HOWMUCH WILL TECH
ROLL UP ON CENTRAL?
Maroon and Gray Confident That
There'Il Be Nothing to 1t
Thanksgiving Day

Coach Smith had the Central team
hard at work again yesterday after
noon and was working out the weak
points which showed up in the game
with Steelton Saturday.
The back field had IN off day be-
cause Rote was not out for hard work
and Sam Froelich is i'll with severe
cold. Rote is improving slowly and
| will be out before many days have
passed. Every effort is being used to
whip the team up in shape for the re-
naming games on the schedule. which
are all hard propositions. Thus far
the older school has played only one
worked out which will be tried on
New Bloomfield Academy and if sue
! cessful they will be used against
Wilkes-B Barre and Steelton.
The authorities at Central are con-
! fident that the remaining games on the
| schedule will be won and said this
morning that Steelton and Tech would
be among the victims of the Blue and
Gray. A meeting of all the boys was
| held yesterday to get together for or
ganized cheering at the Steelton and
| Tech games.
Steelton Confident of Victory
| Coach Taggart. at Steelton, said that
when the games were played with
| Central on November Z and with Tech
| on November IA there would be two
surprised teams. The lower end boys
are certainly playing the game and
from present indications the Steelton
team are going to be right in the fuss
| until the end of the season.
Coach Dunkle. at Tech, is keeping
quiet. His team is out for practice
every day and is in fine condition. All
| he has to say is that there will be
| nothing to it except n victory for Tech
at both the Steelton and Central
org n mi
said that it won't be a question of who
will win, but of how big the score will
be for Tech.
On Saturday the Tech first team will
| meet the strong Lebanon High team
on the H. A. C. field. The Tech team
to show the Lebanon boys something
new in football. The Tech seconds
play the Highspire team before the
game and between halves. Central
| High first team plays the New Bloom
| field Academy at that place and the
| second team plays the Elizabethville
| High team at Elizabethville.
Steelton will go to Williamsport to
| play that team and are going to come
back with victory. The summary
of the points scored by the local big
| Three" is as follows: Central 1919,
opponents AZ; Tech ~, opponents A;
Steelton SO, opponents As.
lndians-The Carlisle Indians mean
| that no errors of commission or omis-
| sion, which are correctable, shall pass
in the approaching game at Buffalo on
Saturday against Syracuse From
bucking the sled, the early afternoon
| drill ran through the whole gamut Of
elementary practice, and the first team
men were thoroughly tired when they
came to follow the Scrimmage, Calac's
place kicking showed considerable de-
| velopment, and Pratt and young Wof-
| ford are shaping nicely, in Warmers
Judgment, as halfbacks. Looksaround
turned out for practice with a stiff
limb, but worked only informally with
out togs. Crane showed much better
style in his delivery of signals and
has developed considerable snap to
the Indian plays.
Lebanon Valley.-Coach R. II. Guy
| er gave his charges all the rudiments
of football yesterday afternoon on
/ Annville Field. Tackling received the
most attention, although blocking
breaking interference and running
down under punts also received due
emphasis. Captain Snavely and Keat-
| ig were given a half hour of goal kick
ing, at which both are becoming pro-
ficient. The coach then lined the two
teams against each other, giving the
| scrubs the ball on the Varsity's To-
yard line. The second team men ad-
Vanced within three yards of the var
sity's goal, but after six attempts, the
latter were given the pigskin.
Gettysburg. Disguised with the
poor showing of the Gettysburg squad
against Lebanon Valley on Saturday.
the coaches drove the men through the
fastest practice of the year. The pre-
liminary work was very brief. For
more than an hour until it became
too dark to see the ball, the varsity
backs were driven against the scrubs
in an effort to secure speed and pick
holes, the two glaring faults of Satur-
day.
notwithstanding his team has
grown stale as the result of its long
layoff, not having had a game since
October II, Coach Kelchner, of AL
bright College, Yesterday began work
ing his red and white varsity squad
hard in preparation for the coming
here of Susquehanna on Saturday.
Dickinson.-Coach Harrington nut
the Dickinson College squad to work
again yesterday. With the light line
it has been decided that the open
style of play is the best for the Red
and White collegians. although it can
not be counted on for consistent gains.
Wilson's ability at ine-bucking is of
high character but no one has been
developed to relieve him. The work
this week will be in preparation for
SATURDAYS game against the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh, at Pittsburgh
BucInelI. The Bucknell eleven
yesterday started preparations for the
MuhlenberE game next Saturday. The
Orange and Blue came out of the Sus-
