In the opening show OF the Har-
risburg Boxing Association Friday,
September 26, Jackie Clark of AL
lentown. will meet Len Rowland, of
Milwaukee. 1t will be the windup
feature. The semiwindup will be
between Jack McCarron, of Allen
town, and Young Earring, of Read
ing. There is a whole lot of inter
est in this show and the Clark-Row-
land battle promises good entertain
ment.
Clark has won decisive honors in
seven recent battles abroad. One OF
these seven, the final event, was
won by knockout. The others
were awarded to Clark on the de-
cisions of officials appointed by the
governing board. The knockout was
administered by Clark to Riz Walt
ers in the eighth round of sched-
uled ten-round bout, and was a
clean cut drop, Walters taking the
count.
Clark first defeated Glenn Click
ner and then carried off the Army
Webb into camp. The Allentown
boy then won the second Army title
by defeating Null, of the Seventh
Division. In the finals he first de-
feated La Sale, the bout going ten
rounds, and then scored a victory
over Kid Broad in the same number
of rounds. The fight with Walters
was the last.
While in Paris Clark boxed Mike
O.Dowd, the worlds champion, in
four-round exhibition event,
rounds of two minutes each. O'Dowd
did not enter the tournament to de-
eide the Army championship, he re-
fusing to take part. The fact that
Clark publicly announces that he il
ready to box any legitimate middle
weight in the world. barring none, is
evidence that he did not credit
O'Dowd with being so far above the
ordinary.

LEBANON VALLEY
COLLEGE PLANS
Will Play All Games on Field
at Home of Coach
Strickler

Annville, Pa, Sept. 2o.-Lebanon
will be the scene of all Lebanon Valley
Colleges football games this season.
This was announced by Paul L. Strick-
Ter. the newly-elected athletic instruct
or and coach. whose nome is in Leba-
non, and who is here. Coach Strickler
has negotiated eight games, beginning
with Villanova at Lebanon on October
and climaxing with what is expected
T. be the stiffest fight of the whole sea-
son. the game with Albright College on
Thanksgiving Day.
The eight games arranged for do not
complete the schedule for the season,
there being one vacant date, October
rs.
OF the eight games scheduled, three
are home games and will be staged at
Lebanon. The present schedule con-
tains the following games:
October 4. Villanova at Lebanon Oc-
tcber IL. Muhlenberg at Allentown; Oc-
tcber 1S, Susquehanna University at
Lebanon; October rs, vacant; Novem-
ber l, Johns Hopkins University at
Baltimore; November s, Mt. st. Marys
7 at Emmittsburg, Md; November Is,
West Virginia Wesleyan at Buckhan-
non, W. Va; November 20. Delaware
| at Newark: November 27, Albright at
Lebanon.
Expect Big Squad
With seven of last years men out
for practice, successful season is
expected under the new coach. The
first practice of the season took place
! on Tuesday. but, owing to the fact
that the college registration was not
then complete, the number of candi-
| dates for the team was small. How
ever, when the second tryout was had
on Wednesday, after the college term
had been formally opened, there were
plenty of new men from whom to select
the four men needed to fill out the
Varsity eleven.
Coach Strickler is prepared to put
the rockies, as well as the veterans
through some rough scrtmmage and
plays to make ready for the first game
of the season two weeks hence. Only
recently Coach Strickler arrived home
! from France, where he served for fif-
teen months as a first lieutenant in the
army. He was graduated from Leba-
non Valley College in 1914 and during
his college days was one of the in
stitution's star athletes, figuring par
ticularly prominently in football and
basketball. He has named as captain
of this years eleven Harvey Fishburn
of Ephrata, Lancaster county, a star
| of last years team.

TURN OUT STRONG
FOR FOOTBALL TRAINING;
HEA ON SQUAD

Football fever has attacked the
boys of the Edison community. When
the call was issued for candidates
over one hundred and thirty re-
sponded. Coach Miller finds that he
has twenty-one candidates for CEN
ter, twenty-four for guard, twenty
three for tackle, twenty-eigh for
end, fifteen for the backfield, while
ten boys are willing to play any
position they can get on the team
and ten more will play any line po-
Sition they can get.
Some of the boys from the seventh
year are light but they wish to do
every thing they can to build up a
strong team and incidentally to de-
velop themselves for future seasons.
They also hope that they may get
into some games with teams that are
their weight. There is no doubt but
that there will be several different
teams but the coach told the boys
that there will be no first team but
squad. Every fellow understands
that he will be given a chance to
show what he can do.
Some Hcavyweights
There are also some heavyweights
trying for positions. Four candi-
dates for center that weigh more
than one hundred and twenty
pounds each. These boys are Joseph
Gimper, Albert Bihl. Frank Shirk
and William Challenger. Among
those who are trying tc make good
at guard are eight who weigh more
than one hundred and thirty are:
Edward Blumenstine, Frank Les
cure, Theodore Starry, F. Meyer,
Kenneth Cassell, Charles Garverich,
and Ross Lyon. There are also eight
aspirants for the position of tackle
that weigh one hundred and thirty
or over. They are: Karl Barth, AL
bert Shuller, John Knox, Marlin
Bender, Evans Geary, Luther Shoop,
Thomas Jones, and Casmer Samson.

