EDISON PLANS
CAGE SEASON
Will Meet Camp Curtin in Il
Series of Games For,
Local Title

Football has passed from the
Junior High School stage with the
ending of the Camp Curtin game and
basketball has entered to take the
place vacated by the gridiron sport.
Soon the interest that surrounded
the gridiron will be centered about
the basketball floor. Edison Junior
High will have a team as will Camp
Curtin. These two teams will again
be rivals for the honors of a city
championship.
Here again every game will be
but a preparation for the great
struggle of the season. There will
however probably be this difference,
the champion will have to win q
series instead of one game.
Since Edison has lost the football
championship for this season, the
loyal citizens of Edison will be all
the more anxious to place strong
basketball outfit on the floor in the
hope that Edison may to some ex-
tent retrieve the advantages lost
when the football championship
passed to Camp Curtin.
Edison Is Game
The Edison warriors will not sulk
in the tent because of initial defeat
and when the call for basketball
candidates Is issued within the next
few days a large number of men
will respond. The response will be
just as spirited at Camp Curtin
where their reputation is already
won but must be retained. Rivalry
between these two teams promises
to be keen and the lovers of basket
ball will see some very interesting
sport this winter.
Both schools have good floors.
Edison will be better equipped in
this respect than Camp Curtin for
the Edison building has one of the
incest gymnasiums in the city and
1t is doubtful IL there Is better
basketball floor in Harrisburg.

New Jersey Association Takes
Steps to Better the

Philadelphia, Dec. S.-The- New
Jersey Boxing Promoters Associa-
ton is officially in existence The
New Jersey Boxing Commission has
recognized the body and promised
the promoters cooperation with
them in every way possible to make
the sport better in New Jersey and
help them in avoiding the pitfalls
that the sport has run afoul of in
other states.
AL Waldron, of Trenton, was
chosen president of the organiZa-
ton and an executive committee was
named to consider the several sub
jects discussed at the initial meeting
at the Robert Treat Hotel in New
ark. Fourteen of the 20 clubs in
the state were represented.
One of the very first proposals of
the promoters was to suggest to the
next Legislature that the state tax
of 10 per cent be reduced somewhat.
The promoters contend that this tax
is a very heavy burden and pointed
to the fact that $4,000 is expected
to drop into the Golfers of tie stale
before June of next year without
considering for a moment any big
fight that may be staged during the
period. The suggestion may hear
some fruit.
To Reduce Free IAst
Another suggestion was that the
free list" be reduced to a sensible
limit All the promoters complained
that they were hard hit-especially
when staging O. big fight-by every
Tom, Dick and Harry who even once
knew politician for tickets. It is
likely that a sane list will be framed.
Star boxers and their demands
came in for O lot of discussion and
after the pros and cons were consid-
cred the feeling was that this paI
of the program would go up in
smoke.

Even high school football was pro-

$4,000 turned out to see the Som

The crowd poured out on the field
in such numbers that the game had
to be called at the end of the sec
ond period.
When the immense Yale bowl with
it's seating capacity of close to TO-

recommended the Eli officials for q

adequate for the crowds attending
