Second Lieutenant Pelham d. Glassford,
artillery corps, is to leave us on the first
of the week, when he will go to Chicago
to serve as aid-de-camp on the stan Of
Major General A w. Greeley, commanding
the northern division. On Wednesday
Lieutenant Glassford was asked by wire
If the appointment would be accepted. on
the same day he replied in the affirmative
and on Thursday was apprised by wire
that he had been duly appointed and that
orders would follow by mail. AS General
Greeley does not retire on account of the
age limit until March, 1908, Lieutenant
Glassford's detail will cover a period of
one year and three months Since his
arrival In the garrison two years agO,
Lieutenant Glassford has Identified him
self with the athletics OF the post and
it has been mainly due to his untiring
efforts that different sports have re-
eeived such healthy impetus and that d.
versihed entertainment has been offered
both officers and enlisted men.
It is the intention of the athletic COM
mittee that the preliminaries in the tug
of-war contests should be pulled between
the halves of the basket ball games that
have already heen scheduled between the
post and outside teams, and when the list
or competitors has been narrowed Gown
10 two, that these shall null for the prize
on the night of the Goth inst, when the
/ famous FIVE OF the Kansas City Athletic
| tion has been decided upon in order that
no team shall pull twice In the same night
The athletic committee is seriously con-
sidering the closing Of the schedule with
outside basket ball teams on the last of
/ this month with a view OF organizing q
! post league, with games between teams
| representing the different organizations
| of the post. II is thought that such an
/ arrangement would create more interest in
| the garrison ard stimulate the Snort.
