MANY GRID STARS
ON SERVICE ELEVENS
AllSevice Team Would Surpass
Any Selection of All-American
of This Season.

How about picking an all-star foot
ball team from the teams organized In
the army and navy training camps? 90

OF class this year"
These soldier teams have shown a
lot of class. Many of them have been
able TO defeat college teams of known
standing and ability in spite of the
fact that they generally have not had
the coaching and practice usually
given a college team.
Picking an all-star team from the
soldier camps Is another matter.
Most Of them have not met on the
gridiron and a majority have not even
played teams by which even COM
parative standards of play might be
No all-star team can be picked that
Is not open to a great deal of debate
and In the case of the army teams the
question is even more involved than
that Of college teams whose play is a
pretty well-known factor.
However. the following lineup Is
suggested as a team which would COM
bine defensive and offensive skill,
power. speed. football strategy and
brains:
Left End-collidgs (HarvardD. Camp
Devines.
Left Tackle-Benbrook (Michigan),
Fort Sheridan.
Left Guard-Black CYale), Newport
Naval Reserves
Center-Des Jardiens (Chicago), Fort
Sheridan.
Right Guard-Schlachter (Syracuse),
Newport Naval Reserves.
Right Tackle-West (Colgate). Camp |
Dix.
Right End-Heyman Cw. & j, Camp |
Sherman.
Quarter Back-Anderson (Colgate), |
camp Dix
Left Half-Barrett (CornelD, New
'ort Naval Reserves.
Right Half-Gerrish Oartmouth), |
Newport Naval Reserves.
Feft Back Mahan Harvard),
United States Marine Corps.
Six of these men played football in
9l6 and had lost none OF the finesse
which is likely to be dropped II active
cotball play is dropped for a year or
o. They are Coolidge. Black, Call
ahan. West. Anderson and Gerrish.
III. with the exception of west would
ave been eligible to play this year.
The other five were In college In
915.
This would give the team the ad-
antaSe of youth and all members

On this team would be eight of ,

ROWING AT HARVARD
Is AT A STANDSTILL

Cambridge. Mass. Dec. 6.-Rowing
at Harvard Is now at a standstill.
The advisory committee has decided
to close up the varsity boathouse until
after the Christmas holidays. This
decision was made as a matter OF
economy. The heating of the build
ing, for one thing, would cost con-
siderable.
Early in January candidates for The
freshman and informal crews will re-
port at the boathouse for voluntary
drill on the machines in the rowing
tanks. Coach ReIIaines is to be lin
charge, but the University manage
ment has not yet rendered him a con-
tract for spring rowing. In mid
February the regular practice sessions
viii start and the work indoors will
be supplemented on the river with
the approach of spring.

THE CALL

SAt<L
Have you heard your comrades callins
From the country oversee?
where the best Of them are falling
That the worst Of US be free.
There are many empty places
In the ranks that we must fill;
There are silent pleading faces
Can't you hear them calling still?
There are countless thousands dying
so that some Of US can live,
And it's no use you denying
That It's not your place to give.
For the call rings out-you hear 1t
And 1t echoes in your heart.
VIII you heed the call or fear Il?
Sonny! will you do your part?
When the Coming years are numbered,
VIII your children, yet unborn,
Learn you shirked the cali-or slum-
bered?
Will you face their silent scorn?
Or. with proud eyes Lit with glory,
Unashamed. with head unbent
As You tell life's biggest story.
VIII you say Thank God. I went?"
In the dawn of freedom, breaking
Through the war-night of the world,
Noble hearts, with faith unshaking.
Keep our battle flag unfuried.
will YOU help to keep It flying?
Guard the old Red. White and Blue?
Send your answer. sonny. crying,
II am coming over. too!"

Rev. Henry T.. Dunnack lectured at the

to large audience which thoroughly en-
joyed the address from first to last Mr.
Dunnack took for his subject They Shall
Not Pass" He first discussed the begin
ming days OF the republic. taking up the
development of the colleges, railroads, the
making OF the constitution. the writing
of laws and the developing of the educa-
tonal system.
The speaker then took up the develop
ment Of the republican form of govern
nent and pointed out that it was found
cd on four great principles. First we
believe With Jefferson that all power and
authority In government is derived from
the consent of the governed. Second, we
believe with Washington that the right
To alter and amend the constitution al.
heres in the people Third, we believe
with Lincoln that the constitution must
express the Thought, the will and the as
pirations Of the people or i. loses its
power. Fourth, we believe with Roosevelt
That the final achievement of democracy
IS placing principles and people before
parties and gold. He then pointed out the
growth Of development of the autocrat;c
form of government.
The speaker contrasted these tv-o ;aaas
and pointed out that the pres-ret war "a

tending forces and that not only the des-
