Lampkin, in his Sun Ray Roamer took

Athletics Are
Now Obligatory
AT Penn State

STATE COLLEGE, Penn, Oct. 12.-
Participation in some form of outdoor
sport is now required of the 1900 men,
bers of the Students Army Training
Corps at the Pennsylvania State Col
lege. Massed athletics, long a pet
theory of physical education experts,
but with few instances of practical ap-
plication, this week took concrete form
at Penn State when the military
authorities compelled each student
soldier to select his favorite sport for
daily exercise.
Taking the S. A. T. C. as working
basis, competing teams have been
organized in each military company
They are now swarming over the cam
pus in preliminary practice for con-
tests with rival company teams.
The physical education department
of the college, which is cooperating
with the military authorities, prepared
list of ten elective sports. Each
student was permitted to choose one
branch. with the understanding that
changes can be made later, according
to the weather conditions, which NAV
halt some forms of the activities.
Preferences, as expressed by the
students, afford an interesting statisti
cal study. Football was selected by
354, basketball by 243, tennis by 1865
wrestling by 125, cross country by 121
soccer by 100, boxing by II, basketball
by 36, volley ball by Is and ouickenino
exercises by 10.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
To Haze q Strong EleUen
Flu, Cancellations and
Other Misfortunes Fail
to Cause Pessimism

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. 12.-The
Naval Academy contingent has by no
means given up hopes of being repre-
sented by strong football team this
season and of demonstrating it's
strength against worthy opponents.
Such things as the "fu" cancellations
and other misfortunes which have
come thick and fast are recognized as
the common lot of football teams this
season, and are not permitted to dis
courage.
The reluctant realization that the
West Point game is out of the question
means real regret, but the Navy folk
are still hoping to have some of the
big fellows at Annapolis and show
them that it is big Navy year.
The team had expected to get into
action to-day, and game had been
arranged with the eleven of the Naval
Operating Base at Norfolk. However,
the medical men thought it unwise for
the team, with it's many influenza con-
valescents, to undertake match, and
hoped that conditions will permit a
game to be played next Saturday, and
either the operating base team or the
Philadelphia marines are likely to be
the midshipmen's opponents On Octo-
Der 26 the great team of the Newport
Naval Station is expected here.
The midshipmen may stack up
against service team on November r
2 also, but on the other Saturdays in
November the strongest college teams
available will be secured, and the sea
son will run until the 30th, week
longer than had been expected. The
only date now filled is the 10th, when
ursinus will play here. The Uni
versity of West Virginia has indi-
Gated that it will play at Annapolis
ii an agreeable date can be offered.
In view of the expectation of play
ing to-day a team had been picked in
general way, but Coach Dobie ad-
mlts that he is rather glad he will
have another week. Roberts and But
ler are two star backtield men who
were untouched by the prevailing
malady.
Ingram has been sick, but will prob
ably be back by next week, while
Welchel and Afford. probably the next
strongest of the backfield men, are
both fat on their backs. Combs. Cook
and Rodes, from last years squad
are all below par physically. Rawlings
and Severn, both new men, look like
they will need years more work to
fit them for big company.

Four-iin-Hands
ToCompetefor
$1,000 Trophy

Reginald c. Vanderbilt, president of
the American Hackney Horse Society,
has notified the National Horse Show
Association that a gold trophy costing
$1,000 will be offered by his organiza-
tlon for the best four-in-hand team of
registered hackneys bred, owned and
driven by the exhibitor at the annual
Horse Show in Madison Square Garden,
beginning on November II.
With the Alfred G. Vanderbilt
Memorial Cup for road fours this is
the largest prize ever offered at the
Garden. and the competition promises
to be about as interesting as any in
the long history of the Horse Show
owing to the novel sporting conditions
requiring each amateur whip to be the
breeder of every horse in his team.
Not very many expert four-in-hand
whips are breeders, and the number of
successful breeders who can get up on
the box of coach and tool four we'll
enough to win is likewise limited, so
that the class cannot be a large one.
but what it lacks in numbers will be
William du Pont, who breeds harness
horses at Montpelier. the old home
stead of President James Madison. In
Virginia, and Judge William H. Moore.
whose SeAten Hackney Stud at Morris
town. N. j., was named in honor of his
hippic idol, Lady Seaton, four times
champion Of the National Horse Show.
are believed to be the exhibitors that
everybody else will have to beat.
1t is estimated that Mr.. du Pont has
close to one hundred horses to select
from, and while Judge Moore's stud
is not nearly SO large, it produced a
young hackney that was good enough
to beat Lady Seaton for the champion
ship at the Garden last year.
-Four thousand prize lists for the
coming exhibition have Just been
mailed to prospective exhibitors in
every part of the United States and
Canada, and entries will close on
Wednesday for all of the $50 classes
on the programme. By donating the
entire gross receipts to the American
Red Cross the directors have made
the Horse Show a patriotic event.
which promises to bring together the
best stables in the country.

