SprOul For Free
Penna. Delegation;
Dimes With PenrOse

Washington, D. c., Nov. 15.-
Pennsylvania delegates to the Re-
publican National convention in
1920 should go absolutely unpledged
and free to act as they deem best
Governor Sproul said yesterday in
discussing the political situation and
the prospects for next year.
What we want are staunch and
true Republicans to go to the con-
vention," the Governor said yester-
day afternoon, just before boarding
a Pennsylvania train after a busy
day in Washington. "If we send un-
pledged men the delegation will be
in a position to act in the best in
terests of the party. Instructed del
egates would be hampered in the
utilization of the strength which
will lie in the Pennsylvania dele
cation and it would be far better to
see that the men selected are firm in
the principles of Republlcanism and
then permit them to vote according
to their convictions
The Governor called upon Senator
Penrose during the afternoon and
was with him for half an hour. He
likewise dined with the Senator
Thursday night after arriving here
and there was naturally some dis
cussion of both State affairs and the
recent election in Philadelphia.

VIVCOME FIVE Is
CAGE ATTRACTION
Play Independents Tonight in
First of Series of
Contests
PROBABLE LINEUPS

Advance notices concerning the
speed of the Vincome team. of Phil
adelphia. would indicate that the
Harrisburg Independents will have
a job on their hands in the game
scheduled between the two COM
binations on the Chestnut Street Hall
floor tonight.
The Vincome delegation has in
cluded practically the same men on
its playing list for the past five years
and when travelling good is regarded
as one of the strongest teams in the
Quaker City. Its defense is unusual
ly strong, the guards, Bilson and
MacGregor, being among the best
guards in the game. Their long ex-
perience as members of the world
champion Greystock five stands in
good stead.
Moorehead will make his bow
here as a member of the Harrisburg
team. He is a Philadelphian, and
has been secured to take the place
of big Hoss" Haggerty at center,
the latter having been compelled to
quit playing here owing to the ma
ture of a contract which he signed
with the Reading Eastern League
Club.

Wild Turkey Season Starts
Today In Pennsylvania

Wild turkeys are in season to-
day. Hunters will be numerous. The
law allows but one turkey to a hunt
er in a season. There will be some
hunters who will not even get that
one. Wild turkeys are not so plenti-
full in this section of the State.
Most of the Harrisburg hunters
will be out for other game. If they
happen to run across a pair of
more of wild turkeys they will be in
luck. Local nimrods who make a
special trip for turkeys generally
know where they are but in the past
two seasons very few wild turkeys
have been brought to Harrisburg.

One of the human interest fea-
lures OF the game is the playing
of two brothers against each other

Callahan, Yale's center, had as his
opponent his brother Mike" the
Princeton center. Mrs. Callahan,
mother of the two football stars,
