Noble Frank Leads
Scholastic League;
Techs Great Work

Final averages of the individual
players in the Central Pennsylvania
Scholastic Basketball League, show
that Noble Frank retains his lead as
individual scorer with ESQ points in
the II games played by Central, and
gives him an average of 1888 per
contest This total is 2 points high
er than Tailed by Captain Nyquist,
of Reading. who is second with 259
points for an average of PISS points
for each game. Captain Huston, of
Tech, is third with 20.20 points per
contest. He took part in 10 games
and tailed 202 points. These three
players were the only tossers in the
league to score 200 or more points.
Great Foul Shooter
Franks ability from the foul mark
gave him the honor. He leads all
others with 1874 free tosses. Miller,
the Lebanon guard, far surpassed all
others from the field, tossing in T3
field goals in II contests an average
of over six per game. 1t was his
magnificent playing that made Leb-
anon the runner-up. Last season
they held the same position.
All of the teams in the league fin
ished their schedule with the eXcep-
ton of York and Allentown. York
refused to go to Allentown'the other
Saturday night, because of the re-
turn trip to York would have to be
made on Sunday. AS a result, when
the league officials meet, the game
will be forfeited to Allentown.

Referee Gives Decision to
Battling Johnny Dundee

New Haven, March 26.- Johnny
Dundee and Willie Jackson fought
fifteen rounds to a draw at the arena
here last night. That is, Dave Fitz-
gerald said it was a draw. Dave
was in a distinct and unpopular mi
nority.
In the opinion of nearly every
body else in the building, Dundee
won by as great a margin as it is
possible for a man to win without
knocking his opponent out. The
Italian had the better of ten rounds.
Jackson scored in three, while two
were about even. Jackson was bad
ly cut up and bled almost continuous
~ from the second round on.
Dundee suffered a cut eye in the
twelfth round and that was all. Dun
dee outboXed the Bronx lad almost
from start to finish, outhit him and
had him worried at frequent times.
Still Fitzgerald said it was a draw,
and Fitzgerald is an honorable man.
Yea, verify, an honorable man.

The best scoring team in the
league would be made up of Frank
as center; Huston at one forward,
with Beck at a guard. Miller, of
Lebanon, would be the other guard,
with Captain Nyquist, of Reading, at
a forward. This com bination would
give Harrisburg three of the five
players.
Tech Strong OH Offensive
Tech deserved to win the pennant
because of their great offensive and
defensive play. In both departments
they lead all of their opponents.
Tech lead the league from the out
start, only once being headed by
York, which occurred February 13.
The following day the Workers lost,
while Tech won at. Allentown, thus
sending Tech again to the front.
Reading-has the honor of running
up the highest score of the season,
while Steelton held Allentown to the
lowest number of points in one
gone.
This is the third season for the
league, and Harrisburg has succeed
ed in capturing the laurels on two
occasions. Central won the first
year. With the Tech team practi-
cally composed of underclassmen,
the Maroon aggregation should re-
peat for several years to come.

Lew Tender Has Easy
Time With Eddie Wallace

Philadelphia, March &c. - Lew
Tender so far outclassed Ed
die Wallace in the wind-up at Olym-
pia last night that after the bout
had gone two rounds it ceased to be
interesting. In the first two rounds
Tender showed that he was the
master of the Brooklyn lad, and
there was never at any time after
that a chance for Wallace to win.
He was merely a punching-gab for
the Philadelphian and, through
holding and running, he managed
to stay the limit. In the fifth and
sixth rounds Wallace made rallies
and landed several stiff punches to
Tenders face and body, but he was
so tired that the blows had little
effect on the local lightweight. In
the first round Tender brought the
blood from Eddie's nose, and he
kept 1t bleeding to the end. In the
fourth round Eddie's mouth began
to swell up and it was badly puffed
in the last round.

NEW GAME FLAWS
IN MANY STATES
Hunting and Fishing Regula-
tions to Be Simplified by
Revision and Codification

An important matter in these days
of complicated game legislation,
when laws are amended at nearly
every Legislative session and scattered
through several volumes of the sta
tutes, is to simplify them as far as
possible by revision or codification,
so as to bring them together, elimi-
nate conflicting provisions and SIM
plify the wording. ....
Important progress in this dlrec-
ton has been made in at least six
states: Maine, Pennsylvania and
Wisconsin have codified their entire
game laws; New Hampshire and
Utah have revised their statues, and
Minnesota has appointed a commits
sion to prepare a. codification of the
game laws,
OF several radical changes made in
administration of the laws. probably
THE most important is the establish
ment of a department of game and
fish in Nevada. In Illinois the game
and fish commission was abolished
and the work placed under the De-
partnent OIL Agriculture, with chief
game and fish warden in direct
charge.
One Commissioner
In. Maine a single commissioner of
inland fisheries and game has been
substituted for the commission of
three members which has been in
charge of the work since 1899. In
Mississippi the law enacted in 1916
creating the Department of Game
and Fish and placing the work in
charge of u commissioner was sub
mitted to the voters under a referen-
dunn petition and rejected at the gen-
raj election. thus leaving the state
without any general officer in charge
of game matters.
In New Jersey the board of fish
and game commissioners has been
increased from four to seven MEM
bers. In Pennsylvania the provision
requiring, game protectors to enforce
the fish and forestry laws, as well
