There were few fouls committed, Referee John Ruane calling seventeen on Hazlton and eleven on Old Forge.

Willie McCarter, who starred for Wilkes Barre in the old Penn State League, was in the lineup at guard for the Mountaineers and played a whale of a game, holding Rose to one field goal. A meeting of the managers will be 'held tonight at the Elks' Club in Pittston. NEW YORK, N. Feb. 20 (A.P.).

It comes most unexpectedly and often vanishes just as mysteriously.

Take the case of Bruce Caldwell, much talked about Yale star. One yet ago Caldwell was little known, just one of the hundreds of athletes trying to win the coveted Yale Y. Caldwell came Yale a highly toutci scholastic star, but, as is often the case, injuries and illness greatly handicapped him and it didn't eem as if he was going to make good on the many lavish press notices that had been handed him Last fall, Caldwell, in good health and fre from injuries, began to play the game of football of which he was capable. He was the talk of the east. Coach Tad Janes of Yale pronounced him one or the jreatest Yale backs of all time.

Then, just before the Princeton and Harvard games, the two big events of the year for Yale, somf one who didn't have much to do discovered that Caldwell at Brown as a freshman had played for something like 12 minutes more or less. He was declared ineligible, depriving him of the big thrill of his career, playing against Princeton and.Har vard. Yale, however, was equal to the occasion and won both games despite of his absence from the lineup. Caldwell's football hallyhoo, because of his being declared ineligible, brought out thefact that he also was a baseball star. Immedia tely, a number of major league clubs started a wild scramble for his ser vices.

Since good ball plavers are much desired, acting as the agent for Cleveland, I got into the hunt for Caldwell's services and ha 1 made arrangements for mm to come to Cleveland and talk over the possibility of the Indians signing him for 1928, since he graduates from Yale in June.

F. Quinn, crack Holy Cross sprintei'. completed his conquest over a stellar field of dash men by capturing the final of the 60 yard event from Karl Wildermuth of Georgetown, the national chamoion. Quinn's best time made ii? his first heat, was 6 1 5 seconds, equalling the world's mark set by Loren Murchison five years ago, but he won the final in 6 3 5 seconds to beat out Wildermuth by inches. Al.

Miller, former Harvard ace, and Fohvell Scull of Pennsylvania were third and fourth in the final heat after such cracks as Roland Locke, the famous Nebraskan, Jackson Scholz and Frank Kussey had been eliminated. Locke, making his eastern debut, was beaten bv Scull in his first heat and finished last in his semi final heat won by Quinn. Sabin Carr of Yale, narrowly missed in three attempts to shatter his own world's indoor nole vault record of 13 feet 9 1 4 inches. After clearing 13 feet 6 inches, to win the event, Carr bumped off the bar three Mmes at 13 feat 10 inches. Twice he soared over the bar only to knock it oil with his arm.

Mr. Morgan judged that he is not over estimating when he in saying that fully 4 000 track and field fans will view the activities. The meet is by far one of the most important as well as largest indoor scholastic carnivals to be held in the state this season.

Fifteen schools, the cream of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, will compete for the handsome loving cup and individual winners' prizes. Sanctioned by the athletic authorities of District 2, P. I. A. all records made will be given official approval.

Tech and Central track teams completed training for the carnival yesterday afternoon at the armory. The squads appeared in the finest of condition and ready to defend the the reputation as outstanding track teams as established by former athletes of the cinder and board tracks of the Red and White, and Blue and Gold institutions. The city high schools, however, will receive plenty of opposition from the athletically inclined schools down the valley as Nanti coke, Kingston, Pittston, West Pittston and Wilkes Barre Coughlin. Up Valley schools, too, as Carbon dale, are likely to trample down local school banners in their path to honors and prizes. Dunmore High School has also developed a good team this year.

It will be the first matinee scholastic game here this season. Because we FUSIL TVT "At Yale, Caldwell has played mostly at second base.

It is pos sibl he might find some other posl tion more advantageous. He has a rather peculiar throw that keeps him from the ball away quickly. That might handicap as a big league second baseman, where fast double plays are so very im i i tt i those natural ball players who can easilv adant himspif to nnv nosi tion." In the one game I was fortunate enough to see Caldwell play, he did n'hing at the bat, but he impressed me as a good hitter even in failure. He is not fast and has a peculiar style of throwing. It is just possible Caldwell will be one of the highest priced collegians ever to enter the majors, if the nresent competition for his services 670 Ton Commercial 895 1 Ton Boy 1245 $1595 6yL 2 Toq AbomtPricm dwd $770 Ton Deluxe Panel Complete b.

Baskin outstepped too rivals from New England, Col dflipr of Brown. and McDonald of Apoly Cross, in the final heat in 7 4 5 seconds. In a nip and tuck finished marred by too energetic use of elbows. Phil Edwards, dusky middle distance star of New York university, defeated Eddie Swinburne of the New York A. C.

by half a yard in the Brefney half mile race. Edwards, blocked and elbowed by his rival as he tried to pass him on the last turn, barely was able to get in front at the tape, which he broke in the good time of one minute 57 seconds. Swinburne was booed by the crowd for his tactics after taking the lead on the next to the last lap and battling to keep Turning in one of the fastest two miles of the indoor season, Leo Lermond, sturdy young Boston A. A. star, captured a handicap race at this distance in decisive fashion after conceding advantages ranging from 25 to 150 yards to a field of 40 runners.

Lermond was clocked in 9 minutes, 24 seconds. Russell Pavne. University of Pennsylvania, who 'had a 25 yard handicap, started out to make It interesting for LermonJ but was forced to quit when he lost a shoe on the seventh lap. Lermond raced the rest of the field dizzy and finished 100 yards ahead of his nearest rival. Arthur Farmer, of the Millrose A.

Baskin. former Alabama hurdler now representing the New York C. turned in fast time 7when he won his heat in 7 4 5 seconds, only a fifth second short of the world's indoor record. Colgate University took the measure of Yale by a close margin in a three cornered mile relay in which Maryland's chances were blasted by a fall. The Elis were off in front but Van Horn, second Colgate runner, jumped into a lead that his team mates, Stollwerck and Roll, were able to hole', in spite of the closing challenges of their Yale rivals.

The going was of the hardest kind, with both bovs swinging fast and often and nefer letting up in their efforts. The three rounds were crowded with plenty of action, but the end found Meil the stronger of the two and getting the unanimous decision of Referee Joe Capristo and Judges "Chic" Feldman and Sam Druck.
