j w CORNER

Steelton people were much aroused
Saturday, and very properly so, over
reports that Harrisburg football
coaches feared disorder at the Tech
Steelton football game. That there
was no ground for these widely pub
lished reflections upon the towns
good name for fair play, is shown by
the results. -Steelton has never given
any team ground for complaint.
Neither do the police have trouble at
games. Sport in Steelton is backed
by the good people of the town and
not by rowdies. Those folks of Har-
risburg who cast improper refiec-
tions upon the towns fair reputation
owe Steelton an apology, in the
light of events.
The unexpected happened at Steel
ton Saturday. Steelton won and de-
served the victory. There was no
trouble, and the officials all give
evidence that they knew their bust
ness. Those reports circulated Sat
urday before the game threw Il big
scare into Tech players, and they
went into the game with little pep"
Two Tech players, according to re-
ports, had no heart. in Saturdays
game at Steelton. They lacked the
punch that played a big factor in
previous games. While Tech had 10
training table, there are rules to fol-
low during the season, and those
rules should be obeyed. Late hours
are not a good thing for any athlete,
especially before an important con-
test.

ACADEMY WINS
EASY VICTORY
Walk All Over Yeates Eleven
at Lancaster Saturday;
Stars in Game

An easy victory was the result of
the Harrisburg Academy's pilgrim
age to Lancaster Saturday The
Yeates school proved itself to be too
small a school for the Academy
schedule and will probably not be
played again in future seasons. This
was Yeates first game and they were
q green team. The final score was
81 to 0.
Fumbles and short periods pre-
vented uch larger score. Yeates
fought hard until the game was
over. Yeates made only three first
downs, of which two was by the
aerial method, and one by an end
run. w. May was the star of the
game, scoring seven out of the nine
touchdowns on end runs.
All these runs were for more than
twenty yards and one was for more
than eighty yards. Wren took L.
Mays place at quarterback as the lat
ter has a sprained ankle and will
probably be out of the game for the
rest of the season.
The Game in Brief
Yeates won the toss and received,
Moore kicking for Harrisburg. The
ball went behind Yeates' goal line
and resulted in a touchback. Yeates
was held for downs on their twenty
five yard line and w. May took the
ball on an end run for the blue and
COLDS first, touchdown,
With the exception of the touch
back, the result of the second kick
off was identical with the first. The
half ended with the score of &c to O.
with the ball on Yeates' thirty-five
yard line.
The second half was a repetition
of the first. Miller scored a touch
down by falling on tumble 'behin

With no desire to take any credit
away from Steelton for the victory
on Saturday, it is the general be-
lief t, at things would have been diff
terent had Coach Ryan been on the
Jop. Running away from so i'm
portant battle, in the opinion of
many local fans who swear by Tech,
is ineXcusable.
1t looks as If Coach Ryan was bad
ly scared, too, by the reports. All
the talk may have been for the pur-
pose OF putting Tech followers up in
the air. 1t was evident from the
start that nothing was going to hap
pen except football. There were
occasions when officials in this city
did not do as well as those at Steel
ton Saturday.
Gettysburg and Bucknell will play
in Harrisburg on Saturday. This is
the annual football classic for this
city and, weather permitting, there

NEW WORKERS TO
CONTINUE BOXING
Fans Enroll as Members TO
Beat Frawley Bill; Many
Applications

New York, Nov. 12.-Despite the
fact that Governor Whitman decided
that the people of Greater New York
should not be permitted to witness
public exhibitions of boxing, that
form of sport still is very popular
The truth of the assertion is proved
by the rush of patrons to qualify as
members of the various clubs in this
city, and their evident eagerness to
attend bouts without reference to the
means by which their wishes are
gratiiled. From the day that the
Frawley law repeal bill was jammed
through the State Legislature. the
promoters of this city have been
busily engaged in perfecting their
membership plans, and to-day each
of the ten clubs located in Greater
New York sis prepared to proceed
on that basis.
Many Applications
A canvass of these clubs showed
that $4,000 have signed application
cards, and these merely represent the
regular patrons of the various clubs
who live in the vicinity of the club
houses. Each club has a large Glen
tele composed of residents of its
neighborhood, and these are to be
found at the ringside every night
that bouts are staged.
The figures indicate approximately
the number that would attend each
set of bouts of ordinary quality
These are regulars, who get seats at
every entertainment in the nearest
boxing clubs. But the statistics do
not show the attendance at any club
when bouts of extraordinary attrac-
tiveness are staged. On such occa-
sions the patrons come from all over
the city and jam the clubhouse. This
was the case at the Leonard ] ohnson
contest at the Harlem Sporting Club,
when there was such rush that
thousands were unable to gain ad-
mittance.
General Interest Not Shown
The figures do not begin to show
the general interest in a bout of the
first quality in an arena sufficiently
large to accommodate a proportion
of those who would like to see the
contest, for on such occasions the
promoters have put the prices SO
high as to keep down the numbers
Beyond doubt fifty thousand persons
would have attended the Willard
Moran bout could they have obtained
tickets at reasonable prices, md
therefore, when the Legislature re-
pealed the Frawley law that body
served notice on fifty thousand New
Workers that they could not have q
sport to which they were partial.
Closely following this action by the
Legislature the Federal military au-
thorities set the stamp of their APP
proval on boxing as an admirable
means of fitting soldiers for duty al
the front, so that at present the
citizens of New York are by legisla-
tive edict denied as civilians a sport
that by the national government is
declared to be a good thing for the
soldiers. However, the membership
plan is quite likely to successfully in
tervene and give the patrons of box
ing their favorite sport until such
time as new law, to be introduced
by Assemblyman McCue, is put into
operation.

Murphy Is Big Star
in Ambulance Game

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-THE United
States Army Ambulance Corps team
from Allentown defeated the United
States Marines from Philadelphia
Navy Yard by 16 to 0 in a gridiron
clash on Franklin Field yesterday.
Three goals from the field by young
Mike Murphy, son of the famous
Mike Murphy, Penn's athletic trainer;
a touchdown by Cubbage after TAX
ing a forward pass from this same
Murphy, and a goal following the
touchdown by Murphy accounted
for the u. S. A C.'s tallies.
Captain Mahan, skipper of the
Marine team and a famous star at
Harvard. pulled a tendon early In
the second period and had to leave
the game. Johnny Scott, formerly
of Lafayette, was pretty nearly the
whole team for the Marines. and
played one of the greatest individual
games ever seen on Franklin Field.
