MIAMI and Globe have organized
" soccer teams and It is reported
that they are playing a good brand
of football. If the game is given
proper support here, it will be pos
sible to bring outside elevens to FL
Paso for a series Of games. The
Globe United team is playing a re-
maIkably fast game and won from
Miami In a recent contest.
N0GALES fans will miss the
Seventh and 10th infantry
regiments when they are brought
back to Fort Bliss. Arrangements
were under way for a winter base
ball league at Nogales in which
both regiments had entered teams.
FRANK BAKER, better known as
"Home Run" is likely to join
the new Federal league team in New
York next season and Sam Crane,
veteran sport writer, says it viii
be a good move for the American
league. He believes Bakers value
to a team is overrated and that the
fat salary he will require will prove
a big load for the Feds to carry.
EEDERALS are making a bid to
grab Hugh Jennings, of the
Tigers, as manager of the team
which will represent New York IN
the league next year. Jennings says
he won't make the jump. Harry
Sinclair, "angel" of the new team,
says he will and Harry seems to be
quite confident of getting the De-
troiter.
HOWARD DREW has left Cali
fornia and announces he will
take a good position at Wanamaker's
New York store and, incidentally,
compete for the MilIrose A. c. All
athletes of the Millrose A C. are
drawn from the big department
stores and one cannot help wondering
whether Drew was hired to compete
for the Millrose A. c. OF work for
the store. The betting is that the
competition was made a condition of
getting the job and that is viola
ton of A. A. u. rules. But the A
A. o. won't see If that way, for it
never finds real fault with Few
York athletes.
NEW YORK state boxing commits
sion has discovered a rev stunt
of the boxing promoters, to avoid
paying their full percentage to the
state. A cheap ticket is sold at the
door and put into the ticket box
Once inside, the fight fan can az
range for a more expensive seat,
paying cash to one of the ushers.
This extra cash doesn't figure in the
gate receipts on which the state per
centage is paid, nor does it figure
IN the receipts out of which the
boxers draw their share, but is just
so much more profit for the pro-
motors. Now the commission is
sending an inspector and five assis-
tants to all fights to take care of
the receipts and make sure that the
state gets its full share

Penn State Winter Term.

The NEWS heartily recommends
that young men cannot possibly
spend the time this winter more
profitably than by attending State
College. The cost is small, and
the class is composed chiefly of
livewire young men from farms.
You can gain something by a
winters association with other
young men tnat will assist you
as long as you live. A term
spent in this manner broadens
one to a degree that can not be
done in any other ways
The Winter Courses in Agricul-
ture and Home Economies will be

Bulletin outlining these courses
is now ready for distribution.
Last year two hundred and fif-
teen students availed themselves
OF this practical course. Are you

The Land Of By.and-By.

There is a land, as I've heard
tell, where nothing's ever done;
the people therin do dwell, no
work have yet begun. "Tomor-
row" is the watchword there,
and Pretty soon" the cry the
name of this unpleasant land?-
the Land of By-and-By.
Procrastination there is king;
he rules with a high hand, but
makes no laws or anything to
benefit the land. The lessons
they are never learned-no use
to question why; the chores are
left unfinished in the Land of By
and-By.
And if You put things off and
say you'll do them pretty soon,
and shirk your tasks from day to
day, perhaps some afternoon,
they'll take You off to this bad
land-no friend will heed your cry
and there is no Tomorrow in the
Land of By-and-By.

quently. When he was here sew
eral weeks ago, he prosecuted, it
is said, at least two men. We
publish this merely as news, not
that we intend to give warning
to culprits to take to the tall tim
Der. So many subscribers COM
plain to US that game is illegally
killed and they will be interested
in knowing that some effort is
being made to stopit. The News
has done what it could to teach
respect for law. Time and again
we have warned that it does not
pay to run the risk of prosecution
for the sake of a turkey or a few
squirrels, to say nothing of the
violation of self respect. Per-
sistent violators of the game laws
soon call down suspicion on them
selves, and the sportsmen who
are hurt by the inroads made on
game out of season, or by the H.
legal quantity killed in season,
cannot be censured if they put
the wardens wise. We would
save every man from trouble if
we could by having him respect
the rights of other hunters. We
regret to hear of prosecutions;
but we certainly have no sympa-
thy for the man who gets caught.

to the Bank at Martinsburg, w.
Va, to know if the deposits had
fallen off there since West Vir-
ginia went dry. The reply was
that there is not one person drunk
on the streets there now, where
there were dozens before, and
the deposits in the hanks in nine
months under prohibition increas
ed $120,00O. There was less de-
mand for help last winter from
the destitute than ever before.
Every thing is far better under
prohibition. The same condition
prevails wherever it exists. The

if we do our duty in the fear of
