Golf Clubs Responded
Generously to Request
From Training Camps

Washington, Nov. 29.-Golfers
throughout the country have re-
sponded nobly to the appeal of the
United States Golf Association for
donations of clubs, balls and bags for
the use of soldiers in the various
cantonments. According to officials
of the War Department Commission
on Training Camp Acitities. who
have charge of the distribution of
golf paraphernalia to the. soldiers,
approximately three thousand golf
clubs, with corresponding as
sortment of balls and bags, have
been received to date.
Devotees of the game in Cleve-
land, Ohio, have been particularly
/ generous in their responses to the
| Golf Associations appeal. II. II.
Bandy, secretary of the Cleveland
District Golf Association. told the
training camp comm ission that more
| than one thousand clubs and other
material have been donated by gol-
fers of the Ohio CITY, Ohio BIS fur
contribution. A communication from
G. r. Pulford, of Toledo, states that
approximately five hundred clubs,
balls and bags were ready for ship
ment from that city.
The sticks are arranged by the
country clubs in sets consisting of a
driver, brassie, mid-iron and pufter
and forwarded with a dozen balls to
camps as directed by the training
camp commission.
That the mashie is the most pop
ular golf club is the opinion of DR..
w. S. Harden, of Washington, who
is Vice-president of the United
States Golf Association. Drivers,
brasSieS. mid-irons and outters have
been sent to camps with great gem
erosity but mashies have not been
forthcoming.
DR.. Harden, who originated this
plan of giving the enlisted man an
opportunity to practice swings at odd
moments wherever there happens to
be stretch of convenient country,
says that this settles the question
which has been argued so often at
the nineteenth hole exclusively.
Hereafter it will be assumed that to
the majority of golf enthusiasts, the
mashie is the hardest club to part
with.

RaycrOft Says Peace VIII
Not Interfere With Sports

Washington, Nov. 29.-Inten-
sive training along athletic lines
to foster the fighting spirit among
the soldiers encamped in this
country will be replaced by re-
creational sports. according to DR..
Joseph e. Rayeroft, head of the
Athletic Division of the War De-
)artment Commission on Train
ing Camp Activities
In a telegram sent to each of
the Training Camp Commissions
athletic directors in the various
cantonments, Dr.. Raycroft an
nounced the change of policy. He
believes that lessening of the mill
itary tension caused by the sign
ing of the armistice with Ger
many, and the mastering out in
the near future of thousands of
soldiers in American camps. call
for less emphasis on the training
value of athletics in the army and
an increased emphasis upon their
contribution of the development
and maintenance of morale.
Thor" Is a natural lack of stim-
ulus for the individual soldier to
keep himself physically fit for
combat. He knows that he has
no chance to get into the fight
ing. and realizes that it is only
a matter of weeks or months be-
fore. he is finally mustered out
of the service to return to civil
ian life.
This is a dangerous stage, ac-
cording to experts on the physical
training of soldiers.
Under present conditions the
emphasis in the athletic work
should be upon the effort to in
crease the amount of competitive
work along all lines within the
camp, and outside the camp. The
morale of the men. 1t was de-
clared, must be maintained. and
nothing can dispel the "glooms''
during the period of waiting bet
ter than healthy athletic games.

TECH VICTORIOUS
OVER STEELTOlV
Turkey Day Battle Saw Three
Thousand Brave the Rain
and Stick to the End

A cold driving rain saluted near
ly three thousand enthusiastic Har-
risburgers yesterday when time
came for the annual Turkey Day
football battle between Tech and
Steelton High. but like George
Cockill's warriors, they were game
and few left before the curtain rang
down with Tech scoring 81 points to
Steelton's nothing. All prophecies
concerning the bravery and endur-
ance of Steelton were verified, for
Tech discovered very shortly that
she must exert herself to break up
Cockill's flying wedge.
Doggedly, persistently, the Steel
ton lads, outclassed, to be sure, went
at the job, led by the doughty cap
tain, Bill Wueschinski, and Manager
Shorty Sharosky, who did their
part in holding back the mighty foe.
But Tech being superior to any foot
ball club seen here this year, it was
no great task for her to buck up and
keep the ball on Steelton's territory
practically all through the four quar-
ters.
Working together like so many
units of machinery the gigantic Beck
and the indominatable Tony Wills
bach, who would rather play foot
ball than eat turkey, tore through
with their usual precision, while the
Tech ends, regardless of bad turf,
scooted down on the foe, choking
off the effort. From Captain Elmer,
on down, the Tech machinery work
ed with it's accustomed efficiency, but
when victory was assured the team
finished with many a substitute.

as the large number Of commercial

r. j.. Chamberlain, truck sales manager
Of the Packard Motor Car Company.
Trucks, during this transportation
crisis, have ably proved themselves fast
and efficient long distance carriers.
Certain cross-country hauls have
been permanently taken over by motor
trucks. These include shorter hauls of
all kinds, and long hauls OF express,
parcel post and other shipments where
speed is essential. The carrying OF
these loads by trucks will increas Sc
greatly with the extension OF better
roads.
MANY states are preparing now for

truck hauling in the months % come.
For example, Michigan's war board has
assured a conference of highway Of
ficials that it will devote its 5000 600
war fund toward keeping the main
highways open to motor truck travel.
THAT other cities and states will do
likewise appears highly probable. for it
has been generally recognized that the
motor truck seems to be the agent OF
relief from present traffic conditions. -
