A Drag at the Pipe.

There was man in our town
And lie was wOndrOus wise
And never yet was out and down
Because he'd advertise.
And this guy never told lie
Or hacked cherry tree
Or built his fame on methods sly,
A smooth gazabO, he.
And so he piled up dough and fame
And friends he had by scores
Nor is it strange all good things came
Right to his very doors.
But when your pipe goes out and 20,
wake up. you realize there aren't owe

Made Six Trips Through France.

81 have learned more the year have
been in the army than in any four years
/ ever went to school," is the charae-
terizatiOn Clarence C. Walden, Com
pany f, 1O9th NJ s. T., in France,
makes of his army experience. Albeit,
he says: I'VE are still hoping to get
home sOon.''
In a very interesting letter written
to friend here, the Webster City boy,
son of MI. and Mrs. Nj. NJ. Walden,
says:
I'VE have made six trips through
France and on the last one we went
all the way to Germany. We delivered
our cars to the Third army ordnance
department depot, and while up there
crossed the Rhine. When we arrived
in, Germany, we were prepared for that
party I mentioned in my previous let
tiers, but to our CONSERVATION, what
should we. find but an empty palace
the kaiser had gone to visit friends
in Holland, so his lodge keeper told us.
Nevertheless we had our party and en-
joyed it very much.
Son this trip we went over all the
old battle fields, except Chateau Thier-
~. We visited Verdun, Metz and Ar
come Forest.
Verdun doesn't look like it was ever
a city; it looks like large stone quar-
ry or like someone had used it for a
stone dump and had been using it for
about fifteen centuries.
The Argonne Forest is full Of shell
holes, barb, wire entanglements and
trenches, while with Metz, you would
never know whether it was in the war
Or not
We are still hoping to get home soon
but as yet have not even heard ru-
NOR of us coming home. There is Il
rumor that we are going to move, but
where to, nobody seems to know. /

now all but Paris. If can get trip
up there before I go home, will feel

And now the ROastery club is sore
on this here paper. It's all because
when they had that last jamboree OF
theirs, we overlooked mentioning the
presence of one of our force. But with
Mike Sparboe--yes, honest, that's his
middle name-Ben Dubois and Earl
Mason present, it would seem one might
be pardOned for overlooking himself,
merely in the interest of saving his
reputation in the community. But just
to be fair about it, next time these
birds gather for gabfeast, We're go
ing to leave julius Bermann's name out
That ought to square things, we'd say.

8 Since 1893 the two institutions have
Nplayed twenty-one games. The Army
%contests, one game was tie and the
navy won the others. Therefore. there
stis that much more incentive for the
navy TO grab off victory this after
nnoon. viii the sailors do this or will
1the soldiers come through top?
mthat of course is the big question OF
Mthe day
|. OF all games this season. this ap
apears to be about rs evenly matched
Sas any. The Army probably will be a
xstlght favorite If either team is made
$50. but the chances are that the bet
sting will remain at even money at all
stimes.
9 Undoubtedly the game will resolve
Jtself into contest between an eleven
with we'll developed open style of
Fplay, the Navy; and one with smash
gihg, line bucking ofense, the Army.
ss'Ehe defense OF the two teams is fine
Mas has been proved in their contests
sthis season.
) But the Army has not yet shown
~ hat it has perfected q defense against
athe forward pass. Notre Dame. a
nlighter but faster aggregation, trimmed
rthe cadets, because the West Pointers
Stalled to block the overhead passes of
z The Westerners. 1t is assumed that
{ the upstaters have profited froiA the
= experience gained in that game and
s bave found way to stop forward
s passes. If it has not it is quite likely
that the Navy will be the victor
If it has formed a defense for the
open game the Army has an excellent
chance of winning. While the Navy
lads will have little to fear from the
!. Army in the way of forward passing
game, they will have much to worry
about when the Army comes pounding
along with its tank-like line smashes.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-29

IN this particular department the so,-
dlers have shown themselves to be ey.
tremely proficient
The Army also has the ADVANTAGE in
having had the harder schedule and
WITH green eleven it has done yerv
well against some tough opponents
Syracuse beat the cadets early in ne
season to 8, and Notre Dame won
out u to 8. The cadets won all the
others. The Navy was beaten by the
only good team it played. Georgetown.
by two field goals ~
This game. however. evidently was
just what the sailors needed. for il
came back the following Aeek and ran
up l21 points against Colby. Even if
Colby was poor team, tallying l21
points in game is quite an accom-
plishment. A team must be remark
ably fast to score that many in run
ming through signals, let alone an
actual contest
From this it would appt ar the Navy
has come back strongly, so that to-
days scrap should be about as close
as any ever played between the two
teams. q

Special Correspondence


NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov. 2s.-"The
Yale Alumni Weekly" tonight threw
up its hands and agreed with the sport
lost the Princeton and Harvard games
because it stuck to football Of the
antique and discarded type. 1t said
editorially:
The old traditional hammer-and-
tongs football, in which Yale's name
was paramount on the gridiron for
generations Of Yale players, has gone
by the board not to return. Open play.
represented by the forward pass is the
new order of things on the football
field, and Yale must accept the change,
however difficult it is for her mentors,
who have been brought up on the old
system. Iale has learned this lesson,
we hope
The Yale team. up to the limit of
its know edge and preparation for
emergencies, conducted Itself on the
finest of traditional Yale athletic
models. There was no falling off in
It's hghting spirit nor in its under
graduate backing. The team deserved
better record than its opponents per-
mitted it to make. We offer our CON
gratulations to Princeton and Harvard,
and propose a better season next year
for Yale"
1t will be recalled that "The Weekly"
said about the same thing after Yale's
defeat by Boston College, but IN mid
season ceased adverse comment after
undergraduate communications had
been sent to "The Yale Daily News"
which accused The Weekly" of being
rlgldly critical of varsity teams.
