DOUGLAS M'KAY
THROUGH AT U
All-around Star in Athletics
Leaves for West Tonight
Loss is Felt.

Douglas G. Mckay, one OF the best
a%ll-around athletes ever produced by
the University Of North Dakota. has
dropped his studies and will depart
this evening for Park City, Utah.
where he will enter the employ OF the
Daily West Smelling and Refining
company. Mckay is a senior and will
be given a degree in engineering upon
the completion of correspondence
work.
The loss of Mckay to the varsity is
a keen one. Throughout his -four
years Of college he has represented
North Dakota on the %gridiron, bal!
field and cinders, n has represented
her we'll. Many critics do not hest
tate to name him as the foremost
football man ever DOMINIC the mole
skins at the university. Z Certain it is
that he is the first athlete of the uni
versity to be recognized by Walter
Camp In his mythical All-American
football selection, Mckay receiving
honorable mention from the footbail
authority for his work last fall. He
played three years at quarter for the
varsity and one year at fullback. Last
a he played his greatest games,
being more responsible than any 9TH
err man for the excellent showing Of
the championship eleven.
Baseball Player.
Mckay also eXcelled as a basehall
player, having put In three years In
the center garden for the varsity.
Last season he led the team through
q long string of victories. Coach Gill
had him billed for infield position this
season. 1t would be hard to find a
ball player in college circles with the
ability displayed by Mckay. as he is
q top notch hitter as we'll as a sure
4 fielder.
( He also represented North Dakota
! in track during his first year in school.
( being a consistent point getter for the
/ team. Last winter he %captained the
Sigma Chi basketball quint to the
championship of the Campus league.
He is al athlete Of more than COM
mon ability and his leaving will cause
no little regret in varsity circles.
Mckay will be the honor guest at
! Q dinner given by his fraternity broth
ers at their home, 2912 University
avenue. this evening before his de-
= parture for the west.

SPORT NEWS IN GENERAL
RAY CHAPMAN SOUND AGAIN AND so -
CLEVELAND FANS ARE TALKING FLAG

Cleveland. o.. April 19.-Ray Chap
man, the Cleveland Indians star
shortstop, is raising many pennant
hopes here this season. Chapman's
injury last year made him Of little use
to the Indians through most Of the
race and he was greatly missed. lie
is now in as good shape as he has ever
been and the strength of the team Is
greatly improved.
When going at his best stride there
is no other shortstop in the league
who cam utstep Chapman and he IS
also one of the teams most depend
able hitters. Without Chapman last
season the Indians infield was far
short of what it might have been and
though the team made a brave effort
through the early part of the season.
when Chapman was lost to h regu-
lar lineup the team fell away in their
speed and batting power n was Sc
riously crippled all through the rest
of the race.
with Chapman right again the In
dams feel confident Of a steady
climb toward the %pennant. Lee Fohl.
Indian manager, believes that the
Indians are one OF the six teams that
have equal chances at the pennant
and Ray Chapman is a big reason for
his thinking so. Chapman is one OF
the greatest Of the games younger
players.

st. Louis, Mo-, April 19.-Carl
Weilman, the Browns tall southpaw,
is one Of four reasons why Fielder
Jones feels sure that his team will
land well up in the first division this
season. With Koob, Plank and Ham,
ilton, Weilman composes a southpaw
quartet that is not equaled by any
other team in the league.
Fielder Jones' favorite method Of
winning ball games is we'll known to
be the use of tight pitching and speed
on the bases. If the team hits only
moderately we'll Jones is ure that they
al bring in victories by. making ev-
cry hit count and holding the opposi-
ton to the lowest scores. S%outhpaws
are especially effective in the Ameri-
can league, where the leading batters
are left-handed and the Browns are
better fixed with southpaw hurting
talent than any of their competitors.
Weilman is not only the tallest
pitcher in the league. but he also is
one Of the most effective. Last sea-
son he won eighteen games for the
Browns and was ranked high in the
pitching lists. If he performs as
we'll this year and the other Browns
southpaws are with him 1t appears
that Fielder Jones will have few wor-
ries over his twirlers. Jones says
that the Browns are at least sure OF
third place.

Nowhere along. the front do the Ger
mans longer attempt to keep up WIN
the allied increase in artillery: e
IL they had the guns. the Germans
lack transport . facilities to supply
them. Horses are scarce, while inc
motor trucks lack rubber tires and are
ineffective.
Due to this, the Germans are locat-
ing their batteries more and more
along the railway line, in order to be
certain of shell supplies, when IS 1t
is pointed out by British officers, stra-
tegic reasons would call for far DIFF
ferent positions.
The machine guns r the real re-
lance Of the Germans, however, as Is
shown by the construction Of the fam
ed Hindenburg lines. which are most
~ s~alients, built thus to permit the
intensive use of these weapons. Ma
chine guns are being used largely in
the defense Of Lens.

position, they salved two machine

drove off two German patrols which
attacked them. They held h ground
until nightfall, when eventually they
returned to their own lines.
In addition to its thousands of other
duties and activities, the British army
Is now e~ndeavoring to give the French
farmers every possible assistance in
getting their crops under way.
A bureau has been established where
farmers requiring help register. Troops
resting in the neIghborhood of farms
volunteer their help and horses, until
employed, are lent for plowing and
other farm duties. Tractors are. also
occasionally furnished. Some of the
principal work consists in reclaiming
tie Lattlefields. filling up trenches
and ahell holes, and levelling the
ground. III

GERMANS TRUST
TRENCHESAND
MACHINE GUNS
Flexible Systems of Com
munications Make Lines
Hard to Break.

, From a Staff Correspondent Of the
Associated Press, British Headquarters
in France, via London. April 1s.-The
flexibility Of their trench communi-
cations and the effectiveness Of their
machine guns are the two elements Of
defense upon which the Germans ap-
pear to be placing their greatest re-
lance in the present fighting, In ef-
important defensive trenches enable
the German fighting line to swing up
on double hinges. so If pressed too
hard, one pivot swings back from the
other. In this manner much ground
can be yielded in a series Of angular
or criss-cross retirements, without the
fighting front technically being bro
ken.
These trenches are known as
switches and a great system of them
is connected with the Hindenburg.,sor
siegfried positions. It was undoubted-
ly with these strategic switch lines in
view that Field Marshal o linden
burg recently declared that the Ger
man lines in the west could not be
broken.
Prisoners Work.
The preparation and maintence of
the elaborate system requires an un-
told amount Of labor, for each section
Of trench must have several belts of
wire front. The Germans have be-
come so accustomed to fighting be-
hind barbed wire that they would not
think now Of doing otherwise IL 1t
can be avoided. Most OF the digging
appears to have been done by prison
ers Of war. As the German lines fall
back. the diggers also fall back, to
construct-still more trenches.
Under this plan. Of course, 1t would
be possible to drive back the Germans
on the Rhine, and they could still say
the line was unbroken. In the mean
time the Germans are employing more
machine guns than ever before In
their attempt to hold up the British
infantry advance.
AS high as six OF eight Of these
ghastly weapons r now assigned tc
each company on the front line, and
