companies; the advance party. from
three to eight sQuads-about half a
company-sent forward from the sup
port; aud the point, a noncommissioned
officer and three or four men sent for
ward from the advance party. The
advance guard Is also responsible for
the reconnaissance Of the country upon
both sides of the line of march, and
this Is effected by patrols sent out by
the leading subdivisions Of the ad-
vance guard.
The disposition Of outpost troops fol-

There is 10 uniformity of distance be-
tween these different parts, since the

The reserve constitutes the main
body Of the outpost. 1t is located at
some central point from which it Gun

which the outguards and support may
retire If strongly pressed by the
enemy. The reserve, which may con-
prise from one-fourth ia two-thirds the
strength of the outpost. may he omit

A sentry squad is a squad posted ir

GUARD DUTY.

Just as outpost, advance guard and
pntrol work are pre-eminently impor-
tant, all guard duty is serious business
for the soldier. In war time and In
hostile territory 1t has been an imme-
mortal rule to punish with death senti-
nels who fall asleep on their posts. And
it is as a sentinel that the young sol
dier may first contract that sense Of
personal responsibility which renders
him not only n valuable member Of his
WI company, but also prepares him
for promotion.
No man a rise from a private to a
tirst-class private, from a first.clnss
private to a corporal, from a corporal
to a sergeant, from sergeant or first
sergeant to commissioned officer. un-
less he has evinced n disposition to
take responsibility. The men least
capable Of accepting responsibility lag
longest In the ranks; the men who
show earliest signs Of assuming re.
sponsibility-gladly and capably-will
be first to advance.
Guard duty is prescribed in detail in
a separate guard manual. This con
tains many regulations for the proper
performance Of this duty but In gem
eral 1t may be said that guards in camp
or garrison preserve order. protect
property and enforce police regulations.
A tour Of duty for the guard is twenty.
four hours, out Of which n sentinel Is
on duty two hours out Of every six. He
Is under the supervision Of the officer
or noncOmmissioned officer Of the
guard. who In turn Is responsible to the
officer Of the day.
Guards receive two classes Of orders
general and special. Special orders
relate to posts with certain peculIari-
ties and to particular duties. But the
general orders for the guard, which
every young soldier should promptly
learn BY heart, contribute, az has been
said. more than anything else. perhaps,
toward bringing him to a realization Of
his personal responsibility. These Or.
derx, which he should repent to HIM
self from time to time on post, are as
follows:
ITO take charge Of this post and all
government property In view.
ITO walk my post In 4 military man
ner, keeping always on the alert and
observing everything that takes place
within sight Or hearing.

DEFEATED RAPID
HIGH SCHOOL FOOT BALL TEAM
WON FRIDAY
SCORE WAS 81 TO IA.
BLACK HILLS CHAMPIONS OFT
AFTER ANOTHER RECORD
PLAY LEAD NOV. 3rd

City High School from the race for
the Black Hills championship. at
Rapid City last Friday, by the most
overwhelming defeat ever known be-
tween the two schools, the score
amounting to 54 to IA.
The tw" teams were quite evenly
matched in weight but the Hot
SPRINGS boys proved beyond doubt
that they were more than, a match
for the upper Hills team in quality.
Although the score was very one
sided. it was fast and interesting
samc from an observers standpoint.
During the first few minutes of
play it looked as though the Rapid
team would put up pretty hard
came. but ss the Rapid City Journal
said, this was before the machine
of the Springs school had started. -
The first quarter opened with Hot
Springs kicking. Rapid receiving
the ball worked ii down the field and
finally carried 1t over for touch
down on a forward pass. They
kicked goal making the score to O
i'll their favor: three and one-half
minutes.
This touchdown only served to
stir up our boys. Hot Springs re-
ceiving the ball on the kick off tore
down the field forcing the Rapid
line hack as they went, and Sewright
carried the ball over for a touch
down. He kicked goal thereby ty-
ing the score ,e z.
Rapid City kicked off and again
our team tore down the field for a
touch down. AS the Rapid City
Journal said. "the Springs steam
roller was now working in great
shape" Rapid City receiving the
ball on the Kickoff close to their
own coal. Trnted, recovering the
bali on tumble in the middle of
the field. They lost it however on
the next play clio Hot Springs easily
gained another touchdown. The
quarter ended NTH the score 21 to
in Hot Springs favor.
The opening of the second quar-
tel was only {. continuation of the
play curing the first. Hot Springs
continued to p:ow through the Rapid
CITY line scoring a touchdown but
failed to kick seal.
Shortly after this touchdown
Captain sewright of the Hot Springs
team made one of the most sensa.
tional flying tackles ever made upon
Black Hills field. Dewey Gray the
Rapid City end. having caught a
long forward pass was running fol
a touchdown with an open field in
front of him. Sewright who is
probably one of the fastest High
School football men in the Hills
after recover ing a start of about ter
OF fifteen yards. downed him on the
Hot Springs one yard line thereby
preventing touchdown. The Ja1
caused Gray to tumble the bal
which was received by Hor
