Big Colleges Resume
Activity in Sports;
Baseball Takes Lead

New York, March 12.-Intercolle-
giate and inter-varsity athletic COM
petition among the eastern colleges
and universities is to be resumed this
season upon a scale closely ap-
preaching that of normal times, ac-
cording to the announcement of the
various institutions. From a list
comprising more than sixty of the
leading institutions of the section,
prepared by The Associated Press,
but two were found to have aban-
doned all sport for the next few
months. While the schedules are
not in general as lengthy as in past
years, there will be far more compe-
tition than was the case in 1917, and
a number of sports dropped last
spring will be revived.
This is particularly true of rowing
and track athletics The Intercol-
legiate track and field championship
meet will be restored and although
the Poughkeepsie and New London
four-mile championship regattas will
not be resumed, there will be an un-
usual number of dual and triangular
regattas in addition to the National
Patriotic Regatta, at Annapolis, May
Is, at which it is expected every col
lege of the East which supports row.
ing, will be represented by one or
more crews.
Baseball Shows Gains
Baseball and footuaII also show
sharp gains. Many of the extreme
features of past baseball schedules,
such as extended southern trips and
lists of games running close to thirty
for the season, have been eliminated
but more colleges will be represented
upon the diamond, particularly
among the larger institutions. Foot
ball, which was quite extensively
played last fall. has gained more re-
cruits and if Harvard, Yale and
Princeton decide to revive their
even in curtailed form, the
season of 1918 will not fall much be-
low those of normal years.
Football continues to be the lead
ing sport of the collegians. but base
ball is a close second. with track
third and tennis fourth. Golf, la
crosse and soccer is found upon some
lists, which in the case of a few in
includes as many as six
different branches of sport in which
there will be ollegiate compe-
tition. Rowing holds the place of
honor for every university which
have supported eights in recent
years anu Will nave DOdl CItWS luiS
spring and engage in one or more
races which, however, will not ex-
ceed two miles in length.
The list of colleges, with the
sports which they have adopted to
date is as follows:
Harvard-Baseball. rowing. track.
Yale-Baseball. rowing. track, ten
mis-. Princeton-Basebal rowing,
track, golf. Cornell-Baseball row.

Hot After Local Boy
For Scholastic Lead;
Lebanon Star Active

So close has become the race dur
ing the past week. in the Central
Pennsylvania Interscholastic basket
ball league for individual honors that
the first position may be gained by
either Frank, Nyquist or Huston.
While Noble Frank is still in the
lead, he lost ground to both Nyquist
and Huston, through his few points
scored against Tech and Lebanon,
last week.
Frank leads the procession, as has
been the case all year, with an aver
age of 22.S0 per cent. Captain Ny
quist, of Reading, has an average of
21.11, while Captain Huston, of
Tech, has crept up to third place
with an average of 1868. Gingerich
of York, is said to have left that in
stitution, so that his average for the
remainder of the year, will be sta
tionery at 1857.
While it is unlikely that Frank
will drop the lead after he has held
it all season, vet in his two games at
Chestnut street against Steelton and
Tech. he will have to be active from
the field and foul line to keep in the
front. As both of Central's games
are at Chestnut street, mob" will
likely be heavy scorer in the final
contests.
Lebanon Star Active
Miller, the fleet Lebanon guard
again repeated his performance
against Central by ringing in 10
goals from the field. In the first
he Gagged II from field. Totalling

Fritz Maisel Will Play
With St. Louis This Year

st. Louis, March 12.-Fritz Maisel
will play with the st. Louis Browns
this year, not with the Griffmen or
the Red Sox, both of which clubs
are gazing at him with longing eyes.
That's what Bobby Quinn, business
manager of the Mound City troupe,
has to say.
"Since my stay in the East" says
Quinn, II have been more favorably
impressed than ever with Shocker,
Maisel and Gedeon. 1 had no less
than six offers for Maisel, and at
least half that many for Shocker.
That shows what the other clubs
think of them.
This talk about Maisel being dis
satisfied with st. Louis is all wrong.
Just to prove il is, l will say that |
signed Maisel to a contract within
fifteen minutes after l met him at q
hotel in Baltimore. Fritz has assur-
ed me he is ready to give us his best
services. His explanation for his in
different showing last season is that
he was shifted about so often he
couldn't show his best"
Clark Griffith offered Ray Morgan
and a sum of money. rumored to be
about $4,000, for either Maisel or
Gedeon, but in New York, Quinn
pleaded lack of authority. Now
that he has returned home, he adj
mits that neither player will be al
lowed to get away from the Brown
les.

BLUE RIDGE IS
MAKING READY
Frederick Has Signed Record
Breaking Pitcher; Hagers-
town Is Busy

Hagerstown, Nd, March 12.-With
the decision of the Blue Ridge
League managers to continue the
league this season, the heads of
some of the teams that will most
surely comprise the team. are going
ahead signing players. Col. Russler
of the Cumberland team has secured
the signatures of six players for his
team already.
Frederick, has signed Pitcher
Hook, who smashed last years
league records by pitching an 18-in-
ming game of scoreless ball against
Martinsburg.
HaSerstown to Get Busy
A meeting will be held here this
week to organize for the season. Col.
j. c. Roulette, a wealthy manufac-
turer, who has been president of the
team for several years, may resign in
favor of younger man.
Lawrence Steinbach, of Hanover,
last year with the b. r. League, has
been signed by the Columb buss O.
team of the American Association
for the season. He will report to
Manager Joe Tinker on April 1
Steinhach is a catcher, and was
formerly with the Lancaster, Pa
team and the Newport News team of
the Virginia League several years
ago.

