Football lovers are pulling for a
service game, for the Army has also
lost but two stars from its 1917 team,
Elmer Oliphant, the demon halfback,
and knight, tackle. ELEPHANTS loss Is
partly compensated by the presence
of Gene Vidal, the star from South

Point this fall. and, II he plays all
the season, should prove almost as
valuable as Oliphant was last year.
