock—Both Teams in Excellent Shape—Central High at Wilkes-Barre Football fans are turning their at tentioa-to-day to the second meeting ol' the Tech and Steeltou teams 011 the Is land Park grounds Saturday afternoon. While Tech rules a favorite, still it is not a foregone conclusion that the game is won beforehand, for Taggart, the Steelton coach, is a man full of ideas and he can be depended to spring them Saturday, Steeltou, too, lias the afldeJ ad vantage of being able to use every thing at her command while Tech must still hold something back for Thanks giving Day for the Central High school. Of course, Tech will spring all she has for Steeltou, should it be necessary to win. It is a safe bet that some Central scouts will be on hand to watch Tech. Steelton did not come out of the game with the Wilkes-Barre team with out some injury to some of its players, but none of them were hurt so badly that they wilt not be able to play Sat urday and unless practice cripples some of the regulars all of the first string men will get into the contest against Tech. The Tech team, on the other hand, which has suffered least of any local team from injuries is in such excellent shape that the players are being given some light practice interspersed with scrimmage to keep them in good con dition for the Thanksgiving Day strug gle. The Maroon backfield, Britsch, Beck, Harris and Beach have rounded into a capable scoring machine. Coach Duukle is teaching his charges a de feuso against the backfield shift em ployed by Steeltou. Tech uses this shift successfully and it should not be hard to develop an efficient defense. Coach Taggart and his assistants are working the Steeltou team overtime these evenings to get them into proper playing for the Tech game. They arc out on the Cottage Hill field from the close of school until darkness settled down getting familiar with plays for the big game. The Tech cheering section will get a chance to show in this game as the students at the local school are pre paring for a big concerted turnout for the afternoon. Th e Tech. band, which lias been one of the surprises of the football season, will assist in the cheer ing. Steelton High will come to Har risburg with a large number of root ers for the game. While a local game such as Tech and Steelton can put up is bound to attract most of the local fans, still the result of Central High's game with Wilkes- Barre, at Wilkes-Barre Saturday aft ernoon, will be watched for with inter est. This is by far the strongest eleven 011 the older school 's schedule and there is little hope of winning. Steelton was roundly trimmed by the Wilkes-Barre crew and besides Central High will not be able to plav its stars, who are still out with injuries. Smeltzer and Diffen bach may get into the game, but Rote's chances are slim. Indeed his chances of getting into the Thanksgiving Day game are slim, his shoulder, which was injured in the first Steelton game, be ing still too sore for football. Rote, however, follows th e Central team in signal practice and has learned the plays so that he will be familiar with them in case he can {fet into the game. PREPARE FOR ['ITT GAME State College. Nov. 18. —'Old Fern State players are rallying to the team's support for th e final struggle of the season with University of Pittsburgh at the Smoky City. Ycckley, captain and halfback, of the 1906 eleven, aud Eugle, tackle on the 1911 team, report ed yesterday to assist Hollenback and Harlow. Sayiy and several others are expected early this week. The former stars donned their togs yesterday and went through a stiff half-hour scrim mage against the sophomore eleven. All the varsity men were rested to recover from bruises and sprains received in the battle with the Michigan Aggies on Friday. The entire squad of first, and second string players were excused' from practice. Barron, the right end, was taken to Bellefonte hospital last night suffering from a serious attack of blood poison ing. It is doubtful whether lie will be in shape to face Pittsburgh on Thanks giving Day. infection from his jersey is thought to be the cause of Barron's trouble. Ewing, the Pittsburgh all scholastic star, is on clutches with a bad leg. He has little chance of flay ing in the last game. Higgins and Clark are improving slowly, and should be able to take their regular places along with Captain Tobin and Whitey Thorn as.

Dartmouth and Washington and Jefferson, leaders in the race for high scoring honors among the large college elevens, increased their lead over their near rivals by running up large scores ill last Saturday's engagements. Dart mouth with a 41 to 0 triumph over Henn, advanced her total to 319 against her opponents' 25. W. and J. tallied 59 against West Virginia Weslcyan and 1 h graduated into the select SOU class with 301. Dartmouth is in undis puted possession otf high score honors. Tufts lays claim to third place with 264; Cornell, fourth, with 230; Michi gan, fifth, with 233; Pittsburg 1 !), sixt'h, with 194; Army, seventh, with 186; Bucknell, eighth, with 182; Yale, ninth, with 178; Syracuse, tenth, with 152, and Harvard, eleventh, with 151. I'enu is rapidly infringing upon Dick inson for honor of permitting oppo nents to cross the goal line. Penn has tallied 1 t while her opponents were registering 97. Princeton scored 87 against her opponents' 05. The Carlisle Indians have been aible to make nut 51 points in ten games, while her op ponents were collecting 131. Dickinson falls heir to high scoring honors for her opponents who have made 273 point? while 'Harrington's men were tallvinif 75. ' * Washington and |,ee, previous to Sat urday's games, was the real lea.ler in high scores. But Dartmouth's big score and the small one of eight col lected by the Southerners, placed them in second place with 307, but this is not taken into consideration due to her poor showing against teams of the first class.
