not suitable, yet the first reports Of tank
operations indicated that they could go
anywhere and do almost anything.
Nor is much heard lately of gas
bombs. The invention of gas masks has
perhaps so lessened the. effectiveness Of
the new form of diabolism in warfare
as to make it Improbable, or else the
gas bomb has become a commonplace
not worthy of mention in the routine
of descriptive dispatches. From the be-
ginning of the war every new device has
resulted in a countering invention, and
it may be expected that gun will be
evolved to cope with the new wire-cutter
shield This is the history of human
conflict throughout the ages. During
the past two years and a half, however,
invention has sprung ahead SO swiftly
that it is difficult to keep pace with the
changes in war methods.

Evolution.

Oh. Dove Of Peace, you now betray p.
The marks of evolution's way.
No more you stand with naught to do
Except to look around and COO. ..
Your feathers have grown out until
Unto the skies you soar at will,
And to your beak there comes curve
That indicates both strength and nerve.
Your toes have turned to talons strong.
It's very plain that you, ere long,
Will soar above the land and wave
An eagle. emblem of the brave.

MEADE eleven
beaten BY DIX

fantry of the first national army. hall
ing from Camp Dix. Wrightstown.
N. J.. defeated the team from Camp
Meade. Admiral. Md, and representing
the 314th Regiment of the first ma
tional army, In the first interdivisional
championship battle ever staged in
the United States this afternoon on
Franklin Field by the score of 13 to 6.
Every man on the Meade eleven was
a native-born Pennsylvanian, while
the representatives of Camp Dix were
drawn from a half dozen States.
The individual ability Of Lieut.. An
derson. captain and coach Of the Dix
team, gave his team the victory. An
derson scored both touchdowns, the
first following a short end run. the
second after an, SO-yard dash. His re-
turning of kicks and all-round play
helped make him the star of the game.
Anderson is a former Colgate star and
An-American Quarterback last year.
Neither team could gain consistently
and were about on a par defensively,
save when Anderson cut loose. Meade
had the finest kind of a chance to tie
the score in the last minutes OF the
game, but could not make good in the
pinch. Lineup:

IN'1S
IS Indefinite
Many Institutions Are Plan
ming to Combine-Game
Progresses in A. and N.

Following the last game Of q college
football season, the next step Is the
election OF a captain for the ensuing
year. This formality concluded, the
next step is the taking account Of
stock and the laying Of plans for the
conduct of the game next fall. Col
lege football Is over for the year
and many of the teams that have
played regular schedules have chosen
their new leaders and are arranging
playing dates and other details
for 1918.
Unless conditions change greatly
most of the institutions that have
maintained varsity elevens this fall
are making arrangements to 60 on
along the same lines another year.
This Is especially true at colleges
which have passed through success
full seasons.
What the conditions will be next
September-the time when football
squads are usually called out for
opening practice-no one can say. We
may confidently predict, however. that
vast American army will be on the
Western front by that time, with
our soldiers in the midst Of the fight
ing as deeply as are the armies of
England and France America, by
that time, undoubtedly will have
reached a more complete realization
OF what the war really means. With
swelled casualty lists and wounded
coming home, it may be that the gen.
eral feeling will be strongly against
intercollegiate athletics.
There is no indication that Harvard
will play FOOTBALL on a more extensive
scale than this fall. Informal crew
and baseball is promised for next
spring. Beyond that period, however,
the authorities at Cambridge appar-
emily are unwilling to go. Yale under
graduates have not had time for foot
ball this year and probably will have
no more leisure another season.
Princeton has hope of a varsity, with
regular schedule, but this, also, is
very much a matter of guesswork.
College football, as was to have been
expected, was distinctly below the GUS
tomary standard. Material was lack
ing and the coaching STATS were much
depleted at many institutions. Much
the same condition should prevail next
season. One or two teams, fortunate
in the material available, were out
standing successes.
One of the notable phases Of the
! season just closed was the develop
ment of football in the army and navy
| camps. The game, through the infiu-
ence of many former college stars
has taken a great hold and has moi
! only provided diversion for the sol.
diers and sailors, but has been an i'm
portant asset in the physical develop
ment Of the rank and file. Most ot
these men will be across the water BY
the time another football season rolls
around, but their places will be taker
by others to be called to the color.
later. 1T may be reiterated that foot
ball Is great training for war.

PACIFIC COAST WILL
BE BIG BOXING MECCA

New York, Dec. IA good many
Eastern boxers are making ready to
head for the far-away Pacific Coast,
where they fight but four rounds.
Some Of them, no doubt, are going
West with the idea that the four
round game ought to be a mortal pipe
for them, and IL this Is true they are
due to be sadly and rudely disillus-
ioned.
The four-round game as It Is con-
Quoted on the Pacific Coast calls for
four full rounds of continuous action.
They don't stand for hugging. and
tango dancing. They make the boys
fight or throw 'em out Of the ring. So
the Eastern birds who go West to
pick up some easy dough in the four
round tournament had better go pre-
pared to fight like wildcats.
