ELEVEN HANDS
RUTGERS ONE HARD JOLT;
ACKLEY SAVES HIS TEAM

New York, Nov. 5.-Displaying u
hard-striking, versatile attack, SYRIA
cuse crushed Rutgers by the score
OF IA to here yesterday afternoon,
scoring touchdowns in each of the
last two periods, the first through a
forward pass and the latter on TWO
long end runs.
For one half Rutgers played UNI
usually good football, and kept It's
opponents at bay. Syracuse several
times marched within scoring dis
tance, but never consummated the
drive by scoring. Ackley, of SYRIA
cuse, twice endeavored placement
goals from midfield, but his
location was extremely poor.
Ackley, however, probably saved
his team from being scored upon, for
on one occasion Baker, Rutgers
quarterback, intercepted a forward
pass and with clear field ahead,
sprinted desperately. He was finally
overtaken and thrown by Ackley,
this being the only time Rutgers was
really threatened.
Play during these periods was con-
fined almost entirely between the
two 25-yard lines, both teams hold
ing well against the ordinary line
rushes and end runs. In the third
period Syracuse uncovered q puzz-
ling overhead attack which quickly
scored when Abbott's lateral pass to
Ackley was in turn thrown 35 yards

hotel and commissary equipment and
to become independent of local con-

Comiskey's scheme will not be put

the White Sox have second call.
President Comiskey will take his
time in selecting a camp and Will
send a representative to look things
over carefully before making his
choice, then if weather CONDITIONS
prove satisfactory he will inaugurate
in the spring OF 1921 his plans for
providing hotel and eating accomno-

AVIATION FIELD
WILL BE PLACED
AT MIDDLETOWN
Listed as One of the Few First
Class Landing Places
in Country

The Harrisburg, Government,
landing field, "P-53," is to be tenn
porarily located at Middletown, ac-
cording to reports filed by the trans
continental flyers, who rate that field
as one of the eight first-class land
ing fields that they found on their
trip. Harrisburg holds a lease on
this field and will control it until
this city can secure one nearer the
city limits.
OF the twenty fields classified by
the pathfinders, only eight were
listed as class, and this city has
the distinction of being the only one
in Pennsylvania so listed. The other
five State fields listed were Altoona,
second class; Lebanon, Huntingdon,
and Johnstown, third-class, and
Pittsburgh, fourth class.
Ending their flight at Fort Smell
ing, the pathfinders gave the results
of their Investigations to the Direc-
tor of Air Service there. They re-
ported that they had conferred at
the different cities, with flying clubs,
civic organizations, and Chambers OF
Commerce, with the result that every
city seemed to be very enthusiastic
about establishing better fields with
| a view to putting themselves on the
air map.
Several of the routes announced
were Nos. and 8, which are respec-
lively, Bustleton to Lebanon to Har-
risburg, and Harrisburg to Hunting
don to Altoona. The Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce has been con-
sidering a field since the refusal of
the State Hospital Board TO allow the
/ Maclay and Cameron streets field to
be used for landing place, but as
yet no suitable place has been Sc
cured.

James A. Foley, son-in-law of

The Socialists failed to make good
their claim they would poll larger

credited with little more than ten

VOLLEYBALL STARS ANXIOUS Fl
TWO BIG GAMES
ON ISLAND GRID
Camp Curtin to Open Pro-
gram With Maroon Re-
serves Bethlehem Next

The biggest football attraction OF
Island Saturday afternoon when the
Technical High School reserves will
oppose the Camp Curtin Junior High
School at 1.30, as curtain-raiser to
the Bethlehem Prep contest at
800 p. m. Both games will be fea-
ture contests.
Saturday will be the first time
that local patrons will have had to
see the Camp Curtin lads in action
under the coaching of Horace Gelsel.
Opposed to them will be Bob" Lutz's
second string. Later in the season
the Edison Junior High will oppose
the Tech seconds, and this will serve
as a comparison as to the relative
strength of the two Junior High
Schools who will be pitted against
each other for the Junior High
supremacy. When these two schools
meet it will be a miniature Central
Tech struggle.
The Camp Curtin lads and lassies
will be out in full force with n cheer
ing section to aid their team to VIC
tory. 1t should be battle royal.
The Juniors have not lost q game TO
date.
The Big Game
Following tho preliminary will
come the Tech-Bethlehem Prep
battle with Captain "Hennie" Kohl
man leading the visitors. "Hennie"
is one of the most popular athletes
Tech ever had, making the team in
his Freshman year. He also landed
q berth on the basketball quintet.
Johnny" Bech, another "'T" lad will
play an end for the visiting team.
While Tech will be a strong favorite,
Bethlehem will have many followers
because of the two former Tech
boys playing with them. The largest
crowd of the season will be on hand
to see these two battles. Next week
Tech goes to Greensburg, while the
Gettysburg-B game will be
played on the Island. The Green's
burg game will mark the fifth meet
ing between the two teams, and to
date Greensburg is leading in the
number of games won.

