MARION YOUTH SERVING
IN WAR WRITES HOME
Robert Matter Describes Conditions
i'm Western FrOnt-Winter Has
Already Set in.

MARION. Ind, Dec 3.-Relatives
in Marion yesterday received a let
ter from Robert Matter. youngest
son Of Philip Matter of Marion, now
serving as a member of the volun-
teer American ambulance corps with
the French army. The letter, which
bears the date of Nov. II. was writ
ten somewhere in France" accord
ing to army regulations, and was re-
ceived by the young mans mother
here today.
Young Matter has been in the ser
vice three months. and is enjoying
his experiences very much. He drives
a motor ambulance for the French
and assists in picking up the dead
and wounded after each engagement.
In his letter he describes a weird ex-
perience in driving his car. loaded
with wounded down the longest and
steepest mountain road in France.
The trip was made at night, his cleo
trio lights were bad, and he was
forced to descend the long mountain
in the light Of the lantern carried by
a muleteer walking ahead Matter
says the winter has already started
in France.
The weather is such that from
this time forward he believes the
warfare Will be confined largely to
the trenches. Matter and his COM
panions are quartered in the school
house in a little village on the noun
tains, and sleep at night on stretch
ers from their ambulances. Many a
dead man has occupied these same
stretchers, but the sturdy American
college men. now hardened to the
horrors of war, think little OF such
circumstances.
In recent cOmmunique. as the
French say, Matter and his compan-
ions were especially mentioned for
bravery.

the city and country surrounding.
The tabernacle, now about cOmplet-

speaks for itself, that there is much
interest in the coming gospel meetings

ison Squad-Next Games With
Missouri Valley and OnaWa

The Denison high school football
team played their first game OF the
season at the athletic park on the col
lege campus on Saturday afternoon.
when they walloped the Carroll high
school team to the tune of 81 to o. 1t
was a great game from Denison's point
of view, but poor exhibition OF foot
ball from start to finish on the part
Of the visiting team. Carroll was
simply outclassed and was unable to
nut up any resistance to Denison's
speedy team which seemed to be able
to score at will.
The lineup of the Denison team at
the beginning Of the team was as FOL.
lows: McHenry, quarter; Harold
Poole fullback: Joe Finn. left half;
Gordon Locke. right half; Lenahan.
Lally, right end: Eldor Lehfeldt, left
end: Harold Laub (captainD. right
tackle; William Wearmouth, left
tackle; John Helsley, right guard:
George Brodersen. left guard Percy

an opportunity to work out during the
game and the following substitutions
we're made: Paul Gary for Lehfeldt:
Lefeldt for Poole; Bassett for Brod-
sen; Henry Laub for Helsley: Brod-
ersen for Cavett: Faul for McHenry:
Giss for Henry Laub: Poole for Finn;
Strahan for Harold Laub.
The team which played Carroll was
made up of all new players with the
exception of five men who played on
last years team. but none OF them
played in positions which they played
last year. The game commenced
promptly at o'clock. Carroll winning
the toss and received the ball at the
north goal. The visitors were unable
to gain much ground against Denison's
stiff opposition and were soon forced
to punt Denison began scoring from
| the beginning and kept it up during
the entire game, 1t was a slow game.
however, probably on account OF the
warm weather and the fact that 1t was
the first game of the season had some
effect on the individual players. Some
Of the new players on Denison's team
showed up well and some star work
developed among the five players OF