Football Has
A Big Boom
At Columbia
By Charles A. Taylor


Football is not dead at Columbia, the
war and King Alfonso's influenza to
the contrary Notwithstanding. 1t would
do some of the old grads of the Blue
and White lot of good to take a
trip to South Field some afternoon
and see what's going on. Any idea
they might have had that the game was
the same sort Of a corpse as baseball
would be dispelled in a jiffy.
Never before have so many men re-
ported for football on Morningside
Heights and, furthermore, the material
is of much heavier type than in any
previous year. with the possible ex-
ception of the time when Harold
Weeks was the star of the team which
more than held its own with Yale and
Princeton.
1t is unfortunate that the demands
of the military curriculum make it
impossible for Head Coach Fred Daw-
son to utilize to the best advantage
this wealth of men. 1t also is to be re-
GREETED that only two or three games
with other college teams can be played.
Given an ordinary year and the pres
ent large squad Dawson would un-
dcubtedly develop just about the best
eleven Columbia has ever had.
Owing to the fact that th,re has been
only a week of practice the coach is
unable as yet to determine which of
the host of candidates are best quail
fed for positions on the first eleven,
which is to be selected from the men
comprising the four battalion teams.
1t can be safely predicted, however,
.ha' Shaw, who played halfback on last
years varsity, will be one of the Sc
lcctions and perhaps will be shifted to
qus rterback.
For the line the only veteran left is
lIoulihan, but Robinson and Krauss are
showing up we'll; and then there is
Brin, centre on the 1917 N. Y. U.
eleven. Brin is little light for line
position and Dawson may find a place
for him in the backfeld.
The coming week will practically de-
termine the makeup of the various bat
talon teams and at the same time give
fairly accurate line on the varsity
possibilities as we'll. AS the games
with outside elevens will not come un.
til next month, Dawson will have two
weeks in which to prepare his men for
the big tests.

w. Va. Football Men
Start All Over Apain

MORGANTOWN, Oct. 12.-When the
Marietta game was cancelled here last
Saturday by the influenza epidemic,
and the War Departments order pro-
hibiting trips of any kind in October
was announced, precluding the posi-
bility of the playing of the games
with Pittsburg, Nebraska or Army, the
three weeks of hard practice which had
been indulged in by forty members of
West Virginias squad went for
naught.
Of course, West Virginia does not
expect to give up football. New plans
are now being worked out that will
be announced no doubt before the Uni
versity opens again on October Ia,
but one thing seems certain, and that
is that she will not only have more
football than would have been possible
under the old system, but will also
have varsity team that will be dis
tinctly representative.

means of a penalty kick, given against
Bradley for handling about the middle
of the second period, O'Connor clinched

REPORT CONCERNING DEATH
OF GEO. OSTIC Is MISTAKE

Word reached Tucumcari this morn
ing that George Ostic, one of our navy
boys, was drowned this week when n
ship on which he was member of the
crew, had been sunk in the waters off
South America. 1t was said his moth
er received telegram to that effect,
Mrs. Ostic was asked today if she had
heard this news or had received a tele-
gram concerning the reported death
of her son. She said she had heard
about the report but had received no
news from headquarters and did not
get telegram as was reported. So
it seems the Huns are beginning TO
drop their words of terror in this COM
munity. The Hun is as sly as fox
and their are few traitors who will
do his dastardly work for few dirty
sheckles. The chances are there was
no occasion for such report and il
is a pleasure to report there is moth
