left on her schedule: Reading to-
morrow on the Island. Harrisburg
Academy at the Academy November
10, Steelton on the Island November
"a and Tech on Thanksgiving. This
season will wind up the grid game at
Central.
Reading is said to have an excep-
tionally fast team this year They
have won two games out of four. On
October Reading defeated Pottsvlle
High, one of their oldest rivals, in
one of the greatest exhibitions OF
football ever seen in Reading, score
20 to 10. October % they won from
Stevens Trade. 20 to G. Lebanon de-
feated them. 13 to 0, and last Satur-
day Reading was unable to stop the
heavy backfield of the Lehigh fresh
men and lost, 20 to 6. Central played
Stevens Trade at Lancaster and beat
them, 10 to 6.
Hard Scrimmages
Coach Smith has been putting the
Central squad through some hard
scrimmages and signal drills this
week and is confident of a victory.
The backfleld is beginning to play
the football they are capable of and
should show up well on Saturday.

of Ursinus, will be the umpire. The
game will start promptly at 2.30. The

STATE LEAGUE
MAY CONTINUE
Sunday Baseball Would Be
Big Help to the Far
rell Circuit

Syracuse, N. Y, Nov 9.-Provid-
Ing the proposed law to legalize Sun
day baseball in New York City and
throughout the state is adopted be-
fore the spring of 1918, it is be-
lieved the New York State League
magnates will decide to reconsider
their vote not to open the parks next
season and instead will decide for
continuation of business. Such a
prediction was offered tonight In
local baseball circles.
With Sunday baseball allowed In
New York state cities, it is pointed
out that Albany, Troy and possibly
Schnectady would be able to again
sustain professional baseball, should
the league be operated on more
economical plan than heretofore. 1t
Is pointed out that when Sunday
games were permitted in Albany
and Troy the magnates managed to
struggle along, even though the week
day crowds were slim, but once the
patronage on Sunday was killed by
interference on the part of the au-
thorities the club owners could not
meet the expenses and were COM
PEELED to quit.
One Town Better
or the three New York state cities
making up the State league last sea-
son, only Binghamton would profit
through a change in the law, mas
much as the games at Syracuse and
Elmira were never prohibited. 1t Is
through the possibility of the league
rebuilding it's circuit so that more
Sunday cities would be taken in that
the proposed new law would offer the
greatest assistance to the organiza-
ton as a whole.
President Farrell, of the New
York State League, who has his
headquarters located at Auburn,
could not be found tonight in order
to gain his views on the subject.
However, it is known he is working
hard to have the change in the law
put through, realizing, as he must,
that the future of the league over
which he has been presiding for
over twenty years depends on 1t.
Mr.. Farrell is to leave for Louisville
on Sunday to attend the annual meet
ing of the National Baseball Asso-
citation. After that it is possible
something more definite regarding
the leagues plans for 1918 will be
given out.

Academy Eleven Plays
Yeates School Tomorrow
Team Is in Good Shape

Harrisburg Academy eleven will go
to Lancaster tomorrow for the an
nual game with Yeates School team.
The trip to Lancaster is always en-
joyed by the Academy squad and is
made nearly every year to play one
of the numerous schools at Lancaster.
Plans have been made to go to Lam
caster by train Saturday and the team
will leave Saturday morning.
A rally was held after school to-
day and Coach Gavin and Captain
Stone addressed the school and urged
support of the team. Coach Gavin
is very hopeful over the outcome of
the game and is doing everything in
his power to make the contest vic
tory for the Blue and Gold. The squad
has been put through a stiff signal
practice daily and blackboard talk
was given by Coach Gavin yesterday.
Several new plays have been intro
duced and much is expected of them.

Carlisle Indians Lose
Another Star Athlete


Carlisle. Nov. 9.-The Carlisle Ind
dians have lost their thirty-sixt1
athlete to Federal service in the en1
listment in the Navy of Hopson Tup1
per, an effective backfeld man. Hol1
stein. from the third team, will bel
come substitute quarterback. Thi}
evenings work consisted largely OF
fundamentals and dummy signal prac1
tice. The Indians probably will usd
old-style football tactics against thd
Army on Saturday. Fumbling has beer
given much attention during the week
and the officials think there will be
no recurrence of this trouble in the
seasons closing games. Forward
passing after this week will be spe'
cialized on.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-11-09

