GLBLETS =. BY ROY E11IK

: Mr. Nevans stated that IL is not I'M
3 likely that he viii ask permission of
D the Fort Bliss Athletic council 10 take
some Bliss best boxers over TO Doug
las for a show in the near future He
stated that he hopes TO arrange a
football game for Thanksgiving with
the Fort Bliss team stacked up
/ against the camp team from Camp
Harry J. Jones
Fort Bliss officers in charge OF the
track and field meet deserve especial
mention for the snapDy manner in
which events OF the day were run off
time.
Back up. old tailhoIt, and give the
rest OF them a chance to win was
one OF the encoura gements hurled at
the end man in the tug Of war We'd
nesday afternoon at Bliss. Trust Bliss
rooters for tail encouragement.
A Douglas man has an explanation
OF the 40 and 21-1 scores that has
not been mentioned hereabouts He
says that the Bliss team did not meet
the team which twice defeated the
18th infantry team. BY the removal
Of the 302d and 30sth cavalry and am
bulance corps practically all the play
ers OF the Douglas rack team were
taken away. To be a good sport, says
the informant director T. z. Nevans
sent expense money for the Bliss team
as he had promised, but the team met
was q pickup from the few players
left after the rest were gone to Camp
kearney-
O'Brien, OF the Seventh cavalry,
should not have been an Irishman- At
least, judging from the way he
cleared out and distanced everybody
in the Roman riding, he showed he
was cut out for a Roman. But maybe
it's better 10 be irish after all The
Romans are all with Caesar.
The SD field artillery missed Mai.
a sure point getter, last We'd
nesday. MAJ. Maulsby. IS in officers
school at Fort SIN: Okla
Contestants for Bliss bouts are now
being weighed at the rinEside, which
avoids al disputes. The plan Is a
good one.
Battling Reum. OF the Fifth cav
airy, who gave Nick Gundy a good /
run IN Wednesdays boxing show. |
would be a good drawing card for the I
next Studorium show. Fans would I
like to see the Battler in a longer |
bout Reum fell down somewhat IN 4
the last two rounds. but the first two /
were full enough Of promise to cause (
lovers Of the game TO have a desire !
to see him again.
While looking for timber for a main
event at the Studorium. why not put +
on Harvey Knight with some good I
5oy2 For real fighting knight gave 4
one Of the best exhibitions last We'd
nesday night that has happened about /
the fort in a long spell He did II,
too, without training. Bring on a
good man for Harvey and the fans
viii see a good run
Battling Wenman is right The
Battling" party is not a meaningless
prefix in his case The big artillery
nan may not know much about box
ing. but -battler" he sure is.
Especial mention is due the work
Of Sergt. Stroud. Fifth cavalry. for his
work in the contest for the best
trained mount The results Of careful
work was shown in the magnificent
exhibition Of the cavalryman who had
-rained his steed to a nicely to do
most everything but speak.

ributed for Wednesday nights box
ng shows. The instructors Of the
different regiments worked hard with
heir men and there were several
Winners who could not have been such
~ merely their own efforts. Marked
improvement was shown as a result OF
he work done by Fifth cavalry, SD
lrtillery and Seventh cavalry in
itructors.