Coach Bezdek Praises Men
Who Helped Penn State Win

state College, Pa. Nov. B. Goach
Bezdek gave his Blue and Whlte
eleven more or less of rest since
Monday as a reward for their great
work against Penn last saturday
Signal drill occupied most of the
coachIs time and the mistakes of
the game were all pointed out. With
the exception of Ways sore shoulder
Ali of the men are in good condi-
tion. To-day work will begin in
earnest for the Lehigh game on Penn
sylvania Day, for Penn State play
ers and coaches are not underesti-
mating the strength of the Brown
and White eleven.
The work of the Blue and White
line at Penn was particularly pleas
ing to Coach BeZdek, as the line has
been the big problem thus far. Con-
over seems to have found himself,
and he should prove to be a match
for any rival center. Rauch and Os-
born the two guards, seems to have
solved that problem also, while Henry
will probably continue to pair off
with Ben Cubbage at tackles.
The work of Dutch Brown at left
end was revelation, while Higgins
gave one of the greatest exhibit
tions of his career. He had never
before punted in a game, yet he com
pletely out-distanced both Drummer
and Bell.

YORK HAS CRAZE
OLD-TIME SPORT
Eddie Hooper Visits the City
Gets Fans Enthused Over
Prospects

York, Pa, Nov. 5.-There is a
place York in a professional baseball
league of Glass B standing. Such a
project, with a successful conclusion
would fill the cup of joy of York S
baseball fans, so nearly all of the
local fans would be in hearty ac-
cord with league club representing
York.
The plan, which had its inception
recently by q visit to York of one
of the former local diamond stars, is
to place this city in the proposed
league, such as was enjoyed in the
halcyon days before the war. 1t is
the idea of the league promoters to
organize six or eight-club league
of Pennsylvania cities. So far the
sentiment in Harrisburg, Lancaster,
Reading and Allentown is in favor of
such a proposition, and the league
originators cannot see why York
should be left out in the cold, when
neighboring cities are in n league.
Eddie Hooper Looms Up
Eddie Hooper, former member
of several York Tri-State teams, and
who last season played in the Vir-
ginia league, was in this city re-
Gently and spoke to several local
business men on the project, and
these men are in favor of having
York represented in such a league.
. Hooper's plan is this: The local
baseball fans should Organize an as
sociation with a capital of $4,000.
To do this it would require 100 York
fans to put in 500 each and this
capital would be the foundation of
securing players and grounds. Eddie
also said that he would come to
this city and lend all the assistance
that he can in helping to organize
the association and also take out
$1,000 worth of stock in the York
association himself.

JAPAN DIVIDED
ON QUESTION OF
GERMAN ISLES
(By Associated Press)

Toxic, March 3 (By ,maiD--Public
| opinion in Japan is not entirely unan-
imous on the question Of whether Ja-
pan shall retain possession of :, the
Marshall and Caroline Islands, which
she took from Germany and now
hclds. The Osaka Mainichi sets forth
the attitude Of many Japanese
thinkers in an articles in which that
newspaper insists that the islands
shall be retained. The Mainichi de
fclares that, if America was. allowed
to seize and fortify Hawaii and thus
to greatly threaten Japan; if she was
permitted to occupy Guam and the
Philippines, making them not only
source of wealth to herself, but
also a great menace to Japan, China
and the British and Dutch posses
sions; if Australia and New Zealand
have similar control over New Guinea
and Samoa, it is certain that Japan
shall possess the Marshall and Caro-
line islands, exercising the same
right and rule over them.
"And in so doing" the paer as
serts, Japan will be only acting the
part of small watch dog faithful
ly protecting it's own house, in a
very different manner and spirit
from the American wolf, whose wolf
ish ambition is indeed to be feared.
If Japan is not to be allowed to for
tify the islands she took from Ger
many and which of right belong to
her, then the defenses of Gibraltar,
the Suez canal and other points should
Re raZed.
"Raciel discriminatory treatment in
these, too. should be abolished and
these islands not be left to white
domination"
The opposite view was expressed
by Yukio Ozaki, former minister of
Justice, in an address delivered in
Tckio few days ago, inwhich he
said: ...
at is, indeed, great honor for
Japan to occupy the position Of
stockholder in that great ,nterna-
tional corporation. the League Vt Ma
tions. The honor is far greater than
Japan will obtain by the possession
of the Marshall and Caroline isl
ands"
