He Is Probably the Most Versatile Ath-

at the Military Academy.

New York, May 2s.--In the midst OF
strenuous war activity the United
States military academy will graduate
one of its greatest athletes into a broad.

lieutenant in the army within the next
few weeks, Although a well known ath-
lete in the middle West he left Purdue
university in 1914 and entered the West
Point academy, it was not until Oil
plant donned the cadet gray that he de.
veloped an athletic reputation which made
him famous throughout the country.
The army school has produced many
prominent athletes in the past but few,
If any, ranked with Oliphant as an all
round star with record covering almost
every variety of competition which the
military academy supports. In one re-
spect his record is unique for 0liphant
is the only cadet who has ever graduated
from West Point with the honors of
having won the army "a in four differ

to the varsity letter in football, base

establishing a track record in competi

of his gaining the coveted
honor of captain of an army eleven with

Germans Hurled High EX-

Toward Them
BUT NO DAMAGE
WAS INFLICTED
Shells Fell Within Few Hun

on Picardy Front

With the American Army in France
Monday, May 27.--(By Associated Press)
What was apparently deliberate at.
tempt to wreck American hospitals in
the rear of the American lines in Pioardy
occurred Sunday afternoon when the
Germans hurled high explosives and gas
shells within few hundred yards Of
two hospitals, Fortunately no damage
was done
BY coincidence the bombardment was
going on while American funerals were
being held. Some shells fell short
distance from one funeral party, but the
ceremony was not disturbed.
German attempts to carry the war
fare to American sick and wounded be.
gan about ten days ago, when, with the
advent of new moon, enemy airplanes
circled over the little villages, where ii
has long been known hospitals were To-
Gated, and dropped bombs. Several CT.
villains were injured in a recent air raid
while not farm from the American hospi.
tails. They were asleep when the attack
began, feeling secure in their proximity
TO the hospitals.
Much Indignation has been caused
among the soldiers and civilians over the
air raids and Sundays bombardment. 1t
was not the fault of the Germans that
those in the hospitals were not killed
and wounded as were those in the Brit
ish hospitals in Flanders recently.
The only comment of the sick and
American soldiers is that they
want to get out as soon as the doctors
will permit so as to strike back at the
Huns.

placement thus totaling nine OF the ff-
| teen points by which the soldiers defeat

second scorer among the eastern col

place at the close of the season.
In many respects he was replica of
Charley DAILY, who entered West Point
from Harvard and continued to improve
upon a football playing reputation al
ready established before he Joined the
cadet ranks. Oliphant was terror when
carrying the ball, being exceedingly hard
TO tackle, due to his elusive lodging and
footwork, and still harder to stop once
he was in the clutches of the tackler.
He was equally good in rounding the end
with or without interference and could
pick hole in the line and smash or slip
through with almost uncanny ability
Once loose in a broken field he was one
of the hardest players of the modern
game TO stop, as scores of opponents have
testified.
Oliphant was captain of the 1917 acad-
envy football team and also the leader
of this seasons baseball team, although
he did not take part in many games ow
ing to the intensive training and schol-
astie work made necessary by the fact
that the class is to be graduated almost
two months ahead of the regular SEIZED
ule. When Oliphant enters the army he
will be the wearer of the "Edgerton Sa
bre,' awarded each year to the outgoing
football captain. This is one of the most
valued trophies awarded at West Point
and it is the opinion among ELEPHANTS
classmates that no cadet was ever worth
er of the honor.
