The writer ventured out on the Iron
Riyer-Crystai Falls road last Sunday
for the first time in over month. II
was a fine afternoon and many cars
were spinning along the road. We had
been told that it's dangerous nowadays
to drive on that road especially after
dark. Most OF the cars we met were
proceeding at a rational pace. but oc-
casionally one would tear along at
a speed that indicated either reckless
ness or ignorance on the part OF the
driver. Curiously enough most OF the
offenders were Fords-and then they
wonder why SO many Ford cars are
wrecked; blame 1t on weak steering
gears, trosion rods. on anything, but
the ignorance OF the driver to the
first common rules OF safety.
AS we were spinning along at just
% miles per hour--note that we were
w-abiding--a Studebaker car driven
by boy in knee pants, whose knowl-
edge OF driving a powerful automobile
was as abbreviated as his knowledge
OF the English language, came up be-
hind and horned for the road Well, we
were out along the side as far as we
dared get at that point with safety
and, as we were going as fast as the
law allowed we just let him horn and

When at Marquette last Monday
evening we witnessed maneuvers be-

from the south end OF Marquette and
a company OF national guardsmen de-
signed to arouse anything but respect
for United States soldiers. No mat
ter which side was at fault In
that unfortunate affair, the actions
OF that mob OF boys was a dis
grace to any community and the
fact that local feeling was allowed t.
get to such a pitch speaks poorly, At
least, for the discipline OF that par
ticular company. We were pleasea
TO note that the Marquette people
were outspoken in condemnation Of

-OBEsRyER- TELLS OF DETROIT
PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION

The outpouring OF people last Sat
urday evening, In honor Of the men
who were taking their first steps to-
ward a military career. was typical
OF similar scenes all over our land.
and tends to impress upon us the fact
that we are drawing nearer and near
er to the grim realities OF war. "ob-
server" has been spending a little
time In the lower peninsula. On every
train and in every town We visited
were to be seen numbers OF fine and
clean looking young men in khaki. In
one place. when we alighted from the
train and passed out OF the depot, VIC
saw more than one thousand drafted
men who were about to entrain for
military training grounds. Only a
few INDUCED the spirit OF levity. BY
far the greater number looked as II
they appreciated the gravity OF the
business in hand, possibly made more
acute to them by the presence Of the
mothers, sisters and lovers of some OF
them who seemed unwilling to loosen
their hand clasp when the order q
move was given.
| But the greatest gathering we saw
in honor of the men called TO the col
ors, was In Detroit. On the afternoon
OF that day all factories In that city
and downtown stores were closed. il
was estimated that half million peo-
pie lined the streets along which the
twenty live thousand persons forming
the parade marched. And what par
ade Il wasl II was in class by its.
self. composed OF men from every
walk OF life. Thirty-seven bands fur
nished music and several fife and drum
corps beat their tattoo. In the parade
were soldiers who had fought In
France and Belgium; several hundred
soldiers brought across from Canada
hundreds OF our own soldier boys; {
host of boy scouts; Knights Templal
in full uniform; Detroit Mystic Shrin,
Patrol. in their gay oriental costumes
headed by their own band: Knights o
Pythias; Modern Woodmen; Sons o

But the section which called fort
the loudest applause from the onlook

War who headed the first body OF tel
thousand OF drafted men In line.

SPORT.

Although Fisk has suspended inter.
collegiate athletics on account of the
war, yet realizing that the public of
Nashville with its many schools is
clamoring for a taste of football and
especially the annual Thanksgiving
contest, Fisk Athletic Association
with the aid of Walden University
has arranged to satisfy this demand
for a game on Turkey Day. Both
Walden and Fisk have moulded to-
gether formidable football machines
that will bid fair to stir the hearts
OF the gridiron enthusiast as in the
days OF yore when Fisk and Meharrv
used to meet for the Thanksgiving
contest.
Those who are well versed in the
football dope on the coming clash
seem to pick Walden's team as the
iavorite because it has done quite a
bit OF practicing. Several expert.
enced men coming from such teams
as Howard's and Warehouses; have
been added, and it has tine valuable
experience of having met another
team in combat
On the other hand, Fisk's team
has not engaged in any contest this
season, but according to Coaches
Zeigler and Kean the team possesses
the old characteristics, lightness and
sWiftness. The backfield men weigh
on an average of about 145 pounds,
and the line men average about 1856
pounds. There are only four of last
years varsity team to form a nucleus
around which the team has been
built up, yet the old Fisk spirit per-
meates the new men as it did the
former players on Fisk's teams, and
this seasons machine will surely put
up a fight worth any one seeing.
In every event there will be great
battle between the Gold and Blue"
and the Crimson and Black" with
yells, songs and football enthusiasm
galore. Don't miss this rare treat
The game will be called at 2:30 p. M,
at the Nashville Athletic Park Thurs
day.
