it bears little resemblance to the ordt-

shaped like cross with the top part

bands across their hands and by snap

catcher and was also full of tricks He
was always quiet but when he talked

SPORTS ARE BOOSTED BN
FRENCH GENERAL.

GENERAL DE NIAUDHUY'S great
popularity in the French army is
attributed to the fact that he is a sport
advocate. He has contributed more
than any other general officer to the
development of athletics in the garri-
sons.
Every regiment stationed at Saint
NfthieI during his stay there had two
football teams and the general never
missed a match. He also encouraged
boxing and foot racing. Berretrout. the
champion mile runner of the army, was
one. of the men selected by him as ath-
Ietic trainer of the troops
The general was a frequent spectator
at the training boxing bouts and did
not disdain a round or two himself with
the gloves. He had learned the French
system from Charlemont and proved an
apt pupil in the English style.

KNOWLEDGE PAY tIIMsWELL.

GINCE leaving school last year Char
ley Brickley, the Harvard star, has

Brickley is a canny boy who. it
seems, always progresses in business as
he did on the gridiron-with his eyes
open. He earned his way through
school and once out of Harvard kept
his wits working. Brickley derived his
income from royalties on his square

the kicking department of Navy and
Penn State, from writing feature sto-
ries about football and descriptive sto-
ries of big games and by using his
noodle in other ways.
