IN SERVICE UNIFORMS
By EDWIN J. POLLOCK

TNWENTY Two soldiers and sailors
i who have passed through Il period
Of intensive training. win leave this city
tonight on the lilo train to engage In
the biggest battle ~ which they ever
I'VE participated. They say the war is
Hrer but not for these young fighters of
Uncle Sam.
The enemy lies more than 800 miles
veet and he Is eptlonally strong He
holds the advantage OF experience. IL
not numbers. and he is particularly
fortified la that he is directed in tactics
by the greatest field general in history.
He knows no cCnqueror and has not suf-
fered Il campaign reverse in four years.
Many have been the battles against
this enemy Who lies in the west. Ills
line has been deIted for small advances,
hut Il never has been broken. The first
line Of defense is admitted TO be the
strongest in the world. and the secondary
de fcnsei OF equal power His attack is
weeping, puzzling and we'll covered.
The selected twenty-five have been
rointed particularly for this one en-
,agemert Their physical condition Is
uperb and their morale the kind that
;nows no fear. Puppets in warfare
hcy. are giants in courage. It will be
& test not only Of tactics. but Of spirit.
The twenty-five have had the tutoring
of two great field marshals. Generals

CENTRAL CHOICE
TODAY'S GAME
Crimson and Gold Picked
to Beat Germantown
High Eleven
FOUR LEAGUE TILTS

TNn Htcracadcmic League games and
the same number of contests in the pub
i, school circuit are Oh the card for dc
ciSion today. Besides the league bat
ties three independent football struggles
viii be staged.
In the Public School League the bjG
attraction is Central High and GermAn-
town High, which will take place at
Houston Field. The crimson and COLD
boys are taNoritcS. due to their excellent
showing in recent games, but GernaM-
town High is said to be in great shape
and sure to give Doctor OBricn's play
crs a hard battle.
Each team has played one league game
so far this season. Germantown lost to
Wcst Philadelphia high. but Central
walloped South Philadephia. The down
town players held West PnilIy to close
figures which, according to the com
barative scores, makes the Crimson ana
Gold the better team on paper.
Ii the other public school game for
the Ellis \. Ciinlbel Trophy. Franktord
High clashes with South Philly. The
game was original" scheduled for yes
tcrdaJ, but was moved back until today.
It will be played at Trank3oru.
Two important contests are on the
slate in the Interacademic League be-
tween Friends Central and Penn Char
ter and Germantown Academy and Epis-
copal. Penn Charter looks better than
Friends Central, but the result OF the
other league battle is n problem. The
two elevens are about evenly matched.
Besides the league engagements there
are other nearby games carded. Til,
! most important one will be betweer
| Chestnut Hill and 81. Luke's at st
! Martins. The Other contests are be
| tween Woodbury. High and GlassborC
/ High. nj GilaSsboro, and Abingdon High
| and SWarthmoro High, at Swarthmorc.

Pitt Now Respects Penn

Pitt Now Respects Penn
TyIIE big college game Of the year
i will be played in Pittsburgh to-
morrow. when Pitt mingles with the
University OF Pennsylvania. Two
weeks ago the Red and Blue wasn't
given Chinaman's chance, but the
team has improved SO much Of late
that some of the wise ones are lgur-
ing on q big surprise. No one has
the courage to predict 4 victory for
Hollenback's team. but il IS believed
the score will DC small.
Pitt never has been able 10 do much
with Penn. although Warmers men
have won all OF the games. The first
battle was staged on Franklin Field
in 1915 and Pitt managed to win by
the score of II to :. liz 1916 in Pitts
burgh it was a hard-fOught game, the
Panthers winning by the score Of 70
to 0. Last year was another close
one, Penn losing II to 6.
In all of these contests the Western
ers were the favorites end picked to
win by forty or tifty points. II gen.
orally was believed that the Red and
Blue was Outclassed and the SANG
stuff is being pulled this year. The
grandoldope, however. puts different
complexion on tie affair, for one is
led to believe Penn IS Pitts jilX Inc
anything is likely TO happen.
It will be remembered thar last yeaI
Pitts winning touchdoHn came aIteI
weird forward pass, when the pasScl
3 closed his,eyc9 and made blind throw
to the goal line. Luckly the ball fel
into another PittsOvrghcr'S arms anc
it was an easy score. That was pure
dumb luck, but it was enough to place
Penn on the short end Of the count.

Coaching by Mail


boob and attempt to translate some
of the intricate para graphs. Some
coacnes and officials study the code
all their lives without getting the
hang of it, SO a neophyte has good
excuse If he, too, falls down on his
first attempt. All of which leads to
the following:
Once upon q time there was a
youthful coach who had q football
team on his hands, and the players
knew as much football as their coach.
Something had to be done at once, so
the rule book was put into service.
Everything went along swimmingly
for a time and the simpler plays mas
tered. After a couple of weeks, how
ever, the men wanted some real plays,
so the coach obliged. He found for
nation in the book. lined up his men
and tried it out. He had five men in
tho backfield and eight on the line OF
scrimmage, but it was in the book
and that was enough.
But this n5w, formation was difficult
because the quarterback was sup
posed TO get the ball, and that indl'
vidual lined up on the end Of the line,
twenty yards from the center. The
only way the ball could be passed &c
him was by parcel post, and that was
not allowed in the rules.
The coach spent many nights study
ing the formation and finally con-
suited regular coach. After telling
his troubles the book was consulted.
"rhe only thing wrong with your
play" explained the regular coach, "i:
that you have the end on the opposing
team confused with your quarterback
You also have a couple of extra guards
from the other team, to say nothing
of q spare halfback. The diagram Il
right. but your dope is wrong"

Exercise Your Will.

In the WOman's Home Companion a
writer says: Let US keep it in mind
each day that weak will is the sign of
inferiority; it means that we belong to
the lower classes, to the weak and in
feriOr; and then remember that if we
remain weak and inferior, it is not be-
cause we must, but entirely because we
prefer to; and remember that we can
become one of the intelligent ruling
class if we choose. Let US set ourselves
certain tests of will, and remember to
let them be tests, not tasks. Let us
throw away if we can, all somber ideas
of duty and all ideas of our weakness
being sinful. Perhaps it might be ac-
counted so by those of a strongly re-
IgiOus trend but let US remember that
our task, our whole splendid and Joy
Gus task in this instance, is to learn
20 exercise and use our powers. 1t is

Captain c. J. Massock, Adjutant Of
the All-Kansas 353rd Infantry, is az
ranging tour Of Kansas for the fam
Gus Regimental Band. All that viii
be asked by the band in each of the
towns visited viii be in incidental ex-
penses and small fee to cover trav-
cling and musical expenses. Band
Master, Edward Meyer, Is going TO q
great expense IN the arrangement of
a most classical program for the tour,
which it is planned will cover the en-
tire state
This is the first opportunity given
the people of Kansas to hear their

tions of this kind. One of the features
of the program viii be the 353rd In
fantry march, especially arranged by
Band Master Meyer and 2 number of
well known popular airs A quartet
composed of the best voices in the
regiment will have a prominent part
in the program. This quartette is now
being trained by Lieutenant Leigh.
Lieut. ThOs- Reese has charge OF the
arrangements of the tour.
Captain Masseck may perhaps be
prevailed upon to go with the band
TO make short addresses pertaining
to the work Of the regiment and OF
the work of training the Kansas
troops in their fight for democracy.
Any city IN Kansas wishing to ar
range for a concert by the 353rd In
