Plans Under Discussion Today;
Students Will Be Asked to
Subscribe to Fund

Tech high students to-day discussed
plans to send their band to Williams
port Saturday with the football team.
Announcement was made that reduced
rates could be had on a party ticket.
A canvas will be made to-day and If
sufficient cash is subscribed Tech will
have a band at Williamsport.
Members of the Tech faculty and
athletic directors are of the opinion
that the band is good mascot. The
team won every game at which the
band played. Receipts were also larg-
er. Ten students have already signed
up to go to Wiliamsport Saturday.
At Williamsport the varsity squad is
practicing Tech formations. The
sporting editor of the Williamsport
Gazette-Bulletin says:
Coach Hartman taught the scrubs
some Tech formations and they were
used with some success against var
sity, with Rothrock doing the Beck
stunt and running 35 yards for a
touchdown.
Harrisburg is bringing very heavy
team to Williamsport Saturday, one

HoLLENBACK HAS sHAKEuP
Special to The TcIeerabh

State College, Pa, Nov. 12-As an
aftermath to the Lehigh game, in
which Penn State was completely out
generAled and outplayed, Coach Bill
Hol1enback gave the eleven the big
gest shaking up seen on Beaver Field
in years. The entire backfield was
switched so that not a single regular
held his job. Higgins, the left end,
was sent in at fullback, displacing
Clark, who went to left halfhack.
Manown, the substitute quarterback,
filled James place at that position,
and Edgerton took Weltys place at
right halfback. Hollenback said he
would stick to that combination for
the Michigan Aggie game here next
Friday. Higgins will call the signals.
To Captain Tobin's absence is attribut-
ed, in a large measure, States lack of
generalship against Lehigh. without
his guiding hand, Hollenback's team
foundered about the field.
Only two first string men, Barron,
the right end. and Edgerton, the right
halfback, scrimmaged to-day. The en-
tire squad will be rested until We'd
nesday, when they will complete their
scrimmage in preparation for the bat
tie with Michigan Aggies.

FINAL SCR|MMAGE
FOR BUCKNELL TEAM
Coach Cockill Will Come to Harris
burg Tomorrow Night For Big
Game on Saturday

Final practice at Bucknell for the
game here with Gettysburg on Satur-
day was held this afternoon. Coach
George Cockill has ordered light work
for tomorrow as he will come to Har-
risburg tomorrow night to have a
baseball conference.
This season Bucknell has a team of
fast youngsters. The only big star of
last season is Gdaniec, the right half
back.
1t Is not known whether Gdaniec
will play Saturday. although it is quite
possible that his arm will be strong
enough for him to take his regular
position at right halfback. If he
should be unable to play, Hopler, by
his excellent work on Saturday, has
likely won the position. Banks and
Aleshouckas continued to do excellent
work at ends, the scrub being unable
to make any material gains around
them. Bucknell will bring a delega-
tion of about 500 students, including
its band of forty pieces.
Gettysburg backfields received at
| tention in practice yesterday. Hoar
was the only regular in the lineup.
Rowe and Erly played the halves and
Mercer backed up the center of the
I line. The latter is rapidly becoming
a valuable man on defense. In the
half hour scrimmage the scrubs failed
| to gain much ground at the open
game, but repeatedly plunged through
guard and tackle for good gains. Later
| in the evening, Scheffer was moved to
tackle and Stoney played left end.
This combination worked well, the
scrubs losing more ground than they
gained against that side of the line

Several weeks ago critics had it that

Harvard would not have much of a
season in football. When it was an
nounced that he would go under the

OF the alleged experts. Now have

Brickley, and they have done work as

years old. BY this Is meant that he
was hardly known outside the narrow
confines of his own diocese.
After Giuseppe Sarto had got his
preliminary instructions In the village
school OF REESE and from the local
padre he was admitted to the seminary
at Treviso and also to the seminary
at Padua. 1t was in 1858. after nine
years of prepare ton in philosophy and
theology, that Giuseppe Sarto was or
dained a priest In Castel Franco. For
nine years he was only an assistant
priest In the Church of San Rafael in
the little town Of Tombola. He was
placed in charge of st. Peters church
at Salcano in May Of 1867.
This promotion came after hard
years, but in his new charge he work
ed with the same zeal and earnest
ness as In his earliest ministry. He
found a larger field for his activities.
and while at Saicano he established
conference of the st. Vincent de Paul
society which was aimed to relieve the
condition of the poor. The work thus
established soon made itself felt
throughout Italy, where the poverty OF
certain classes had already become no.
torious.
The parish priest performed his du.
ties as pastor OF St Peters until
March, 1878. when the diocesan author
tiles recognized his worth and his val
ne as an administrator and called him
to higher office. He was made chan
cellor OF the diocese, spiritual director
Of the Salcano seminary and examiner
OF the clergy. This distinction came
TO him when he was forty years old.
The following year Father Sarto was
appointed Judge OF the ecclesiastical
tribunal OF Salcano. and In 1877 he
was honored by his bishop with the Of
ace OF vicarate capitulare. which was
the highest In the gift OF the ordinary
of the diocese.
Just twenty-six years after his or
dination Father Sarto was honored by
Rome with the episcopacy OF the do
cese OF Mantua. This was in 1884.
For nine years Bishop Sarto ruled
over the diocese OF Mantua

SAYS WAR IS BASED
ON HOARDEO GOLD
Educator Sees Evidence Of
Early Planning In Europe.

New Iork.-loscph French johnson,
commerce, one of the most distinguish
ed economists of the country, has writ
ten for the Alexander Hamilton insti-
tute an article on WAR and American
Business" which Is said to be based
on n thorough investigation conducted
stltute.
Dean Johnson shows that Germany
has long been anticipating and prepar-
ing for the war. He calls attention es-
peClally to the increase in the gold
holdings of the Imperial Bank OF Ger
many. from $194, 100000 at the begin
ming OF 1913 to $336.OOO.O 900 on July II.
1914.
Following the lead OF Germany, the
banks OF France and Russia also piled
up vast stocks OF gold.
The extraordinary pressure for gold
on the part OF the great governmental
banks OF Europe, beginning early In
1913, is regarded as highly significant
by those who believe that one OF the
world powers deliberately planned and
promoted this war.
American and Canadian banking con,
ditions. In Dean Johnson's opinion, are
sound. He says:
Fortunately the war broke out to-
ward the close OF period Of liQuida
ton. American and Canadian craft In
the financial seas We're already steering
cautiously and with shortened sail.
IL the storm had burst In period OF
expansion its effect would have been
far worse.
"rhe Aldrich Vreeland bill, which
permits banks to take out emergency
note circulation secured by deposits of
commercial paper. is n wise measure
OF relief. In so far as II permits the
free movement OF our grain crop with
out imposing IN unnecessary strain on
bank reserves.
like other measures OF relief, how
ever, II contains possibilities OF abuse
and danger. Any tendency toward in
tlation OF the currency should be care
fully watched and prevented"
