THE SPORTS CORNER
ty good fun for war maneuvers.
What under the sun was coming next?

" good fun Tor war maneQveiO.
What under the sun was coming next!
Apparently variation was about to
be introduced. There came Y. M. Z.
A man overtopped by net bag In
which were sixteen inflated soccer
balls. The Y. NJ. c. A. man: explained
the next event. It was called company
soccer The men were divided into
eight equal teams Of one hundred sew
enty-five men each. On four large fields
they were to play soccer against each
other for thirty minutes. -Four balls
went to each field, one side trying to
kick them over the goal-line Zone
point) or through the regular goal
posts (three points, at one end Of the
field and the other team at the other
end.
Scorers cin't Keep Count.
Tn two and one-haf minutes there
was the greatest scrimmage you ever
saw Get in mind field on which $50
men are all trying to get as many
boots at four footballs as they can.
And multiply that by the four fields
that were in simultaneous use. the
umpires and scorekeepers had an even
more lively time Of it than the players.
AS fast as a goal was scored, the ball
center Of tho field. So fast was the
scoring that the referees lost exact
count. One team kicked we'll over sew
enty goals inside Of thirty minutes.
Again the whistles blew and the
men formed files again. Everybody had
had a good time, and was in big
sweat. No one was hurt and everyone
was happy. The men put on their coats
and marched of to their quarters.
$50 ended the first hour Of the great
inter-regimental field meet that the 7.
A ho -
first afternoon on shore. For the next
two hours the program was duplicat ted,
even larger numbers OF men participant
ing than in the first hour. The officers
were enthusiastic about the results.
They crowded around to receive more
definite instructions as to how to man
age such an affair.
Officers Given Details.
''Dr. James H. McCurdy, director Of
Red Triangle athletics in France and
professor Of Physical Education at the
International Y. NJ. c. A. College,
Springfield. Mass, spent the following
Of this convoy how it was done and
distributing instruction leaflets. During
the succeeding hours he with Profess
sor James Naismith, the inventor Of
basketball. and DR.. John Coulter ad-
dressed the men and officers on Social
Morality and Health.
Under such men as DR.. McCurdy.
DR.. Meylan, DR.. Pest and several other
noted physical directors, the Y. n. c. A.
has studied the problem OF the anny's
need along the line of mass athletics.
Obviously the old style track meet for
few trained stars is out of the ques-
ton, as'is also the playing Of such spec
ialized games as football and baseball,
whore relatively few men play the
game and that only after long practice
together.
THAT the faith Of the army in the
Y. NJ. c. AS ability to meet the ar1ry's
need adequately is justified, was proved
in the first thirty-six hours Of the men
on shore which was turned in its hands
to direct. The Y. NJ c. A. like the army
has learned that it is group efficiency,
skill and stamina that alone count in
war"

GRAIN REVIEW


Chicago. Jan. 21-LArgest arrivals
yet this season through the west
proved effective today in easing down
the corn market. Steady progress was
reported as being made in diminishing
traffic congestion. Peace talk also acted
to some degree as a bearish factor.
Opening prices which showed Nc de-
cline all around. were followed by a
further slight setback.
Prospects of a renewal of low tenn
peratures tended later to check selling.
The close was steady at the same as
yesterdays finish to &c down. with
January $1.27h and May, S1.24h@A.
Oats receded with corn. Shorts were
the chief buyers. After opening q
shade to &c lower with May 75H to
76h the market underwent an addi-
tional sag.
Scantiness Of offerings gave strength
to provisions. Lower quotations on
hogs were virtually ignored.
