'TAN HAY" ON
SPORT AND WAR
Famous Soldier and Author Says Sport
Teaches a Man How to Take
Punishment

Robin Baily in the San Francisco
Bulletin; That the British army would
not have been able to grimly grin and
bear the punishment in the first chap
ter of the war, when the Germans
hurled back five shells for every one
unless the men had been trained men
tally and physically by sport, is the
encouraging message Captain Ian HAY
Beth Of the Argyle and Sutherland
Highlanders brings to the athletes OF
America.
The visitor is better known as Lar
Hay, the author of The First Hun
dred Thousand" He has had practi
cal experience OF both sport and war
At Cambridge university, in time of
peace, he was captain of the st
Johns college eight and was tried in
the varsity boat but the combination
of his great height, feet 2 inches
and slight weight, 14O pounds, was
too much of a handicap. He played
Rugby for his college. He learned
about war during a year at the front
when things We're worst for the allies
He claimed that not only would the
British armies not have fought 50
sturdily had they not been athletes In
the past but that they could not con
tinue now without refreshing innocent
sport in between the grimmer rounds
with bayonet and shell
Whenever the men get a chance. 81
he explains, they kick a football!
around 1T is fine exercise for loos-
ening out the muscles and points,
cramped by long confinement in the
trenches. During the longer rests we
are supposed to get a month in every
three to recuperate. The officers
organize football competitions like the
league and cup tournament played in
time Of peace In English-speaking
countries"
Next 20 football the favorite pas.
time is boxing Most Of the men dor
the gloves when they have an oppor.
tunity, and occasionally there is a first.
class bout for men who have in the
past won fame in the ring. No matter
how celebrated the contestants may be,
they can never have entertained more
appreciative spectators than these war.
worn soldiers, whose. weather-beaten
faces are banked up high in serried
rows around the roped ring.
when the American troops begin to
arrive there ought to be some interest
ing sport with an international flavor
behind the lines" suggested the visitor,
with a Lauder-like twingle in his Scotcr
eye. "A tug-of.war or boxing match,
American VS.. Britain. ought to have an
the thrill inseparable from competitions
between John Bull and Uncle sam"
Captain Beth claimed that sport had
helped TO preserve the volnteer spirit
in the British army. The men were noT
conscripts. but, as Of old. while dis
cipline was strictly maintained at. work
the officers and men became friends in
play. The Canadians indulge In lot Of
baseball, and old-country regiments
have an occasional game Of cricket He
played once for his regiment. the Ar
gyle and Sutherland Highlanders
against the Royal Medical corps. He had
heard that some Of the cavalry officers
back at the base had played polo. but
had not seen any OF il.