22 goals against Central, and sub
tracing this from his final total of
As, shows that he has made but 2S
goals in his other eight contests
against the other teams of the cir
wards easy to score against. This
remarkable record against Central,
will likely give him the final honors
from the field. as he has lead from
the beginning of the season. Two
more games on the Lebanon court
should help him to add to his total.
George Porr, the new Steelton
find, continues to do good work for
the Blue and White, and has jumped
to sixth place. Bohlen, the Allen
town forward, is also gaining ground
in the pennant chase. The best
scoring team in the league would be
composed of Frank at center; Ny
quist and Huston at forward; with
Beck and Miller at guard. Weston
of Allentown, has scored more points
from guard than has Beck. but most
of his tallies are from fouls.
Reinhard, Rodgers and Weuschin-
ski, at the guard positions, have
been confining most of their work to
the offensive side of play, and as a
result, they have not as yet broken
into the scoring column. Since next
week will see the close of the race.
few changes are expected. although
a slipup on the part of any of the
leaders may cause decided change
in the final results.

SUGGESTS WEST
SHORE LEAGUE
Camp Hill High Principal
Favors Six-Team Circuit
in High Schools

Although the Camp Hill High
school varsity team was compelled
to close its season with four games
on it's schedule yet to be played, the
management is not discouraged and
has started to make plans for the
next season.
In order to arouse more enthu-
siasm and interest in the game on
the West Shore, Prof. Fred Rockey
principal of the Camp Hill High
school suggests a league of West
Shore High school teams. This league
to embrace Enola, Lemoyne. West
Fairview, New Cumberland, Me-
chanicsburg and Camp Hill.
Teams Evenly Matched
: A league of this strength would
find most of the teams evenly match
ed and would enable students to get
acquainted with those of. other
towns. Prof. Rockey is talking to
principals of the schools in other
towns of the move and although
none have voiced their sentiments,
it is likely that they will favor such
a move for the sole purpose of get
ting together"
For three years the Camp Hill
team was the only representative
team on the West Shore. This ag-
gregation was made up of young
boys and naturally was not as strong
as some of the teams they were
forced to meet in order to schedule
games. Consequently the team suf-
fered many defeats although they
showed up we'll against fast teams.
The league as suggested by Prof.
Rockey would be composed of teams
whose members are of about the
same age. This would make the
fnh hn a nc
interesting. Prof. Rockey writes to
the Telegraph sports editor as fol-
lows:
Prof. Rockey Talks
Though the Camp Hill High
school boys basketball team has
closed it's season, the management is
already making plans for next years
sport. Bob Dunkle, who coached the
team this year, has been retained as
coach for next season. Three of this
years squad will be lost by gradua-
tion but Coach Dunkle has a good
squad from which to select his ma
terial.
prof. Fred Rockey, the principal
of the High school, would like to see
a league of West Shore High school
teams next season. There is nc
doubt but that such a venture would
be a success from the start. Enolar
Lemoyne, West Fairview, New Cum
berland, Mechanicsburg and Camp
Hill could make up a six-club cir
cult that would keep things hum
ming from the start. The schools
are nearly the same size and because
of their nearness to each other, the
guarantees would be small. Then
too, there would be keen rivalry be-
tween the different towns and rec
ord-breaking crowds might be ex-
pected. Any West Shore principals
Interested in this venture should
communicate with Prof. Rockey."

The first thing he knows he will
have to fight, and may be obliged to
meet a young man who has a little
more ability than the champion.
Harrisburg will be in evidence this
week in important shooting contests.
On Thursday at Marietta, Friday at
Lancaster and Saturday at Reading.
The one reason why local shooting
events are always a success is be-
cause Harrisburg shots are always
found on the entry list when there
is big event away from home.
One writer puts it, "It is a league
against Allentown" That is true,
but lust now it looks like Allentown
against the league. The comeback
form shown by the tailenders is an
indication that there is likely to be
strong contender from that town
next season.
Talking about leagues" said
fan the other day, whether it be
basketball or baseball, once the lead
ers have a safe percentage, it ceases
to be league. 1t is a conspiracy"
There is a probability that Tech

cially announced along this line, eX-
cept that recently in a Philadelphia
paper, it was said that one of the
Quaker City High school teams was
anxious TO get chance with Tech.
p. l.. Grubb, the athletic director at
Tech, has written letter to the
Philadelphia High school authorities
and awaits a reply. There is rule
in that city, prohibiting any high
school team from competing beyond
a fifty-mile limit. However, rules
are not hard to get rid of If the
intentions are good.

1T is safe bet that he would make
a good leader. He could go in on an
emergency call and play any posi-
ton. Buck is some boy and just
now he is inspecting munitions for
Uncle Sam.
There is a whole lot of valueless
controversy going the rounds about
the local basketball championship
FOR Independent teams. The public
does not care for talk. If any man.
ager believes he has a team that can
clean up all others, let him show
his sincerity by arranging games
at once, on an elimination plan
There are four teams in Harrisburg
that have a right to talk champion
ship, the Independents, Rosewood,
Hassett and Tarsus These teams
have been playing the game all sea-
son, and the Independents have the
right to be dictators. Teams that
have played less than five games
should receive no consideration.
This is an opinion expressed by a
well-known basketball authority last
night.
Within the next seven days. base
ball teams will be on the move to
southern camps. Spring is not a
great way off. In this vicinity ac-
tivity at Steelton is arousing much
interest. The Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration League promises some rare
sport this season. Local amateur
teams will keep up local interest.
