useful job how would they classify deputy clerk over IN
the courthouse a bookkeeper?
If you bond salesman insurance solicitor

Did you get the card telling you of

very much.
1 have been in the trenches four
times and I am still alive and kick
ing, and mean to get many Of those
Huns yet. We had n man killed
from our company and about twelve
wounded. I think you know the
young man who was killed. His name
is Phillip Glisman from Staten Island.
We are getting pretty used to the noise
of battle now. We have Just come out
Of the trenches now for a short rest
and 1 suppose we will go back again
soon. Believe me our boys are surely
doing great work over here. 1 don't
think this war will hold out much
longer. We have seen quite a lot OF
France and Belgium. The people over
here are now getting in their crops.
They have some very fine grain but DO
not raise much corn. The weather
over here is pretty fair now. although
we have had quite a lot of rain.

IN TT FIELD OF SPORTS
W. Virginia TO Play Rutgers
at Polo Grounds Nov. I

It seems that the much touted
game between Rutgers strong grtds
IRON products and Georgia Teens
Golden Tornado" has taken tne
same course that the German hopes
for the defeat of the Allies have gone
and hat Is into the atmosphere. After
many writeu.s by almost all me
newspapers of the east IL has finally
been announced that Rutgers ana
Georgia Tech will not clash at the
Polo Grounds for the benefit of he
War Work Fund.
Instead 1t has been announced that
the game scheduled for New Bruns-
wick next Saturday between Rutgers
and her arch football rival, West
Virginia, will be played at the Polo
Grounds for the above mentioned
cause. In the last two years both en-
counters have resulted in ties. we
years ago Rutgers fought West Vir-
ginia a scoreless tie in n of tho
most strenuous games on the Scarlet
teams schedule. Last year after
Rutgers had scored a touchdown and
had the game cinched. h Virginians
tore through Sandford's men and
with the aid of the Southern team
managed to push the ball over on the
Rutgers goal and thus tied a game
hat was almost hopelessly lost.
This game is the game of the sea-
son with the Rutgers warriors and o
win over the Virginians would satisfy
Sanford more than any other two
games. If this game is played at the
Polo Grounds IL will no doubt draw
a very large crowd and swell the JOY
Fund considerably.

A POETIC ACE
Gabrielle d, Annunzio Considered One
of Worlds Greatest Aviators.
(Assocfdfed Press Correspondence.)

Gabrielle d. Annunzio Considered One
of Worlds Greatest A~viators.
ASSOCIATED Press C0rTeSponderce.)
LONDON, Oct. 26@The air ex-
ploits of Gabrielle d. Annunzio, the
italian poet, novelist and dramatist.
have taken a strong hold on the Brit
ish public's Imagination, and he Is
acclaimed here as one of the worlds
foremost figures in aerial warfare.
The London papers. which recently
have been devoting considerable space
to the daring italian, express surprise
that a man of his age and tempera-
ment was able to make 80 remarka-
BILE. a success as an airman. Few ex-
pected, the Daily Express says. thai
the "dandy Roman poet would be-
come an air fighter after passing his
fftieth birthday.
Above all. It is pointed out. he Is
an inspiration to his people. HIS
deeds during the war are known to
all the world. but few outside Italy
realize that he has been the greatest
public orator of his country since the
war began. His speeches are full or
prose music. and the message which
he dropped over Vienna was written
as only a poet and a soldier could
write.
D,Annunzio as a squadron leader is
said to b. not only fearless, but untir-
ing. Routine bombing and chasing
have no attractions for him. His fer
tile brain is constantly at work de-
vising new methods for marrying the
enemy In unexpected directions. That
is why the Austrians hate him so In
tensely.
It is believed here that his fate
would be dire II he fell into the enc
my's hands. and London Is quite
ready to credit the story that he car
ries in his tunic pocket a little phial
of poison.

80 JkISN
THE WRIST GRIP

Jiu-jitsu, or the art of self-defense
as 1t is being taught in the army and
navy today is a combination of the
japanese jiu-jitsu. American wrest-
ling. Icelandic self-defense and Swe-
dish wrestling. Parts from all are
being used in building up a system
by which an unarmed American maj
overcome the advantage held by an
armed opponent should he n MINI
self in that predicament.
Several STYLES are being taught In
different camps and cantonments, Tor
the methods of teaching are wideiy
varied. With the exception OF the
simple essentials different
have different teaching methods.
In the present series of articles l
will give the system taught by the Z.
NJ. c. A. as showed &c me by ins're
tor Woods, a Y. NJ. G. A. athlete sta
toned at the Great Lakes Naval
Training Station.
The first thing for the pupil OF self
defense to learn is the proper grips.
In taking hold of an opponents
wrist the palm of the hand should
always rest on the inside of the wrist
with the thumb and fingers on the
back of the wrist.
With this grip the opponent IL
turned away from the operator. A
grip with the palm of the hand at
the back of the wrist turns the oppo-
nent In giving him a chance to use
his other hand or his feet.
The grip must be firm and the hold
must be taken with great speed.
1t Is well to note here that all self
defense must be worked with the
greatest possible speed. self-defense
gets results by surprise rather han
by strength and surprise Is only 40
complished by speed.
