several types, radio operators, food

others with which we are by this
time familiar. Many women who are
not actually serving at cantonments

which demand their time; so for five

Though dressy is hardly the work to

On several occasions the word has
been spread that women are no longer
bothering with clothes; that style
means nothing since we have the war
to think about. The absurdity of
such q statement is quite obvious;
women are just as anxious to look
pleasing to the eye as they ever
were. While they are eschewing the
extreme and elaborate in dress, they
are demanding just as smart clothes
as ever, and in a greater diversity of
style. Since smart simplicity is the
standard, designers are bending

|CAMP DIX SWAMPED
 BY CAMP GREENLEAF
Georgia Medicos Hold New Jersey Team Scoreless
 and Make 34 Points

Washington, December 7-With Secre- tary Baker and high officers of the army as spectators, Camp Greenleaf of Georgia defeated Camp Dix of New Jersey 34 to , in an intersectional football game here today for the training camp championship of the east. Both teams were composed of former university and college stars, but the Greenleaf eleven outweighed and outplayed it's opponents.
 Only once did the New Jersey camp team appear dangerous while Camp Greenleaf played almost altogether in the territory of its opponents. The Georgia medicos scored two touchdowns in the first period and one in each of the suc- ceeding periods. Sutherland, former Uni versity of Pittsburg star and selected for the all-American team in 1917 by many critics, was the mainstay of the Greenleaf team.
 Camp Greenleaf played consistent foot ball throughout the contest, mixing for ward passes with carefully masked run ming plays. Dix played a strong defen- sive game after the first period.

Acipco Star Neutral
 in Grid" Controversy
 Between Local Teams

Birmt nam, Ala, December 6, l91s. Mr Robert McDavid, Sporting Editor,
 Birmingham Age-Herald.
 Dear Sir: My attention has been called to news item in your paper under date of December 5, in which I have been quoted as stating that the Ensley High football team has the strongest claim to the scholastic foot eball championship of the district. l wish to correct this statement and request that you allow me space to do so.
 The Acipco Y NJ c. As team played both Ensley and Bessemer High school teams. In fact both game swere played in the same week. We met Ensley at Acipco, Wednesday, November 6. and played them to scoreless stiel and the Saturday following, November 9, Bes- semer was played with practically the same team, and we lost to them, l2 to 0. We lost through our inability to stop Baty, the plunging fullback, of the Bessemer team, who was the only man on the Bessemer team who could make consistent gains over us. Baty scored both touchdowns of the game.
 In our game with Ensley it might be well to mention that only once was the ball advanced to our 1O-yard line. At this stage of the game Ensley's best ground gainer, Tidmore, was forced to retire from the game, be- cause of injuries, and after that Ems ley seemed to lose their effectiveness.
 For reasons known to the Ensley team. it is quite possible that all plays in their repertoire were not tried out; whereas the Bessemer team was not handicapped in this respect and every thing Red Harris had taught them was used against us. ~
 Now, wish to repeat as nearly as possible what I did say to the Ensley team. Several Ensley players asked me for my opinion of the Bessemer boys, and I told them that Bessemer only had one man who advanced the ball in their game with us, and if they could stop him, they would have all equal chance of winning over them.
 At Acipco we feel that in the Ems ley and Bessemer High schools we have many friends and I am sure that none of us would be so unwise as to pub- licly state that one school has 8 stronger team than the other. %
 Last seasonsI recall that post-sea- son game was played here in Birming- ham to decide disputed state inter- 4 scholastic football championship. The argument resulted in Birmingham Gen. tral and Fayette County High schools meeting at Redwood. It seems to nit If an out-of-town team is willing tt meet another in their own back yard' and settle the dispute. then surely two local teams can arrange to get to- gether
 There should be no dispute or claims z made if these two contenders cannot arrange a game to settle matters am very sorry that I was misquoted and I felt that I should correct tht statement. Sincerely yours.

AUBURN DEFEATED BY CAMP SHERIDAN Plainsmen Lose a Hard Fought Game in Last
 Quarter

Montgomery, December 7.-Holding the heavier Camp Sheridan scoreless until the last quarter of a well-played game here today, the Auburn team went down in defeat by score of z to o in their closing game of the 1918 season. But for an offside penalty on their one-foot line. the Plainsmen would have kept the Sheridan team from scoring. With their backs to the wall the Auburnites had held the soldiers for downs and on the last play the penalty was inflicted and gave the soldiers a first down. Van Aiken of the Sheridans carried the Nball over on the next play.
 In the first half the soldiers lost the ball on downs within the one-yard line. The light Plainsmen played fast and flu riously. Their fierce charging caused Ashbaugh, former captain of Cornell, to hurry his drop kicks in tries for goal from the field and on two occasions these kicks were blocked

 structed Griffin not to box but to
 fight to the best of his ability. The
 packer then told Skelly 1t was only
 to be an exhibition and not to handle
 Griffin in rough way. In this way
 the packer had figured skelly would
 be given the best sort of workout pos
 sible.
 Griffin came out of the corner for
 the first session of fighting rushing
 Skelly with surprising fury. The
 youngster, unprepared for such all on-
 slaught, and not really suspecting its
 motive. made but little effort to pro- tect himself As a result, one of the earliest of Griffn's punches went crashing against Skelly's nose and broke 1t. At once Skellys packers and
 the bout-that in the sickly condition
 and with broken nose he didn't have a chance to win from Dixon. 'Dixon would give you the greatest fight of your career even If you were in perfect shape" they told him. You
 haven't a ghost of a chance with him as you now are"
 l But Skelly insisted upon going through with the match.
 When Skelly climbed through the l ropes that night to face his dusky rival he looked wan and sadly out of his usual condition. Furthermore, his i swollen nose tipped off" Dixon to 1 the accident and the brAiny negro at 1 once took advantage of it.
 1 Dixon began peppering Skelly's face l from the outset, making the fractured nose the particular target. Before the third round was we'll under way. Dixon had Skelly in such a condition that Skelly's seconds wanted to toss in the 1 sponge. But Skelly refused to per- init it. He wanted to fight on in the I barren hope of chance victory But Through the fifth. sixth and sew cnth rounds the marvellous Dixon 1 rained punches Npon Skelly's face and bodyAand reduced the amateur king to I a bleeding and groggy human. Skelly, with remarkable show of gameness,
 answered the call of time for the ] eighth round. but was so weak that 8 l few punches from Dixon floored hin. With a great effort Skelly arose to his feet only to meet with right handler to the face which sent him l toppling to the canvas once again. l And then it was that Joe Choynski.
