in the camps at home.
OF this enormous bill 80 per cent.

football game between Bucknell and
Gettysburg is scheduled for that
date. This is the important battle
of the year between these teams 1t
will bring to Harrisburg several
thousand from other cities. The
game is scheduled for o'clock.
Coach Reynolds gave his squad of
tired players a rest yesterday. After
the hard game with Syracuse and
the long, tiresome trip he declared a
holiday so that his men would be
fit to start week of strenuous work
to-day. None of BucknelPs squad
was seriously hurt at Syracuse, and
barring accidents in practice this
week, Captain Hendren's team
should be in fine fettle for the fray
with Gettysburg.
Expect Hard Game
The clean-cut victory of Gettys-
burg over Villanova last Saturday, at
York, more than ever causes Buck
nell to realize they will have q man
sized job on their hands at Island
Park. Coach Woods pupils have
overcome all opponents, since the
opening game with Penn State, with

to dent Gettysburg's defense so far
this season, there is abundant rea-
son for anxiety along that line by
Bucknell.
Last night the first student sale
of tickets was held at Bucknell and
more than 1000 undergraduates pur-
chased their cards and seat tags. An
other sale will be held on Wednes-

If Joe Barrett continues to give
fight fans as big q run for their
money as he did last night, he will
have to build new hall in Steelton
to take care of the crowds. 1t was
the greatest exhibition seen in this
vicinity in many days. One continu-

The big feature was the ten

of York and Cyclone (Cy) Smith, of
Newark, N. j. 1t was the fiercest
battle ever staged in or about Har-
risburg. 1t went ten rounds and at
the finish Smiths face looked like

was bleeding at the nose and had an

Too Many Grid Rules Is
Opinion of Three Veterans

Del Monte, Cal, Nov. IL. - That
too many rules exist in football as
played to-day was the opinion voiced
here over the weekend, when three
famous old stars of she gridiron got
together in tanning bee. There
were Jim Rodgers, who was a cele-
brated tackle for Yale in 1897; B. l..
Thane, quarterback for the Cali
fornia eleven which defeated Stan
ford in 1898, and Sam Morse, the
sturdy halfback who captained Yale
in 1906.
"I do not believe that football pos
sesses that same interest and attrac-
t!veness that was the case some years
ago." aid Thane. THE trouble, to
my way of thinking, Is that 60 many
rules have been manufactured that
the opportunities for a variety of
plays is necessarily limited. The
initiative of player is curtailed be-
cause of the predominance OF 80
many rules, When we were playing
the game we were permitted more
| latitude in carrying the ball, and
believe that we put on more at
| tractive contests for the spectators -

LOCAL MANAGERS
SEEK PATRONAGE
Anxious to Give Fight Fans
the Best Possible at
Little Profit

Harrisburg fight cans are saying
many good things about the Harris
burg Boxing Association. This or
ganization has set out to give pa
irons the best that can be had with
no desire to declare a large divi-
dend at the end of the season. The
men back of this association are in
the game for the sport and to put
Harrisburg on the map as a city
that backs legitimate ring shows. If
they quit even local officials have
no kick coming.
For the show Thursday night a
great bill is promised, and in addi-
ton the seat prices have been cut
down so that the highest priced
tickets will be fewer than at any
show held here, and popular prices
will prevail for the balance of the
seats, with q low price for the gall
lery.
Three six-round bouts between
boys who have been tried and found
satisfactory, and a main event of
ten rounds makes up the show. Lo-
cal fans are interested in the career
of K. o. Casey, the Harrisburg lad
who scored two consecutive knock
outs at the last two shows. He is on
again, but this time he will likely
find that he will have his hands full.
His opponent will be Battling"

whose battle with Joe McCarron
here impressed the local critics
highly with his ability, meets Andy

favorite in this city, meets Tommy

night.
Local Decorations
Harrisburg merchants and busi-
nesSmen are planning elaborate WIN
dow displays for several days prior
to the Gettysburg -Bucknell football
game in their city on Saturday. Sew
eral prominent stores have expressed
their intentions of decorating their
windows with the colors of the rival
colleges, and will display enlarged
photographs of the leading players
on both elevens. Special pictures Of
the football squads from Gettysburg
and Bucknell will be used promin-
emily in the show windows
This is Bucknell's year to handle
the details of the big annual game,
and Robert K. Bell, assistant to the
graduate manager of athletics, has
been in Harrisburg for the last three
days arranging for the advertising.
He covered all of the important
towns in the immediate vicinity or
Harrisburg, going down the valley
as far as Carlisle. Big yellow posters
and hundreds of window cards were
distributed throughout Steelton,
MIiddletown, Highspire and Harris
burg.
Both colleges have agreed on the
officials appointed for the game by
the Central Board of officials. No
objection was raised by either insti-
tuition to the first three officials sug-
gested. They will be Il. c. Taggart,

Expert Tax Appraisal Shows
Colonel Had His Share
of Poor Investments

M1NEOLA, L l., Oct. 25.--New side
lights were thrown upon the life of
Theodore Roosevelt to-day through the
filing of the inventory of his estate
with Transfer Tax Appraiser James N
Gehrig. The total value of the estate
is fixed at $810,607, from which $50, 600
will be deducted for funeral expenses
counsel fees and other debts.
Under the terms of the will the en-
tire estate is left to the widow OF
Colonel Roosevelt, to be held in trust
during her life and to be divided
among the children as she may see
fit through her will.
The Roosevelt estate at Oyster Bay
known as Sycamore Hill, i appraised
at $l8o,5OO. Of the numerous small
blocks of stocks and bonds lound
among the Coloneps possessions it is
significant that the largest item was
that of the frs issue of Liberty bonds
which total $4,000 and now have a
market value of $29,9lO. The third
and fourth issues bring the Colonel's
Liberty bond holdings S43 1923 higher
There Is accrued interest on all OF
these bonds. A Canadian Victory
bond is listed at $1,000.
Owned Mexican Bond
The faith of the Colonel in Mexico
is revealed in the form of $4,000
Mexican republic bond. An explana-
tory note of the appraiser says that he
was unable to find that this bond pos
sessed any value. Interest has not
been paid upon it since 1918.
Stock and stock dividends, declared
but unpaid, are valued at S183 ,261. One
of the most important of the stocl
items is 900 shares of Broadway I'm
provement stock, having an estimated
value of $4,000. There are also eighty
shares in the Bankers Trust that have
a market value of $28,80O 10; shares O.
the Central Union Trust, valued a
$685. 40; shares of Penn Railroad
stock appraised at $4,000, and 26:

Mr. Fiala delighted the crowd with a
story of Colonel Roosevelt's New Year
celebration in the jungle. South Amer

hour. so on New Years Day he plunged
off into the jungle for morning stroll
with no more nourshment than a tiny
cup of coffee. They got lost in the

DETROIT, Oct 25.-Following Is q
summary of the accomplishments Of
the triennial general convention Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, which
has just come to close in this city:
Complete reorganization of the ad-
ministration of the general affairs Of
the church by creating q body to be
known as the Presiding Bishop and
Council. This bod, will centralize the
control of three boards which formerly
administered the general affairs of the
church--the Board OF .Iissions. the
General Board for Religious Educa-
ton and the Social Service Commits
sion. In addition two departments
have been added to the administrative
scheme--fnance and publicity.
Increasing the powers Of the pro
vincial synods, which means that the
grouping Of the various dioceses into
provinces will be taken advantage Of
forthe erection of little general
convention" system. Ultimately it is
expected that there will be archbish-
ops, or If the word proves distasteful,
metropolitans, to administer the at
fairs of the provinces.

his veto was nuilified by two-thirds
vote in Congress.
New York City, however, because of
an ordinance signed Saturday by Mayor
Hyian, will move it's clocks an hour
ahead again next spring and resume
its daylight saving regardless of the
rest of the clocks in the country.
The Federal daylight-saving law
which has been in force until to-day
was enacted in February, 1918, with the
purpose of speeding up wartime pro-
duction and effecting economy in do
nestle use of coal for lighting pur-
poses.
ure, it saved 100000 tons of coal and
s4O,000.O00 in gas and electricity
probably a much greater economy than
resulted in ancient Greece and Rome
