BATTLE ON
CRlDIRON
SATURDAY

! There is something doing every min
ute in the realm of sport With the
baseball star waning and due to set
locally, Sunday, the football sun will
rise day previous when the Chicka-
sha high school and Lindsay high
school teams viii clash in the first
gridiron battle of the year, Saturday
afternoon.
1t will be then for the first time that
the real strength or weakness of the
local eleven will be doped and while
in years agone, Chickasha has had no
trouble in humbing Lindsay, the game
is important, inasmuch as some of the
locals will be at that time under fire
for the first time.
Within the past few days, the pros
poets for the purple and gold have be-
come brighter. Hamilton, having pri-
marily issued an ultimatum to the eff
feet that he was out of the game for
good, has been lured by the thud of
the pigskin and the din Of battle. 1t
vas to Hamilton as the Call of the
Wild" and he could not resist it. He
is back at his own position at full, all
of which has eased the mind Of Pete
Heffner, who is this season coaching
the squad.
The coming back of Hamilton has
shifted Whitaker to end. strengthen
ing that wing by million or so per
cent. Withal it looks like the locals
are yet going to have machine that
will not be compelled to disguise in
any way in order to resemble a foot
ball team.

Modern FortifIcations

The fortifications of Antwerp are
reckoned among the strongest in the
world. The city has been fortified
since the middle Of the sixteenth cen
tury. In 1860, twenty-eight years after
the taxi, ] Of the city by English and
French troops, Brailmont, the noted
Belgian fort builder, supervised the re-
fertilization OF the city, and since 1877
it has had a line of forts well out from
the inner defenses.
The growing efficiency of modern
siege guns, however, compelled the
Belgians If they desired to preserve
their neutrality, to modernize their
defense. In 1907 the government de-
cided to do away With the inner lines
OF walls and replace them with an in
ner line Of forts on the right bank of
the Scheldt. The plan involved. the
barricading of the intervals between
the eight forts with iron barricades
and permanent redoubts. AT the north
and northeast great earthworks were
planned for infantry and bitches which
can be inundated from the Scheldt
we're dug in front of these earthworks.
These forts Sn the left bank Of the
Scheldt are to supplement this inner
line of defenses.
The greatest Importance is attached
to the outerworks. They consist in
part OF new Notifications, in part OF
old forts rebuilt. The work was be-
gun in 1913.
| 1t is probable that this idea was
realized and that the fortifications
system is now practically complete.

five are to the east Of Antwerp; GRAY
