YALE TO RESUME
SPORT SERIES
Plan Baseball Schedule In
Guiding Easter Trip; Good
Material Ready

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 25.-It
was definitely decided yesterday that
Yale would re-enter the field of in
tercollegiate sports this spring. The
advisory committee on athletics, of
which Prof. Robert N. Corwin is
chairman, has altered it's previous
attitude on competition in sports with
other colleges and now looks with
favor on a regular schedule of gam es
with the Blues former opponents.
Many conferences have been held
between the advisory committee and
the student council of the college the
last few days relative to the advisa-
bility of attempting to resume nor
NAL competition in varsity baseball
crew and track.
Baseballs position was made clear
when Manager Charles J. Stewart, OF
Dallas, Tex, was instructed yester-
day to arrange a schedule of games
as in past years. Even an eastern trip
is to be taken by the team.
Series Plans Soon
The question of a Harvard series
will be settled soon and in all prob
ability will be surety if the Grim
son authorities Sc the way clear tc
A survey of material for a team
throughout the university discloses
the fact that there is not a man left
who has won the coverted "Y' fol
baseball.
Though the prospects for stan
dard Yale team are none too bright
fairly strong nine can be gathered
one that will give battle to the bes
college aggregations which enter the
field this spring.
James Carter, the old Blue pitch
er, is mentioned as probable coach
His appointment to the position i:
expected in few days. Walter Mace
has already been secured as trainer
All of the candidates will be called
out for practice directly after the
mid-year examinations. The batter!
aspirants are to practice each after
noon, while the infield and outfielC
men will report in the cage onl!
three times a week for the frs
month.
The appointment of Captain Reg
inald Field, '16, to the command o
the reserve officers training corp
at the university had much to d'
with the change of attitude, as he il

ARMY WILL LOSE
FAMOUS ATHLETE
Elmer Oliphant to Graduate;
Will Take Up War Duties
at Once

New York, Jan. 25.-When the
senior cadets at West Point grad
uate next August, ten months ahead
of time, one of the greatest all
around college athletes in the coun-
try will fade out of collegiate sports
for the stern business of war.
Elmer Oliphant will never again
defend the honor of the Army on the
gridiron, for his early graduation
will rob him of one more year of
football, and, like all his brother
cadets, who will graduate this year,
he will become a commissioned Off
GER in the Army.
There are great athletes in every
age, but few have ever been uhcov-
red who have had the all-around
ability in various branches of sports
that Oliphant has.
First of all, he is ranked as the
greatest football player in the coun-
try. He can do everything de-
manded of a football player and dc
it we'll, and he had no trouble earn
ing All-American honors.
Starred in Every Sport
In baseball, basketball, track and
hockey Oliphant has starred at West
Point ever since he became a cadet
and he is one of the few Army ath-
letes who has ever won honors in sc
many sports. For the last three
years he has been a "four-lettel
man."
Oliphant developed his athletic
prowess at Purdue University. From
the very first he was the foremos'
athlete at the Lafayette institution
and in years when Purdue would
have been unheard of for anything
accomplished by athletic teams, she
was put on the map by Oliphant
who was always good for two oi
three sensational athletic feats dur
ing the school years.
There is only onen"Ollie." There
may never be another like him, anc
followers of college sports regre
that he must step down and out oi
the college limelight.

Future Is Black For
New York State League
BY Associated Press

Syracuse, N. Y, Jan. 25.-Presi-
dent John II. Farrell and the club
owners of the New York State Base
ball League met in Syracuse last
night and debated the future of
State League baseball.
Before the meeting President Far
rell declined to admit that the cir
cult would not start play this year.
Several of the owners were less opti-
mistic. The meeting was behind
closed doors.
After several hours discussion, the
meeting was adjourned until March
1. President Farrell announced that
the unanimous opinion of the own
ers was to defer action until that
date, hoping that in the interim the
affairs of the league would clear
sufficiently to warrant permanent
steps being taken.

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am nineteen and have been go
ing about with a man twenty-nine,
whom l dearly love, and 1 know my
love is reciprocated. I have just
learned through a friend that he is
married, although he denies it. He
is going on business trip and wants
me to marry him and go with him.
Will you kindly advise me what l
am to do?
NJ. B. S. II.
For purposes of friendship you
must give this man the benefit of
the doubt. and not believe this story
of him until it is proved true. But
in order to protect yourself, your
good name, your whole future, you
must give yourself the benefit of the
doubt, and must not marry this man
until it is proved conclusively that
he has not a wife already. He never
urged a hasty marriage before, did
he? His sudden haste, now that he
knows you have been told he is mar
ried, makes me a little suspicious.
Do not marry him until you have
thoroughly investigated the rumor.
A blunder now may wreck your
whole life.

ACADEMY TRACK MEET
PLANS ARE UNDER WAY;
IMPORTANT ANNUAL EVENT

The sixth annual track meet of
the Harrisburg Academy is being
planned for February Is. The meet
will be run off at Chestnut Street
Auditorium, probably in the after
noon. This event has always been
one of the features of the winter
activity at the Academy and it is eX-
pected to be a success this year.
= Entries have already been open
ed for the various events and a large
number of competitors will be re-
ported. AS in previous years, the
competitors will be divided into
groups, according to their class in
school work.
Several exhibition events as tum-
bling and parallel bar work will
also be introduced. This has been
put in charge of Coach Platt and he
has now quite a number of boys in
training for this event. Last year
this feature was presented for the
first time and aroused much favor
able comment.
The track meet is intended to de-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-01-25

eide the superiority of the school
clubs, the Greeks and Romans. This
meet will count six points on the
Vance c. Mccormick cup awarded
each year to the victorious club. Last
year the Greeks were victorious,
though the Romans put up plenty
of opposition. Quite a few medals
are awarded to the individual win
ners, including several of gold. To
the man winning the greatest num-
ber' points is also given a gold
medal. This was taken last year
by Edward Lapp, who has now grad
uated.
Academy Meets Central
On the evening of the same day,
February Is, Central High will have
an encounter with the Academy in a
basketball game. This is the only
game between the two schools this
year and so considerable interest is
expected. The Academy quintet is
now rounding into fine form and
hopes to give a good account of it
self.

the scene of two stirring contests
this evening when the Technical

won three out of its first four starts,
dropping their sole contest to Leba-
non Wednesday night by a two-point
margin.
The Tech team will be without the
services of Captain Elmer. 1t is
likely that Red" Huston will break
into the game with the locals, as he
is member of the Hassett team,
and will be at home on that floor
more than the other members of
the squad.
How They Line Up
The preliminary contest will be
between the Freshmen and Sophs in
an interclass affair. The teams are
evenly matched and a close game
should result. Dancing will feature
ut the close of the games. The first
tilt will begin at s o'clock. The
teams will line up as follows:
