The Man With the Gun

Ordinarily men don't enjoy a pic
mic. The women knit and talk and
the children ave a grand and glori-
GUS time but the men get tired of It
pretty quickly and are inclined to
count 1t a day wasted. What they
ought TO do, suggests one enthusiast,
il to hunt up their trusty shotguns
and have a little clay target shooting
match. 1t would make the time pass
o rapidly, and 1t would be patri-
otto.
Since 1t is possible tina any man
up to 46 is liable to have to go to war,
any practice he puts in on any of the
things he will have to do IL he does
have to go. will be time well spent.
And shooting is one of the most Inn
portant details of military activity.
A man who can qualify as an expert
shot, even with a shotgun. is going
to find the rough road Just a little
easier.
The idea of using shotguns In war
would have been laughed at a few
months ago, but it isn't anything to
laugh at now. One authority states
that n out of every ten soldiers is
being given a ~''sawed-off" shotgun,
loaded with buckshot, and is given
special instruction in how to use 1t
most effectively. The shotgun is COM
ing into ats own as a military weapon.
One mi help but wonder what
the effect of millions of our men get
ting used 10 carrying and using rifles
and shotguns is going to be. Men
who had held q rife In their
hands. and probably eve would
have done so. have been taught all
about them INT q learned to o

West Virginia Football
Team Has Stiff Schedule

The West Virginia University FOOT
ball schedule for 1913, as announced.
is not only one Of the most difficult
ever arranged for a Mountafneer
eleven, put perhaps calls for West
Virginia to meet a stronger bunch of
opponents than any other college
eleven in the country will face this
fall. The University of Pittsburgh,
Army. Washington and Jefferson,
Rutgers. Nebraska University and the
Michigan "Aggies' are the strongest
teams to be met, and this sextet
probably excels any other six teams
in the country in point of strength
and standing on the gridiron.
To cope with this schedule West
Virginia will have five veterans from
last year. Lentz and Lewis. backs,
and ex-Capt. Bailey, McCue and Mer-
.ideth in the line. A goodly number
of strong substitutes are available,
too, but the team will undoubtedly
miss Rodgers. Harrick. Hager, King,
Ice. Mills. Heavier and Harris, all
varsity men Of last year, who are in
the service
The complete schedule follows:
Oct. 5-Marietta College at Nor
'gantown.
Oct. 12-University of Pittsburgh
at Pittsburgh, Pa.
Oct. 19-Army at West Point, N. Y.
Oct. 26-University OF Nebraska at

THE WAR DEPT.
Washington Advises That Col
Iege Gridiron Plans for the
Fall be Dropped

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13-College5
and universities with students army
training corps units have been aovis-
ed by the Wal Department not to
make plans for football schedules this
fall. This became known today when
senators began receiving protests from
educational Institutions In their home
srltes.
Officials of the University of Ne
b-aska advised Senator Hitchcock
that such a step would result in
heavy fnanmial loss, because the uni
versity is under contract to play
teams from other leading states.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1s-The POSSIBLE
tty of the complete suspension of foot
ball in all important colleges and uni
yersities In the country as a war
measure doomed up strongly tonight
as a result of the War Department
request that no fall gridiron sched-
ules be arranged by educational in
situations having student army train
ing corps.
All OF the big universities in the
Middle West had already made plans
for carrying out-the 1918 schedules,
/, OF the intercollegiate sport came as
q distinct surprise.
Practice was to start in the big
Ten" conference text Monday and
similar plans for the practice season
were under way in h Missouri Val
ley conference. Extensive schedules
had been arranged by every M
p~ortant institution, many of the
games being scheduled with service
elevcnts.
Officials in the University of Chi
cago said the War Department re-
quest undoubtedly means that all
spare time of the students will be de-
voted to military instruction instead
of athletics, and that there would be
no time for the development of foot
ball.
Every able bodied student will be
enrolled in the military unit and will
live exactly under training camp con-
ditions, devotjng fourteen hours
weekly to military drill and forty
two hours weekly to to academic stud
les ON military problems" said David
A. Robertson. secretary to President
Judson of the University of Chicago.
Under that program there viii
be no time for football. II would be
impossible to spare the time to train
men for the game. The great need
of course. is the development of off,
GERS of the army. and IL football
must be given up there will be no
other course to pursue
Alonzo A. Stagg. the veteran coach
at the university, was surprised at
the request, as he understood that the
military program would not inter
fere with the game. He pointed to the
fact hat in the development of foot
ball at West Point the players devoted
less than an hour a day to practice
and that he would attempt to build q
team under the same circumstances.
Stage said:
II can see no reason for the suspen-
sion of the sport. Football undoubt-
eddy would make better officers.
Every member OF the 1916 University
of Minnesota eleven. boil regular and
substitute, is an officer In the army.
and they are giving a good account of
themselves In anc Former stars
OF C~hicago's football field also are
making good officers"
The abandonment of the game will
result in heavy financial losses as the
proceeds of the sport usually met the
deficit In baseball and other college
games.

Commissioner Smith Sees
Champion Leonard in Hard
Workout for Lewis Battle

Chairman John S. Smith of the New
Jersey Boxing Commission, and Sec
rotary Burdick were the guests OF
Benny Leonard. the worlds light
weight champion, at his training
quarters at Grupp's Gym yesterday
afternoon. The moguls came over
from Jersey especially to watch the
boss of tho 1ss-pounders go through
his training stunts for his titular bout
with Ted-Kid Lewis, the welterweight
champion, in Wfedenmayer's Park,
Newark. the night OF September 20.
Leonard's showing greatly i'm
pressed the chairman. who watched
intently every move of the light
weight champion as the latter went
through an arduous session of hand
ball. bag-punching and boxing. The
workout lasted an hour. n at its
termination Benny showed no signs
of physical exhaustion, although he
kept on the move all h time.
After watching Leonard work so
hard" said Chairman Smith, 81 am
convinced that the bout is absolutely
on the up-and-up and that 1t will be
honestly contested. I would not hest
tate a moment to stop 1t il 1 thought
otherwise.
This bout between two genuine
champions Is the best boost for the
boxing game In Jersey, particularly as
Lewis and Leonard are Of the fighting
type, inc l am sure the contest will
be full Of action every second they
are in the ring. The glove sport I'm
Jersey must be kept thoroughly clean
as long as I am connected with the
commission. and there certainly Is no
suspicion attached to this bout, as
both the principals have always put
forth their best efforts"
Leonard will give a boxing exhibit
ton at Forest Hills this evening for
the benefit Of the Red Cross, while
Lewis will give a display OF his skill
at the show in Wiedenmayer's Park
tonight for the benefit of the family
of Detective Abudato. who was killed
in the performance of his duty.
