When .Steelton High meets Tech
on Saturday, football followers will
get their first chance to compare the
two city teams who will meet on
Thanksgiving Day. Steelton support
ers say they are confident Steelton
will win, but no one has attempted
to say what the score will be. Tech
fans claim the Maroon eleven will
take fall out of the Blue and White
team, which has record of four
straight victories.
The only comparison of the
strength of Steelton and Tech is in
the Lebanon games. Tech trimmed
the Lebanon bunch 80 to- 0, at Leb-
anon, while Steelton had a hard
time winning 10 to 0 at Steelton.
Overcontidence had much to do with
Steelton's trouble, however, and
Coach Cockill is getting his boys over
this.
Techs Hardest Battle
That the game will be a hard one
for Tech, is anticipated and each day
the men have been put through a
gruelling practice. A victory at any
cost is the watchword in the Maroon
camp, while Steelton will fight to
keep a clean slate.
one thing which must be consid-
cred is the fact that last Saturday
against Central, not one substitution
was made for the Steelton team, the
eleven men who started the game
finishing it in good condition and
without any injury. While it has not
been announced definitely. Steelton
players hope to see McCauley return
at guard. He has been out for a
month because of scholastic standing.
Last year he was one of the best Of
fensive and defensive men on the
Blue and White team, and his return
is expected to add much strength to
the line. Morrett and Shaeffer, at

are relatively few. One Allison Hill

The Liberty Loan headquarters are
located in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms. Miss Agnes Drayer, secretary
to E. i. McColgin, has heard so
much Liberty Loan talk that she de-
cided to do a little work for the good
of the cause. The first person to fall

Band Concerts in Streets
The Harrisburg post office, and the
Maclay and. Hill stations, will close
from noon until. 6 o'clock to-day, in
order that employees may assist with
the sale of Liberty Bonds. Postmaster
Sites announced last evening that all
employees, including carriers and
clerks, will observe the order.
Preceding the meeting at Chestnut
Street Auditorium this evening, band
concerts will be held in various parts
of the city. The music will be in
charge of Sergeant Thomas p. Mo-
ran. The Municipal, Commonwealth
and New Cumberland bands will par
ticipate. The concerts will be held
between the hours of 7.30 and s
o'clock. The Commonwealth band.
accompanied by the recruiting staff
and prominent speakers, will march
to Herr and Cameron streets, where
a concert will be given. Meetings
are planned for Seventh and Cumber-
land, Sixth and Verbeke, William
and Reilly and Third and Market
streets. The Municipal band will play
at the auditorium.

for the fray. Their team defeated
Tufts last week by lop-sided score
and as the Middies won with even
greater ease from the Carlisle In
dams, the Army is anxious to take
on the Navy again this year. With
no big games at Yale. Harvard and
Princeton this year, there is a big
demand for the annual Army-Navy
game. If the Navy does not object
to the longer trip it is quite possible
that the big Yale bowl. with it's high
seating capacity, could be secured
for the game. There would be no
necessity for the expense of build
ing additional seats as there would
be at the Polo grounds or at almost
any place that might be mentioned.
Besides the football crowd is accus-
toned to making the trip to New
Haven. and it has never been found
inconvenlent in the past.
Songs Indicate Something
At West Point last Saturday the
Cadets sang numerous songs about
the Navy, songs that they hope to
sing when they meet the Middies.
That old familiar Good Night,
Navy" echoed over the plains while
the Cadets were moving down the
Tufts eleven, and one of the big bat
tie cries this season at the reserva-
ton up the Hudson is Five straight!
Five straight! Five straight! In
quiry as to it's meaning brought up
the information that the Army now
has a record of four straight over
the Navy at football, and this wear
the Cadets are yelling for the fifth
straight victory. In every song which
the Cadet Corps sang Saturday, and
they sang several. there was some
reference to the swamping of the
Navy.
The wording of the songs reflects
the optimism that prevails all
through West Point. 1t is simply a
hunch. one West Pointer expressed
it. but every. last cadet seems to have
the same idea. The team is point
ing for a game with the Navy and
the other cadets are more than hop
ing for such a game, they are plan
ming for it. Down at Annapolis the
midshipmen feel the same way, and
the team is going ahead with. the
idea that it must be ready in case
the ban of the officials is lifted.

Washington. Oct. 24.-Not a COM

and bond-buying were the order of

Liberty Day dawned with less than

BASEBALL LOOKS
VERY DOUBTFUL
Many Minors Will Not Start
Next Season if War
Continues

New York, Oct. 24.-Those in con-
troll of organized baseball are some
what apprehensive over the future
of the sport, provided the war con-
will take steps toward retrenchment
calculated to relieve the stress of
the present high cost of operation.
The future of the minor leagues is
particularly uncertain. Many of these
circuits of smaller classification has
shown Il disposition to terminate op-
crations. until the close of the great
war. Not a few were forced to the
wall last summer.
Therefore, the annual meeting of
the National Commission, the goY-
orning body of the minor leagues,
which will be held soon at Louis
VILE, Ky, is of unusual importance
this year. The minor leagues, like
the majors, have decided to hold the
conference early so that whatever
policies are adopted may be matur-
ed before spring.
Down to Rock Bed
Tie minor leagues now are down TO
the rock bed of salary and operating
expenses If the unmarried major
stars are called TO the colors the
National and American Leagues can
always go to the brush for recruits
TO patch up their lines. The minor
league field for rebuilding is limited;
1t will be proposed at the annual
meeting of the National Association
to have declared a sort of basepall
moratorium. This will have refer
ence to the wealth of territory only;
Many of the little leagues would
gladly suspend operations were they
assured that their territory would pc
inviolate during the period of the
war. The National Commission Ia
vors such protection for the smaller
leagues, and will urge the assocla-
ton to grant such Il request. II
would not be surprising. therefore, 4
none but the Glass A. A. and Class a
minor leagues were in operation in
1918.

his aides-de-camp, and of Col. McRae
at army headquarters, and visiting Of,
ficers from outside posts looked ad-
miringly at the purchases today as
they called, skidding lightly over them

declared today that even the annual
test rides have nothing on the job for
strenuousness.
