Through the acceptance by the Gov

colleges where students of the Stu
dents Army Training Corps will be
trained it is likely that football has
been knocked out at the local in

! Colleges and universities with stu
dent army training corps units have
been advised by the War Department
not to make plans for football sched-
ules this fall. This became known
today when the Senators began re-
ceiving protests from educational
institutions in their home states.
Officials of Universities of Nebras-
ka advised Senator Hitchcock that
such step would result in heavy fl
nancial loss because the university
is under contract to play teams from
other leading colleges.

CAPT. STARLINGS'
MEDAL EXHIBITED

Resting on the long table in front

were two objects of especial local in

The first, was the Legion of Honor
Medal (Croix de Guerre), with which
Capt. Paul Nutwell Starlings, son of

street, has recently been decorated
The cross is a handsome design in

from a circle of green laurel
On the diverse side it bears the
inscription "Republique Franchise,
1870" the centre of which is gold
with blue enamel surrounded by
laurel wreath of green and silver and
ivory.
On the reverse side the centre is
emblazoned with two French flags,
in their native coloring, around which
are the words "Honneur Et Patrie,"
the work on the medal is beautifully
wrought and the coloring is very eff.
fective. 1t is suspended from a red
ribbon and in a leather case lined
with white satin.

MANY ATTEND DANCE
GIVEN SERVICE MEN
Large Crowd At State Armory Last
Night At Successful Dance.

One of the largest and certainly
one of the best dances yet given the
service men by the War Camp Com
in the State Armory, and was much
enjoyed by soldiers and sailors, the
latter of whom were present in larger
numbers than the soldiers.
There is reason for this as the
last consignment of soldiers were or
dered to bring but one pair of shoes,
the heavy marching variety, which it
is impossible to dance in.
A feature of the music was the
piano playing by Seaman Covell, the
bugler from the Wasp" who is a
born, bred and dyed in the wool mu
stefan. He made that piano talk, and
it spoke in any number of languages
while he manipulated the keys. Mr..
Covell threw ginger and pep into the
music. and it was impossible to make
ones feet behave while he was at
the piano.
Several features besides dancing
were introduced. including solos,
sung in splendid voice by Mr.. Nc
CURE, of the service, who also was
an efficient accompanist in the early
part of the evening.
The biggest" soldier at the Rife
Range, who stands six feet seven
inches in his stocking feet, sang with
good effect a dialect song, and Mr..
Phipps gave an interpretive dance in
costume. Another feature was a clog
dance by the colored bell hop at Hotel
Maryland. which won prologed APP
plause.
Dancing was from eight to eleven
and was enjoyed by all the partici
pants as well as the hostess and COM
mittee.
