Harrisburg Academy to Play
Final Grid Game Saturday;
Team Is in Excellent Form

Harrisburg Academy will line up
Saturday in theirs final game. The
local eleven is scheduled to play
York High on Academy field. To
win this game will mean silver
football for each player.
The past two weeks have shown a
marked improvement in the work of
the Academy team. Coach Schlich-
ter has been devoting his attention
to the perfecting of interference and
the result OF the work was shown in
the scrimmage with Camp Curtin
when the Academy backs made gain
after gain through their opponents
line.
On Tuesday the Greeks and the
Romans, rival school fraternities,
will battle on the Academy field.
Both teams are out to win, and as
there is bitter rivalry between the
two a fast game is expected. The
Greeks have the entire varsity line
on their squad with the exception
of White, tackle, while the Romans
have the varsity backfleld with the
exception of Menger. Menger is
captain of the Greek team while
England is the leader of the Ro-
mans. The latter will not play on
Tuesday, owing to an injury he re-
ceived in the Alumni game.

The scrub game at Palmyra last
Saturday showed that Rosenberger

Coach Miller has been developing a

no election was held, but George Sny-

temporary captain by the coach. Sny-
der has proved himself both a popu-
lar and an efficient leader, and h-s
won the respect of his team mates
by his fair and consistent playing.
Last evening, just before the men
were sent to the showers, they unani-
nously elected Snyder as captain of
the 191 9tI1dison team.

Franklin Field Is Too

Philadelphia, Nov. 20.-The de-
mand for seats to the Pennsylvania
Cornell football game has exceeded
the request for seats to the Penn

people for the big games, and the

of new playing fields and the biggest
stadium in the wofld.

WHO IS WHO IN
FOOTBALL GAME
Ray Mccarthy Picks All Star
Team in New York
Tribune

In yesterdays New York Tribune,
Ray Mccarthy, one of the best foot
ball writer's in the United States,
hands out something interesting
on grid stars. Here is some of his
sayings:
This has been hectic season for
the football experts generally, land
the waning of the year finds most of
them groggy and sparring for
breath. However, this is no time
to waver, and entering the final
round, we are going to take another
guess at the risk of a complete
knock out. 1t is our humb BILE opinion
that Harvard will beat Yale"
Nominations for the mythical all
American team are beginning to
come in. Just to keep the pot boil
ing and the babble at top speed we
suggest the following for considera-
ton:
Ends-Higgins, Penn State;
Heinie Miller, Penn; Brown, SYRIA
cuse; Kirk, Notre Dame; Blaik,
Army. Tackles-Henry w. and j.;
West, Colgate; Spagna, Lehigh: Lit
tie, Penn. Guards, Youngstrom,
Dartmouth; Smith. Notre Dame;
Vogel, Army. Centers-EE Robert
son, Syracuse: Callahan, Yale;
Heaphy, Boston. Quarterbacks-
Strubing. Princeton; Harrington, Le-
high: Boynton. Williams. Halfbacks
Davies, Pittsburgh; Weldon. La
fayette; Way, Penn State: Casey,
Harvard. Fullbacks-Rodgers, West
Virginia.; Light, Penn; Gillo, Col
gate; Hastings, Pittsburgh; j. Rob-
ertson, Dartmouth"
"Of this lot Bob Higgins, captain
of Penn State, probably stands out
alone. He is one of the few who
appear to have chance to be
chosen unanimously by the experts.
although II. Miller will probably get
big vote also. The others are so
well matched that no matter who
are nominated plenty of wrangles
are sure to arise"
"Who is the best kicker of the
year? asks a football fan. Depends
on whether he means a punter,
drop kicker or place kicker-or one
who doesn't do much playing, but
considerable growing. Scheerer, of
Princeton, appears to be as good as
any punter around these parts.
There is no better punter for placing
kicks than Hastings, of Pittsburgh.
He is also one of the best place kick
ers. Robertson, of Dartmouth:
Murphy, of Yale; Fitzpatrick, of
Boston; Bell, of Penn, and Braden,
of Yale, are all good -kickers.
But no one stands out in this respect
this season as did Brickley when he
played with Harvard, or like Ecker
sail when he performed for Chi

NAVY APPRENTICES TO PLAY TECH HIGH SATRDAY-COATESyLE FIVE COMM
MARYSVILLE HIGH STAR IS
MAKING GOOD AT PENN STATE
TO PLAY AGAINST PITT

