TECH SQUAD TO
MEET DICKINSON
Practice Scrimmage at Car
|. Isle Tomorrow; No Game
For Saturday

The Technical High School foot
ball squad will go to Carlisle to-
morrow afternoon to play practice
game with the squad from Dickinson
College. Coach Ryan wants to keep
his players in good condition for
the two final games of the season
with Wilkes-Barr and Central. TO
lay off this week because of the Lock
Haven cancellation would likely do
more harm than good, hence the trip
to Carlisle.
All the players came out of the
Steelton game in good physical con-
dition, and unless other injuries turn
up will be in first class fettle for the
Thanksgiving clash. The game with
Wilkes Barre will be played on the
previous Saturday. and the Maroon
should have not much opposition in
bowling over the Miners. No ef-
fort will be made to equal the Cen
trail score, and the coaches will use
substitute players after the game is
on ice.

All Players to Work

The first and second string players
are in the squad that goes to Car
Isle. While Tech will be no match
for their olders and more exper-
fenced opponents, each team will be
given an opportunity to carry the
ball, and also to work on the de-

squads, and will be a splendid chance
for the two aggregations to try out
their new plays for the final games.
The Tech team has lost but two
games to date, and will try to keep
their record clean during tho re-
mainder of the year. The eleven
has run up more points than any
other Tech squad. and their final
goal is to win on Thanksgiving. Be-
cause of the fact that it will be the
final meeting between Central ana
Tech. both teams will put forth
greater efforts to land the final

his was placed there only by proxy,
but his explanation did not win him
votes. The contest soon became the
most bitter in the history of the

LONDON, eb. 24.-EDgland is

Wholehearted approval of the
sternly restrictive measures which
the premier outlined yesterday be-
fore the house of commons was ex-

The only fault British news

the existing situation" declared
the Chronicle, but there has been
so much complacent optimism in
this country about the war that a
corrective was necessary.

quire the land and issued the
bonds for the army post in or
der to carry out the mandate of
the constitution requiring the leg
islatrue to provide for military
training.
In this connection the national
defense act recently passed by
. congress, providing for the train
ing of militia at the expense of
the government, was cited.
VaIidates Election.
The other act merely authorizes
any county in which the secre-
tary of war has selected site for
permanent mobilization, train
ing and supply station to submit
the question to the voters for
authority to acquire the land
and issue bonds. In other words,
it authorizes the very thing
Pierce county has done, and vail
dates the bond election.
The attorney generals con-
tention was that the constitution
restricts the borrowing of money
to strictly county purposes, in
Guiding every debt imposed direct
ly by the legislature, or attempt
ed to be assumed by the elector-
ate of the county.
He argued that to acquire the
land for an army post is not for
a county purpose and that moth
ing the legislature might do could
make 1T county purpose.
Well Prepared.
In answer to this, Lyle declared
that the legislature, in imposing
the duty on Pierce county, was
exercising the sovereign func-
lions of the state in aiding in the
national defense, and that in such
case the other limiting provi-
sions of the constitution about
creating debts only for county
purposes do not apply when the
legislature enacts a law for this
particular purpose.
In support of this contention,
Lyle and his assistants had gath
cred together every precedent in
the United States where states
have exerted this sovereign right
of giving their services for the
defense Of the state and the
nation.
The legislatures recent memoir
ial urging congress to adopt uni
versal military training, as well
as the resolution offering the
states military resources in case
of emergency, were read to the
court in support of the contention
that the American Lake training
station is necessity.
Benefit to County.
To further demonstrate the
need of the army post. Lyle read
to the court a portion of the re-
port of the chief of staff of the
u. s. army, showing how the Pu-
get Sound district might easily
be cut off from the rest of the
country by an invading enemy,
and that such an enemy, once 1t
had gained foot in this territory,
might maintain itself indefinitely.
In the event of universal MILF
tary training, 1t was shown, the
army post would afford a place
where the boys of Pierce county,
and the state might be drilled and
trained without going far away
from home. Thus it would be a
direct benefit to the people of the
county who voted to issue the
bonds and purchase the land for
the army post.
Pierce county's case had been
prepared with same carefulness
and thoroughness which marked
the work of pushing the enabling
acts through the legislature with
record-breaking speed.
