MANY STARS ON
 CAMP DEVENS TEAM

Camp Devens is bringing a crack delegation of officers and men to Cam bridge, Saturday to oppose Naval Ra- dio in the Harvard Stadium, the United War Work campaign to profit by the contest
 There are five lieutenants slated to play for the cantonment eleven. three men of even higher rank (captains), two sergeants, and Johnnie Ryan, pri- vate. who has camp rating as a cook.
 Captain Hoban, leader of the team will pla~ fullback and Sergeant Ma lone of Syracuse university quarter back Lieutenant Cobb and Sergeant Davie are former University of Maine players.
 Coach TriDician announced yester- day that Bill Holland quarterback: Orin Cox center, and Bert Cox, right halfback. have recovered from their iniuri received in the tough game against Newport and will be in to- days lineup against Devors. Holland is only 10 and was for two years a member of the University of South Carolina squad. Orin Cox is captain of the guard at the station. and Bert Cox, one of the most 5tudious men aboard ship.

Heisman, coach of Georgia Techs un- beaten elevens, insists that the famous "Heisman Jump Shift" is not illegal. It is that formation, originated by Heisman in 1910 which it is declared has done so much in making the Tech elevens unbeatable.
 Numerous descriptions of the jump shift have appeared in the papers, but each has been either inaccurate, if not actually misleading" declares Heis- man. ITO clear away ali doubts as to the legality of the play and explain it fully, I shall go into details about it now
 Upon original formation the snap per (eenter) with the ball is the only man on the actual scrimmage line. The rest of the linesmen-two guards. two tackles and two ends-are about one yard back of the snapper. An other yard back. on direct line with the snapper is the quarterback Back of the quarterback is the right half, behind him is the fullback and behind the fullback is the left half In other words, the formation is gigantic let ter CT"
 "On a given signal the team, except the snapper, jumps to certain given directions-according to the play called for. They do not all jump alike, either in distance or direction. As a matter of fact the system in its entirety calls for the men to jump in R great variety of differing ways,
 When properly drilled and prac- ticed this jump in unison results in their landing back on earth in perfect unison in their new positions. At the completion of this jump they come to complete stop, as is required by the rules, and seven of them are always found now to be on the line of scrim- mage, as again called for by the rules These seven are, however, not neces- sarily the same seven in all cases.
 Tn their new positions after the jump, the II men pause for the barest fraction of a second. Almost instantly after the shift and the fractional stor of the players on he scrimmage line the ball goes into play, Then the whole team is off the ball, the idea being to transfer a lot of man power to the given point of attack before the. defence can assemble an equal strength in man-power to oppose the assault.
 "The Heisman shift involves not only the backs but the linesmen as well. It IS employed on every close formation play. and calls for great variety of differing and distances o1 jumping on the part of the different men, whereas in most shifts all the men shift uniform distances and 1T i the same direction.
 Early in the season 1t is difficult tC teach new men the thing so they vii not either jump too soon or too late i and thus offend some rule or other 1 but by November it is always found working very smoothly.
 "The best evidence in the world tha the jump shift" is not illegal is tht ] fact that we have employed it in eacl of our games from 1910 in whicl some of the most famous officials il America have been involved-and no one has found fault with it."

Cootias.

In a communication to the National Geographic Society. Herbert Corey tells the story of the greatest pest of the soldiers life in France-the cootie. A part of his communication is issued as the following war geography bulle- tin:
 'The American soldiers speak of the pest as 'cooties.' The French fighter talks of 'totos' and the British tell of 'coddlers.' They know it is not their fault that they are infested, but the effect of years of civilian training per sists. They still feel, against all req son, that there is something shameful in their state. They try to assume a joviality they do not feel, and call the things pants rabbits and seam squir- rels' and speak of reading their shirts
 This is not a pleasant recital, if one thinks in civilian terms of the louse as loathsome and suspects that the men who suffer from this plague are in some way to blame At the very best it cannot be pleasant. But late lJ', since my own people have come in to the war. and because know them best and talk their language, I have begun to realize the moral courage that Is needed to bear this plague without whining.
 -SNAAJ O LAlGAl ilcS IOlu 'IIlC IlIdL to pc under fire would be a tri1e if he could but be clean. Mud and thirst and hunger and cold can be borne with equanimity, but the louse carries the suggestion of degradation. Yet that, too, is sustained bravely.
 I have only known one man who cried because of the plague a sur geon once tod me. That man went into. No Mans Land on reconnaissance at night in as commonplace fashion IS though he were taking the tram for the office of morning.
 :" I don't mind the nights on guard in the front trench many say, be cause the nights are cold and they are quiet. But I dread the coming of the day, when I must crawl back into my duSout and try to sleep and know that l shall have to lie awake and feel Them crawl They become a tor ture'

SIGNS UP
 SOLDIER BALL PLAYERS

Major league players of experience who are in the service, either actively engaged abroad or in training camps in this country, will have an oppor- tunity to turn their experience to ac- count now that the war is ended.
 Such competent experts as Grover Cleveland Alexander and Johnny Evers write from France that the national game over there the past season disclosed the fact that the overseas forces simply bristled with gems of "purest ray serene,' whose light had been hidden under @ bushel before regimental pride prompted them to disport their wares publicly.
 Alexander has already signed no less than half a dozen such embryo stars for Fred Mitchelps Cubs, the lot including a couple of pitchers and several heavy hitting outfelders. Evers declares the class of the better army hines superior to that of even the better known minor leagues. What holds good for France should hold equally good in many of the training camps here, for all the colts as yet have not been sent overseas.

