Penn Planning Relay Races
For Franklin Field; Many
Military Events on List

Philadelphia, Jan. 10. - For the first
time in the history of the University
of Pennsylvania relay carnival, mill
tary races will be held when the
twenty-fourth annual classic is staged
at Franklin Field this year on April
26 and 27. The management is plan
ming for relay races between Army
and Navy camp teams and 1t is eN-
pected that a large number of service
quartets will enter the competition.
Despite the war, the tendency is to
Increase rather than decrease the
number of events. and present indica-
tions are that the list of entries will
be larger than last season, it was an
nounced to-day. Assurances have been
received from Cornell, Yale, Harvard,
Princeton, Chicago, Pennsylvania
in the East and Middle West that they
expect to send teams to the meet.
The games, as usual, will extend
over two days, with the sprint ana
distance medleys and the pentathlon
championship of America the chief at
traction on Friday, the opening day.
On Saturday the one, two and four
mile relay championships for colleges,
the freshman one-mile championship,
the hight and preparatory school re-
lay championships and several spec
ial events will be the features. In ad
dition there will be several inter-
sectional champion relay races for
colleges and scores of scholastic and
collegiate class races.

There Is No Lack of Pretty
Girls in the Colleges

Chicago.-Many girls gain a pre-
Judice against going to college by
noting that the graduating girls on
commencement day are rarely beau
tiful. A lovely girl contemplating
what to do next is not excited by
the sight of a row of indifferently
good looking diploma holders. She
is much more excited by q lovely
row of chorus girls. But she is maxi
ing a great mistake in holding this
against the graduating class, for, ac-
cording to the statistics gathered bv
the Journal of Heredity, there is no
lack of pretty girls in the lower
classes of the colleges.
In the past" the magazine says.
women students were a selected
group. but now it is common for any
bright girl to enter college, and the
freshman class is always the pret-
tiest, many leaving to marry before
taking a degree"
In the west marriage among wom-
en- graduates is much commoner
than in the east, from so to 67 per
cent of the western girls marry,
while from 40 to so per cent of the
eastern girls we'd

In one of the fastest interscholas-
tic games in the history of High
school basketball IN Harrisburg,
Central High school last night de-
feated Lebanon High on the Chest
nut Street Auditorium floor by a
score of A to 40. The teams were
evenly matched and gave fine ex-
hlbition of passing, shooting, often
sive and defensive playing.
Miller. of Lebanon, was the sem
sation of the game. This speedy
guard Gagged two two-pointers the
first half and played a good defen-
sive game. The. second half, when
his team was eleven points in the
rear of Central, he played whirl-
wind game and tossed the ball
anon semed to put all their conf
dence in Miller and gave him the
ball every time it was possible to
do so.
Sensational Work
BY his shooting he showed his
teammates that their confidence was
not misplaced. He kept his position
at guard but played as a forward.
His teammates put all their efforts
toward getting the ball and then
getting it to Miller, who would be
found somewhere near the basket.
Miller proved beyond doubt that he
is an excellent shot and a mighty
good player. Light and Captain
Wolfe played fine games for Leb-
anon. Both of these lads were la
ways found near the ball.
All Stars on Central
Every man on the Central team
was a star. Wright and Frank de-
serve special mention for their great
work. Frank scored over half of
Centrals points. He is credited with
five goals from the field and eigh-
teen out of twenty-one fouls. The
Gagged six goals from the field and
was in every play. BY his work last
night Wright should have earned a
regular berth. Wolfe and Fields
played good games at their positions
and were in evidence all the time.
Rodgers was in the game during
part of the second half and was
given the task of stopping Miller.
lie did his part, holding Miller to
one goal during the last five min
utes.
The first half was well played, but
things looked to be going CentraIs
way. They outscored the Lebanon

Liner Texan Was Rammed
by a Conveying Warship

An Atlantic Port, Jan. 19.-The Ha-
waiian-American Line steamship Tex
an, which was in a collision at sea
last Monday. arrived here safely to-
day under her own steam.
She was rammed by a conveying
warship, which punched a large hole
il. her port side.
The Texans watertight bulkheads
saved her from sinking. Several COM
partments were full of water when
the big merchantmen steamed slowly
into port. AS far as could be learned,
the Texan made her return voyage
from the scene of the accident unes-
corted. 1t was said that none of the
crew was injured.
The vessel was taken in charge by
coast guard craft when she entered

Browns to Lose Weilman;
Has Not Fully Recovered

st. Louis, Jan. 19.-Carl Weilman
has very little hope of helping the
Browns in the 1918 pennant race.
The big southpaw says that, while
he weighs 205 pounds, eighteen
pounds more than when he left st.
LOUIS last August, still the wound
caused by the operation has not yet
healed and his weight is no guaran-
tee that he will be able to withstand
the strain of pitching.
Weilman's assertion bears out the
statement of Fielder Jones, made
shortly after the season closed, that
he entertained small hope of Well
man being able to return to the
mound next season, even if he should
fuily recover from the effects of
the operation. 1t is Jones opinion
that Carlos will not be in shape to
stand the strain of pitching for
over a year, if at all.
Weilman holds out some hone.
Its cruel blow to both parties,
for surely Weilman had one of the
most promising futures of any pitch
er in the game. He had no bad
habits, was always in condition and
ready to work. and in 1916 was one
of the most effective southpaws in
the American League.

ENGAGEAUSTRIA'SI
MIGHTIEST HOSTS
Italian Battlefront Longer
Than French, British and
Belgian Fronts Combined

"The Italian battlefront" the first
official war films of the Italian gov
ernment, which will be shown at the
Regent theater, Tuesday and We'd
nesday of next week, were photo
graphed on the firing line under the
direction of the supreme general
staff.
The. fact is clearly borne home,
after witnessing The italian Battle
front" that Italy is staging one of
the most remarkable and inspiring
performances in Europe-one OF
which they have every reason to be
proud.
Italy is holding a front which al
most as long as the French and Bel
gian fronts combined.
In one single battle Italy lost more
men than fell on both sides at Get
tysburg. Among her exploits may be
mentioned the fact that she has
taken 100000 prisoners.
That to oppose the Austrian often
siVe in the Trentino two years ago,
she mobilized new army of half a
million men, completely equipped 1t,
and moved it to the front in seven
days.
That instead of digging her
trenches, she has had to blast most
of them from solid rock
That many of her soldiers are liv-
ing like Arctic explorers in caverns
of ice and snow
And that she has kept engaged
some forty Austrian divisions (abour
100000 men), force sufficient to
have turned the scale in favor of the
Central Powers on some other front.
To sum it all up, one might well
quote the words of e. Alexander
Powell, the famous war correspond
