PENN STATES RECORD
IS REMARKABLE ONE

State College, Pa, March 23-with
a record of twelve victories out of
thirteen games played. Penn States
basketball five this season stands out
as one of the best teams that has
ever represented the Blue and White
in the cage game. No State College
basketball quintet has made a better
record in the last ten years. The per-
formance of Capt. Blakeslee's team
Is regarded as remarkable, in view
of the fact that three new men were
in the lineup. Only Blakeslee and
Wilson, center and guard respectively,
were carried over from the previous
season.
State registered two victories over
Pittsburgh. Carnegie Tech, Lehigh
and Juniata. Other teams defeated
were Colgate, West Virginia Univer-
sity, Carlisle Indians and the Usaacs.
The champion Syracuse University
team was the only opponent to take
States measure.

Pittsburgh. March 2S.-Vic Safer,
nrst baseman, finally condescended
to inform the Pittsburgh club, to
which he bc'"rgs under baseball
law. as to his e.. '-- lions. The in
formation was that his ankle is still
bad and that he does not think he
will be able to play ball this year.
president Barney Drefuss of the
Pirates has taken him at his word
and put him on the voluntarily re-
tired list, where he will remain un-
til his ankle improves sufficiently
for him to deliver the goods on the

No Hits on johnson.
The Kansas Cyclone, OF course. was

the two sessions in which he worked

obtaining a safe blow. The nearest
thing to a timely crash came on tine

artiIIerymen-

second ball pitched by the speed
Bemon for a line drive that was Ia
tsrFad two sacks. but ''Fatima" Fos-
Tor pulled the circus stunt of the day
bv humping into the air and pulling
down the horsehide with one hand.
Johnson pitched fourteen balls during
his short stay on the mound and but
one of these went past the inner
works -
safe blows and two runs. Adair gave
the "Sammies" their first chance 10
cheer for the 1OSth when he obtained
the first clean blow in the third in
ming but as one man was down at
the time it went all for naught. James
hit safely in the fourth but he was
retired on a double play.
MolHe's bad inning came in the
fifth when the army's two runs were
tailed. KRISTEN opened the inning
with a double to right field. while
Murray was issued free transporta-
tion. Vankirk hit to Craft who re-
tired Kirstein at the far corner, but
MoTIie made a wild peg to Judge on
Roper's attempt to sacrifice and
Murry dented the dish.
Paget followed with a safe crash
to center and Van Kirk scored.
From this frame on it was easy sail
ing for the Norfolk "StrinSbean,
as only a trio of "Sammies'' reached
the bags, two getting on by the
error route, while Murray obtained
a base on balls in the final inning.
Sergt. Teddy Roper. of Troop b,
pitched seven innings against the
Grfffmen and gave a pretty gooG
account of himself, considering that
he was given poor and ragged sup

crashed his slants for eleven blows.

for Roper in the seventh. when he

TEXT Of GERMAN REPLY TO WILSON,.
TENOR Of ANSWER DENIAL OF CRUEL

Berlin, Oct. 81, Monday.-The
German reply to President Wilson
was handed by the German govern
ment last night to the Swiss lega-
ton in Berlin for transmission to
the United States. The note is as
follows:
I'm accepting the proposal for the
evacuation of occupied territories
the German government started
from the assumption that the pro-
cedure for this evacuation and the
conditions OF the armistice should be
left to the judgment of the military
advisers and that the actual standard
OF power which both sides in the
field have should form the basis OF
arrangements safeguarding and guar
anteeing this standard.
THE German government sug-
gests to the president the opportun-
ity be brought about for fixing the
uetalls or an armlStlce.
"The German government trusts
that the president will approve of
no demand which would be irrecon-
cilable with the honor of the German
people and to the opening OF the way
to a peace of Justice.
"The German government pro-
tests against the reproach of illegal
and inhumane actions made against
the German land and sea forces and
thereby against the German people.
For covering a retreat, destruc-
tions will always be necessary. and,
III so far as necessary, they are per-
mitted by International law. The
German troops are under the strict.
est instructions to spare private pro.
perty and to exercise care for the
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1918-10-22

population to the best of their abil-
ity.
Where transgressions occur in
spite of these instructions, the guilty
are being punished.
The German government further
denies that the German navy in
sinking ships. even purposely des-
troyed lifeboats with passengers.
The German government proposes,
in regard to all these charges, that
the facts be cleared up by neutral
commission.
I'm order to avoid anything that
might hamper the work of peace. the
government has caused orders to be
dispatched to all submarine COM
manders precluding the torpedoing
OF passenger ships, without, how
ever, for technical reasons, being
able to guarantee that these oreers
will reach every single submarine at
sea before It's return.
"a fundamental condition of
peace, the president prescribes the
destruction of every arbitrary power
that can separately. secretly and of
its own single choice disturb the
peace OF the world.
"The German government replies
that hitherto the representatives OF
the people of the German empire
have not been endowed with influ-
ence on the formation OF a govern
ment. The constitution did not pro-
vide for the concurrence of represen-
tatives Of the people in decisions as
to peace and war. These conditions
have just now undergone a funda-
mental change. A new government
