Independents in Shape
For Big Game Tomorrow

The Independents held practice in
Chestnut street hall this afternoon in
order to be in the best of condition
for their game with the strong Garnet
team of Philadelphia. The Garnets
are we'll known to the basketball fans
of this city and always give the Inde-
pendents hard battle.
On each side of the hall, a section
of the seats will be reserved for the
Central and Technical high school
football teams, and extra seats will be
placed in the hall to accommodate the
large holiday crowd. The game will
start promptly at SIS and a special
dance program is being arranged by
Miss Sara Lemer's orchestra.
Manager Ehlers announced that he
will endeavor to bring Haire and
Defines to Harrisburg for this game.
They are playing in the Pennsylvania
State League. Dave Kerr, the big
center who appeared in this city last
year with the Garnets will not be with
the team as he is filing center with
the Jasper team of the Eastern
League.

STAGE IS SET
FOR BIG BATTLE
.Central-Tech Contest Closing
Football Feature; Expect
Record Crowd

P The stage is set for the big football
game at Island Park tomorrow aft
ernoon. Central and Tech will meet
in their annual championship battle
at Island Park. The big battle starts
at 2:30. At the finish of this game
the lid will go down on football for
the present season.
Fair weather tomorrow means a
record crowd. Interest this season is
strong because of the results in the
previous games. Tech leads to-day in
the picking of to-morrow's winner.
Central, however, figured as a heavier
team by almost seven pounds to a man
has many hackers. Betting was
even to-day.
This year the arrangements are in
charge of Tech officials. This means
the Central student body will occupy
the bleachers on the west side of the
field Tech students have been as
signed to section of the regular base
ball bleachers with the regular pat
rons.
Auto Parking Plans
Arrangements have been made for
parking automobiles so that the
crowd will not be interfered with
along the side lines. Chief of Police
J. Edward WetZel has arranged for a
force of 80 patrolmen who will see

PREVIOUS SCORES
in LOCAL SERIES
Tomorrow's Battle May Be Last
if Schools Unite Next
Year

Records show that Tech has won
once and tied Central another time
in all of the thirteen previous con-
tests. The other IL games have been
decisive victories for Central. The
two elevens have been battling yearly
since 1905. In that year and in 1909
two games were played.
In the 13 contests Central has
scored 169 points to Techs 10. Two
years ago with Clarence Beck lead
ing the Maroon, the Walnut Streeters
captured their lone triumph 10 to 12.
This year the team will look to the
younger brother, Carl Beck, to lead
the way.
'Tis said that this lad has already
picked out the pair of $3.50 shoes
that will be given the Tech player
making the longest run.
May Be Last Game
Chances are that with the new
plan for high schools going into effect
shortly this will be the last oppor-
tunity for the two high schools to
meet on Turkey Day." In that event
1t will likely be a question of Steel
ton against Harrisburg. A resume of
previous games is given:

No License For Garden
May Stop New York Contests

New York. Nov. 2s.-The State ath-
letic commission has refused to grant
license to hold boxing in Madison
Square Garden. The promoters of the
new cluh-John ]. White, president;
William Long, secretary-treasurer. and
Harry Pollok, matchmaker-prese
a lease which the lessor or lessee could
terminate at fifteen days notice. The
boxing statute requires that a lease
must be for one year. hence the COM
mission tabled the application.
Emil e. Fuchs. attorney for the ap-
plicants. promised to produce a salts
factory lease within twenty-four hours.
However, 1t is doubtful whether lease
on the Garden for a year can be OBJ
tanned as an interlocutory Judgment
of foreclosure and sale has been en-
tered against the premises
Johnny" Dundee is to box Fred
die Welsh in the Garden Thursday
evening If license is granted the new

that the ground rules are enforced
Special arrangements have been made
for the press and side-line officials in
the best that have ever been picked.
Steelton high eleven and students
and the Harrisburg Academy rooters
will be part of the big crowd. In
order to avoid the rush at the gates
tickets were sold to-day in advance at
j. Harry Messersmith's store and
there was a steady demand. Holders
of these tickets will be admitted
through a special gate and will avoid
the big crowd.
Varsity Teams To Start
Both teams will start with their
regular varsity line-ups. Central High
squad in charge of Coach Leo Harris
left early this morning for Carlisle
where they will spend the day in
secret practice. The team will get a
hard workout to-day, and will rest to-
night at Hotel wellington. To-mor-
row morning after light practice the
squad will take a special train for
Harrisburg, arriving shortly after l
o'clock.
The Central High cheer leaders
with the Commonwealth band and the
student body will meet the players at
the Pennsylvania Railroad station and
escort them to the Island. Tech stu
dents will meet at the school at 1890
and headed by their cheer leaders and
the Municipal band will march to
Island Park. New features in cheers
and songs will be introduced by both
schools.
According to reports Tech will
have the advantage of substitutes.
Their hopes are built on Beck, Cap
tain Harris and Lloyd. Central looks
for Hilton and Fields to be big fac
tors. There has been considerable
controversy regarding the weight of
the players. Officials of each school
furnished the following statistics:

CARE NEEDED IN THE
OPERATION OF STARTER

Most all Of us have gone along the
street at some time or other. and heard
a motor churn and churn under the
power Of an electric starter without
anv apparent results. says H H.
Hayes. of the Western Battery and
Magnetic company
This is one Of the most frequent
causes Of storage battery trouble
Very few motorists seem to realize the
immense amount Of electrical power
which is required to turn motor, and
what a considerable amount Of driving
at charging speed is necessary TO re-
store the same amount OF current 70
the battery.
"A little care in operating the self
starter will Obviate this trouble The
driver should always make sure that
the starting switch is thrown before
attempting to operate the self-starter
Sometimes the gasoline tank is empty
and under such conditions no amount
OF cranking would start the motor.
'aThe ignition button should always
be pressed in firmly and all wire con-
nections should be tight Occasionally
the gasoline mixture is too weak and
on most cars this can be adjusted from
the dash The coil and distributor
should be kept perfectly dry in order
for the current to reach the spark
plugs"
