Schuylkill Seminary Five
Is Winner Over Academy

Schuylkill Seminary five defeated
the Harrisburg Academy quintet in a
return game here Saturday afternoon;
score, 33 to 81. The game was the
most exciting that the local team has
taken part in this season and was not
decided until the referees whistle blew
in the second periord.
In the first half Bruce. OF the local
team, started the scoring with a field
goal, and from that on the game see
sawed back and forth throughout the
entire first half closing with the Acad-
envy leading by a score of 16 to IA.
The second half started with the Wis
itors drawing first blood and jumping
into the lead. Throughout the second
half SchuyllSill maintained a lead of
half dozen points, but toward the
end the local squad threatened to come
to the front. With the end of the
game only a minute and a half away,
Academy scored two field goals in
quick succession, but the whistle blew
and ended the rally.
Roth and Bruce starred for the local
team, the former scoring fifteen points
out of two field and eleven foul goals.
The latter received eight points to his
credit by caging four field goals.
Pauling, the captain of the visitors,
was their star. getting five field and
three foul goals. Frundt, the big
center, ranged next with five field
goals opposite his name.

intercollegiate Race Is
Close, With Penn Leading

The eastern intercollegiate basket
ball race continues TO be close and as
at all times during the season the
eventual winner is still a doubtful
quantity. Cornell's victory by one
point over the Yale five at New Haven
Saturday night practically puts the
Blue out of the running for the cham
pionship, unless q miracle occurs, be-
cause practically never in the history
of the league has a team lost three
games out of ten and still won the
championship.
At the same time Cornell was win
ming. Princeton was defeating Dart
mouth and Penn was trimming Co
lumbia, and the race now looks like a
three-cornered affair between Cornell,
Pennsylvania and Princeton, with the
odds in favor of Pennsylvania. which
has played the best game consistently
during the present season.
Penn has defeated Princeton, Co
lumbia, Cornell and Dartmouth and
lost to Yale. while Princeton has been
beaten by Pennsylvania and Yale, and
Cornell has lost to Pennsylvania, but
beaten Yale twice.

ANNUAL STATE LIVE BIRD CHAMPIONSHIP SHOOT BIG LOCAL EVENT TOMORROW
WEEIYS K3SooRNER

Maurice Vignaux, French billiard
list, died Thursday at Monte Carlo.
This famous cue artist was an invalid
for 10 years. He played billiards
daily up to within three days of his
death. 1t was his only exercise, and
he met all comers at home. He was
a victim of stomach trouble. VignauX
played as far back as 1874 and won
many championship honors.
Philadelphia is still fighting for the
Army-Navy game. A move has been
started for the erection of a stadium
for the University of Pennsylvania.
Plans, 1t is said, have already been
completed and committees will start
activity this week in organizing to
boost this project.
The annual live bird championship
shoot will take place in Harrisburg
tomorrow. Shooters from all over
Pennsylvania will come to this city
to contest for honors. The shooting
will start at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, and will continue throughout the
day. The Harrisburg Sportsmen's
Association members will be on hand
to take care of the visitors.
In order to get into collegiate con-
tests this year. students must be up
in their studies. Warnings have been
given at all colleges and universities

LOCAL OFFICIALS
ARE IMPARTIAL
Referee Not to Blame For Loss
of Games; Talk About
Rule Changes

That officiating In the basketball
games in this vicinity is of the best is
evidenced by the fact that in four
contests played in and about the city
recently 166 fouls were called on play
ers for the infracton of the rules. IN
every instance but one, the visiting
team received fewer penalties than the
home players
When Wilkes-Barre played Central
in this city Central was penalized "a
times by a local arbiter, while the
Coal Barons received but is penalties.
on the same night in the Tech-Read-
ing contest the local players fouled
Is times according to the referee,
while but IS penalties were inflicted
on the visitors.
Down at Steelton when that team
met York the official called Sc fouls
on the home team, while the York ag-
gregation offended but % times. Camp
Hill and Middletown clashed on the
same evening and each team received
16 penalties. The conclusion to be
drawn from these contests is that no
team has an opportunity to blame poor
officiating for the loss of a game in
this locality
Discuss Rule Changes
or the 166 fouls called in these four
contests local and visiting athleteS con-
Verted 101 of them into points for their
teams. In other words 10 out of 16
trials slipped through the net In the
Central Pennsylvania basketball lea
que of the total of 1919 points scored
during the season by all of the teams,
455 have been scored from the Is
foot mark From these figures it can
be seen that there is a foul tossed for
every goal that is made from field.
4 hn m
of tossing of the free throws is again
under discussion. This change as
practiced in some of the leagues would
compel the offended player to toss the
foul. This it is feared make the game
rougher, as there would be fewer fouls
converted into counters, and players
knowing this would be sure to take
advantage of the fact. AS a result of
much consideration the present sys-
tenn of having one player to do all the
tossing from the free throws Is like
ly to remain for some time to come.

Charles Barrett, one of the best all a
around athletes at Cornell has been
dropped because of his studies. This
Is Barretts senior year. At Harvard
Eddie Mahon has been barred from
athletics because he is back in his
studies. He has until April to make
good.
Harrisburg Independents on Satur-
day won from the Carlisle Indians.
score As to 49, The local tossers
showed great shooting form. The In
dians were fast and kept rushing the
Independents at every move, but the
guarding of Ford and Mcconnell was
q big factor in keeping down Carlisles
score.
An interesting feature at SATURDAYS
game between the Independents, and
Carlisle Indians was the numbering of
visiting players. Before the game
started each player was introduced TO
the spectators. The latter enjoyed the
innovation.
Barnes, of the Casino Bowling
League last week moved to within
three points of Montgomery who
holds the lead as the best bowler.
Barnes, member of the Senators has
1S9. The Orpheums lead in total
number of points, 50,30S, and an aver

FarrelPs Minors Improve;
Will Survive Hard Bumps
Special to the Telegraph

New York, Feb. 21.-John II. Far
rell, secretary and chairman of the
National Association of Professional
Baseball Clubs, which is the govern
ing body of the minor leagues, sees
i'm the recently concluded peace a COM
plete revivications of his wounded
family.
The Federal League campaign"
said Mr.. Farrell. had little effect upon
the major league save indirectly. The
minor leebues, on the other hand, were
Very hard hit. They were the prinCi-
pal prey of the outlaws. More than
30 per cent. of the recruits for the in
dependents were taken from minor
league clubs. This deprived the de-
pendents of the major leagues of one
of their chief sources of revnue.
In 1913 my office handled approx
mately 1900 minor league contracts.
In 1914 the number dropped below
1900, and last year it dropped below
5000 In those two seasons nearly
half of the little leagues under pro-
lection were forced to disband.
MANY of these, however, will be
lined up again this reason. ! think by
the end of next year organized ball
will have a greater membership than
ever before
