The old axiom OF sport "They cant

whether or not thew can come back.

and a week or SO before that Dart
mouth defeated West Virginia to 2.
Another way Of looking at the same
situation is that while Dartmouth did
not permit West Virginia touch
down, Pittsburgh had nine points
scored against her by the mountain
boys.
There are two main reasons why
comparative scores are worthless.
In the first place some football
teams improve faster than Others
Some gain their full strength early in
the season while others do not
The other reason, which is most
important is that most coaches be-
gin the season by pointing their
teams toward one or two important
games, usually late in the season. In
their efforts to reach the maximum
power at that time they often play
early games with substitutes and do
not uncover plays and formation with
which they might win or pile up big
scores.

No matter how great a lull there may
be at the front, Fritz is pretty certain

roads and fields through which our
men must approach the communica-
ton trenches.
Kipling's "Law of the Jungle" is
one rule of trench life. Remember
that night is for hunting and forget
not that day is for Sleep"
AS one plods endlessly through the
, communication trenches, he stumbles
, over the feet of men sleeping behind
curtains in their dugouts. At night
these men may go out into No Mans
Land to hunt the Boche.
We pass groups of plodding men
bent, sweating, but CHEEKY, under
loads of supplies for the front line.
Some bear on their backs great iron
arches and Orders to help in dug-out
construction.
Others are carrying boxes of anmu-
milton, bombs. pals of water, and ket'
| ties of stew. Peeping over the trench
parapet one sees all around merely a
broad srayish-green slope which is abb
solutely deserted and is busted here
and there with the black clouds of ex-
| ploding shells. But here underground
| the whole hillside is alive with subter-
ranean activity. 1t is as though one
had penetrated into titanic anthill.
On the way to the front trench we
pass a certain headquarters. Snugly
ensconed in a big dugout entered
through a door in the trench wall, a
group of officers are dining. There is
a clean white tablecloth spread, and a
variety of good food is offered the
guests. One officer leads the way. to q
much deeper dugout down many steps,
where he sleeps. It has white ceilings
and walls, the latter covered halfway
up with hurlap.
A bed and Morris chair a phono'
graph and records on one table, books
and papers on, another, a typewriter
telephone, maps, and rough carpet
on the floor make it seem more like a
comfortable bungalow than a dugout
And all outside is waste of mud and

and their men are hourly on the verge
