Navy Reserves Line Up For
Annual Game With Army

Annapolis, Md, Nov. %. - After a
signal and formation drill which
lasted until dark announcement was
made last night by Head Coach Ing
ram of the lineup of the Navy eleven
in the game with the Army Saturday.
The eleven included those players who
had been picked by outsiders. but a
decided jolt was given in the an
nouncement that the players have
been shifted from the sides on which
they have been playing. This, it is
felt, may have something to do with
the recent change in signals, due to
fears that the Navy method had
leaked. The team that will go
against the West Pointers follows:
Fisher, left end; Ward, left tackle;
Reifel, left guard; Goodstein, center:
Gilman, right guard; Clark, right
tackle; Jackson, right end; Whelche:,
quarter; Roberts, left halfback; In
gram, right halfback, and Perry, full
back. The playing of Perry at full
because of his phenomenal punting
ability, and the winning of the quar-
terback job by Whelchel makes up a
backfield composed of four men who
entered the Academy in June.
However, the Navy coaches contend
that the MILDLY line is as good as the
Armys and that the excellence of the
second-string backfield men will wear
down the Army eleven and win.

OLD SUSQUEHANNA
TRAIL HIGHWAY
State Aid Is Requested by Dele
CATION of Upstate Good
Roads Enthusiasts

State aid for the construction of
Pennsylvania newest great highway
the "Susquehanna Trail" which is to
extend from Harrisburg to the Empire
State line was urged on Commissioner
Frank Is. Black at the State Highway
Department late yesterday afternoon
by the largest delegation that has
visited the Highway Department since
Commissioner Black was appointed.
The speakers asked help to establish
a through route from Harrisburg to
the New York State line, by way of
Williamsport, Roaring Branch, Can
ton and Troy. 1t is proposed to name
this highway the "Susquehanna Trail. F"
The highway throughout the greater
part of its length follows existing
State Highways but from Troy north
to the New York State line there is a
section of township road which it is
desired to have included in the State
Highway system. The argument ad-
vanced by the delegation was that the
proposed road would form connect
ing link between Harrisburg and Ell
mira, n. Y.
In the delegation were representa-
tives from Lycoming, Bradford, North
cumberland, Union and Snyder coun-
ties. The delegation was headed by
Senator elect E. E. Jones and accom-
panied by Congressman l.. T. McFad-
den and Senator C. w. Sones. Sena-
tor Jones introduced the members of
the delegation to Commissioner Black
and outlined the object of their visit.
He was followed by Congressman Nc
Fadden, who spoke in favor of the de-
velopment of that portion of the road
north from Williamsport through Ly-
coming and Bradford counties. Sena-
tor Sones then spoke in favor of the
development of that portion of the
road leading south from Williamsport
through Montoursville and Muncy.
Other speakers were Mayor Stowe, of
Canton, Fred Newell. editor of the
Sentinel, Canton; William Decker, of
Montgomery; President c. T. Aiken,
of Susquehanna University, Snyder
county; the Rev. Mr.. Morse, of Troy,
and Deputy Attorney General Emer-
son Collins.
Every speaker emphasized the will
lingness of the citizens of the coun-
ties affected to cooperate with the State
Highway Department in every way.
State Highway Commissioner Black
outlined the policy of the State High
way Department and told his hearers
that the department would appreciate
cooperation heartily. He said, I'VE
would like to build this road that you
advocate but we cannot do it without
money. We would like to build this
road this year but we must wait until
the Legislature gives us sufficient ap-
propriations. Now, we cannot prom
Use to build this road in it's entirety
because you all appreciate that the
money we receive must be apportion-
ed among the various counties of the
State and what we can and will do is
this: We can and are willing to go
ahead with this road in each county so
far as funds are available when we get
our appropriations" Following State
Highway Commissioner Black, Chief
Engineer Uhler addressed the delega-
ton.

HISTORY MAKING CARTOONS

Perhaps never before in the history
of the world have the cartoons of one
artist stirred nations to their depths
as have the cartoons of Louis Rae
maekers, who sits hidden in a little
studio in a suburb of London drawing
cartoons of the great war while the
Germans hold a price on his head.
A year and half ago the name of
Louis Raemaekers was practically un-
known. He was at that time an OBJ
scure Dutch landscape artist. At the
outbreak of the war he began drawing
cartoons for the Amsterdam Tele-
graaf while the German authorities
were doing all in their power to sup
press them. Through German in
trigue Raemaekers was charged with
endangering the neutrality of HoI-
land-and acquitted. After that cpl
sode a price was set on his head
should he ever cross the border.
When he crossed to England, his wife
received anonymous postcards warn
ing her that his ship would be tor
pedoed in the North Sea. And later
the Cologne Gazette threatened that
after the war Germany would settle
accounts with Holland for Rae
maeker's insults"
Such are the facts about "Raemae-
kers' Cartoons" one hundred and
fifty of which are now collected for
the first time and published in book
form by Doubleday, Page & Co., the
end of this month with reading text
by notable English authors including
such prominent writers as Hilaire Bel
loc, @. X. Chesterton, Cecil Chester
ton, Eden PhillpottS, etc.

Injury to Eye May Keep Him

Friends of Captain Harold Clark of
Penn State team are much concerned
regarding his injured eye. There were
all sorts of reports yesterday about
the Harrisburger losing his eyesight.
and the Harrisburg Telegraph was be-
sieged with inquiries. Last night the
following dispatch was received from
State College:
Captain Clark suffered an injury
to one of his eyes in the Penn State
Lafayette game last Friday. The re-
suits are not so serious as reported.
He has practiced with his team for
the last two days. The injured eye
bothers him considerably. and this
morning he went to Willianisport for
examination by an oculist. Pending
Clark's return nothing definite is
known, but it is not believed here that
his sight will be permanently affected.
1t is feared, however, that he will be
unable TO lead his eleven against
Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving Day in
the last football game of his college
career"

Harlow's new plays which were given

considerable raggedness in the back
field. This is attributed to the alb
