ing held yesterday. After the election
of chairman the committee, which
consists of Ralph Morgan, Wharton

Charles Lovett. went into session and
discussed the coaching question.
1t was agreed that the advisory sys-

the responsibility be placed solely in
the hands of one man, and to give the
coach as many assistants as he should
require
The coach will be given the whole
hearted cooperation of the football
committee in every detail. The COM
mittee hopes that the entire under
graduate body will cooperate with the
football committee in giving every pos
sible assistance to the head coach and
his assistants and stand behind the
coaches and players no matter who
may be selected.
Another important question consid-
cred was that concerning the obtaining
of a trainer for the eleven. The foot
ball committee, while not having Sc
lected a man, discussed the appli-
cations of several men. The commit
tee will get in touch with the other
committees in regard to the trainer.
The committee will insist on a trainer.

Many Warriors Battle
For Gridiron HOnors

Philadelphia, Dec. 16. - Parke
Davis, Princeton's member of the foot
ball rules committee and considered
as the games greatest historian and
statistician, whose one hobby in life
is the delving into the records of the
game, was a guest at the Racquet
Club recently, and while talking to
some of the old Princeton football
men who are members of that organi-
zation told some things about the
growth of this sport that amazed his
listeners.
According to Davis, during the 1915
season $4,000 football games were
played by the various schools and col
leges of the country, not taking note of
the thousands of club and independent
games. In these games the remark
able figure of 100000 players COM
peted, and the attendance at the
games was, in round figures, 100000
persons. Such a tremendous figure
took the clubmen by surprise.
Davis went back to the origin of the
game to draw a good comparison. He
said that thirty-nine years ago, when
football first began it's real college ca
reer, there were but six teams and
100 players and 1000 spectators

LEAGUE CONTEST
SATURDAY NIGHT
York Five to Make First Ap-
pearance in Harrisburg;
Honors at Stake

The Harrisburg independents will
play their second home game in the
Eastern Pennsylvania Basketball
League Saturday night with York as
the opposing team This will be
York's first appearance in Harris
burg for over a year.
York is out to win the first cham
pionship in the new league, and will
try especially hard to put the locals
out of the way. York and Harrisburg
have always been rivals in all sports,
and because of the new league, the
rivalry in basketball is more intense
than ever.
Should York win Saturday nights
game, the locals would be practically
eliminated from the race, and that
Is what York is trying to do.
Locals Work Hard
The Independents will try their
hardest to land the game from York,
and in their practices are working
to overcome the lack of team work
which has been evident in their play
ing in most of the games this sea-
son.
The screen back board is now in
place, and proved its worth Satur-
day night. and enabled those sitting
on the balcony to see the game at all
times. The Independents, however,
shot poorly at this goal, for they had
no opportunity to become familiar
with the new board. With a weeks
practice, however, the locals will be
able to shoot with more accuracy

Hunters Busy in Woods;
Five Deer Visit Tower

State College, Pa, Dec. 16.-While
all the licensed deer hunters of Pine
Grove Mills were securing the Seven
mountains yesterday for their last
shots of the season, five deer, two
bucks and three does, came into the
village and spent most of the day feed
ing in the fields and drinking from the
town reservoir. Every one of the 800
villagers went to see the animals, but
not one of the $50 stay-at-homes had
a license to shoot the game.
Messengers were rushed to find r. I.
Watt, deputy game warden, and the
only person in Pine Grove Mills au-
thoriZed to issue licenses, but Watt,
too, was hunting deer seven miles
away. The deer were surrounded un-
til nightfall, with the hope that some
legalized gunner would come home
and shoot the bucks. None came and
the deer went back into the hills, safe
for another year.

MAJORS AWAIT PEACE ENJOYS
BY AsSociated PrcSs

New York, Dec 16.-The future
status of big league baseball will be
decided at a peace conference of rep
resentatives of the National, American
and Federal Leagues here tomorrow.
if the expectations of the magnates
who have framed the tentative agree
ment after three years of war are
fulfilled. Members of the National
League here in their annual meeting
are waiting to-day for the arrival of

by the American League to ratify the
proposed terms of peace.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-12-16

Chicago, Dec. 16.-The end of the
baseballSwar came in sight last night,
when American League magnates at
| their annual session here agreed to
the peace terms arranged at New
YORK between the Federal and Ma
tonal Leaguers. Within a few days,
according to President Johnson, the
details of agreement which does away
with the Federals as an independent
League will be arranged, the American
League has consented to appoint a
committee to meet ENJOYS from the
others.
The announcement of the agreement
came after session which took up
most of the afternoon, and at which
nothing was discussed except the
peace proposals of the Federals.
These, agreed to at New York by
the National League, were related to
the American League meeting by Bar
ney Dreyfuss, president of the Pitts
burgh Nationals, who came from the
East as messenger of peace. For an
hour Mr.. Dreyfuss addressed the
American League club owners, eX-
planning in detail the agreement. Its
terms were not made public, both Mr..
Dreyfuss and the magnates agreeing
TO keep silent on these, but it is gen.
orally understood that the consolida-
ton of the National and Federal is the
basis.
President Johnson declared that
there would be only two leagues, the
American and National.
To later session probably in New
York tomorrow, was left the appoint
ment Of committee to meet the COM
mittee to meet the committee of the
other leagues.
The joint peace session will proba-
bly, take place within a week, accord
ing to Mr.. Johnson, at New York or
Chicago.
Many details remain to be arranged.
These involve the ball players who
jumped from one league to another,
and may result in many of the clubs
getting back thos who left in the war
crisis.

Death Toll in
Three Outdoor Sports
Hunting-62 killed
Baseball-59 killed.
Footballs killed.

These figures, compiled on the
most recent season in the three
branches of outdoor sport, show
hunting the most dangerous pas
time.
There were as many deaths in
baseball as in hunting, but the
baseball season covers nine months
of the year, while hunting lasts
only few months, and there are
many, many more persons engag-
ed in baseball than in hunting.
The football season lasts about
as long as the hunting season,
but the death toll is much small
II.
Besides the 81 persons killed
in hunting, sc were badly in
jured. The figures are gathered
from eighteen States. Last year
the dead numbered Ill, the in
jured 1862.
The decrease is probably due
to the fact that fewer persons
hunted this year. Wisconsin, for
instance, passed a law prohibit
ing the shooting of does and linn
iting each hunter to one buck.
Many old-time hunters stayed at
home.
Michigan, as has been the case
for several years, led in deaths
with fourteen.
Two women were killed.
