gregation has two 10-second men in
the back field. They will have plenty
of chance to show their ability
against the Tech fliers in. the back
field.
Erie Undefcated I'm Eight Games
In eight games, Erie has not been
defeated, and has run up 297 points
to its opponents' 10. Then the fol-
lowing week, Tech will oppose Mas

ors. These lads have also a long
string of victories.
Carl Beck came out of the Navy
game Saturday with an injured right
shoulder. To-day he was carrying
the injured member in n sling, but
will have it in working order by Sat-
urday according to the doctor.
Whether it will be right for the

Captain Frank will not be able to
play against Steelton.

freshment stand on the Island will
give a live turkey to the Tech player

TWO Big GAMES
FOR CAGE FIVE
Independents Meet Garnets on
Thursday; Norristown
Saturday Bill

But one change has been made
in the lineup of the Garnet five over
that of last season, that at the CEN
ter position. When the Philadelpnla
Redlegs go on the floor against the
Independents Thursday night they
will have Klotz at the pivot post
Klotz is not very we'll known in TINS
district, but is understood TO De
good player.
Outside of KlotZ. the Garnets
will be the same as last year, Wnen
that speedy travelling complnation
made several trips to Harrisburg Tor
games with the Independents.
Dienes and Haire, the forwards
have played in Harrisburg on a
Number of occasions. having made
Srips here with the Garnets for the
past several years. AS guards, Par-
ker and Ehlers will hold forth. This
pair has also played together for
Nome time, and are regarded as
capable men on the defense.
With tlre Garnets known as Phlla-
delphia's foremost travelling combl-
nation, the Independents are keen
ly interested in adding the team
among it's list of victims, and to be
better prepared to do so practice
has been called for tomorrow night,
to be held in the Chestnut street
hall. At this time the exact lineup
of the Independents for the Thurs
day night game will probably be
Aecided upon. AS far as is known
now, McCord and Wallower will fill
the forward positions, with Moore
head at center, and Gerdes and
either Ford or Kline at guards.
Should Kline play Thursday night,
it is probable that Ford will get in
the Saturday night game.
Norristown is billed as the Satur-
day night attraction, and the In
dies" are in for another hard bat

EDISON JUNIOR HIGH
SCHOOL NOTES

The entire school will go to the
to-day during the special
activities period. After the routine
program the period will be devoted
to the singing of school songs and to
the practicing of school yells Miss
Ella Ryan will lead the singing and
the cheering will be lead by the
cheer leaders, Helen Forsythe, Dor
othy Long, Mary Collins, Ethel Fitch.
Harold Track, Louis Hines and
John Carl.
When the citizens were dismissed
were asked to give a special sacrifice
gift in the form of money to be de-
voted to the Thanksgiving gift for
charities. The school wishes to have
it's students realize that a gift is
only a gift when it is given in the
spirit that carries the giver with it,
THAT the gift without the giver is
bare" The citizens were asked to
sacrifice a car ride, a plate of ice
cream, or the like sand give the
money thus saved to the charities
realizing that it will do some good
to someone less fortunate. A gener-
GUS response resulted.
At first the principal had thought
to limit the gifts to this money but
the young citizens desired so much
to give various useful gifts such as
they have been accustomed to give
heretofore that on Wednesday morn
ing an opportunity will be given to
any citizen to bring their gifts of
good things to eat and the like.
These gifts will be first taken 20
the home rooms where they will he
grouped and later taken TO one
room from which point they will be
sent to the charity that should re-
ceive them.

GILL WINNER In
SECOND ROUND
frankie Britton Sent Through
the Ropes to the Floor;
Other Good Bouts

That Johnny Gill is a better man
proved last night at the Joe Barrett
show in Steelton. Gill hit Britton on
the jaw in the second round, sending
the Quaker boy through the ropes to
the floor. Britton was unconscious
when he fell, the blow having put him
to sleep.
The referee counted him out and
then Britton's seconds threw the tow
ell into the ring claiming technical
krockout There was nothing to the
fight but Gill. Britton was willing to
fight, but he lacked the punches to
make an impression on the local boy.
1t was to have been a 10-round wind
up.
Gill Won a Decisive Victory
There were doings in last nights
show seldom witnessed by local fight
fans. None of the bouts went the
limit. Little jeff of Baltimore, scored
Knockout over Jimmy Tender OF
Philadelphia in the third round. jeff
was strong from the start Tender
had the ability, but his punches lack
ed steam. 1t was a good battle with
Little Jeff the favorite all the time.
Richmond Wins
Kid Richmond, another local favor
ite put it I'LL over Joe Dundee, of
Philadelphia in two rounds. Richmond
was a real fghterAnd had his oppon-
ent in bad shape in the first round.
Early in the second blow on the
stomach sent Dundee to the floor and
before the referee counted him out
Dundee's second threw towel into
the ring. Dundee was sick boy.
Willie Langford. now of Steelton,
fought six fierce rounds with Jimmy
Duncan, of Middletown. Langford
had the best of the battle, but Dun
can was game and had he been in
condition would have given Langford
n real battle. But it was a good
fight. In the preliminary Harry Hill
debrandt of Steelton put Red Johns,
of Harrisburg. out in the first round.
1t was a slugging match.
The Barrett show last night pleased
a record crowd of fight fans. 1t was
real fighting all through. Gills work
was especially pleasing and every
boy on the bill fought his best. The
next show is scheduled for December
s, with Billy Angelo and Kid Alberts
scheduled for a 10-round windup.

Game Certain
For Saturday Afternoon;
Teams Work Hard Daily

The Army-Navy game will be
played at Island Park Saturday af-
ternoon as scheduled, starting at 3
O'Clock. The teams will be lined
up to-day and work started for this
battle. The Army will have q sig
nal drill Wednesday night, and the
Navy will get together each after
noon. This game has attracted much
interest because the players are
numbered among those who have
won gridirons during their service in
France.
Tech was anxious to play Erie on
Saturday in this city. The American
Legion, who is directing the local
Army-Navy game waived their right
toe the Island, but Erie preferred the
game at home, and as it would mean
a large guarantee for Tech it was
decided to go to Erie. This leaves
a clear field for the Legion event.
In all probability Pat Reagan will
captain the Army team. The Navy
lineup will include number of
stars. 1t is hoped that several col
lege boys will be home Saturday and
get into the Navy lineup. Drills will
be in order from now until Satur-
day and each team will have some
interesting football to offer.
