a bullet wound in the leg, self -inf1ict-
ed, according to news reaching Paris.
The wound is MT regarded as serious
The crown princes act, which has
caused a sensation in Bucharest, is
said to have been prompted by the
kings insistence that the prince make
six months trip to Japan, to forget
the girl from whom he was forced by
his royal parents to obtain a divorce
because she was neither titled nor
wealthy.
The queen has done her utmost to
divert Prince Charles mind from Ce-
ellie by trying to interest him actively
in her charitable works, but Charles
is still deeply attached to his form
er wife and has frequently been seen in
her company. She lives in Bucha-
rest and recently gave birth to a
child, which started gossip about the

Wake Up, Harrisburg

Only a small percentage of the
Capital City knows anything about
the value of sports as a community
center activity. They are the hard
boiled, staid members of our neigh
borhood who help little in bringing
folks together in social enjoyment.
This is no knock, but an effort to
awaken more interest in mass sports.
the kind which has been introduced
by the enterprising Y. NJ. c. A.
Chestnut street auditorium last
night entertained perhaps 1900 per-
sons, and 1t was pleasing to notice
some of the city's prominent men
who realize what Tech is doing as a
community center agency. The au-
dience, of course, was made up
mostly of young folks, and it is
worth noting that the conduct of all
was dignif1ed, clean and yet enthus-
iastic. The tremendous and una
dulterated joy last evening when

INTER-CLASS GAMES

Basketball games between the

fact that they never had held any

Broad Outlook on World
Politics Emphasized by
DR.. BagnelI in Address

The need for broad-visioned ont
look on world politics was en-
phasized by the Rev. DR.. Robert
Bagnell, pastor of the Grace Meth
odist Church, in an address to the
congregation of the Ohev Sholom
Temple last night.
THE Turning of the Tide" was
the subject on which DR.. Bagnell
spoke. He recalled the eventfuI
months when American soldiers
were streaming to the French front,
taking their reinvigorating influence
into the ranks OF the Allies. He re-
counted instances of bravery by the
Americans and Allies and told of
their self-sacrilice. He emphasized
the need now, at the turning of the
tide of human affairs. for a vision
of present-day limitations, and not
of hundred years ago.
The Allies look to us for CO.
operation now, just as they did
during the war;" he said, and urged
his hearers to guide their policies
from a standpoint of world freedom,
rather than petty interests.
A prayer for the guidance of the
nations officials and for the success
of a league of nations to insure
peace, was offered in conclusion by
Rabbi Louis J. Haas.

PITT CLAIMS A
PEERLESS SCORE
IN BASKETBALL

Pittsburgh, Pa, March L.
A seven-year basketball record
which will bear comparison with
that of any college team is that
lined by the University OF
Pittsburgh since DR.. George M.
Flint became coach of its. moor
team. In this time 81 victories
have been recorded against only
AZ. defeats, giving d record of .675
on the percentage basis. Among
the victims of the Panthers have
been Yale, Pennsylvania, Lehigh.
West Point, Rutgers, Lafayette,
Penn State, Colgate, Swarthmore,
Syracuse and others of the lead
ing fives of the country.
Coach Flint during his own
playing career, won all-American
honors as a member and captain
of the University of Pennsyl-
vania team, and his success has
been no less marked as an in
structor. OF the seven teams
which he has coached at Pitt
prior to this season five have been
big winners, while the others lost
only one. more than a majority
of their tussels. In 1915 his men
won Is out of IS; in 1915 they
took 16 as against 2 defeats, and
in 1917 were returned winners
in Il out of 19 games. In 1915
the State championship was won
through brilliant victories over
Penn State and Swarthmore,
winners of Central and Eastern
titles, and this year and that fol-
lowing. Pitt formed the feat of
defeating West Point twice in
succession on its floor.
Since DR.. Flint took charge OF
the big Pittsburgh school only two
games have been lost to Wash
ington & Jefferson, ancient rivals,
though two were played each
year. In recent years an even
break has been secured with Pepn
State and with Allegheny, which
always produce star floor teams,
and Yale has been defeated in
both of the contests played.

mate target shooting. claiming the sport
should be encouraged as national
| benefit. His visual defect prevented
him from becoming an expert trap
shot, as target must lie located and FOL
lowed by the eyes as soon as 1t leaves
the trap. His excellent judgment in
estimating distance, velocity or height,
were the requisites for successful shoot
ing at the traps and enabled him TO be-
come an expert wing shot afield. as an

criticism was heard of the ColoneFs
famous African hunt in quest of the

Answer.
The staging of the National Crow
Shoot is in the interest of game pro-
lection and is a most commendable
move. In my judgment the hawk
should be added with a special incen-
tive for their destruction. The hawk
should be the especial piece de resist

Question.
Saw a recent article, stating that
trapshooting was being indulged in at
night by the use of electric lights. is
this line of sport practicable and have
any OF the shooters been able to make
high scores. Where have they been
shooting at night? Give me a little
line on the outfit necessary.
T. H. d.

Answer.
Target shooting at night has become
very popular in a number of clubs. Kan
sas City, Mo. Peru, Indiana; Dayton,
Ohio.
The sport has been very much enjoyed
as it has proven a success. 1t is GER
tainly an innovation. The targets are
painted white. which gives them the ap-
pearance of a large SNOWFALL against
a background of Egyptian darkness.
The targets are easily seen and located,
when shattered they have the appear
ance of white puff of dust In Day
ton they have ten 45o-candle power
incandescent lamps on poles ten feet
high about ten yards back of the score.
two 1,o00-candle power lights are placed
in position on the ground, one on either
side of the traphouse. All lights are
centered by refiectors.
