1,o25 Communicates at Mission.
This solemn and terrible truth
brought home to the boys made them
sober-minded. They actually hungered
and thirsted after the exercises of the
mission. AT 6 O'Clock in the morning
when it was twenty below zero, the
X. OF c. hall was filled, and at Z in the
evening it was thronged with the flow
er OF American manhood. During the
mission, which began Sunday morning
and ended Thursday morning, one
thousand and twenty-five received
Holy Communion. Bear we'll in mind
there were no mothers, no fathers, no
sisters, no brothers, no friends, to urge
them to make the mission Their devo-
ton and fervor were the spontaneous
acts of a well-disposed soul eager to
return to God. Realizing the danger
that soon they might be called upon to
render an account of their whole life
looked up the debit and credit sides
OF the book Of conscience and ascer-
tanned what were their moral assets
and liabilities and as far as lay in
their power, squared their accounts
With Almighty God.
Spiritual Welfare of Soldiers.
No doubt one of the most important
problems that should interest every
true Catholic is that of providing
spiritual succor for our soldiers TO
every rejecting mind it must be Obvi-
GUS that nothing is better calculated
to render this supernatural aid than
holy mission. Would that there were
war missioners as there are war chap
lains who would go from camp to camp
and conduct missions for our soldier
boys who are about to embark for
France to fight for the great cause.
The fields are white for harvest and
the harvest indeed is great but the
laborers are few This holy and
needed work would only be further
ing the realization of the slogan Of the
national war council: mo sacrifice is
too great to bring help and consolation
as we'll as religious influence to the
sailor and the soldier"
New Men Guaranteed for InocuIatons
Already the new men that reported
last week have become absorbed in
the many organizations of the camp.
Quietly and silently they came amongst
us, taking their places without hustle
or excitement, testimony to the eff

whilst they are being examined and
taking the necessary NEGOTIATIONS.
Their life is by no means lonesome,
as already they are receiving the ele-
ments of discipline and drill. Enjoy
ment is also being provided, the re-
spective organizations wing with
each other in making the boys happy
and comfortable The chaplains are
availing themselves of the opportunity
Of talking to the boys in the barracks
and are meeting with every encourage

Sunday eight masses were celebrat-

Captain Lyman HusticS Around 10
 Secure Advisers For Eli Team.

New Haven. March 6.-Captain Norman Lyman of the Yale varsity nine has made plans for securing a staff of graduate coaches for the coming season, following the an nouncement by the Yale athletic com mittee that no professional paid coaching would be allowed this sea- son.
 Ezekiel Bronson, the former third baseman, is the New Haven mem Der of the graduate baseball committee. George B. Chase, captain of the '94 team, and Senator James w. Wads- worth, the other two mem bers of the committee, are engrossed so deeply in their war duties in Washington that they will be unable to give much time to the Yale baseball situation,
 Three former players who will de- vote as much attention to the coach ing as they could take from their bus mess duties are "Dutch'' Carter, the former Yale pitcher; Bernie Winslow captain in 1903-4, and one of Yales best coaches: Bronson and former Head Coach Frank Quinby who is now at Andover academy, but who will try to be present several times this sea- son and assist in the coaching at Yale field.

Big Pole Is Willing to Meet "Strang-
 Ier'' and Permit HeadlOck

New York, March 6.-Wladek Zbyszko and Ed "Strangler' Lewis are likely to meet on the wrestling mat within the next two or three weeks, and the head lock, over which so much discussion has arisen, will not be barred
 '"To show that I am satisfied I can beat 'Strangler' Lewis," Zbyszko said yesterday, 1T am willing to wrestle him to finish, and to prove my con- fidence in myself I will not ask him to bar the headlock, which he talks so much about. Though he defeated me with that hold in the recent tour nament here, I have studied out a defense that will make his only hold harmle
 These two big men met in a tour nament at the Lexington theater, and in the first match Lewis cIamped his hold on Zbyszko in such a crushing g manner that the latter was forced to defeat. On the final night of the tourney the headlock was barred, and in furious match Zbyszko pinned him to the mat after an hour and a half of strenuous wrestling.

HARVARD FAVORS MEET
Triangular Athletic Games With Iaic and Princeton Indorsed At Cam- bridge Meeting.

Cambridge, March 6-At the meet ing of the Harvard Athletic Commit tee last night Harvard went on rec ord as favoring the proposed triangu- lar track and field athletic meet with Yale and Princeton. It was an nounced that the games probably will be held May Is at New Haven. The recently published baseball schedule for the Harvard Yale = Princeton round robin series was accepted ten- tatively.
 As Harvards examinations will be held June 1, when the Crimson is scheduled to play at New Haven if may be found advisable to ask Yale to come to Cambridge that day and transfer the game scheduled for Cambridge to New Haven.
 It was decided that Harvard will send a few track athletes to the in tercollegiate championship meet at Philadelphia, but the size of the team will not be determined until after the triangular meet with Yale and Princeton.
 The question of adopting a strict R. O. T. c. rule governing the ehgi- bility of Harvard athletes, was dis cussed, but no final action was taken, except to leave to the athletic Chair man to agree with Professor Corwin of Yale, and McClenahan of Prince ton on individual cases.
 The Harvard radio school hence forth will be allotted a portion of Sol dier's Field for athletic sports, but it's request that it have the exclusive use of the Weld Boat House was put up to the college trustees, who own and control the building.
 Football was not discussed, but 1t is understood that the three deans will have a conference later in the month, when the visibility of plans for the Fall sport will be discussed.

six hours before tfs9 lB1l4 41s M Ml !I IEls Esnt when Sullivan fought Ryan in 1886 I was the proud possessor of a ring side box seat, And, that night was all "dolled" up in a natty suit of clothes, @ nifty hat and I carried a cane. Oh, yes l felt rather lmpor- tant. But, just the same, I was still wildly anxious to be introduced to John l.. and to gain the honor of shaking his hand.
 No one in the big audience watched the movements of the champion with greater interest than I did. Those were the days when some of my warmest friends in the club were tell ing me that I was destined soon to be a topnotcher in the ring. And 1t was just about that time that Jack Dempsey had predicted some day Jim Corbett, you will be a champion" So I followed every action of Sulh- can in the hope that he might un- cover some of the ring tricks that had helped to make him famous and which I might copy.
 
 Sullivan, in that second fight in San Francisco, got a chance to show some of his terrific punching power. Ryan came into the open and fought him. The big champion sent some smashing lefts and rights to the head and body of his ancient rival. Almost from the outset it was obvious that Ryan was doomed to defeat. The bout was to go only four rounds, but it terminated in the third when Ryan went down-and stayed there-under a terrific right hand bombardment by the mighty champion.
 The thought didn't enter, my mind then that I might have a chance with Sullivan. Always, until along in the 90's, I felt that he was absolutely un-

 A short while after the Ryan bout, John L. went to Denver and fought a four-round draw with Duncan Nc" Donald. From there he journeyed to Chicago, remaining there for many weeks. On January IS, 1887 he fought Patsy Cardiff in Minneapolis. John l.. broke the radius of his arm in the sixth round with a punch to Cardiffs head and the contest was declared a draw.
