BOWLERS ARE SHOWING GREAT EARLY SEASON FORM-BASKETBALL SOON IN STYLE VOLLEYBALL PROMISES TO BECOME ONE OF LEADING ATHLETIC INDOOR GAMES Now that volleyball has secured a strong hold on Harrisburg, there is to be one of the greatest seasons in the history of this Indoor game. Through the efforts of the Zembo Pntrol team the public has been brought into this sport. Heretofore it was confined to gymnasiums and athletic clubs. Here is what John Swank, sports editor of the Lancas ter Intelligencer haa to say about this sport: "Volleyball has been benefited by the war possibly more than any other sport on the athletic calendar. He fore the late unpleasantness on the other side of the brine, which put Willy Hohenzollern in the discard, volleyball was thought of only as a girls game. Now it gives promise of becoming one of the greatest indoor, as well as outdoor sport. "Uncle Sam saw the virtues of the game and leagues were organized in the various army camps throughout the country. Even on the other side the game was played to a great ex tent. Volleyball always has been on the list of gymnasium sports, but was neven very popular with the grownups, the youngsters being the only ones who played it to any great extent. During the war, however, grownups took up the game and found it to their liking with the re sult that teams are now being or ganized in even - city in the United States. Harrisburg Volleyball Mad "Harrisburg has gone volleyball mad, and at least six or eight leagues have been formed. Lodges, clubs and other organizations have organ- Beck Is Looking Better in Penn State Lineup; Anxious to Defeat Penn State College. Pa., Oct. 28.—T0 de- | feat Penn on November 1 is the , aim of every Penn State football j player and coach, and with this ob- j ject in view, the work of the past j week has been harder than at any ; time during the season. It is fully i realized that Penn has a strong team ( his year and that they will be hard j •.o beat next Saturday, but every Penn ; State man is determined to do his j best to carry the Blue and White j to victory. The Dartmouth defeat was not un- | expected, for while it was believed ! that. Penn State had a fighting chance j to win, the coaches were not very j optimistic. The team play of the! Blue and Wliite eleven had not been , sufficiently developed at the time to ! comhat the machine-like play ins of j the big Green team. As was ex- | pected, Penn State's line proved no i match for Dartmouth's veteran ag gregation and as a result, the Blue and White backfield was given no chance to show anything. Several new men have been show ing up well of late, among them being Black, Bear and Bentz. Beck, the formere halfback, is at last be ginning to learn the fine points of | 'line play, and he may be the very man to bolster the line. MacKenzte, the red-haired center who has been on the sidelines with a bad knee for almost three weeks, is again back on the job and he will be a hard man to keep off the team.

I ORNER'S BOOT SHOP |i |j ?4 North Third Street if I TUESDAY EVENING, ized teams and spirited contests are the result. Lancaster is at present only represented by one team, but the sport is one of the most popular on the calendar at the local L. M. C. A., and it is thought that other clubs and organizations will take up the game. "Those who are not familiar with the game are of the belief that the game requires no skill in the playing and that any person can play the game. True any person can play it the same as football, baseball and basketball and other sports, but to play it as it should be played re quires a great deal of practice. Like in all athletic games, a certain sys tem must bo used on the attack and defense to make a team strong. Teamwork is the main requirement for a successful volleyball team, and to gain this essential much practice is required. Individual Points Not Scored "Volleyball has one distinction from any other athletic game, in that it is impossible to tell which indi vidual scored the point. Mainly it is the opponent who scored the point lor the opposing team, because he fails to return tha ball. Points are counted, of course, but no individual gets the credit for scoring the point as in other athletic games. Another point in favor of volleyball is that young and old alilcb can play the game without fear of injury, as in other branches of athletics. It is, for this reason possibly that volleyball is fast coming to the front and ex ponents of the game claim it will be one of the major sports in the near future.' joe Choynski Explains What Real Kidney Punch Means to Ring Fighters San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 28. —''One | punch that the fighters of to-day do \ not know how to use is the kidney I punch." said the veteran Joe Choyn | ski. recently. "To us old timers it is amusing I to sit at a tight and hear remarks ' about the kidney punch when some i third rater reaches over the shoulder . of the man he is fighting and slams ! him with the open hand on the back. | Ad Wolgast. a world's champion, was i supposed to know how to use the i kidney punch. But even Wolgast did not use it properly. "The man who introduced the kid ney punch was Danny Needham, and | there's never been another man who j could use the punch as Danny could. I The kidney punch is a jab and not i a swing. And it doesn't land on a I man's back. It lands on the soft ! part of the side—just nboVe the belt. | One kidney punch or two, though j painful, will not he very effective. "Needham specialized on the punch j and sometimes landed it as often as ! a dozen times in a round. He'd keep using it until the other fellow's side was blood raw and he caved in. And all the time, remember, it was a jab, just a poke and a twist of the wrist and the sinking of the first a few inches into the soft flesh." Mt.

This wili be Schtff's first start this year in a regular fight. Sammy has always volunteered his services will ingly for patriotic purposes, and he has kept in great condition in that way. The Baltimorean has improv ed greatly during the past year. The special bout of six rounds is be tween the two best bantans ever paired in this section. Kid Rich- I mond, from .the same stable as Ma lioney, and boxing partner to Kid Williams, will meet Lancaster's pride, Jackie Parkes, the stable mate of Tim Droney.

Middletown ! went to the expense of advertising ! the field in good condition, selling tickets and had a big crowd on the field and was ready to play. Then word was received from Harrisburg that they would not be down. We don't think we had a square deal. This was to be our first game at home. We played two games away from home—Mt. Joy and Highsplre —and lost both,'but we'were count ing on getting even. I understand we are not the only ones they dis appointed this way. Mr. Davies should at least let the team who he is going to play know in time, so they could get another game. We would like to hear from some team who will not disappoint us for next Saturday, as we have an open date. CLARENCE WEIRICH, , phone Rescue Hose Co., 123 Brown street. Middletown, Pa.

Manager Ford re quested Kline to join the squad of ' candidates prior to the night of the opening workout of the Indpendents several weeks ago, and in the prac- i tices that have been held since that tintg Kline has been showing excel lent form. He is a rather fast player, and "follows the ball" continually, but his floor work is good, and he is by no means a bad shot. It is prob able that he will be played at guard should he get in the opening tilt. Kline recently organized an ama teur live with the intention of get ting a schedule of out-of-town games during the winter. This will be car ried through, despite his connections with the Independents, and he will play with the amateur organization on nights other' than Saturdays' or holidays. Daily practices are to be conduct ed durini; the coming week for the contest with the St. Elizabeth quin- I tet next Saturday night. The Phila delphlans are said to be a trifle stronger than they were last year, and if this is the case the contest I should be a good one. ■ Steelton Star Looms Up as Star For Lebanon Valley: AiuwiUc, Pa., Oct. 2 8. —Although I tired out by their long trip to Clarks burg, W.

Their zeal for a workout last night, however, got them nothing!, for rain interfered with the sched uled workout.
