bob" DUNKLE
DENIES CHARGES
Explains Why Game Was
Cancelled With Big Five
Team of Camp Hill

Coach bob" Dunitle in letter
to the Sporting Editor of the Har-
risburg Telegraph gives reasons why
the game between the Camp Hill
varsity team and Camp Hill Five
was Cancelled, The coach claims
that the school management us we'll
as the players were accused unjust
ly by some OF tho Big Five players.
The letter follows:
I'm answer to the untrue tale
which was published in q morning
paper Thursday morning, we feel
that perhaps little explanation
would help straighten out matters
with our interested friends.
Does the public realize first of all
the tremendous task ahead OF the
Camp Hill High School Association
and coach, The school has just five
or six boys who are large and old
enough to play varsity basketball,
while we do not have that many
with which to make a scrub team.
Can you imagine trying to make two
basketball teams out of between
nine and twelve men? And yet we
did It, We have given the fans at
home some good games, and always
fair. Furthermore we've been thrown
out of practice at least four or five
weeks through want of coal, not
having enough to play our scheduled
games in warm room. Consequent
ly, we Cancelled.
Now we come along near the
end of our season with all our big
games at home, were feeling pretty
confident when Old Man Sickness
comes along and gets into our
ranks, Our center had been sick
for the last three weeks, and our
star forward is home now with an
injured hip, not to say anything Of
our guard who nearly had blood
poisoning in an injured arm.
Are Not Complaining
Now, dear sporting friends, we're
not complaining. We merely wish
to explain to you our condition and
reason for canceling with the Big
Five of Camp Hill. The Big Five
is made up mostly of college men,
whom it would have been hard
enough to beat with our team in
prime condition, and you can i'm
agine the result with our team load
ed with scrubs. Anyway, the game
is not a regular scheduled game,
but one that was arranged by the
Big Five through the kindness of
the coach after a long argument.
Where is the coach who won't try
to take care of the condition of the
team, and where is the coach who
when he feels that a game is un-
equal that won't use his influence to
have the game annulled.
Does the writer of the article in
question realize that the people of
Camp Hill know he has been roast
ing his own town team off and on
all season.
Don't he realize that they know
he published untruths in his write
up of Thursday morning. At that
time, according to the Big Five
statement, they have not had prac-
tice together all season. They do
not have any games arranged and
do not have a coach. To us it looks
as though friend reporter was a poor
sport, and was assuming an awfully
lot, when he said we were afraid
of being beaten. We leave you be

likely that they will be ousted from
their places this week. so that when
the two aggregations meet Friday
night, March 8, they will have local
honors to decide In addition to first
place in tho league. The largest
crowd in the history of the indoor
game is expected at the contests.
The reason for the standing of the
two local teams is evident from a
perusal of the scoring records, Cen
trail has scored more points per game
and Tech has had fewer scored
against it than any of the other
teams. Likely it is that Captain
Huston, of Tech, Captain Frank, of
Central, will also have merry race
for individual honors.

The Academy five brought back

was never in doubt after the start

opponents to three field goals. The

Wren, the captain of the Blue and

at forward and Miller jumped center,
Wescott taking his place at guard.
