For Sewage Treatment
to City of Williamsport

The engineering firm of Farley GAN
nett, consulting engineer, of Harris

plans to that city. This work was done
in response 10 decree and order of
the State Department of Health SINH
lar to the order which has been issued
TO the city of Harrisburg.

These will consis. of Imhoff tanks,
constructed OF concrete, where the
solid floating matter will be removed.
After passage through these tanks the
sewage will be treated with disinfect-
ant and discharged into the river.
The plant Is designed to treat ten

provision for doubling this capacity
when necessary. Provision is also made
for the construction of sprinkling fill

Waddell Is Captain: Rote Is
Gettysburg's Hope

The seat sale for the Gettysburg
Bueknell game on Saturday opened
yesterday. Indications point to big
crowd. The students will be on hand
as usual with bands and cheer choruses.
Special trains will bring 500 rooters
from Lewisburg at . o'clock Saturday
! morning, ana the Battlefield crowd will
arrive Few minutes later. Each school
will parade over the principal streets
and will march to Island Park at ;
O'Clock. The game starts at $50.

and Waddell as second line of de-
fense. Bucknell places great confidence.
The veterans, Hopler and Hendren. have
had several years experience and have
always given a good account of them
selves on the island. Herbine and Wad-
dell will appear for the first time as
the defenders of Bucknell, and as they
are natural players much is expected
of them.

has impressed the coaches as a player
4 of no mean ability.
In comparison, the Gettysburg back

| Stoney, Houtz and Rote. is as strong
as that of Bucknell. This combination
is by far the fastest quartet that has
ever represented the Battlefield school
on the island. Captain Stratton and
Stoney made their appearance in this
city several years ago and can be de-
pended uon to keep up their good rec
/ ord. Houtz will be remembered as
! the former Central high player. who.
for the first time, will be seen In col

Around him, Bergman has built his
whole team. every play is centered
about him and depends upon him. He
is an inestimable asset to the eleven,
his punting is reliable and accurate and
his natural instincts make him great
ground gamer. The alertness with
which Rote intercepts forward passes
makes him a dangerous man, for once
the pigskin is tucked under his arm
and gets started he is sure to score.

Iron squad anything but pleasant.
Ferry Field is covered with more than
an inch of snow and there is reason
to believe that it will have a bad effect
on Yost's tactics next Saturday in the

Iost has been expected to use much
forward passing but unless there is a
decided change in the weather, open
football will not be OF much advan-
tage.
Yesterdays drill was short and light.
There was brief signal practice and
then some kicking and q little passing.
