SHIPYARDS PLAN
FOR BASKETBALL
Chairman of Sport Will
Call Meeting to Decide OH
Circuit Next Week
OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT

The shipyards in the Delaware River
section are prepaSing for busy sea-
son in basketball, and Henry Gallster,
of Chester, chairman of the committee,
will call "a meeting for next week to
arrange plans for the coming season
At a gathering of the Delaware River
Athletic Association he reported that the
only reason he had not proceeded with
the matter prior to this time was due
TO the epidemic influenza.
Interdepartmental basketball at a
number of the yards is in full swing
and the players are seen each monday
and after working hours practicing.
Down at Hog Island Joe Fogarty has
charge and is showing the newcomers a
few inside tips on how TO play the in
door game and is meeting with fine sue
cess. Up at the Merchant plant in Brs-
tol the boys have been deprived of the
use of the gym at the Y. NJ. c. A. owing
to the epidemic, but a. c. Gordeau has
had several places in the town site of
Hartman provided with facilities and
practice is held In the open air.
The American League already has six
teams in it's circuit, but President Bill
Allen is confident of securing the neces-
sary two more in order to make 1t eight.
1t is reported that Hog Island will have
two teams. and that the second five will
be entered in the American League, but
as yet he has heard nothing definite on
the subject. With such clubs as st. Co
lumba. Hancock and j. g. J. Dobson, the
Americans have the makings of a strong
circuit, and the new applicants are not

few years, Warner has collected a new
cluster OF stars to maintain eastern

First and foremost Of the newcomers
is Stein, all-scholastic center at Kisk

state, Stein has lived up TO his school
boy reputation and has even beaten it

Horner Fleet Quarterback

Last season, Dave Pitler handled lot
of the quarterbacking for Warner, but
this year he is being outgeneraled and
outplayed by Horner, marvel from the
freshman eleven, and he is booked for
the second stringers unless he is shifted
to halfback. Horner's a rabbit in the
open field and sure catcher of punts.
Furthermore he has a head on his
shoulders and he uses it for purposes
other than bowling over an opponent.
Hamilton, hefty half from the fresh
man team, and Captain George Nc
Laren. the best line-plunger in college
ranks. are the other members of the
backfield at present. McLaren has taRen

pounds.

Stein Built Like Peck

Bob Pecks are few and far between,
but it's a cinch that this Eiski lad has
something that's going to make football
fame or fate, depending on which team
YOU are backing. Hes built along the
same lines as Peck, according TO re-
ports, not so tall, but wide. With his
five feet ten inches and 75 pounds, Stein
is stocby, speedy and aggressive.
There's still another boy from Kislsi
that Warmers banking on for those
famous Pitt end runs that wrecked
Pennsylvania in the last three seasons.
He is Davies, halfback, and they say
on his end gallops he's las spry as
Roamer. Davies will be the regular left
halfback
These boys first appeared at wash
ington and Jefferson this season and for
some time II was thought that Coach
Hutchinson would have them for his
Red and Blue eleven, but suddenly they
moved to Pittsburgh and entered the
students army training corps.

McCarter Shifted 10 End

Warner is always on the lookout for
fleet ends. and when he noticed
scarcity of speedy wingmen. he shifted
Bob McCarter. who was halfbacl last
year. to left end. The Panther tutor
has few trick plays with the ends
carrying the ball that won't blossom
unless the wings are exceptionally swift,
and that probably accounts for the
change that took McCarter from the
backfied.
No matter how good the Pitt line will
appear this year. it is not likely that IT
will touch the tough combination that
represented the Panthers on the first
line of attack last season. But Warner
has no misfits in his line. They are all
husky and strong. The line. from tackle
to tackle, will average more than 170
pounds.
Other coaches may be easing of in
football preparations. but Warner is on
his way TO what looks like another
championship season.

PHOENIX DOCTOR IS INVENTOR OF 4
 HEARING TESTER
Government Asks Permission to Have Some Made for Use at Training Camps to Pre- vent Deception Practiced

A Phoenix doctor has been honored by the war department in recognition O. his invention of an instrument for the accurate test of hearing by re- Questlng persons to use the instrument m testing recruits at cantOnments.
 After several years of study, Dr. Robert R. Brownfield of Phoenix has per9ected a delicate electrical instru- ment for the accurate testing and measurement of hearing. In a Marcn issue of the Journal of the American Medical association Dr. Brownfield published an interesting article which described his invention and its ability to detect malingering or pretended loss Of hearing.
 Not long after this article appeared in print the surgeon generals office requested that model of the instru- ment be submitted them for examina- tion. This was done, and the doctor yesterday received a letter saying that the instrument filled long felt need for the detection of pretended loss of hearing, and asked his permission to manufacture twenty-four of these in struments for use in cantonments and

at the surgeon generals office as the need is felt for the examination of re- cruits for military service.
 The importance of a machine for deteching pretended loss of hearns in war times Is shown in the following statements quoted from pr. Brown fields article in the medical journal.
 "Aurists have long felt the need of a more accurate test TOT the faculty of hearing The present war with its prodigal use Of high explosives has made the need more keenly felt than ever, and especially as the damage done to the auditory apparatus is often only temporary it becomes imperative to have an accurate test to detect those who falsely claim permanent in jury for the purpose of avoiding fur- ther military duty. The necessity for such a test will be even more press ing at the close of the war, when loss Of hearing may be either pretended or exaggerated in order that a pension may be secured"
