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."

and a Medley Belay Bace for Col

Frauk B. Ellis, 1416 South Penn

lowing to managers of track teams
throughout the country:
"The University of Pennsylvania A.
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.
"Definite details of the events to be
held on each of these days will be sent

on Friday and Saturday, they are
I pleased as it will give them au oppor
tunity to hold a meeting on a scale such
as might be expected in a country
I where college track and field sports are
iso well organized. The idea of the
] management for many years has been
j to use this meeting as far as possible
I in the line of developing material for
I the Olympic games which take place
j every four years. A two days' meet
I will permit them to do this more fully
I than in the past. So, in addition to
! running off most of the Philadelphia
| Grammar School races, uud some of the
college and 9chool relay races for in
stitutions near to Philadelphia on Fri-
I day. a peutathlon for college men will
s be given on that day. The events will
| '"orrespond to those in the Olympic
! pentathlon, namely, a running broad
jump, throwing the Javelin held in the
; middle, throwing the Discus, 200 meters
; flat and 1,500 meters flat. This pen
; tathlon will be judged b'v the rules that
1 prevail in the Olympics, and it is hoped
At hut some all-round athletes will be de
j veloped in the colleges through making
this an annual event at the relay races.
"We shall hold contests in two other
I Olympic events, viz., a running hop,
j step and jump, and a 56-lb. weight for
' distance. We are sending this notice
I at this early period so that your ath-
I letes may have time to prepare for the
i contests.
"A new College Relay Race Cham
pionship of America will be instituted
and held on Friday. This race will be
a medley relay race with one man to
run a quarter mile, the next a half
mile, the third three-quarters of a mile
and the last man a mile.
"It is also possible we may hold a
400 meter hurdle race on Friday as
held in the Olympics, if the time sched
ule will permit.
"On Saturday the college relay
races and the Intel-scholastic and In
tercollegiate relay championships will
jbe given as in the past. The long es-
I tablished special events will also be
held on Saturday as usual, these con
| sistiug of the two track events (the
100 yards dash and the 120 yards
j hurdle), and the hammer, shot, discus,
pole vault, high and broad jumps. The
I javelin (held in the middle) will be
transferred to Friday's contests."

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.

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.

TWO TEAAIS REACH 300 CLASS
Dartmouth, With :tl» and W. and J„
1 With :ioi, Maintain Lead for
High Score Title
Two elevens have passed the 30U
murk. 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.
