The Home news., 1916-12-29

nearer, nearer, near-here it is My pen stops at the word daily in ex- oectation of the horrible thing. The house receives shock that makes it Eremble to it's foundation, there comes an Immense roar as of hundred can- non firing together. The plaster falls rom the ceiling everywhere in the room, which fills with a white powder, while a hail of fragments strikes the shutters. Something caves in with a great rumble. Everything rattles, Erembles, jolts and seems to fall down ward into chaos, into an inferno of broken things. Then silence.
 The word "work" is traced hastily, almost illegibly, by the nervous hand. 1 write across the sheet: '11 :45, shell on my house." Then I go to the win dow and throw it open. Two military policemen and four or five soldiers are looking up, showing round eyes, and pale, almost idiotic, faces.
 At the left I see my dear colleagues coming toward me. One of them ar- rlves on a bicycle, the others on foot. They too, are pale, and look at me silently, as though were a ghost.
 An entire corner of the house has fallen in, but it is an uninhabited cor her. The shell entered through the roof and exploded inside. The ceiling of my room shows two great holes in the front part and two smaller ones above the bed. But the room, though partly crushed, is intact.
 "What are you doing up there?" shouts Lieutenant Fusco, the adjutant major of the battalion. ''The upper floor is on fire.''
 Really it is false alarm; it is only the dust of a fallen ceiling. This does not keep me from hurrying down to my colleagues, happy in the escape from danger, and even more so from having read on their faces affectionate solidarity for their friend. This satis- faction is worth at least 12-inch shell, especially when it shows itself as Well-bred as that whose untimely end have described.

Van- aszk, senior in the College of Let ters and Sciences at the University of California, says that next summer he'll either break his own record or bust something trying. He holds the title of worlds champion cantaloupe eater. Last summer he worked in Imperial valley. Before his tent he put a marker, and every time he ate canta- ,loupe he added notch. When he got through there were 789 notehes, an average of 26 day. Now he's prac- ticing on oranges and cup custard, just to keep his hand in.

It is an adventure which may honnen even to a newspaper core snondent, A city like Goritz is an El- dorado for the sensation seeker. Yet Ihad the most interesting adventure of my soiourn today, without moving from my table.
 Permit me to tell you about it in de- tail and with precision, divided into three chapters of varying length, and admit that even when one is the prin- cipal parsonage of a story one still has the right to consider oneself from more than one viewpoint.
 Chapter 1.-The Setting.
 Up till September 21 the weather was bad. It was not rain; it was a deluge. The Italian trenches, like those of the Austrians, are all cut into the slopes of mountains and hills; despite the shelters, the rain pours in, forms ditches and flows through them; the trenches become small noisy torrents. To fight in these conditions is not pos sible. The official bulletins express the situation in the words: Bad weather flinders the Operations.'
 Hence a forced truce to the work of destruction Nature takes care of the destruction by a sudden cold wave, dampness that penetrates ones bones and slows up the vital functions.
 But on the 22d the weather deter hines to better itself. The clouds, con- founded in a gray veil, take on forms, thln out, show bits of sky. The day becomes divinely beautiful; the air is hmpld as crystal. One can distinguish every tree, every bush of Podgora, a green mass.

FOOTBALL is COSTLY SPORT
Average Spectator Has No Idea of
Equipment Necessary for Big
Squad of Varsity Men.

The average football spectator has
little idea of the equipment necessary
for a big varsity football squad of 40
men. Manager Lovett of the Penn
eleven has figured out that it costs
approximately $52.55 per player before
the kickoff occurs in the first game of
the season.
Football is more expensive than a
private yacht or polo string, and it
would stagger the average man to
learn that 700 pairs of shoes and
stockings of the most expensive sort
sweaters. jerseys. moleskins, to say
nothing of several hundred footballs,
are required in equipping a big team.
Add to that the fact that several men
have been busy all summer rolling the
gridiron, rakiag it for small stones,
rebedding it with fresh sod, and get
ting the field in general into first-class
condition for the opening.
The upkeep continues throughout
the entire football season, and if foot
ball players drew the salaries that the
diamond stars in the big leagues re-
ceive, there would be no football.

FOOTBALL is ACADEMIC GAME
Schools and Colleges Relied on to
Maintain High Standards of Sports
manship in Its Play.

