= and 80 years make the beSt
officers. Men of these ages, with a
certain amount of business expert
ence, are what we want for the sec
ond officers training camps, which
open August 81.
This is the statement made by the
examining officer Of this district, who
is now considering applications fol
the new training camp. p. l.. VIII
iiams, local secretary of the Military
! Training Camps association, has been
in direct touch with the examining
officer and makes public the words Of
the latter.
From the way in which applica
tions are coming in 1t is evident that
many younger fellows have miscon
strued the governments circular
which stated that men over 81 would
be given preference in the new train
ing camp. While it is very true that
older men are wanted, this should dis
courage no one Of 25 years of age
and even younger, from putting In
his request for admission. A mans
chances for being accepted are great
er if he is over 26 or 2S-but there
will be large number of the Is year
class wearing the khaki as officers.
sit seems that many who have
asked for applications for the new
camp are still holding them. In the
case Of the younger men, this is big
mistake. The sooner their names are
on file, the more chance they have OF
getting in on the ground floor and
having the opportunity to be an of
ficer in the new national army.
1--WE want to have plenty Of time
to thoroughly consider the merits OF
the younger men,"
Here the examining officer picked
up an application blank lying on his
desk "Now, this is a good type ol
man." he said, "26 years of age, cap
tain of his high school baseball team
with four years of business expert
ence. He has had no military train
ing, but seems to have given early
evidence of leadership. / have given
him a high mark and he will un
doubtedly be enrolled in the second
and last officers training camp.
Here, are two more applications
One of them is from a superintendent
of building construction. He has only
had three years of high school and
no military experience, but he knows
how to handle men. The other appli
cation is from the manager of a de.
partment in commercial enterprise

'In its attempt to get older men to

that men of 25 years and up have an
excellent chance to be accepted
"Men, more. men, and stiii more
men, are wanted for this second Of
ficers' training camp, opening August
81. There are only two weeks more
to apply. No one will be considered
after July Is. This is at once the
duty and the opportunity for men be
tween the ages Of % and A to give
the government the benefit Of their
experience, of their services, as lead
ers of the second national army OF

1O9TH FIELD ARTILLERY
DEFEATS TRENCH NIB,
Victors Have Eleven Successes
and Not One Defeat. May
Play Division Team.

Saturday afternoon the 109th Artillery
team added another game to its long list
81 victories by defeating Trench Mortar
Battery, a team composed entirely of
former Buc6nell varsity. and stars from
various Pennsylvania prep schools.
The game was clean and fast, both
teams being in the best condition, and
the Mortar boys being determined to
break the clean record of the artillery
team From the beginning, the superior
strength and speed of the Artillery was
evident and the game ended with a score
of 1870.
This completes a schedule of eleven
games, all victories and the Artillery goal
line has not been crossed.
During the past week the team has
been strengthened by the addition of
Coons and Nolan, formerly with the cav
Hughes, Hahan, d. Hughes, Strojny and
Randall compose two powerful sets of
backs which can be relied upon. The
line with a few exceptions has been de-
veloped from new material. Davies and
Leader, ends. have been great ground
gamers in every game and with the rest
of the line have shown wonderful form in
tackling.
The Success of the team is due to the
coaching of Brown, former State Col
lege star, now an officer in the 109th.
His untiring energy and knowledge of
the finer points of the game has made his
team one of the finest if not the best in
the division.
The question of SUPREMACY will be de-
Cided in the near future when this team
meets the picked team of the division,
coached by Walter Camp, Jr. This game
has been arranged several times but the
teams have not been able to get to-
gether. Both teams are confident and
the followers are eagerly awaiting the
conflict.

18th SOCCER TEAM
TOO MUCH FOR nth
Lieutenant Barlow Develops
Smooth Working Machine.
Chew Does Good Work.

A remarkable and interesting game
of association football was played on
Wednesday, December 5th, between
regimenta1 teams of the 111th and 112th
Infantry. The score was 3 to in fav-
or of the 112th Infantry.
Much credit is due to the boys of
the 18TH who volunteered to play in
place of another team of the division,
which cancelled it's engagement at the
eleventh hour. The 112th team had
never played before as a team, al
though every man is a player and
knows the game. The team of the
111th is composed of seasoned players,
who have played on we'll known Amer
lean and English teams,
Under the able leadership of Lieut.,
Barlow, who plays center half, the team
has developed into smooth machine,
The splendid forward line, Chew on
outside right starring, has a striking
resemblance to a well balanced scale,
each man playing his position The
haIfback together with both fullbacks
seemed to form an insurmountable bar
rier to the opposing forwards which
accounts for the fact that the goal
keeDer of the II 18th team had to handle
very few shots of which he disposed
very well.
The game started at p. m. sharp
Lieut.. CottereI umpiring. The 111th
carried the ball Immediately into enc
my territory but could not find the
range. It was not until the twenty
fourth minute of play that FIeisher
handed a ball to Phillips who scored
the first goal. The second goal was
scored by Chew from penalty. Half
time, , to 0.
The resistance of the 112th team
stiffened in the second half and be-
came aggressive at times. Only the

Hancock football team played the divis-

day, at Columbia, and the game ended
with neither side scoring. The wind
was so powerful as to interfere with
the game seriously and made it difficult

Camp Jackson has not been scored
against yet but the Hancock players gave
them one of the greatest games they
have played and the boys from Hancock
went away with the reputation of having
been one of the strongest teams that has
visited Columbia.
Snappy ball was played, notwithstand-

ing was witnessed by the thousands of
spectators. Although the ban was in
Hancock's territory most of the time, the
jackson players lacked the punch to put
1t over the top. Cody, a former Van

a field goal but failed in the attempts,
