Soccer football players are beginning
to wake up in the 111th and 112th reg
iments since the meeting Thursday
when the Soccer League was formed
Saturday the 18TH regiment had a
practice game scheduled with the 10th

of the teams was put on guard duty.
Tuesday Christmas Day-the 18th
regiment won a rather slow. backward
game from the 111th. The score, 2 to 0.
The poor playing was due mostly to the
rainy weather and the lack Of the reg
ular players. The substitutes for the
regulars are going to make good Soc
Ger players. All they need is more prac-
tice and thorough knowledge of the
game
Wednesday, the 111th scheduled an
other games with the 18th TO set back
at them for losing the day before.
Each team went out on the field de-
termined to win. The field was in good
shape and the weather ideal The game
was full of pep the whole way through.
The players showed good team work
and it looks as though Y NJ. c. A.
Building 76 will have two good teams
when the league opens. The 1l1th had
more of their regular players and had
a little better Of the 112th. They won,
8 to T. The 18TH fought hard until the
very end. They were handicapped be-
cause Waddel, King. OBrien, Moore,
Lace and Goodyear were the only regu-
lar players, the other men were substi-
tutes and had never played the game
before. O'Brien scored the only goal

it was soft underfoot but the men drilled
just the same. They did not seem to
mind it in the least, Instead of their
regular uniforms, they wore overals and
Jackets. This they did TO save their reg
ular uniforms for special days and Sun
days.

for letter writing, it is devoted to games.
They have room in the largest building
for three volley ball games at one time,
or room for two games Of basket ball
The physical directors do very little on
the drill ground. Their time is put in
with the fellows in the time off and after
evening mess, when the different com

is called.

says he is going to cut the timber
and then burn all the brush anC

Mr.. McClung says that is the bes
