Have you Seen the War
Models on the Street

There are four of them,
labeled German Kultur in
Belgium, "U. S. Army
Trucks in France" ~. S.
Tanks in Action, and "A U.
S. Raiding Party Going Over
the Top" and they will help
you visualize war and the
horrors of war.
The models show wrecked
cathedrals, places of beauty
that have long been shrines
for pilgrims; ruined homes;
a battlefield as it is now on
the Western Front; a trench
with a line of soldiers re-
pulsing an attack while dead
and dying men lie all around.
Mothers and teachers are
bringing children down SO
that their little minds may
grasp the meaning of it all.
Soldiers and men of business
stand interested spectators
before these very graphic
models.
Over the models hangs
O L d GL LORY-OLD d
GLORY that has never been
furled BY foe. Wouldn't
YOU like to man one of the
tanks, to drive or equip one
OF the supply trucks, to help
restore happiness to one of
those ruined homes, to bring
comfort to the men who
fight, and who perhaps lie
suffering right now on these
battlefelds?

buying a LIBERTY BOND,

such models as these shown
to visualize a town in the
United States of America.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. 9:-Fos-
ter Sanford's Rutgers football team
left last night for Penn State, where
they will meet State College in what
promises to be the hardest game on
the Rutgers schedule. 1t is probable
that both Cliff Baker, quarterback.
and Frank Kelley, halfback, who were
out of Tuesdays contest will start to-
day. Both of them were suffering
from minor injuries and Coach San
fore did not want to take any chances
of hurting them still further. French
and Kull, who have proved such able
substitutes. will also probably get a
chance this afternoon.
The other players on the Rutgers
team are in splendid condition, with
the exception of Francke, center, who
is probably laid UP for the season.
Paul Robson, the sensational end,
and Joe Breckley will take care of the
extreme; Captain Feitner and George
Mount. the latter a freshman, will be
on the tackles; Neuschaefer and Roll
Inns, who have beer declared by crit
les to be two of the best linemen IN
the country, will be the guards. and

Inventor Of Basketball
Brings Game To France

Basketball in its early days was nota
very scientific sport, but it was nvey
and full of fun and the gallery soon
was we'll filled with persons h came
to watch the players milling around
and furnishing material TOT many
laughs.
The first goals were a couple or
peach baskets fastened to the walls or
the gymnasium and tilted slightly for-
ward DIR. Naismith figured 1t out
that the baskets should be about elgn-
teen inches in diameter, which size
has remained standard. A soccer ball
was used originally, however, and as
the present sphere is slightly larger
than that, the player nov has less
margin for his shots. 1t was some
time after the invention OF the game
that the regulation backboards were
authorized and the players began 10
use the carom shots off this board. In
the early days, the goal a TO De
reached by q straight toss unless the
ball happened accidentally TO pouhu
OF the wall into IL.
1t was some time after the inven-
ton of the game thai the r~egulatloh
~backboards were authorized ana the
players began to use the carom shot
off this board. In the early days, the
goal had to be reached by a stralgnt
toss, unless the ball happened acci-
dentally to bound off h wall into IL.
Accuracy in shooting, and in pass
ing, team work and trick plays have
been added to the repertoire of the
sport since DIR. Naismith first taoAed
his peach baskets to the wall of the
years ago. Fran a free-for-all scurls
Springfield gymnasium tywenty-seven
the game has developed n q very
scientific affair in which the top notch
teams play true to form" and the
dope" is fairly reliable. In the east
ern section Of the United States u
has been professionalism with consid.
cradle success. which is the surest
proof in the world that II is q good
game. A poor IN wouldn't stand n
test of being played by men who make
their living at 1t.
DIR. Naismith takes considerable
satisfaction in seeing the sport OF
which he was the father, hold a place
as one of the most popular muse
ments In the American army In
France. The soldiers will give 1t q
prominent spot or their athletic pro-
gram this winter and some teams will
be developed that will be equal to the
best Of the amateur organizations now
in Uncle Sans service also, and, as
the army is not governed by A. A. U.
rules. these men will be able TO COM

IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS
Fire 1917 Model Rifle
Are UnequaIed for Speed

Thousands of ri1emen, both sol
diers and civilians, left Camp Perry
at the close of the 1918 national
matches, thoroughly convinced that
for rapid-ire at short ranges n
Model 1917 rifle could not be equaled.
When most of the civilian teams
arrived at Camp Perry the new rifles
were objects of considerable curios-
'ity., Although practically every man
was familiar with the workings OF
the Krag and the Springfield, the
mechanism and the sighting equip
ment of the Model 1917 were deep
mysteries. And it must be admitted
that at first the civilian shots did not
take kindly to the new weapon, even
after ten days of nj work with 1t.
When the National Rife Associa-
ton matches began the civilian rifle
men still mistrusted the new weapon,
but only two events were needed to
give every man a comprehensive idea
of Just wherein the Model 1917 is 60
ing to make history before the war
has ended.
Those two events were the rapid
fire match at 200 yards and the rapid
fire match at 800 yards. When the
scores in these competitions were
published 1t was found that twenty
five competitors had made perfect
scores and that ~forty-six had tied in
second place on totals of forty-nine
in the 200-yard match and that in
the 300-yard match fifty-one entrants
made As points or better.
These results cannot be equaled by
any past performances in rapid-fire
matches, especially under the rather
unfavorable shooting conditions
which prevailed.
The chances are good that al
though open fighting may come
along the western front before many
more months pass, the fighting will
hardly be at distances informally
greater than 800 yards. Therefore
there could be no better Weapon than
the Model 1917 for the rank and file
of the army.
In many instances during the
matches 1t va demonstrated repeat
eddy that while the Model 1917 is es-
~sentially O rifle for use at relatively
short ranges, 1t is capable of putting
on a good score at 1~,000xyards in the
hands of men who understand the
art of holding off for windage.

Rutgers May Tackle Great
Lakes Eleven at New York

Bill Roper today is a lot nearer to
his ambition to stage a real big foot
ball game at the Polo Grounds for the
War Work Campaign Fund
he has been at any time since
tackling his big job. The outlook to-
day is exceptionally bright for a meet
ing between Rutgers and the Great
Naval Training School In the
shadow of Mr.. Coogan's overgrown
stonewall one week from tomorrow.
Fror Chicago has come word to Mr..
Roper that the jackies are willing TO
play in New York on that date. Ante
dating the Great Lakes offer by only
a comparatively few hours was the
announcement that the University OF
West Virginia ~gridironers would be
quite unable to keep their appoint
ment with the Scarlet for November.
As the jackies in their consent to play
at the Polo Grounds have left the
choice of an opponent entirely In the
hands of Mr.. Roper and as the Rut-
gers bunch have been challenging the
football world, 1t is but reasonable to
ssum that the Scarlet will get the
date. At any rate Rutgers on the
strength of what has been accom-
plished by the Nelson Field machine
this season. is the logical opponent
for the highly regarded Westerners.

trict was in attendance.
After a general discussion the fol-
lowing list of bouts were agreed on,
the managers of the boxers giving
their assent and promising to have
their men in the ring:
Benny Leonard, lightweight cham
pion. VS.. Jack Britton. former weller
champion.

Each bout will be Of six rounds,
and there was q general understand

as though they were to receive a
large purse.
The suggestion was made that each
boxer be compelled to post a forfeit
of $1,000 to box strictly on his merits
but some of the managers declared
that the boxing industry had not
been prosperous enough In recent
times to warrant 1t.
