TUESDAYS VOTE
CouucilIueu,

Jumping from last place in the
primaries of April 4, to head posi-
ton with majority of Loco over
his nearest opponent, Hamilton
F. Gronen, electrical and hydrau-
lie engineer of wide practical eX-
perience, was elected yesterday
as commissioner of Tacoma for
the coming four years.
Francis II. Petit, who held the
eommissionership Of public safety
for two years, 1910-1912, was
second man at yesterdays polls,
with a total vote of / SAG.
Gronen and Petit will assume
offices at the city hall on May
2, just two weeks from yester-
days election, and under the
charter provisions, they will he
assigned to commissionerships by
q vote of the new council.
Gets Big Majority.
Fred Shoemaker, for several
years chief accountant for the
federal government in the local
administration of army rule in
the Philippines, was elected con-
troller for the coming four years.
He defeated John +. Meads, who
has held the office for 10 years,
by a majority of over 3,400 votes.
Owen Woods, commissioner of
public works since the commits
sion form of government was
adopted, and who was second at
the primaries with a vote of o.
6o6. was low man at the final
elections. receiving only 1912
votes. While Gronen received
almost four times as many bal
lots yesterday as he did two
weeks before, Woods gained only
2,156.
How They'll Line Up.
There is much conjecture today
over the makeup of the new
council. 1t Is practically certain
that Petit will assume the public
safety office, held for four years
by A. U. Mills.
Gronen, however, announced
himself before the primaries as
being candidate for the light
and water berth. After the pri-
maries, he made 1t known that he
was opposing Woods for the pub
lie works office.
Gronen was chief of the light
and water department five years
ago, being appointed by the coun-
ell to fill Nicholas Lawson's place.
He had charge of the construc-
ton of the Nisqually power plant,
and is admirably qualified to take
the light and water position
again.
Returns I'm Early.
James c. Drake, incumbent In
that office, has two years more TO
serve. 1t is predicted today by
city hall politicians that an at
tempt will be made by the new
council to switch Drake to the
public works office.
Yesterdays election brought
out practically the same number
of votes as were cast at the pri-
marles. Returns began arriving
at $3.50, and were all in by IL
p. M.
Early returns, from downtown
precincts, gave Stoever a lead. AS
the outside precincts began ar
irving, however, Stoever fell way
behind, and Gronen and Shoe
maker made gains by leaps and
bounds. Within an hour after
the polls had closed, the outcome
of the election was assured.

Captain of U-53 Tells
of Trip Across Atlantic

Berlin, Nov. Z. Captain Hans
Rose, of the German submarine U-53,
gives an interesting account of the
voyage of the submarine to American
waters and his impressions of New
port and of the activity of the sub
marine off Nantucket. Despite the
seriousness of the mission of the sub
marine, says Captain Rose. the voy-
age was marked by many touches
which relieved the tedium and the
dispiriting effects to the men of being
confined several weeks clamped down
in their cockleshell.
The weather conditions during the
trip at times were very bad, but the
submarine surmounted them so sue
cessfully that the spracticability of
making the transatlantic round trip
ditions, might be regarded as having
been demonstrated. Storms were
faced, which would have tested the
stoutness of surface boats even of the
greatest dimensions.
Once off the Grand Banks the sub
marine hove to like an ordinary
| steamer. Mountainous seas were run
ming, but the underwater boat rode
them superbly, without taking water
on her coming tower or bridge. When
the submarine left the Gulf Stream

GETTYSBURG HAS
WINNING ELEVEN
Look Like Winners This Year
in Game With Bucknell at
Island Park

Island Park will be the scene of a
battle royal Saturday, November 1S,
when the football elevens representing
meet in their annual contest About
ten years ago, these two teams played
at Lewisburg for the first time and the
battlefield collegians carried off the
laurels with a 10 to score. Since
1906, these two institutions have had
yearly contest. except in 1911, when
the two teams did not meet. The rec
ord of games won in the present SER
les gives the decision in six of their
nine games to Bucknell, while Gettys-
burg has been successful in three of
the contests.
In 1912, the first contest was staged
on the Island grounds and in every
game played in the Capital City, Buck
nell has proved itself supreme. Year
after year, the Gettysburgians have at
tempted to lower the colors of Buck
nell, but have always fallen short.
This year Coach Johnson's proteges
Will have to go their best to defeat
the battlefield collegians. The Gettys-
burg team is about the best that has
represented that institution since the
star eleven of 1906.
Coach Bergman has built around
Rote, the former Central high star a
well balanced and formidable ma
chine. He has attracted attention not
only by his field generalship and for
ward passing: but his open field run
ming has brought forth favorable
comment as he has sidestepped and
zigzagged through the opponents de-
fense. Besides Rote, there are other
Harrisburg boys who hold positions
on the varsity squad, Emanuel, Houtz
and Loudenslager.
Although Coach Bergman has a
team which can be depended upon to
put forth the punch" at the right
time, still in Bucknell no easy oppo-
nent will be found. In Weisharr, Hop
Ter, Hendren and Mangan, the Lewis
burgianS have a veteran backfield.
This combination proved it's worth in
last years game and demonstrated
that it was able to gain consistently.

CLARK RETURNS

Will Play Fullback Position
Until Close of Season; Beck
Takes Place on Left

State College, Nov. Z. Penn States
drive toward the three big games on
it's schedule started tonight with a
spirited signal practice and a long
drill in fundamentals. For the first
time in a fortnight. Coach Dick Har-
low had all the regulars in their
places. The mended cripples, Ege and
Higgins. took their posts at the ends,
and Captain Clark jumped into his
place in the back field. Clark's alb
sence apparently has had no effect on
his playing, put he will not be sent
into scrimmage before the middle
of the week.
Beck Back to Old Place
With Clark's return to his fullback
position, Beck to-day resumed his
place at left halfback. Hess had had
that job while Beck was serving as
fullback. The backfeld shift to it's
original ombination will hold, bar
ring accidents, for the remaining
games with Lehigh, Lafayette and
Pittsburgh. Aside from q satisfac-
tory drill in handling wet and heavy
ball. State gained little football expe-
rience in the Geneva matinee. The
weakness of the Western Pennsylvania
eleven and the muddy field prevented
the coaches from learning much about
the spots that need bolstering in
States defense.
