PLANS LAID FOR TWO
NEW GAGE LEAGUES

With the Central Pennsylvania bas-
ketball league completed for it's sec
ond season, with the exception of two
contests, plans are on foot to form two
other leagues in the Cumberland and
Lebanon valleys. Both would be under
the control of the Pennsylvania Inter-
Scholastic Athletic Association, and the
same rules of eligibility would apply.
Officers of the association have a
committee at work preparing details
for a meeting to be held soon. The
committee consists of Prof. Steoy
Peters, Hershey; Prof. c. C. Dotterer,
Annville, and Prof. G. r. Davenport,
Myerstown. Because of their location
both Camp Hill and Oberlin could
select either one of the leagues for
membership. Located at the heads of
both valleys, they would be just as
convenient in one league as in the
other.
AS now proposed, the Cumberland
Valley league would comprise Carlisle,
Chambersburg, Waynesboro, Hanover
Gettysburg, and possibly Oberlin and
Camp Hill On the Lebanon Valley
circuit would be Hershey, Hummels-
town, Myerstown, Annville, Palmyra,
Elizabethtown, Lititz, Ephrata, Mount

READING. HIGH CAPTURES
HONORS IN SCHOLASTIC
LEAGUE; LEBANON SECOND

Maroon showed in its last three games,
all of which it played on foreign floors
and won, that Ii must be considered in
the running for several years to come,
as Beck, Wilsbach, and Lingle, all first
year lads. All three are clever players
and have done much to put Tech in
the running, and enabled the younger
school to win Friday night.
Tech students demand that the next
game be played on the armory floor
where Tech has played all its home
games since the first of the year While
possibly not as much money would be
made, it will give the Tech team the
advantage of playing at home. The
argument is that Tech needs the cham
pionship more than it does the money.
Then, too, it is pointed out that Cen
trail will have two weeks to get its
Fields-Gregory combination in the
running again. The lay-off of four
weeks had it's effect on the playing of
the team as we'll as of these two play
ers Friday night.
Tech does not have game sched-
uled for this week, and so an inter-
mission of two weeks will transpire be-
q regular game. This will also have
it's effect on the team, the Tech fol-
lowers think. AS it now stands, the
contest is booked for the Armory, and
If change is made it will be against
the wishes of most of the Tech lads.
In the Tech inter- class league the
Sophs still lead with four victories and
one defeat and look like the winners.
The game Tuesday will see the Seniors
and Juniors in action. In the Central
Penn circuit Steelton comes to Cen
trail, and two weeks hence Tech and
Central will wind up the season. The
standing is as follows:
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-03-19

JOY, and Middletown. Invitations will
be extended to these teams, and it is
expected that there will be no difficulty
in forming six or eight-team circuits
While many of these two maintain
first grade schools in scholarship, they
do not have an enrolment of many
more than 100 pupils, with a large
percentage of these being girls. For
any of these teams to be admitted to
the Central Penn league, would be un-
fair to them because of their small
student bodies. The number of bows
in the schools in the larger circuit runs
from 400 to coo.
The new league will be under the
control of the older organization, and
all questions will be referred to the
latter body. Each year there is al
ways an undecided question of su-
premacy, but with league under way.
and all the teams playing practically
the same schedule, some definite con-
clusion can always be reached. There
is possibility that the reserve teams
from Tech, Central and the Academy
will also be invited to. join the new
circuits.

Reading High School is the new
champion of the Central pennsylvania
basketball league. The "Pretzep' boys
made u record of nine victories out of
ten games. The honors came Satur-
day night at Reading when Lebanon
was defeated by score of 40 to 25.
While Reading was lucky in winning
from Tech in an extra period game,
nosing out Steelton by one point, win
ming from Central by two points when
the local aggregation was crippled, yet
their honors are deserved. 1t is gem
orally conceded that Reading has the
best balanced team in the circuit. Leb-
anon is the only other team that had
chance, and much of their success
can be attributed to the work of Cap
tain Moore who was the life of the
quintet
Reading put in the cage four of the
five players who were the runners-Gp
to Central last season. With this eX-
perience. Reading played sterling ball
all season, and lost only the game
played at Lebanon. When the teams
met Saturday night, each had a record
of eight victories and one defeat. Read
ing had lost to Lebanon, while Leb-
anon had lost to Central
In addition to its four veteran play
ers Reading unearthed star in
Nyquist, a Sophomore, at that school.
He at once proved a star, and is the
second highest scorer in the league.
The lad has two more years to play.
Lebanon can take consolation in the
fact that it has the best scorer in the
league. He stands head and shoulders
above the remainder of the players in
scoring, especially in field goals. In
both of the games against Central and
Tech played on the Lebanon floor, the
Lebanon leader rained in IL field goals,
tieing a league record set by Killinger
last season for Tech against the Lam
caster aggregation.
With the final decision as to the
championship, local basketball patrons
are turning their attention to the local
series between Central and Tech. The

Both WolgaSt and Mcguire are
favorites with the local boxing
fans and as each is anxious to
show that he is the superior boxer
the bout will be one of the best
staged here for some time.
The semi-windup will be be-
tween Pete Howell and Young

.MELLYs CORNER.


New York State League magnates
will meet in Harrisburg Wednesday
night. During the day there will be
some lively scenes in the hotel lobby.
Trades and sales will be in order and
managers will be busy lining up play
ers for the season.
From one of the New York State
League towns comes a suggestion that
two seasons be arranged. This might
prove money-maker providing the
same team does not win out in each
series. 1t has never been tried in the
East. President Farrell is not likely
to favor the plan.
Track athletes are keeping busy in
doors. 1t will soon be time for out
door work. Harrisburg high schools
are showing considerable activity in
preparation for the various track
meets to be held during May and June.

LATE RALLY WINS
j FOR READING FIVE
Lebanon Tossers Make Strong
Resistance in First Half
of Game

Reading. Pa, March 19.-Drawing
away from their opponents-during the
last eight minutes of play, Reading
High, by late rally, vanquished the
Lebanon High cagemen in the final Cen
s tral Pennsylvania Scholastic League
game of the season at the Armory on
Saturday night by score of 40 to %.
A packed house, which included several
hundred rooters from Lebanon, cheered
4 the victory which gave the Red and
Black quintet the league championship
and the silver trophy held by Harris
i burg Central High.
The visitors made an effective resist
ance against the speedy floor work of
the Reading squad until half of the
second period had been played. With
but hree-point lead the local battlers
started sensational rally that netted
sounded, while the visitors got but
two points.
Reading outplayed its rivals in the
first half until the last few minutes.
when the latter cut down a lead of nine
points to three, the half ending at is
to 10 in the locals favor. The Leba-
non lads kept close TO the home five
in the second half until the score was
26 to %, when the victors started their
squirt with field goal by Johnny Die
trich.
The conquerors guarded their oppon-
ents closely, holding them to six field
goals, while they tailed II. seven in
each half. Dick Nyquist was a big
factor in the locals showing in the
second period when he Gagged foul
goals out of 10 chances and 3 goals
from the floor after he had been blank
ed during the first 90 minutes of play.
Johnny Dietrich opposed Moore, Leb-
anon's phenomenal shooter. and leading
scorer of the league. He gave the
latter little freedom, holding him to
two field tosses. Moore was way off in
fouls, getting but Is out of &c shots
from the 15-foot mark.
Russell Wilson played a wonderful
game for the Reading club, getting four
pretty double-deckers and intercepting
Lebanon's passes continually. Bin
Rhodes allowed Strickler Lebanon's
other speedy forward, but one field toss.
