BOYS Of COMPANY |
WIN HIGH HON0RS
DEFENDING ROGALES AGAINST
APPROACHING ENEMY IN
WAR GAME"


the Second Idaho boys was put to
the test again, when in one Of the
border war games" they were call
ed upon to defend Nogales against
an attack by the invading" First
Connecticut troops But that part of
the story which refers particularly
to the part that Company /, OF
Payette, under command OF Captain
r. L. Shaw, played in the war game,
is better told by Earl Wayland Bow
man, correspondent OF the Capital
News, as follows:
HoNoRS FOR COMPANY ..
Right here's where Company /,
Captain Shaw commanding, got in
some good work.
Major Lewis of the Third battal-
ion, Second Idaho, knew the enc
my was coming-it doesn't matter
how he knew it-but he knew, be-
sides what are scouts for anyhow?
So Major Lewis sent word over
to Captain Shaw:
''The enemy is coming! Engage
'emi"
Captain Shaw scooted. yes that's
the word, scooted his men-Company
|, down a ridge and up a ridge and
got what is called in the army YER
nacular, "a position" 1t was some
humdinger of a position, too, had
shelter for the men and all that
So when the Company 1 men were
all snugly ensconced in their posi-
ton Captain Shaw had fellow
wig-wag to Major Lewis:
Were ready for 'em! Let 'em ar
rive,"
Pretty soon they began to arrive
Ping Pingi Pssst,'' Company 1
was giving them what Sherman said
this cruel war was.
SURPRISE FOR ENEMY.
The enemy was shocked and sur
prised. They didn't know what to
do. They were nonplussed| think it
was. They thought Company 1 was
a whole army by itself so the Off
GERS of the enemy brought up more
of the enemy against the position oc-
cupied by Company l and kept bring
ing them up until Company l hao
a whole battalion of the enemy
down there in the gulch under its
fire-it was an enfilading fire, too,
1 am quite sure and that's the
worst possible kind of fire that can
happen to an enemy. Really the
enemy was in a terrible fix so the
referee came along and practically
said:
Captain Shaw, I'm astonished at
you, Good heavens man-dont XIII
'em all! Don't you see those Com
pany l ginks have already complete
'ly annihilated three whole compan-
les of the blamed fool enemy. Please,
1 implore you cease firing and leave
a few of the enemy for someone else
to shoot"
Alright" Captain Shaw had Just
as we'll have said, I'll tell the
fellows to quit but it's a darned
shame to spoil their fun that way
YOU ought to have known there
wasn't enemy enough in that Con-
necticut bunch to go around among
all the Idaho gang. The next time
kindly see that there is about three
times as much enemy provided so
it'u be sort OF interesting

Uncle Peter Pence, who recently
purchased a handsome Buick Four
through the Moss Mercantile Agency,
and who has been enjoying the same
and permitting his friends to enjoy
it with him, met with little acoi-
dent Tuesday morning when, BY
some miscbance he pressed his
foot upon the soft pedal, pulled the
wrong lever or somehow that way
causing his car to back over the
ourbing and into a wire fence. The
car was slightly damaged and II
is believed that 1t can be depended
upon never to try that sort Of trcs
again.

TABER MILE STAR
 SEEKS NEW LAUREL s
Trainer of Former Brown Star Wants
  Him to Try for 3-4 Mile Mark Next.

New York, Feb. lit is rumored ! that Norman s. Taber, who holds the worlds title for the mile will 20 after the three quarter of a mile rec ord.
 Ed O'COnnor, former Brown uni Versity trainer, who prepared Taber for his successful race at the Har- ward stadium on July 16, 1915, when he accomplished the wonderful 4:12 3-5 for a. mile. is anxious that
 Taber take a try at the three-quarter-
 mile record O'Connor is confident that the former Brown and Oxford (England) university runner can
 easily lower the time now found
 against tn event in the record books. Taber has a remarkable record as a middle distance runner, both in
 this country and in England where he studied at Oxford university as a Rhodes scholar. He was a pace maker for John Paul Jones of Cor nell when the latter lowered the one mile amateur record at the Intercol- legiate games in 1913, after running dead heat with Jones in the mile event the year previous. In 1914 he
 was a member of the Oxford univer-
 sitv four mile relay team which de.
 feated the team in the sensational event of the relay carnival.
 Tn that event the first three relays
 ran comparatively even and Jackson
 of Oxford, and McCurdy of Pennsyl-
 vania finished t.le final mile with less than a foot lead for the English runner. Last year Taber surpassed
 all his previous efforts when he ran
 a special paced mile under A. A. U sanction in 4:12 3-5 establishing a
 new worlds record in both amateur and professional divisions.
 Now O'Connor believes that Taber can lower the ree-quarter-mile rec
 ord as well and the trainers con- tention appears to be well supported
 by Taber's performances in the past
 The three-quarter mile. which is equivalent to 1920 yards, is an un- usual racing distance and there have
 been few attempts made for the rec ord in this event in recent years. The late Tommy Conneff made the outdoor amateur record on August 21, 1895, when he ran the distance in BOP 4-5. The indoor record is held by J. P. Driscoll who hung up 307 at Buffalo, March 15, 1913. The professional record dates back to
 June 30, 1866, when w. Richards of
 Eng1and ran the 1920 yards in 3:07. In his record mile Taber ran
 at the rate of :09 1-2 for three-quar- ters mile.

YALE'S BASEBALL
 STARSLOST ID TEAM
Executive Committee Refuses to ReinState Disqualified Players

New Haven, Feb. 1.-The eXecu- tive committee of the Yale Athletic association decided yesterday that the five prominent athletes who with crew from intercollegiate competition last fall for violating the summer baseball rule cannot represent Yale in sports during the present college year. This action bars Captain Milburn of the baseball team; Harry Le Gore, the football and baseball star, andt William Easton, Spencer Pumpelly anG Robert Rhett, members of the Varsity nine.
 The statement by the committee, of which Professor Robert N. Corwin lH chairman, says in part:
 ''This action is taken with great regret and only after a thorough consideration of all facts in the case, and repeated consultations with Officials of the university, and with representatives of other universities 1 Although the five players violated 1 the rule unintentionally, yet the com 1 mittee has seen no way to overlook the explicit character of the rule; nor has it been able to find any other honorable solution of the matter which does not involve the accept ance, for the present college year, of ; the withdrawal which the five men signed when the question of their eligibility was first raised.
 This decision does not impair the amateur standing in athletics of the men involved. It is their expression of the determined intention of the committee to enforce Yale eligibility rules, and to prevent injury to Yale's name by their violation either 1 through intention, carelessness, of
 ignorance; and the committee has i Eeen convinced after consultation with the officials of the university and with the representatives of other uni- versailles that this intention will be fully served by debarring the men in- Eolved from participation in inter collegiate contests during the present college year." The five athletes played baseball at Quogue, L. l., last summer and re- -ceived their board free for. a short time. When the men discovered that this was in violation of the Yale rules. they tried to remedy the matter by paying their board for the remainder of the summer and receiving no pe- cuniary reward
 While the executive committed would not anlplify it's statement last night, the opinion is general among prominent undergraduates that the athletes will be eligible next year, as the ruling debars the men during the present college year." which closes in June. If this interpretation is correct, undergraduates point out Le Gore will be able to play football in the Fall.
 The action will necessitate the resignation of Captain Milburn of the baseball team, and it is probable, ac- cording to campus gossip, that his successor will be Roland V. Vaughn of Haverhil1, Mass, an outfielder and former Exeter star.
