ALL CENTRAL ATHLETES
MAY JOIN In STRIKE
Elimination Of Varsity Basketball Players Causes Much
Dissatisfaction; May Affect Basketball and Track
Teams; Will Use Scrubs" if Necessary Says Pro-
fessor Saul

Rumors of a general strike among
Central High athlets were afloat to-
day. Trouble started last night when
Gregory and Fields were barred from
the lineup in the game against Har-
risburg Academy. High school Off
cfals said these players were not up in
their studies. Central tossers who held
out claim the eligibility rules do not
cover last nights contest.
One report in scholastic circles to-
day was that unless some agreement
was reached and Gregory and Fields
permitted to play the varsity players
would not compete in future scholastic
league contests. There being no school
session on Saturday origin of the re-
ports could not be traced They reach
ed the ears of the officials who expect
to get busy Monday and assert author
ity. Athletic Director Bertram Saul
said to-day:
Rules Are Plain
Rules require that all students must
maintain passing marks in each of
three or more studies, and require fff-
teen hours at studies each week. An
other rule affecting eligibility covers
all contests, whether in Pennsylvania
or any other state where a member of
the Pennsylvania Scholastic Associa-
tion is interested.
There will be no strike. Those play
and will not get back until they make
up their deficiencies in studies. If
other players will not play on the var

Penn to Meet Yale in
Hardest Game on Schedule

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania basketball team
Will meet the Yale University quintet
tonight IN what is certain to be one
of the most interesting games from
the viewpoint of coilegian adherents,
due to the standing of the two teams
in the intercollegiate Basketball
League race. Yale leads the league
with total number of four victories
and has lost one contest. Pennsylva-
mia has lost two games and won three
of her battles.
III Coach Lon Jourdets lads come
through with a win tonight and de-
feat the New Haven team then Penn
sylVania will be tie with Yale for sec
ond place, as Princeton has won four
games and has only lost one, thus be-
ing tie with Yale until after to-night's
game. That Pennsylvania should lose
to the Bulldog on the Iatter's floor la st
Monday night came as a surprise to the
Red and Blue colleglans as it was ex-
pected that Captain McNichol and his
teammates would defeat the Ellis.

TRIAL HIGH ATHLETES S0RGREEKS WIN ANNUAL ACADEMY INDOOR MEET
.WEE[YS :doRNER

Central was anxious to meet Academy
with a regular team because of the
rivalry for local basketball champion
ship. One thing spectators cannot un.
derstand is why officials wait until
time to start a game to give orders
eliminating players.
President Edward G. Barrow, of the
International League, conducted
harmonious session yesterday. No ef-
fort was made to stir UP trouble by
taking action on the Fraternity strike.
That question is up to the ruling of
the National Association of Profes-
sional Baseball Clubs, an organization
that handles all minor league ques-
tions.
Princeton athletic officials announc-
ed yesterday that the two sport rule"
had been abolished. A new ruling has
been substituted which allows stu
dent TO participate in any number of
sports during any two seasons on the
college year. The varsity polo team
has already been strengthened because
of this ruling.

Some Things Worse Than
War, Says Taft in Speech

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. II. Advo-
eating at least one year of military
training for all males between the ages
of 19 and "a years and asserting that if
a league to enforce peace is formed at
the close of the European war, America
should join it, former President Taft
addressed the Legislature yesterday.
The question: said Mr.. Taft, "of
standing by our country. whether right
or wrong, has given many people some
concern, but there can be no such ques-
tion here. America is right. Our rights
as neutrals have been violated. War is
a horrible thing, but there are worse
things than war.
You can't recruit an army at SIS a
month. There is only way-universaI
compulsory military training. The gem
eral staff of the army has fixed one
year for youths between the ages of 10
and "a as the least length of time that
will give them the necessary prepara-
ton. This year will make them better
men and will bring to them some sense
of obligation to their Government"

THE WAY OF A NATION


We built our teams to meet the test
To know the winners role,
Where team play and preparedness
Are entered on the scroll;
We send our ball clubs south each spring,
We drill our halfbacks hard,
To launch a sprint around some end
Or hammer out a yard;
But when the nations due to train
To show it's skill or spunk,
We mix yawn up with a Irown
And softly murmur, Bunk"
No nation in the swing of time
That ever lived before,
Has trained. we have, all its teams
To nail the winning score;
No nation, in the ages span,
BY south north or west,
Has had its teams as well prepared
TO face the coming test;
But when it comes to greater things
Amid the growing rush,
We mix frown up with a yawn
And gently murmur, "Tush."
