NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-College >ath-
letics went on hunt here today for
the old pep that disappeared almost
two years ago when Wilhelm began
his long skid down the creased ways.
The annual meeting of the National
Collegiate association convened at the
Aston. The only college of Importance
which was not represented was Corn
ell, which is having some trouble re-
covering from the inaction forced by
the war
Indications were recommendations
for changes in sports rules would be
many. 1t is quite probable certain rec
concentrations regarding football will
be made that will provide for no change
in the position Of the ban between
halves.
The effect of the returning army's
devotion to athletics will be an Inn
portant subject for discussion.
Plans were made for opening as ear
Iy as possible, competition in all
forms of sports formerly INDUCED in
by the schools 1t is possible some
action will be taken to insure the an
nual indoor track meet, abandoned
since hostilities began.
Recommendations also are expected
to place the dates for boat races I'M
der school terms, instead of after the
close.

tain directed the actions. Behind
him, with his back to him, stood the
pilot, at an iron steel wheel set per-
pendicularly in the wall.
The life Of a German submarine
sailor was series of restrictions.
He climbed from his narrow iron
bunk in the morning to bump into
the bunk across the aisle. He squeez-
ed down the narrow passageway to
the tiny Mushroom. He amb1ed a
little further along to another small
compartment, where the cook bends
with cooking surface about thirty
inches square on top and small
oven below.
He probably returned to his bunk
to eat his ration, for there is no din
ing room Perhaps he went back to
the torpedo or mine room, where
about ten by eight feet.
Or. IL the submarine happened to
be running on the surface. he climbed
the hatch "a manhole with water
tight lid to the deck.
Then, If he were an engineers
helper. he worked in a narrow aisle
between two sets of Diesel engines.
If he were in the torpedo crew he
would sweat under constellation of
steelcaged electric bulbs in a long
low ceilinged compartment on the
lowest deck of the boat He entered
through a manhole in the wall,
squeezed down an aisle between two
rows Of torpedo racks to the tube
ends, where he had small free
space.

ABOARD UNDER-SEA CRUISER
q III, HARWICH HARBOR, Dec. 10
(By maiL)--The U lit. which dur
ing June, July and August cruised
up and down the American Atlantic
coast sinking sailing vessels, tugs,
barges. and coastwise passenger
steamers, lies under thin fog to-
night in Harwich harbor-reduced to
curiosity.
Just up the harbor floats fleet of
eighty-nine other former German u
I boats, tied up in twos and threes.
Stripped of her crew and poten-
TALLY for frightfulness, the monster
submarine is nesting alongside a
sister diver, while English sailors
search her for BOBBY traps.
In her empty control room the butt
ends Of her two periscopes-one for
navigation and the other for range
dnding-swing useless. with no one
to look through them
She returned last September to
Eiel from three months cruise in
American waters, with record of
10000 tons of shipping sent down,
according to her crew.
From her mine racks in the rear

jungle of steel rods, and tubes, tiny
steel walled compartments joined by
manhole doors, through the crews

cabins, the control room, the kitchen
and the engine and switchboard
rooms--is close to 800 feet
The only variation in the steel lin
ing of the passageway is the captains
cabin, where / am writing this-a
pretty little den about eight feet
square, with oak panelled walls Each
panel is the door of a cupboard
There is just enough room for a
lounge, upholstered in beautiful imi-
tation leather (the captains bed), a
little oak desk, where he wrote his
log, and small oak armchair, with
an upholstered cushion
The only other hint of luxury in
the ship is the leather upholstering
on the officers berths in the adjoin-
ing cabin.
Both are simply engagements of
the direct end-to-end passageway of
the ship.
The U 1T could shoot twenty-eight
torpedoes without returning to base.
She had mine carrying capacity OF
forty mines, and finch gun on her

her home. She sure was d pit1ful sight After we cleaned up that town we marched on about d kllo to the railroad. Everything that could | be moved had been set atire but the BOche were in such hurry that they didn't put enough oil on the railroad station and a few other things and the fires went out. We captured a pile of ammunition there. Long be- fore morning our work was done. Our objective reached and we sat down to wait for the other divisions coming from the eastern disc of the salient. We found a lot of German eats and cigarettes and some Of the fellows had a fine party with German bread and German beer.
 The next afternoon the Roche she'll cd us a little and a few planes came over and dropped 8 whole load of small bombs on us, causing a few casualties. After few days thero we moved over to the left near Han nOnville' where we held the line un- til the first of October, when we were relieved and went to the rear. We billeted in small town a short ways back and then hiked to Verdun where We were Quartered in the Citadel a few days. Then we went into the front line just west of the Mouse river, in the edge of the Belleau woods. I was there eleven days and nights be- fore I was knocked out and sent to the hospital. We had no trenches or dugouts except shell holes and the BOche sure did riddle that place all the time. One afternoon we were ad- vancing to take the Dutch front trench. Just as we got there a shell landed pretty close to me and threw me into the trench. l landed on my chin With my knees on the parapet and my back was wrenched. I suro was all in. The first place I stopped was evacuation hospital No. at San lilly. Then l came by hospital train to Base No. l at Vichy. I have had plenty of sleep and rest and good eats here and am beginning to feel fine again don't expect to be here much longer and I think l will be home soon.
 It is now Sunday the 24th and l have just come from Mass at the Church of St. Louis. I'll go over and post this at the Red Cross.

named Place" has been abolished now that the censorship rules are changed. Well of course you have heard of Vichy and know it is quite a place. have been here a little over three weeks now and it is the best town I've known in France. For one thing it is so far from the line that it has never hcen shelled or bombed so it is in good condition. The censor also allows us to mention our past ac- ttvities freely, so I'll give you a little summary of my "Trip Thrcrgh He1l'.
 When we left New York we went to Halifax and stayed in the harbor there a couple of days and then steamed out into the Atlantic again headed for lover there. We landed in Liverpool, England, and went by train to South Hampton, arriving there about II D. m. on the 9th of No vember, 1917. We stayed there until the next night when we crossed the channel to Le Havre. We left La Havre on the 18th and travelled two days in box cars leaving the train at Chatenois, a small city in the Vosges We marched three kilometers to "Rouvers La Chetive'' which was our home until we left for the trenches on February 9th.
 Rouvres is d small village in the hills, but I think of it now as a sec ond home. We lived there three months and although it was cold, and we drilled hard and had some hard ships. we had a pretty good time there. The town was only large enough for our battalion, the rest of the regiment being in towrs nearby.
 On February 9th we marched to Chatenois and got in the box cars again and travelled through Neufcha- teau, Bar Ie Due, Revigney, Vitry 1e Francois, Epernay, Chateau Thierry to Braisne where we unloaded and marched to Chassemy where we spent the night in 8 big chaulk cave. The next day we marched to Aizy de- molished town in the rear of the Chemn deS Danes. We were in the third line a few days later. We moved to the second and then into the front line where on February 2Oth F. company had it's first battle. That was where Fred Becker lost his foot. We left that sector along toward the end of March and went to "Grand", near our old home, e,-stayed there two days and went up into the Foul sec tor. All day Easter Sunday we rode through a cold rain in auto trucks stayed i'll Mandres (4 IIilos from the front) one night and then went in to the front line in the famous little