Rote Starts Work With
Lehigh Football Squad

Bethlehem, Pa. Sept 20.-Dum-
mics and the bucking strap were
brought into play during Lehigh's
football practice to-day and it is
quite likely that light scrimmage
work will be indulged in tomorrow.
Bosey Reter returned to-day from
his vacation and is assisting Coach
Tom Ready in conditioning the men.
Among the old varsity men who ar
rived to-day were Joe Spagna, the
giant tackle, and Buss Harrington,
the nimble quarterback. Lewan-
dowski, of Willistown Prep is a new
man and his punting at once caught
the eye of the coaches. Harry Rote,
the Harrisburg High Gettysburg and
Camp Hancock star quarterback on
who much is depended was out to-
day for the first time.

To Revive Motorcycle Sport
First Race at Speedway

After a lapse of more than two
years. motor cycle racing is to be re-
rived in the East At a meeting in
New York last night the Eastern Mo-
torcycle Racing Association decided to
hold a speed carnival at the Sleeps
head Bay Speedway next month. A
definite date will be set and a pro-
CRANE arranged in day or two.
Before the war motor cycle racing
1hrived on all the speed course in this
country. All the champions and title
aspirants went into the service and
did their part as dispatch riders and
as mechanics. With FEW exceptions
those who sleep in France these
champions will be on hand for the
speed orGie next month.

have simply asked to be tried on the
line weigh more than one thirty.
Truman Thompson, Clyde Rosen-
berger, William Heagy, Ralph Har-
riSon, Penrose Johnson and Samuel
McLinn are the boys that are trying
tor end who weigh more than one
hundred and twenty pounds. Gill
bert Morrissey, Theodore Johnson.
Jerome Kelly, George Snyder, David
Barringer, Charles Diggs, Edward
Lentz, Charles Schaeffer and Carl
Andersen, all candidates for the
backfield positions weighs one hun
dred and thirty or more A number
of these boys show good form in
their boot work and can be relied
upon to get the pigskin out of the
danger zone should a kick be nec-'
eSSary.
Boys With Pep
The heavyweights will not have
every thing their own way for there
are large number OF boys who
weigh around the hundred mark
who are fast and full of pep. These
boys handle the ball clean and sure
and will make II mighty interesting
for the bigger fellows. If these boys
show the same ability in real prac-
tice that they have been exhibiting
in informal practice some of these
middleweights are sure to be found
in every game of the Edison school.
Coach Miller will not have the
boys do any vigorous work until the
togs come. 1t is hoped by the man
agement that they can have at least
two teams outfitted by the end of
next week. In the meantime the
boys will practice punts and passing
each evening at seventeenth and
Chestnut streets after they have been
given blackboard work in one of the
rooms of the building. With this
preliminary work done the boys
should get down to real work as soon
az the suits arrive.

Many Stars Back From War;
TarSuS Starts With
Mercersburg

There are evidences that the COM
ing football season which opens one
week from to-day will witness a re-
markable development and growth of
American football, not only all over
America, but under the patronage of
many classes of institutions which
nave hitherto not taken an interest in
this most strenuous of sports.
The disbanded Army will furnish a
nucleus for the make up of teams in
every section of the country, because
of the reinarka BILE beneficial effect
football was recognized as having on
the morale and fghting ability of the
American Army and because Uncle
Sans soldiers who had thought of
football only as a college and school
game have come to a realization that
the American game is not only well
adapted to the physical development
of the individual. but affords all of
the exciting factors seemingly SO nee
essary to the enjoyment of theAmer-
| lean people.

before leaving this morning for Mer-
! GERS burg, the Tarsus School of Gym

the edge on the series and will make
a desperate attempt to clinch the
title this afternoon. Manager House
holder and his West End contingent
promise to contest every inch OF
ground.
Expect Big Crowd
This afternoons attendance at the
fray between the two teams, promises
to draw larger crowd than any of
the three preceding games. On the
last two occasions, bleachers, grand
stand and sidelines were packed, but
even more people are expected to-
day. Marysville will send an es-
pecially large delegation of fans, and
will bring along a jazz band.
Edward Stricken, West Ends star
31urler, and Harry Biever, Marys-
ville's veteran star, will be seen on
the mound for the fifth successive
game. Biever has an edge on his
youthful opponent with a record of
two games won and one lost as
compared TO StrlcKerS one won ana
two lost. One game ended in a score
less tie after eleven innings of play.
Start With Regulars
West Ends lineup at the start of to-
days fray promises to be the same
as it was at the conclusion of Thurs
day evenings battle. Embick, who
has recovered from his illness, will
cover right field in place of Harry
Wagner, Newport Dauphine- Perry
and Engineers and Firemen star.
Challenger will likely be seen IN
action in left in place of McKeever.
Ben Kline will be behind the bat to
receive Stricken.
