Phil King and bring out championship
Cardinal team. 1t is known that there
has been trouble in the Wisconsin camp.
due largely to friction between Coaches
Curtis and Cochems, the former half
back and end, brother of the COchems
who first made the name famous in
Badger football circles and who after
ward went east to try for one OF the
big teams as line man. Apparently
the entire fault lies with the authori-
ties, who appointed Cochems to coach
the backs, giving him the impression
that as coach he was Curtis equal in
the management of the team. This has
apparently hurt Wisconsin and Curtis,
too. There cannot be two masters OF
one team without bitter, team-destroy-
ing friction, the critics argue. So the
alumni system has not been given fair
test and the opponents of the system
and men favoring the securing of an
other eastern coach are again active.
Curtis has not been given credit for the
work he has done in Wisconsin. In
inner Badger circles the talk was that
he was splendid man to develop a
team. On the field he was not as yet
the general who knew what to tell his
team between halves in the effort to
turn the tide. This was due more than
anything else, it is thought, to inexperi-
ence end little worry at his first big
venture Another season and this would
have passed of. Naturally following
Phil King, older players would criticise
and make the work awkward. The adj
vent of rival in the coaching circles
only complicated the problem fer the
young coach and tied his hands in way
that is regretted by friends of the
Badgers. 1t was believed tina. Cochems
had the better mind for directing play
after Curtis had developed his team.
Curtis developed a strong team last
year. There was drive to the work Of
his backs that was wearing and even
tually irresistible. That Wisconsin was
not a championship team was due to
the fact that it was not we'll balanced
all over-it lacked, for instance, punt
catcher-an up-to-6ate backfield man,
finished in every detail, with love of
the back-field excitement which enables
him to handle punts, make his tackles,
run back the kicks, dodge ends and so
on. With such q man III the back field
Curtis last years team, with its usual
Badger fighting spirit, it is thought,
would have been invincible. With all
the internal friction. coaches like Yost
Of Michigan and Williams of Minnesota
anticipate fierce struggle with Wiscon-
sin this season.

Modern

men. Many have attempted the feat,
but few have been notably successful.
1t is reputed to be one of the most
thankless offices in naval life-to be
detailed to teach young firemen how to
shovel coal Every man, of course,
can shovel coal, but exceedingly few
can shovel it to the satisfaction of a
naval instructor.
A young fellow brought suddenly I'M
der naval discipline after having lived
a free life ashore will find most things
not at all to his liking and will also
find it remarkably easy to get into diff
Guilty. He is quite likely to forget that
the critical individual who is finding
fault with his method of grasping a
shovel handle and is no puriSt in his
use of the mother tongue is an officer
petty, no doubt, but an officer in the
navy Notwithstanding. In such an en-
vironment and in such a temperature
it does not require an act of violence
on the part of the novice to consti-
tute actual OffenSe. An impatient ex-
clamation or rash movement may
precipitate disaster.
The coal must be spread over the
fire in manner calculated to get from
it all the heat it is capable of giving in
the shortest possible time. Not SHOW
elful must be wasted. The novice is
inclined to rail at Uncle Sans par
simony. Before he has learned how to
do the trick properly-long before he
wins a grunt of approval from his in
structor-he discovers that it is not
stinginess, but prudence. Knowing
how TO obtain a maximum of steam
pressure from a minimum expenditure
of fuel has bridged many yawning
chasm and turned more than one inn
pending disaster into victory.
If this scientific manipulation of coal
were all, the would be fireman might
look forward cheerfully to the near
prospect of relief from his taskmaster,
but this is only beginning He must
now learn to keep his fire clean and
free from everything that will inter-
fere with the heat making process.
This seems to be a simple matter. but
one who has tried it and failed would
say otherwise. Like so much else that
must be learned. there is but one right

way to do it. BY the time the novice
has become accustomed to that way he
has probably moderated his disposition
to resent his teachers criticism. Be
sides that, he is very weary and hot.
In time, of course, he will become bet
ter able to work in a temperature OF
40 degrees. but before ne arrives at
that stage of immunity he will often
think of the superior quality of the air
of the upper deck. and If he is a trihe
sentimental he may even dream of
green fields and brooks.
There is little theory about his
training. He actually handles the tools
of his trade as he will have to do when
he goes to sea. A well prepared fire
man is a man of vast knowledge con-
corning fires, boilers and engines. and
nowadays he is expected to have
bowling acquaintance with electricity.
Most firemen in the course of time pick
up much knowledge about boilers, and
some of them become expert engi-
neers In the early days of steam nav
| igation ffreman's opportunity for adj
vancement was practically wanting.
Now it is entirely different. Not only
may a fireman's ability obtain for him
any one of a number of petty offices in
his own branch, but he actually enjoys
all the chances of promotion that are
open to any other enlisted man in the
navy. There are cases on record in
the British navy of men who have risen
from the stokehole to be commanders
of vessels.
Besides his pay of s35 month, the
fireman of a United States ship OF war
is entitled to all the outfit and ra-
tions of the seaman gunner of the
same grade. He is provided with an
ample supply of clothing and is al
lowed a ration of 80 cents a day dur
ing his enlistment. If he serves thirty
years he is pensioned and is given
three fourths of the highest pay he has
ever received. In spite of the hardship
attendant upon the calling. there is no
lack of candidates. 1t is possible that
this is due in a measure to the fact
that the physical requirements are not
so rigidly insisted upon as in the case
of the naval seaman.
