Jim is after, and there is strong
probability of the pair getting together.
Wiring from Los Angeles, Coffroth
notified Richie that Welsh would fight
the former titlc.holder if Freddie were
given the same guarantees that Ritchie
received in the London contest. The
weight was placed by Welsh at 1873
pounds, but Coffrotb added that Welsh
most probably would agree to Ritchie 5
l3jpound stipulation.
Ritchie was more than pleased at the
turn in affairs.
Welsh May Meet White.
"What terms Welsh can make with
the promoter is his own affair." said
Ritchie, "but | personally will not
guarantee him $4,000. IN attend to

ANOTHER 1RUANT OFFICER
Detention School Teacher, Whose Salary
Goes in, Il Put TO Work
Chastng Bad Boys

Without official board action and
preliminary planning of any kind the
Harrisburg Board of School Directors
finds itself with second truant officer
because of the vagaries of an instru-
ment known as the school code of Penn
sylvania and the abolition of the truant
school.
Daniel T. Fackler, teacher in the
truant school. who has yearly contract
with the school district, as required by
the laws of the State, found himself
jobless-but not salaryless-when tine
truant school was no more. There was
no teaching vacancy that Mr.. Fackler
could fill. so he was put to work chasing
truanits, which he has been doing liter
ally, too.
He trailed four boys, whose names
cannot be learned because they were
not prosecuted, to Rutherford, where
they spent their days instead of in
school, and was instrumental in getting
them back to their studies before they
overstepped the limit. Mr.. Fackler s
salary is $1o higher than that of the
other truant officer, Henry A. Slwartz.

PREPARE FOR PITT GAME

State College, Nov. 1S.-OId Penn
State players are rallying to the team s
support for the final struggle of the
season with University of Pittsburgh
at the Smoky City. Yeckley, captain
and halfback, of the 1906 eleven, and
Engle, tackle on the 1911 team, report
ed yesterday to assist Hollenback and
Harlow. Sayre 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 sprans 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 serious attack Of blood poison
ing. 1t is doubtful whether he will be
in shape to face Pittsburgh on Thanks
giving Day. Infection from his Jersey
is thought to be the cause of Barron 3
trouble. Ewing, the Pittsburgh all
scholastic star, is on crutches with a
bad leg. He has little chance of play
ing in the last game. Higgins and Clark
are improving slowly, and should be
able to take their regular places along

on Friday and Saturday, they are
pleased as it will give them an oppor
tunity to hold meeting ON a scale such
as might be expected in country
where college track and field sports are
so well organized. The idea of the
management for many years has been
to use this meeting as far as possible
in the line of developing material for
the Olympic games which take place
every four years. A two days meet
will permit them to do this more fully
than in the past. So, in addition to
running off most of the Philadelphia
Grammar School races, and some of the
college and school relay races for in
stitutions near to Philadelphia on Fri
day, pentathlon for college men will
correspond to those in the Olympic
pentathlon, namely, running broad
jump, throwing the Javelin held in the
middle, throwing the Discus, 200 meters
fat and 1,500 meters fat. This pen
tathlon will be judged by the rules that
prevail i'll the Olympics, and it is hoped
shat some all-round athletes will be de-
veloped in the colleges through making
this an annual event at the relay races.
"We shall hold contests in two other
Olympic events, viz, running hop,
step and jump, and a 56-lb. weight for
distance. We are sending this notice
at this early period so that your ath-
letes may have time to prepare for the
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 mile.
sit 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.
son Saturday the college relay
races and the Interscholastc and In
tercollegiate relay championships will
be given as in the past. The long es-
tablished special events will also be
held on Saturday as usual, these con
sisting of the two track events (the
100 yards dash and the 120 yards
hurdle), and the hammer, shot, discus,
pole vault, high and broad jumps. The
iavelin (heid in the middle) will be
transferred to Fridays contests"
Both the local high schools, Steelton
and Harrisburg Academy expect to en-
ter relay teams in the Penn relays next
spring.

and Medley Relay Race for Col
leges to Be Added

Frank b. Ellis, 1416 South Penn
Square, Philadelphia, has sent the fol-
lowing to managers of track teams
throughout the country:
1.-The University of Pennsylvania A.
A. desires to announce that the TWEEN
ty-first Annual University of Pennsyl-
vania Relay Race Carnival will take
place Friday and Saturday, April %
and "a, 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 now athletic his.
tory, for it proved to be one of the
most remarkable races ever run. jack
son. of Oxford, the famous Olympic
1900 meter champion, won the race in
the last relay by a hair from McCurdy,
of Pennsylvania, the Intercollegiate
two mile champion of 1913. This race
was the elimination of meet that was
record breaking in many ways. When
you sare told that nearly 100 colleges
and nearly 200 schools were represent
ed at the meet; that it required 2,200
contestants tickets to admit at the
gate the athletes in the various events;
that there were So events not counting
the heats, and that the whole program
was run off between / 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 one day
meet was reached last year, and as
there is sure to be an increase both in
schools ana 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
you some time in January. 1t is suf-
ticient now to give you merely an idea
of this matter. Though the management
has been forced into having the meet
