BUCKNELL AND GETTYSBYRG

STIFF FIGHT HERE SATURDAY

Bucknell comes to Harrisburg on
Saturday with a record of having
made remarkable showings against
four powerful eastern teams, but
neither those scores against Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, State College,
Navy and Syracuse, nor the fact
that the Lewisburg lads have their
fastest team since Tip Topham and
Jordan were in their prime. have in
the least frightened Coaches Bill
Wood and Doyle Leathers and their
Gettysburg College squad.
Confidence, but not overcontidence,
mingled with a splendid harmonious
spirit. reigns in the Gettysburg camp
and Head Coach Bill Wood knows
that his men are going to put up
the greatest brand of football they
have displayed this year. Five
straight shutout victories is the
splendid record of the Gettysburg
team and the student body hopes
that II will not be marred at Island
Park on Saturday.
Hard Fight Expected
Gettysburg players who have been
approached regarding the probable
outcome of the game say that their
team will enter the field on an equal
basis with Bucknell and that victory
will be awarded to the team dis
playing the most tenacious qualities.

Harrisburg to Be in Six-City
League; New Rules
Coming

On November 24-25 -he program Of
the International convention of Y.
NJ. C. A. workers at Detroit will take
up athletics. In addition to planning
for increased activity in athletics the
question of volleyball rules will come
up. This sport needs less rules than
any other game. but It is the belief
that with a few changes volleyball
will be made more interesting.
One of the proposed changes is to
allow but three taps before sending
the ball over the net. Now the pail
is juggled for sometime at intervals.
Sending the ball over on the third tap
will require more speed. Volleyball
has increased in popularity all over
the United States and Is attracting
much interest from the general pub
lie.

offender.
Cliff Meyer, the brainy quarter
back; Adam Houtz, the side-stepping

punter, are all anxiously waiting for
the opening whistle to blow and 1t is
on these four men that Coaches
Wood and Leathers are depending
for big gains.
Before his many friends and ac-
quaintances, Vic Emanuel, the great.
est end who ever wore q Gettysburg

also from Harrisburg. is expected
to set an example to his men in lead

Lerew and Dulebohn, the rangy
tackles; Nicely, Briggs and Fuhr-

ROYAL JUNIORS
Sensational Run Features
Princeton Practice Game

Princeton, n. j.. Nov. 13. - A
magnificent run of seventy yards
through broken field by Bill Stew
enson, second string end, netted the
second team a touchdown and a tie
score with the Varsity here yester-
day. The first eleven still gave evil
dence of the severe schedule it has
been called on to play for the past
three weeks and its performance in
general was not up to the standard
set in the Colgate Harvard games.
In making his touchdown. Stew
enson lived up to one of the strongest
of Princeton football traditions. 1t
is automatic that loose ball in u
game where q Tiger team is playing
will almost always be recovered by
an Orange and Black warrior. Sam
White brought the 1911 champion
ship to Eddie Hart's team by snatch
ing up fumbles in both the big game
and running the length of the
field for touchdowns. and this
afternoon the scrub end emulated his
distinguished predecessor by clutch
ing the ball when some Varsity
back dribbled it.
He was off in the tWinkling of an
eye and his course through the en-
tire Varsity team was as inspiring
bit of open-field running as has been
seen here this fall.

Coach By Dickson Tells
Why He Canned Players

Lancaster, Pa, Nov. 13.-Rumors
emanating from various sources in
sinuating that the dismissed men,
bers of the Franklin and Marshall
first string football squad were
canned because of participation in
the alleged hazing bee on Monday
night were declared untrue by "By"
Dickson, football mentor at the in
stitution. Dickson also pricked the
bubble story that he had quit the
college through the expulsion of the
players.
The coach not only declared the
stories untrue, but asserted that it
was at his instigation the fourteen
players were dismissed from the
squad.
II would far rather have small
squad that is interested said Dick
son. than any number of players
who show but spasmodic interest in
the eleven. The team, of course, will
be hard hit by the banning of the
fourteen players. but we expect to
go in and fight just as hard as ever.
My squad now is down to fifteen
men, whereas in the past we car
ried around thirty-eight. But we
are assured of players who have
their heart in the game and will
fight to uphold the teams honor"