With four men of Harrisburg and
vicinity on the Penn State Varsity
football squad, fans of this section
are awaiting with much interest the
Thanksgiving Day game between
Penn State Pittsburgh, the winner
of which must be reckoned for the
seasons honors. These men are
Dick Rauch, Clarence Beck and
Glenn Killinger, of Harrisburg, and
Joe Lightner, of Marysville. The
three Harrisburgers are compare
lively well known, but Lightner is
stepping in the limelight for the first
, time this season.
Lightner, husky lad of but 10
years, tips the scales at 1872 pounds.
A sophomore at the Center county
institution, he has been in every
minute of the past two games with
Lehigh and Cornell at half-back,
and is expected to break into the
Pitt game on Thanksgiving Day.
A member of the Marysville base
ball team of the Dauphin- Perry
League, Lightner was six weeks late
in reproting for football practice.
So, with % letter men back, Light
ner was not given a chance in a
varsity game by Coach Bezdek until
the Ursinus game on October 20. He
made the trip to Philadelphia when
Penn and Penn State met, but did
not play. The following Saturday
he entered the game at left-half-
back against Lehigh and last Sat
urday held down the right-half-
back post against Cornell Incl
dentally, New York papers gave him
creditable mention for a tiftyyard
run from kick off.
MarysvilIe High Star
A product of the Marysville high
school, an institution that is not able
to boast of coach, Lightner entered
Penn State last fall and, although
only a freshman. was carried with
varsity squad throughout the sea-
son. He started one game at full
back against Rutgers, but this was
the extent of his varsity experience
last year. He played throughout the
season, however, at full-back with
the freshman team.
Lightner, too, was a member of
the Penn State baseball squad last
season, and as a freshman, won his
Varsity letter. Tried out in the in
field at the start of the season, he
did not get into a game until late in
the season when he was sent into
left field. In his initial appearance,
he earned a regular berth and was
never busted. He had the distinc-
ton last year of leading the Penn
State team in hitting.
Last season, Lightner covered
center field for the Marysville cham
pions of the Dauphin-Perry League.
He held down the same position on
the Commonwealth Travellers team
of the West End Twilight League.
Lightner is IL member of the Penn
State chapter of the Lambda Chi
Alpha fraternity.

Jimmy Wilde as Flyweight
Is Tough Proposition

Referring to the desire of fly
weight title aspirants to get a
chance at Jimmy Wilde, the English
champion, Charles f. Mathison in
the New York Sun, says:
"A number of little fellows are
asking for matches with Jimmy
Wilde because of their ability to
make a low weight. If Lynch and
Moore, with a dozen pounds ad-
vantage, We're unable to stop the
flyweight champion. what chance
would untried flyweights have with
the Briton?
Patsy Wallace, who insists he is
the flyweight champion of America
but fails to specify how he acquired
the title, demands n bout with
Wilde. Wallace's manager declares
that his man can make 107 pounds
at p. NJ. Conceding that Wallace
can make that weight, it is not un-
likely that if he got a match with
Wilde, Wallace at 1915 p. NJ. prob
ably would be dimly conscious that
some one was, counting over him."

FAST TEAM WILL
MEET MAROONS
Navy Apprentices, of Wash
ington, ID. c., to Play
Here Saturday

Manager Bus" Snyder announced
to-day that the Naval Apprentice
school of Washington, d. c., would
be the opponent of the Tech High
school football eleven on the island
Saturday afternoon. Several other
teams were lined up, but the matter
gradually sifted down to the Wash
ington lads. To date they have made
a clean sweep of the teams down
South, and claim they have trouble
to get high schools TO compete
against them.
They have scored 16S points in
four games and have not been
tailed on. The Apprentices assert
that Central High, of Washington,
the team that cancelled on Tech for
this week, is afraid to play them.
State freshmen do not have a
game for this week, and the Maroon
boys are peeved at them for not
coming to Harrisburg. The claim of
cold feet" is made by followers of
the Maroon aggregation. Just why
they did not come when they had
no contest is a mystery to the Tech
lads. AS neither Tech nor Washing
ton has been scored on a battle
royal may be expected.
Plan Baseball
At a meeting of the Athletic AS
sociation of the student body at
the Technical High school, Bud
die" Lingle, all around athlete and
popular lad at Tech, was chosen
manager of the baseball team that
will represent Tech on the diamond
next spring. Lingle will at once
start to arrange a schedule for the
nine. Last year was the first time
in six years that Tech had team,
and under the leadership of "Bilr'
Hoerner and Birdie" Hinkle, only
two games were lost during the en-
tire season.
Many offers of games have already
come to Tech, and a first-class
schedule will be arranged by the
new manager. The question of a
coach will not be decided upon for
a little while. Prof. Denton NJ. AL
bright, last seasons tutor, is now
an instructor at Edison Junior High
school. In addition to managing the
nine, Lingle will pitch and play the
outfield. Most of last years team
remain for this season.

on Forbes Field on Thanksgiving
Day. one of the hardest games of
the 1919 season is sure to result.
| Not only have both teams been
pointing themselves for this struggle
for it's own sake, but also because
they feel that a victory in this game
will go a long ways toward wiping
out the sting of an early season
defeat.
Both teams have already been de-
feated, both defeats coming early in
the season, while Pitt has also had
her record marred by a tie game
with Penn The Panthers lost to
Syracuse, while Penn State suffered
beating at the hands of Dart
mouth; and since both of these
teams have in turn been defeated,
the dope on the 1919 season has
been sadly muddled. However,
victory for either Penn State or Pitt
on Thanksgiving Day will mean that
the winner will have to be consid-
cred in the final discussion of the
best team of the year.
Pitt has defeated Penn State with
such persistent regularity during
the past six years that upstate
rooters have been inclined to doubt
the ability of the Blue and White
eleven to ever come back. But the
work of Coach BeZdek's team since
the Dartmouth game has caused
wave of optimism to sweep over the
followers of Penn State football ana
they are all looking for victory
over Pitt. -.
one thing that will count as much
as anything else in the final deVei-
