South High Smothers
University Place Eleven

Piling up score of 81 points and
holding their opponents scoreless
South Highs snappy little foot ball
team smothered the University
Place team in an easy game played
at Luxus park yesterday afternoon.
The visitors sent down light team
which was unable to resist South
Highs smashing line plays. AL
though Volz won chief honors, FIVE
members of the team carried the
ball over the last line.
Harley, the University Place cap
tain, played the best game for the
losers, but was carried to the side
lines with three broken ribs in the
last quarter. Weber and Kennedy
of the locals also suffered from in
juries. The spectacular play of the
game was VOLTS 70-yard end run
for touchdown.
Touchdowns were made by Volz
(2), Gard (2), Etter (2), Uvick and
Anderson. Volz kicked six goals.
The lineup for South High was:
Kennedy, left end; Morris, left
tackle; Sweringen, left guard; Pet
ersen, center; Anderson, right guard !;
Weber, right tackle; Higgins, right
end; Etter, quarterback; Volz, left
half; Uvick, right half and Gard, full
back. Substitutes were Bennington,
Broadwell and Shingles.

Prophecy Of War S End
Fulfilled as Leaning
Madonna Statue Falls

London, Nov. 15.-People of Al.
bert, France, are convinced that
their prophecy has been fulfilled, that
when the famous statue of the Ma
donna at Albert fell the war would
end in victory for France and her
allies. This quaint conceit grew out
of the fact that the statue was dis
lodged by German shell fire from its
perch on the tower of the church at
Albert during the first mad rush of
the Huns through France in 1914.
The base of the statue was so shat
tered that it hung over the main
road from Amiens to Bapaume
which passed the walls of the
church.
Ting statue remained in that
strange poise after the Huns had
been rolled back by the battle of the
Marine An effort was made to brace
the statue i its recumbent position
so that it could not fall until the
tower itself gave way.
When the British line was driven
back in March last the Hun again
entered Albert and when the Ger
mans retired at the beginning of the
allied offensive the tower with its
statue had fallen. This, curiously,
marked the high tide of German in
vasion. From that day on the Hun
hordes were pressed back. The peo-
pie of Albert believe luck of the
Germans deserted them when the
Virgin OF Albert fell.

TWO CAMP teams
TO CLASH TODAY
FOR Grid HONOR
Grant Eleven Arrives Ready
for Foot Ball Battle With
Fort Omaha Huskies
at ROurke Park.

If confidence counts, Fort Omaha
foot ball eleven will beat Camp
Grant this afternoon at Rourke park
All Fort Omaha paraded the streets
last night with huge Sausage
balloon in the lead and music galore
After the parade, yells were given
on the court house square. Despite
a drizzling rain the boys in khakai
showed as much pep" as any col
legians ever did.
Omaha Friday presented much the
appearance of military reserve, a
feature that has never before been
seen here. A military seem, de-
plcting camp life, was established
on the court house lawn; Fort
Omaha balloon was sent into the
air and the soldier band from Fort
Omaha paraded the streets.
The erection of military camp
on the court house lawn began
shortly after 10 o'clock, and by noon
was nearly completed. There were
II guards and Is privates engaged
in the work of erecting the camp,
which will remain in that location
until Saturday noon. Throughout
Friday night a military guard was
thrown around the camp and mil
itary regulations prevailed.
The arrival Friday morning of the
Camp Grant foot ball team and
party, numbering about so, was the
signal for Omaha to start the ball
rolling to boost the big gridiron
battle. Throughout Friday there
was an unending program of fea-
lures and entertainments on the
streets to remind all that Saturday
is Army day in Omaha.
The following officers from Fort
Omaha and Fort Crook, together
with the Camp Grant party and both
teams who will play Saturday, were
present at the Chamber of Com
merce luncheon:

PROSPECTS FOR
B ASE BALI. IN
1919 ARE GOOD
Soldiers Returning from Camp
and Battlefield Will Do
Much to Boost the Ma
tiOnaI PaStime.

Peoria, Ill.,, Nov. 15.-With the
signing of peace negotiations base
ball in the minor leagues will be
resumed, on a larger scale than
ever, in the opinion of John H. Far
rell of Auburn, N. Y, secretary Of
the National Association of Profess
sional Base Ball leagues, VINO today
closed up the affairs of the annual
meeting. Settlement of dozen dis
putes, involving various claims of
players and clubs, were made by
the national board of arbitration.
Soldiers returning from the bat
tlefelds of France and the training
camps will do much to bring base
ball back to its former popularity,
Secretary Farrell believes. The
soldiers and sailors in the army
camps and naval bases have taught
the game to thousands of men who,
previous to their national service,
had never swung a bat or pulled
on 4 glove.
The special meeting of the ma
tional association. to be held in Chi
cago after the first of the year, will
be called as soon as the major
leagues decide on the course they
will pursue in regard to the 1919
season, said M. H. Sexton of Rock
Island, ILL.,, president OF the asso-
citation.
Definite plans for the resump-
ton of the sport will = taken a
TIE meeting, President Sexton said.

"No Chance for Fight"
Comiskey's Comment
on Base Ball Situation

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Charles Com
:sky, owner of the Chicago Ameri-
cans, said tonight that he did not
believe the action of the minor
leagues in deciding that the major
leagues should draft no more of their
players would result in a base ball
war.
There is no chance for a fight"
President Comisky said. "The
major leagues need the minors and
the minor leagues need the majors.
1t has been my experience that the
minor leaguers were always willing
to dispose of their players, and l
am convinced the situation will be
adjusted"
The conference between President
Ban Johnson of the American
league and August Hermann of Gin
cinnati, chairman OF the National
Base Ball commission, was postpon-
ed until tomorrow.