TECH IS READY
FOR GREENSBURG
Maroons With Big Squad Will
Leave Here Tomorrow
Afternoon

Twenty members of the Technical
High school football squad with the
manager, BUS" Snyder, Faculty Di-
rector Grubb Coach Smith, Assist
ant Coach Leo Harris, and 200 mem
,.bers of the student body will leave
Harrisburg over the Pennsylvania
rattlers for Greensburg Friday af-
ternoon at PIP. While Greensburs
is the final destination, the Maroon
team will go only to Johnstown
where Friday night will be spent
with the Hotel Stanwix as headquar-
ters for the local aggregations.
After a night in the Flood City,
the SQUAD will continue to Green's
burg early Saturday morning, so
that they will have time enough to
lounge around in the Westmoreland
county capital during Saturday
morning. While large squad Will
go along with the team. many oth-
ers will wait until Saturday morning
to go to the western part OF the
State.
Team in Good Shape
The team is in better shape now
than ever before this season. With
the moral effect that the return OF
Captain Frank will bring to the
team, is to be added the return OF
Comfort and Smith who have been
under the weather recently. HON
sommer has been suffering from
quinsy, but he expects to round out
into shape for the battle Saturday.
The teams appear to be evenly
matched judging from comparl-
son of their records. Tech has not
been scored on while Greensourg
has had but one touchdown made
against her Brown and White team
this season. They have won five out
of six games, while Tech has a clean
record in seven contests.
Faculty Director Grubb has an
nounced that Tech will have a band
at the game. The Tech cheer lead
ers will also be there to "jazz" up
the Tech noice makers. Green's
burg has four cheer leaders, Samuel
Hamilton, Judd Mechling, Florence
Dunbar and Elizabeth Gillland.
Techs entire squad of cheer leaders
will make the trip.

UNDER WAY IN
RIVER PARKWAY
New Work Is Being Pushed
and Dead Trees Are Be-
ing Replaced

Under the direction of the Depart
ment of Parks much new planting
is being done this fall and where
trees have died they are being re-
placed by others of the same species.
For instance, along the west side of
Front street between Calder and
Division streets there are now 1913
elm trees all of which are in rea-
sonably good condition. Six of these
trees were replaced recently and
two more will be set out, one near
Calder street and the other just
south of Division street. Property
owners are responsible for the fine
line of elms OH the east side of Front
street between Harris and Division
streets. There are vacant spaces in
this line which would require about
25 elms to complete the avenue of
trees. There are growing now 1853
elms on the east side of the boule-
ward.
The river frontage in the new
Fourteenth ward is 3.647 lineal
feet, of which 500 belong TO the
Harrisburg Academy and 1,42O. to
the Nick Kee- Graham estate. 1t would
require 81 elm trees to continue the
city planting along the west side of
Front street in this ward and it is
hoped that an arrangement can be
made with the property owners to
complete this fine program OF
planting on the river front.
During the last few days V. Grant
Forrer, assistant superintendent OF
parks says Is birch trees along the
Front street path have been replaced
and this work will be continued un-
til the original line has been filled.
1t is the intention of the park
authorities to plant additional matri-
mony vine or some other suitable
shrubbery where needed along the
river slope. Several places require
filling to prevent washing and this
work will also be given attention
before cold weather prevents further
activity.

opening session OF the ffty-third an
nual National Grange meeting. Perils
that confront the nation were pointed
out and plea was made for new
lines OF thought and action.
The speaker held that unless the
people awakened to the dangers tn at
threatened, more serious catastrophes
even to the destruction of the repub-
lie might ensue. The demand for
shorter hours on the part of certain
classes of labor was declared to be
indefensible. On the contrary, Mr..
Wilson urged more and harder work
was the cure for the many of the ma
tion's ills.
