Much in life depends on good start

If what the Pennsylvania eleven is able
to do to the freshmen is fair meas
ure OF its power. then yesterdays scrim-
mage indicates decided Improvement

each was an easy chance and made pos
sible by varsity fumbles. Not until the
freshmen led with a score of to 0 did
the varsity get up enough fight to

The happy feature OF the Quakers'

rushing of Tucker, the manner in which

work was especially pleasing TO the

SAYS STATE GAME
IS TO Be KILLED,
NOT PHOTOGRAPHED
Secretary Joseph Kalbfus, of
the Pennsylvania State
Game Commission, Writes
Interestingly of His Views.

Secretary Joseph Kalbfus, OF the State
Game Commission. has in this third arti-
Gle to the EVENING LEDGER endeavored to
bring home facts concerning the game
question in this State.
I'VE are being forced into a position"
writes Secretary Kalbfus, where we
must fight If we hope to retain privl-
leges along sane game lines. We are
protecting game In this State not to look
at and take pictures OF, but to kill. The
sportsmen OF this State today are not
paupers, begging the State to make ap-
propriations for their use to the injury
OF hospitals or schools or any other thing.
After next June their money collected
through the resident hunters license will
be used to pay the freight not only
for the protection OF game, through the
taking of which they. the sportsmen, de-
rive pleasure and benefit, but they will
also pay for the protection OF song and
insectivorous birds. the value Of whose
life work affects all the people.
1T Ia not the province OF the Game
Commission to say where game can best
be killed. 1t Is our duty to protect game
that 1t may increase to the benefit of
those able to secure II. All can, there
fore, say at this time is, our deer are
increasing and are becoming quite plen-
tiful in many OF the counties OF the
State.
IT believe we have more black bear in
Pennsylvania than can be found in any
other State in this Union.
"Ruffed grouse have hatched we'll and
appear to be plentiful in the sections
where extensive forests are located.
Quail are quite plentiful IN some sec
tions OF the State, those sections that
were comparatively free from snow and
ice last winter. In some sections these
birds have almost disappeared.
rabbits seem TO abound everywhere,
and It is now up TO sportsmen 10 not
only obey the law themselves, but to
see TO II that others obey il. Game OF
the state belongs TO hunters as never be-
fore, and every man who pays his dollar
should take a dollars worth of increased
interest In seeing TO II that his game is
not killed contrary TO the provisions OF
law. Every man who pays his dollar
should also help to correct existing er-
rors in the game laws OF the Common
wealth.
THE Game Commissioners OF this State
are working for the State entirely with
out pay, not even the money they eX-
pend as expenses being returned to them
II seems to me they are doing their work
we'll, considering what they have to do
with. They car DO much better II those
interested will help in this great work
and I beg OF those disposed 20 knock to
throw away your hammer and help carry
straw, for It Is just as hard today to
make good bricks without straw as II
was in the olden time We beg OF you