According to the football rules book,
football, both in play and by tradition
is distinctively an academic game-the
game of schools and colleges. The
friends of the game must accordingly
rely on the schools and colleges for
the preservation of its past traditions
and the maintenance of the high stand
ards of craftsmanship in its play when
are to be expected in a distincuveiy
academic game.
In some sports, it is possible TO Ut
tain reasonable high standards Simply
by the adoption and enforcement OF
rules, but this is not true in football
There are so many players engaged
in action, and the action is so RAPID
and constantly shifting that it is li.-
possible for any official to discover e''
cry possible infraction of the rules. be-
Use of this fact and with the inL'n-
non of unfolding the standards OF tHe
game, the committee on rules mas
adopted the following:
THE football player who intention
ally violates a rule is guilty Of unfair
play and unsportsmanlike tactics ana
whether or not he escapes being pen,
allied, he brings discredit TO the S'ou
name of the game which it is his doly
to uphold"

STRYCHNINE WILL KILL CROW
But Experts Are Asked to Explain
Why Chicken and Quail Are
Immune.

Harrisburg Pa.-Experts in UNIVERSE
ties and colleges of the state have been
asked to inform the state department
of agriculture why strychnine will kin
crows and not affect chickens when
eaten.
The state live stock sanitary board
stirred up the question by sending out
a notice urging that crows be extermi-
mated and giving instructions as to use
of the poison.
Some people wanted to know if
chickens would be harmed by 1t. The
board officials replied that they would
not, and told of the result of an. expert
ment by one man who had written to
the department that he had fed strych-
nine in corn to brown leghorn chick
ems and that they had not minded it a
bit.
When he threw it out for the crows
to eat he had to send out burial parties.
On the other hand, quail did not seem
to mind it particle.

adds. the men had better evacuate it
and lay down in the open.
Most interesting to the officers, in
view Of the fact that the British have
so consistently held ground they have
taken against counter-attacks, is what
Gen. Won Arnim says on the sub
ject.
IF the counter-attacks, which on
account of the situation ought to be
methodlcally prepared, are hurried,
they cost much blood, because the
troops lose their trust In the leaders
if they fail, which nearly always hap
pens" says Gen. ton Armin.
He then complains that the exist
ing telephone system has proved to-
tally inadequate in consequence of the
development of the fighting" and says
the artillery signal system broke
down. The commander asserts that
he has discovered that British aero
planes use sound signals to tell gun
nerS where their shells are falling, and
says the Fourth corps already has
kind of method as complement to the
wireless, which is frequently inter
rupted.
Superiority Of British Airmen.
THE numerical superiority of the
British airmen and the fact that their
machines We're better made are dis
agreeably apparent to us" Gen. Won
Arnim says, and he speaks of
the surprisingly bold procedure of
British airmen, who were often liable
to fire successfully on our troops with
machine guns by descending to with
In few hundred feet of the ground"
He adds that the German antiarcraft
guns could not continue firing ut that
height without exposing their own
troops to the serious danger Of shell
fragments" Before the battle of the
Somme airmen kept at anywhere from
5000 to 10000 feet over the lines on
account of antiaircraft guntire.
Gen. Won Arnim in the docu-
ment warns his infantry to use their
rifles against the daring British
aviators. He says that the ammuni-
ton supply and the artillery are made
quate. and that maps were insufficient
in quantity aud bad as regard details.
Also the supply of horses has reached
the utmost limit. OF the food supply
Gen. Won Aruim says:
mo special difficulties arose. The
supply columns prove sufficient"

HARVARD BIG MARGIN

AS we recall the figures, in
the last four years Harvard has
score 112 points to Yale's g
the scores being 20 to 0, is to .,
SO to 0, and Al to O. In the
same four years Harvard has
scored less than 80 against
Princeton, yet Yale has had all
the better of Princeton in the
four Tiger-BulldOg contests.
Yale has played her poorest
games against Harvard, and
Princeton has done her worst
playing against Yale. Part of
this has undoubtedly been due
to the fact that Princeton had
to meet Yale Immediately after
the Harvard game, while Yale
had to meet Harvard Immediate
ly after the Princeton game.
That one Saturday rest for Har-
ward has been quite a factor;
but not enough to take anything
away from Harvard's undOubt-
ed superior power.-Boston Her
