SCOUT TEAMS TIE
ON THE GRIDIRON
Troops Six and Two Fail to
Score in Championship
Battle

On Wednesday afternoon Troop 6
meta team from Troop in a game
for the scout championship. The
result was scoreless tie, neither
team being able to make a touch
down. Both teams made several
trials for field goals, but none were
successful. Troop entered the
game in q weakened condition, due
to the absence of Halfbacks Soult
and Troup and Front Line Men
Heagy, Diener and Rhinesmith.
In all athletic contests hereafter,
Troop will require that on the day
before the contest each troop hand
to local headquarters a lineup and
have the same certified.
On Tuesday evening, December
18th, the troop will hold a Father
and Son Night. The program for
the affair will include a demonstra-
ton of scout craft, a supper pre-
pared by the Susquehannock Council
of Camp Fire Girls and addresses by
various scout leaders.
Scouts Diener, Rhinesmith, Black
and Mattson were members of the
cast of "Out Somewhere" the play
given in the Orpheum Theater last
week for the Roberta Lloyd Disbrow

The continued cold, however, has
retarded work in the strip of terri
tory laid bare by the blast of am
munition ship and it will be days,
perhaps, before the snow has thawed
sufficiently to enable soldiers and
workmen to drag the ruins for bodies
known to be there.
The big public funeral service
planned for to-day was postponed
until Monday because of the difficulty
of opening graves. After the burial
of the dead from the fire zone, Camp
Hill Cemetery where lie hundreds of
those lost on the Titanic and the

Perhaps the most touching after
math of the disaster is the fear gen.
orally expressed by citizens to-day
that for the first time in it's history,
Halifax this year will not celebrate
Christmas. ThL dealers have aban-
doned all plans for The holiday rush.
Some effort will be made to make
the Yuletide the happiest possible
under the circumstances for the des-
titute and for the bulk of the wound
ed.
Many of the New England sur
geons and nurses probably will spend
Christmac here. Already they have
planned for a real New England
Christmas in the hospitals, especially
in those institutions crowded with
children, the majority of whom may

Americans to Retain
Former Player Limit;
Training Trips Still On

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Retention of the
25-player limit and continuation of
the usual spring training trips were
decided upon at the closing session
of the American League meeting last
night. The clubowuers cleared up
these points in preparation for the
joint meeting with the National Lea
guers here tomorrow.
Summarized. the important ques-
tions to be considered by the sixteen
clubowners of the two leagues are:
The advisability of reducing the
playing schedule to 140 games.
The advisability of a 154-game
schedule running only five and one
half months.
Devising a method to collect the
Federal war tax,
Settlement of the financial obliga-
tions resulting from the Federal
League war.
Suggestions of a new division of
the world series receipts.
Inserting a war clause in the play
ers' contracts to protect the club
owner in the event the player is
called into the National Army.
President Johnsons announcement
that the $4,000 fund agreed upon
to reimburse hackers of Federal
League clubs still remained unpaid
caused a surprise. He said that the
American League was ready to pay
it's share--S55, ,000-at once, but that
the entire issue would have to be set
tied by the clubowners of the two
leagues tomorrow. Il was revealed
that Edward Gwinner, who lost heav-
lily in backing the Pittsburgh club
of the Federal League, is to receive
$500 of the fund, and the balance
is to be divided between Harry Sin
clair who financed the Newark club,
and the Ward estate of New York,
which supported the Brooklyn Fed
erals.

Camp Hill High school will oppose
York County Academy on the Camp
Hill floor this evening in the second
game of the season between these
teams. This game is expected to be
one sided, as the York team is much
faster than the local five. The game
was scheduled this week on account
of an agreement between the man
agements. Coach Dunkle believed the
boys will benefit greatly from this
contest, as it gives them experience
in opposing players of more expert
ence. The girls team which is play
ing sensational ball is not scheduled

Donald Wren Captain of
Harrisburg Academy Team !;
Is Unanimous Choice

The big event of the day at the Har-
risburg Academy yesterday was the
election of the football captain for
1918. Donald Wrep>w was unanimously
elected to this office by the varsity
team. His election was not a sur
prise as he played a star game all
season and was expected to BIT
chosen. He filled the position of half
back throughout the year and during
the latter part of the season called
signals from this position.
Wren will probably hold the posi-
tion of forward on the basketball
team this year If he continues at his
present rate. Wren is also a member
of the school cabinet and is promi-
nent in all the Academy activities.
