THE FLAG

Stars of the early dawning, set in a
field of blue,
Stripes of the sunrise splendor, GRIM
son and white of hue:
Flag of our fathers fathers, born on
the field of strife,
Phoenix of fiery battle, risen from hui
man life.
Given for God and freedom-sacred, in
deed, the trust,
Left by the countless thousands re-
turned to the silent dust!
Flag of a mighty nation waving aloft
unfurled,
Kissed by the sun of heaven, caressed
by the winds O. the world;
Greater than kingly power, greater
than all mankind
Conceived in the need of the hour, in
spired by the Master Mind.
Over thy living children, over the
laureled grave,
Streaming on high in the cloudless sky,
banner our fathers gave;
Flag of newborn era, token of every
right
Wrung from a tyrant power, unawed
by a tyrantts might;
7 ing again a menace outhung from a
foreign shore
! Getting again the challenge so brave
ly answered of yore;
Under thy spangled folds thy children
await to give
All that they have or are, that the flag
they love shall live.

One night Pete went to the Y. M.

Pete began a sentence IN a most en-

No sooner had the blasphemous
words been uttered than several
voices were heard in protest. One man
said
Here, Pete, cut that out. Don't

Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear

While to her breast her son she

Then breathes a few brave words and

Football Stars in Army

AVER, Mass, Nov. 5.-Charley Coo
lidge. the old Harvard end who is
now in the army and who has been
coaching the football team at Camp
Devens here, declares that the train
ing camps Of the national army will
have some of the best teams in the
country.
To show just what he meant by the
assertion. Coolidge led his Camp Dew
ems gridiron warriors against the Har.
ward informal" team few days ago
and the soldier boys held the college
boys scoreless in warmly contested
affair. The game ended a tie, 90,
and while the Harvard boys showed
aggressive spurts the soldiers held so
well that at no time was the ball car
ried far into Camp Devens' territory.
That the soldiers were able to make
so good showing after inadequate
training and little enough time for
practice seems to indicate that excel
lent football material may be found
in the national army camps. Coolidge
declares that with proper coaching
and equipment the men he has been
handling would form a team to make
any of the best varsities go some.
Football may not have so flourish

ST. LOUIS, Nov 3-When Presi-
dent Phil Ball of the st. Louis Browns
drafted Byron Houck. pitcher. for next
season there were sickers in some
quarters and many believed that
Houck had never a chance to make
good in the American league.
Those that scoffed had remembered
Houck when he was given a try-out
with the Athletics some while back
Connie Mack looked him over thor
oughly, decided he wouldn't do and
shipped him back to the minors. Last
season Houck played with Portland
in the Pacific Coast league.
After winning more than two-thirds
of the forty games he pitched for Port.
land last season Houck began to feel
that he was worth another chance in
fast company. When President Ball
was on the coast recently he heard so
much praise of Houck that he had no
doubt about the youngsters value as q
big league recruit. Ball believes that
Houck will win many games for the
Browns next season.
While with the Athletics Heuck's
chief defect was lack of control His
Witness alone was enough to curse
his chances and Connie Mack didn't
take time to look at anything else
he had On the coast Houck has cor
rected his poor control and the arm
that seemed sore at times must be all
right now because Byron worked hard
enough all last season. He is still
young enough to go quite few years
in fast company and he is big and
strong and always in the best shape.

New Basketball
Rules Speed Up
Style of Play

Thirty basketball coaches recently
gathered in the Springfield (Mass.) Y.
NJ. C. A. college gymnasium to hear
William H. Ball. member of the ma
tional basketball rules COMMITTEES. ex-
plain the code for the coming season.
One of the most important changes
in the rules this year is the establish
ment Of an end zone. BY this rule the
space two feet behind the basket on
either side is fair territory which
moves the basket into the field of
play. This is expected to prove a
radical change, as 1t will give the
players chance to play around and
under the basket more than is now
possible. A substitute entering the
game must report to the scorer as well
as the referee. The phraseology de-
scribing what constitutes a dribble,
and out-of-bounds ball was more clear
~ defined. This year a timekeepers
whistle is the official close of play
thus obviating many arguments which
have arisen in the past because of the
delay which often occurs between the
timers and referees whistle at the
close Of the game.
