First Time in History Of School That
Eleven Has Not eeen Defeated.
For the first time In the history Of
the Marshalltown high school football
eleven has gone thru an entire season
without defeat. On it's record the
1916 eleven ranks with the best in the
state. and while the championship
never will be determined, the Marshall
town eleven's claim is as good as that
of any other school.
Marshalltown, Sioux City, West Des
Moines. Algona, and Fort Madison,

but the three first named were held
to tie games by teams which had been
defeated. Algona and Fort Madison,
however, have not met the stronger
teams of the state. and it is doubtful II
they are in class with the others,
The defeat ci Fort Dodge by Aigona
Thursday was due solely to the poor

as a result suffered double defeat.

when it met East Waterloo. defeating a

In Cedar Rapids, however. N arshall-
town met a rejuvenated team, which
appeared at it's best in the last game

in eastern Iowa this year.

Team Work Wins Games.
The success of the team this year has
been due mainly to the excellent team
work. According TO opposing players.
coaches and officials the defensive
work Of the local school has not been
excelled in the state this year. The
Interference built up by Coach Sanford
has been perfect, and the team play
has been the feature Of practically
every game on the schedule.
Beginning the season with an eleven
composed largely of inexperienced men.
Coach Sanford has built up machine
which has never been excelled in the
local school, Other coaches have had
better material to work with, but no
coach has ever, obtained such satisfac-
tory results. The old beef trust team
! Of 1909, with such stars as Kent. kirk,
and Perry, which piled up scores
against the best teams in the state,
working behind line of heavyweishts
like the Powell brothers Lounsberry,
the Hull brothers, and Johnson, was
the only team Of previous years which
could make claim to state honors, but
that aggregation was the result of sew
eral years Of organization and train
ing.
Sanford Works Wonders.
Coach Sanford's task was a mopu-
mental one, and he worked wonders
with the material available.in the early
season. The success of the team has
been almost entirely due to his excel
lent work, as he has perfected a ma
chine capable of coping with the
strongest offense and which was pow
erful enough to pile up scores on some
Of the strongest teams in the state.
Considering results, no coach in Iowa
has shown more ability or has gained
greater admiration from the home
partisans or the opposing elevens for
clean sportsmanship, honest football.
and coaching ability than Sanford.

But He Came Back.

In this same hotel, which is sort
of headquarters for the officers from
across the seas, report was circulat-
ed one night of the death Of a young
flying corps captain. He had often
been in the "club." and only few
days before had "swanked' quite bit
about the easy life he was living. All
he had to do was to take new machines
across the channel and turn them
over to the aviators at the front. In
this way he spent about every other
day In London, much to the envy of
the other fellows lover there" who
were longing for the sights Of town.
But now Gil was gone and company
of his friends drank silent toast to
his memory.
Three days later Gil created cOnster-
nation at the club by appearing very
much alive and as hale and hearty rs

of his friends, "gO back where you be-

In Australia all males between eighteen and
sixty years liable to military service In time
of war. according to article by Bertram
Stevens I'm Golfers Weekly. Every boy not
physically unfit passes into the junior cadet force
and undergoes physical training and elementary
drill for two years: at fourteen becomes n senior
cadet and serves four years. completing 40 drills
each year; at eighteen enters the citizen sOldery
and is liable for 16 days training every year for
seven wears and parade in the eighth year.
At the end Of 1914. three years after fhe
pulsOry-traning law went into effect Australia
had more than $1,000 senior cadets. about 4S.OOO
junior cadets in training together with $1,000
citizen soldiers. That country has n population
of little more than 5.OOOOOO-about many
persons as live in New York city proper.
BY 1893, Australia will be a democracy in which
every healthy citizen has been trained to take his

The principal difficulty about the inception Of
the compulsory system arose from the boys them
selves. The Australian is hHlfwHr between the

and hates To call n man "sr." At first many Of the
boys resented discinne. their Pasy-gOing parents

Is no choice In the service each man Is at liberty
to decide whether he would like to belong to the

have to serve for 90 days; field and mountain
tiIlerymen IS days. engineers. Is days; transport
men, AZ days. and ambulance men, GO days. The
cavalry and all the forces of the auszug have to

IanGwehr forces now have their exercises every

desirous of advancing to higher grades.
Irregular rife practice each year is required Of
every soldier and II man does not attain the
required mark he is ordered to do special prac-

These rigid rules, and the natural enthusiasm or
the Swiss for rifle shooting, are responsible for
the unrivaled position they hold in the world as
crack shots. There is hardly n village which has
not its rifle club. and local. cantonal and federal
shooting matches are held at regular intervals.
