Student Soldiers Stage Army
Maneuvers Near Bellevue

County Residents.

whats that, the German army1"
asked Mrs. Cyrus Haywood of her
husband Thursday afternoon. They
were standing on the back porch Of
their farmhouse two miles northeast
of Bellevue, gazing at long line Of
troops working their way stealthily
across a cornheld a quarter of mile
away. 1t looked like a regular army,
too, small though it was. There were
accommodating parties in advance, the
main body was we'll fanked to pre-
vent a surprise attack, and strong
rear guard was following slowly
along behind.
"Oh, look Cy! There's another
army, and they are coming towards
each other. Oh, there is going to be
a fight"
1t certainly looked as if something
like that was going to happen. Not
a sound broke the all-pervading still
ness. But there it was actually hap
pening before her eyes. The bodies
of men were inexorably, grimly in
tent on coming face to face, for the
purpose, to all outward indications, of
working dire destruction on each
other.
Creighton Cadets.
Cy, meanwhile, was smiling broad
ly. why, those are the Creighton
cadets out for lark, and incidentally
to get an idea of how our Uncle Sam
does things in war;" he volunteered.
He was interrupted by the sound
of cheering borne to his ears by the
wind, and he beheld the two lines
making a mad, wild charge, which
terminated in the interlocking Of
figures, amid much cheering and
laughing.
Peace was declared. The battle
was declared a draw, since neither
army Lad been able TO surprise or
surround the other, and there were
mutual congratulations between Ma
jors McGan and Morearity, who
were in command of the two sec
tions of the Creighton university
cadet regiment.
This was the first hike by the
Creighton student military organiza-
ton. The fquartermaster sergeants
saw to the transportation of supplies,
and at noon a temporary truce was
declared and operations ceased. Each
squad had its own camphrl and made
coffee, roasted weiners, and toasted
marshmallows,

has seen his best days.
The rolling years take the youth

and legs of the average player past
thirty years of age. and he turns into
the path which leads him back to the
minors or To retirement.
But there are exceptions to every
rule and in the major leagues today
there is a %sprinkllng of players well
past the ~thirty-year mark who are
still blocking Old Dad Times lusty

ambitious youngsters grow weary

MONEY MAKERS HURT SPORTS
Player When Discussion Of Re-
ceipts Is Taken UP.

Grantland Rice says that the infiu-
ence of money upon sport Is bound to
be bad. There Is no way out. As long
ms gate receipts continue tn grow there
Is n certainty Of III feeling mt hand
between those who pay and those who
play. II has been suggested that In
baseball n good many years ago there
was far less trouble between magnate
and player. This Is true. But there
ceipts. When admissions run up To
5000 and 10000 n day and the pot In
creaSes, trouble Is sure TO keep pill
ing up. The player wants TO make all
he can get. The owner wants to get
all he can make, both sides having the
true human touch. There Is nothing
Mt all out Of the ordinary In all this,
since the same conditions exist in
every branch Of existence. 1t only
seems worse In n game, for everyone
likcs 10 think that sport Is divorced
from financial consideration, whereas
in this country sport and the love OF
watching sport have been capitalized
10 the limit. The only way out would
be to abolish NIL gate receipts. And
this Is no way out, for then there
would he no daily baseball. So base
ball will have 10 fight It's way out, just
as various other trades have to scram-
BILE along, with n few breathing spells
between trouble. Big money has come
to the game, and big money means big
trouble when discussion Of the proper
split arises. II may seem to be n
shame that n great game should be
married by loud and raucous debate
over the division of the spells, but
there are a number Of things In this
world that seem 10 be a shame that
| can't be averted.