 Faircloth, who won 28 games and lost with McAl1ister last season, says at least a dozen of his acquain- tances in the big training camp have i been interviewed by big league scouts. Joe Doyle, a third baseman of the same camp, has actually signed with the Cardinals his contract stipulating that he shall report to St. Louis inn diately he is mustered out of the service

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR AMATEUR TRAPSHOoTERS
 Bv L, w. HUTCHINS

Trapshooters of America have not been slow to realize the great impor- tance of their work in winning the war.
 Even before the shotgun was for mally adopted by General Pershing as a regular infantry. weapon, they had formulated plans for the organiza- tion of an amateur association air had undertaken the task of extending the use of the shotgun among the non- shooting public and of teaching draft ees to shoot.
 Recently when Germany protested against our use of the shotgun, to which Secretary Lansing replied. 'the shotgun now in use by the American army cannot be the subject of legiti- mate reasonable protest" the new as- sociation was taking final steps in the formation of it's organization. The old Interstate TrapshoOting Association, through it's development department, was being reorganized along new and broader lines, and the American Anna teur Trapshooters' Association was being combined with it.
 The plans for the new association are in many ways similar to the A. A. U. and the U. s. Golf Association. They provide for the membership of all amateur shooters, who will con- trol the sport through representatives from the State associations. In ad- diion to these memberships provis- ions are made for supporting mem berships by all interested organiza- tions-clubs dealers and manufactur- CTS. The headquarters of the new as- sociation are at No. 460 Fourth ave- nue New York City

Why Called "HIoodhounds."

Bloodhounds were first known as southhounds, owing to their ability to track the deer, wild boar or the wolf. When the wounded game broke away and was lost these good-nosed dogs were used in tracking the quarry by the blood trail, and hence they were finally called bloodhnunds.

Enlarged Activities of the Association.

It is proposed that the new ASSocia- ton shall compile the averages of all shooters and arrange for their handi- capping and classification. It will also arrange for and provide trophies, award medals determine rules an reg ulations for the sport and for the de- termination of State and national champions. It is proposed that a meeting shall be held each year of representatives from all State Associ- ations, where officers, the National Board of Directors and the National Committees will be elected.
 But the Association is not waiting for the completion of it's organiza- tion in all it's details before taking up it's share of the paramount task of the present. One of it's first undertakings is national campaign for the teach ing of draftees how to shoot. A gen. eral call has been sent to more than four thousand trapshooting and gun clubs, asking that they not only give over their shooting facilities to draft ees. but that they take it upon them selves to teach these men how to handle guns and how to shoot.
 In New York Governor Whitman has backed up this call by an official re- quest, in which he says:
 Tn connection with the work of turning out New York States quota under the new draft as expeditiously and effectively as possible. it has occurred to me that it may be pos sible, during this fall and winter. to give the men subject to the draft a very valuable initial training in the handling of fire arms, through the cooperation of the large number of
 sportsmen's clubs throughout the State . .Inasmuch as quickness of eye and hand. and accuracy of aim are developed with a shotgun quite as much as with the rife, and in further view of the fact that shot ] guns are coming to be extensively used in actual fighting, there is quite as much opportunity for the
 clubs devoted exclusively to trap
 shooting to render an important service in this way as for those clubs that specialize in rifle shooting" | It is expected that other State Ex- 1 ecutives will follow Governor Whit mans lead. All shooters, or would-b be shooters, are invited to correspond with the National Headquarters and to become members of the new associ- ation.

Registration books for voters who wish to participate in the coming cleo tiOn are now open. Recorder Calli- cotte is very vigilant in getting every voter to register. He is exceeding the law, going from house to house, which is a great accommodation to the lady voters, and which every person should appreciate. If you do not register you have only your self to blame. Don't curse politics and say all are corrupt if your flaw orite is not nominated. If you do not qualify as voter you disfranchise yourself, and make it easier for "the rascals" to control the politics of the county.
 It is your duty to go to the regis tratlon booths and qualify, but the Recorder is now engaged in a house to house endeavor to secure every voter, male and female. Don't get mad and say 'the went to Jones' house and passed me, and I aint going to register just for spite. g That kind of tactics is what the other fellow wants, and if you don't get vour man you have no one to blame but yourself if you are disfranchised

Post Office Improvements
 Clifton's post office is fast evolv- ing into one of the most up-to-date government quarters in Arizona Re- gently the building was completely remodeled on the interior, lobby en- larged, and the working space on the inside greatly increased. New lock boxes were placed, and other things added which worked for better work ing conditions, and more accommoda- tions for the public. This week new features have been added. The inter- for is now lighted with five arch lights, and two ceiling fans agitate the atmosphere to very comfortable temperature. The postmaster's of. flee is lighted by handsome electrol- ier, while six clusters of electric light bulbs now make the lobby as light as day. Over the desk in the lobby is also placed light, for the accommo- dation of the public. These added features now make the office one of the best equipped to be found in any town the size of Clifton.