New York, Nov. 9.-Two games
stand out on the Eastern football
schedule of the morrow as giving
promise of being close, hard-fought
contests. These are the meeting of
Pennsylvania and Dartmouth at Bos-
ton and the Pittsburgh Washington
and Jefferson struggle at Pittsburgh.
In other respects the Saturday list
of gridiron combats is not likely to
be productive of either form or score
upsets.
Judged upon their season records,
Dartmouth and Pennsylvania appear
to be reasonably evenly matched and
the outcome is likely to be a small
margin victory for the eleven which
is the more alert and quicker to take
advantage of the breaks in the play
Last season the teams of these two
colleges played a Z to tie, but this
fact has little bearing upon the result
of to-morrow's contests, as very few
of the men who participated in that
struggle are now wearing moleskins.
The Quakers have played seven
games to date, winning five and be-
ing defeated by Pittsburgh and Geor-
gia Tech. Dartmouth has won all
six games scheduled thus far this
season, the defeats of West Virginia
and Penn-State being the outstand-
ing features.
Pittsburgh Record Best
The record of the University of
Pittsburgh eleven is more impress
sive than that of Washington and
Jefferson, but the latter combination
is one of great strength and has been
especially pointed for this struggle.
1t is certain that the smaller college
team will give the Panthers the hard
est kind of gridiron battle before
they will admit defeat. In their
game of a year ago Pittsburgh won
from Washington and Jefferson by
a score of 81 to 0, but it is doubtful
If the preesnt team will duplicate
these figures.
In the other games of the day in
which the more prominent elevens
of the section are scheduled to par
ticipate the outcome appears to be
more question of scores than vic
tory or defeat. Both the Army and
Navy teams should win from their
respective opponents, Carlisle In
dians and Georgetown. Rutgers ap-
pears to have the edge on the
Springfield Y. NJ. c. A. Training
School eleven. although the latter
combination is exceedingly proficient
in the use of the forward pass in all
it's variations Colgate should win
from st. Bonaventure, but both
Syracuse and Swarthmore will find
Bucknell and Lafayette, respectively,
more difficult to subdue.

Big College Classic Is
Next Saturdays Feature

One week from tomorrow the
Gettysburg -Bucknell game will be
played at Island Park. This is Har-
risburg's annual college football
classic. Many visitors will como to
this city. Special trains will be run
from Lewisburg and Gettysburg.
Both colleges will send many root
ers and each institution will be rep
resented with a band.
Due to the fact that this year spe-
cial attention has been given to mill
tary drills at colleges the parades
promise to be an interesting feature.
]. Dress Pannell. who is in charge
of arrangements here, will have seats
on sale early at the ]. Harry Messer-
smith store in Market streets. The
game will start at 2.30 and there will
be no change of prices over those Of
last year.

with the little attention given

With the little attention given
some high school teams by home
newspapers, it is no wonder the
sport lags in those towns. There is
a champion team located somewhere
in Pennsylvania that has been a
world beater. Outside newspapers
have given twenty lines of publicity
to one in the home paper.
OF course, it would be unfair to
compare all towns with Harrisburg.
This burg" has the pep" when it
comes to taking care of sports.
However, as one of the players on
an outside team put it, I'VE prefer
out-of-t town games because of the
wide publicity we get. We scarcely
know we are playing on a team un-
less the players read it in an out
side newspaper"
According to reports, Coach Ryan
of the Tech High team, has invented
several camouflage formations. He
expects to try them out at Steelton
tomorrow. Speed is the best camou-
flage for any team to work. Getting
into action and pulling off a play
so that the opposing team does not
see 1t, counts everything.
Local hunters are easing up for
the wild turkey season. The open
ing day is Thursday, November IS.
Hunters will have but two weeks.
Present indications are that few wild
turkeys will be killed this season.
Hunters who have been out after
rabbits and other game report very
few turkeys.
Philadelphia is going to have a
real Army-Navy game tomorrow.
The Ambulance Corps meet an elev-
en- representing the Marines. 1t
promises to be some battle. Just
like the regular game, hard luck

Teams Work Hard For
Big Army-Navy Battle

Allentown, Nov. 9.-The final drive
for the big game between the "Usaac"
eleven and the Marines at Franklin
Field tomorrow hit the Ambulance
squad yesterday, for Coach Clarke
ordered his men to assemble for the
first time this season for a morning
practice at the Muhlenberg College
field. The workout was a secret one.
Pike johnson, figured on as one OF
the mainstays of the "Usaac" de-
fense and out of the game on ac-
count of injuries at recent practice,
returned to work with the squad and
he will undoubtedly be in the lineup
against the soldiers of the sea. This
will make the first defense of the
Am, uIance team virtually as strong
as 1t has been all season.
The various new plays which have
toen a feature of the practice dur
ing the last week are being polished
off for the onslaught against Mahan's
men, and football fans may witness
some sensational surprises in the
strategy of the "Usaac" team in the
game.
Two entire battalions left camp
this morning bound for the Quaker
City, where they are to give exhibit
tions during Friday and Saturday and
participate in the military parade
Saturday More than thirty trucks
are accompanying the mixers. all of
the men being in heavy marching
order.
The Marines finished their last hard
football workout yesterday afternoon
at Philadelphia with a burst of speed
which promised much for the success
of the "gyrenes' on Saturday. Never
before have the men shown so much
speed and accuracy in their work.
and Mahan smiled for the first time
since the reversal received at the
hands of Camp Meade officers last
week. The confidence of the Usaacs

result the men performed with ex-

its good work The local squad is in
excellent condition and will start
with the same lineup as trounced the

She was frequently found as owner and man. ager of large factories and estates !; she got her degrees at the universities along with men; she was given posts as teachers of all kinds. including pro- fessorships at mems universities, and she practiced medicine and dentistry. There was a marked tendency to en- courage her entering the legal pr0fes- sion. and the constitutional democrats in the duma wanted to admit her to the duties of jury service.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec.

 Jodh Singh's refusal to testify brot a burst of cheers and a chatter of na- tive hindustani from the Hindu de fendants in the case. It was several minutes before the bailiffs restored order. Judge Van Fleet demanded what the Hindus had shouted.
