SOCCER CATCHES
FANCY Of FANS
United EMPIRES Will Play
10Th Infantry Again on
Sunday Afternoon.

Soccer football is catching on" fast
in FL Paso- The game was introduced
here through the grammar schools
leagues, which play a remarkably good
brand Of soccer, considering the youth
OF the players.
Camp Cotton boasts Of a crack soccer
team belonging to the 18th infantry
while the Sixth Infantry is now arrang-
ing to field an eleven and the soldiers
at Fort Bliss are showing a lot OF in

team now in the field is that OF the
United Empire club. but there is talk
Of a couple Of good teams beinf formed
to represent commercial houses, in
which case a senior soccer league with
two or three city teams and as many
army elevens is quite possible for the
near future.
Soldiers Have Fast Team.
Last Sunday afternoon saw the first
senior game Of the season at Camp
Cotton when the 18th infantry eleven
defeated the United Empires, four goals
to none. The soldiers showed a re-
markedly fast forward line and the
work Of Ryan, Gaffney and Haggerty
featured
The Q. E players have arranged for
a return game to be played on Sunday
afternoon at Camp Cotton at 3 o'clock.
Lieut. o. E Michaelis has taken charge
OF the 18th team and promises that
the soldier eleven will be even faster
and have more team play than was evil
LInenDs for Sunday.
All members OF the Z. E team are
requested to report on the field at
2-50 o'clock Following are the nneups
for the two teams:

argument against college men playing dur

III q man is natural ball player see
no harm in HIN spending his vacation play

for him TO coop himself up in some stuffy
office. or working at another occupation
where the remuneration is much less than
playing baseball"
Captain Nash said when asked TO give his
opinion
college men 10 play baseball under the
Tfghf conditions IN the summer consider
the playing Of the game just as legitimate
as any other occupation open to men during
the sumner"
Dr. Frank Sexton. former-vsrsity baseball

that Hal ScOvil, the best man in that
Yale backfield, had TO be taken out
after the first quarter because of a
dislOcated thumb. His substitute had
not been drilled in the plays the way
he had been and also, being a substi-
tute. could not be expected to figure
as quite as capable man. The other
fellows left in were a bit at a loss with
one Of the combination gone. So that
sudden slump is explained easily.

nuaI game at New Haven and claw the
Bulldog ina manner which would leave
no doubt in the minds Of the Eli legions
that the Nassau university is a factor
in the gridiron game. That these
hopes were justified can be gathered
from a study OF the records Of the rival
teams this autumn. Princeton, under
the coaching system outlined by

most successful seasons in the history
Of football at the New Jersey institu-

In sharp contrast. the showing made

feat by Colgate there was a complete

finished second in the pennant race,
drew $4,000 persons at home at an
average price of nearly IS cents, paid
$4,000 indebtedness and yet paid a
dividend of $4,000 to the stock
holders. Not so bad for the first
year in class AA baseball.
