Lysaght, of the Des Moines station,
was here to install the new station
Heretofore recruiting locally has been
dor3 by opening a station for few,
weeks at q time.
The new law governing enlistments,
which became effective Nov. l, permits
young men over IS to enlisttn the reg
ular army for one year. instead OF
three, and this is resulting in many
more enlistments, according to Ser
geant Lysaght.
The government is not encouraging
enlistments for longer/than this pc
riod, the sergeant says. After serving
a year in the army, and gaining prac-
teal knowledge of army life. the re-
cruit is placed on the reserve list for
six years, subject to call only in the
event OF war. During the reserve NSt
period the recruits are paid s24 annu-

Another feature of the new law.

eoardman and Williams Houses.
That the same man or men who en-
tered the Boardman and Williams
homes on Monday night also entered
the home of ]. H. Waters, 10 South
Third avenue,-on the same night. That
the ntruders did some peculiar things
and seemed more keen for food than
money, was discovered by the report
of what they did in the Waters home.
The entire downstairs at the Wat
ters home was turned upside down by
the marauders Pictures were taken
from the walls, every drawer in the
three downstairs rooms pulled out, but
all that was missed were some apples
from the kitchen. The burglars went
upstairs into the room where Clifford
Waters was sleeping, and took two
pairs Of trousers from a chair near the
boys bed. They took the trousers
downstairs and secured So cents which
was in a pocket Of the garments This
change and the apples were all that
the men secured.
A jar of butter belonging to Mrs. ].
L. Williams was found in the sink in
the Waters kitchen. A paper sack
which had contained bananas and had
been at the Williams home was also
found at the Waters house. Traces
Of plaster which had evidently been
brought in by the men were also found
at the Williams, Waters. and Board
man houses, and a stick covered with
plaster taken from building material
at the Deaconess hospital, had evident
ly been used TO pry up the window at
Waters. At the Waters home the
kitchen light was left burning and the
outside door open.

sHAkEuPs IN RAPIDS ELEVEN.
Coach Finger Hopes to End Year With
Victory Over Marshaltown.

Cedar Rapids, Nov. 22.-Bearing in
mind the fact that Cedar Rapids high
school wants TO end up its football
season with a victory over Marshall
town, Coach Finger has ordered
shakeup OF the Tiger team. Whether
this will be permanent remains to be
seen. but the coach is determined to
break up the jinx or whatever it is
that is following the team.
The change in the team will prob
ably place Captain Ferguson at half.
He has been working at quarter but
is needed in one of the wing positions
Of the back field. Mohrba cher will be
moved from full back to the other half,
ard Dave Fidler will be seen at full.
HIS work in handling forward passes
against Davenport practically won him
this place, altho he is one Of the most
feared tacklers on the team. hammers
will be changed from half back to
quarter back. 1t looks as II Lundeman
will be delegated to the sidelines for
tho time being. The coach was not at
al pleased with his work in last Sat
urday's contest. In the line Moeller
will be switched from guard to
Turner's tackle and either Turner or
possible that Letovsky may be used at
Tanners end.
Ever since the Iowa City game the
eleven has been suffering from de-
c:ded slump Coach Finger attributes
i. to the fact that the men are not
pulling together. At the first Of the
season the wearers Of the orange and
black were sailing along in champion
ship FORM and then came Ames. Since
then they have not shown their early
fall form. The men knew that they
were playing good football and maybe
ii went to their heads. At any rate
something disastrous happened The
men who starred in one game played
kindergarten football in the next. So
the coach has made the switch in
hopes that it will put new fight in the
eleven.
Davenport was the last snag the
locals bumped up against when they
were beaten at that city 20 to o.. They
were simply outfought. The pre-game
cope was all upset. Clinton had beaten.
Davenport "a to 0, and Iowa City won
from Clinton 33 to 0. Cedar Rapids
beat Iowa City 10 to 0, so according to
figures they were about 80 points
stronger than Davenport. But "the best
Of dope is oft upset" for look what
happened. The Tigers played very in
consistent football, their prowess be-
ing only momentary. In the last quar-
ter Captain Ferguson was hurt and
was forced to retire from the contest.
hammers stepped into his shoes and
with the only really long lived squirt Of
the game the Tigers carried the ball
from their own 10-yard line to Daven-
! ports 1n-yard line series OF sue
cessful forward passes were used to a
large extent to gain this ground.
Orange and black linesmen reported
that Davenport had Tearing back

No game is scheduled for next Sat
| urday. the high school ending their
season a week from Thursday with
