The announcement that American soldiers who have been
fighting in the SHOWS and ice of Russian for a year or more
are to be sent home will gladden. their hearts and bring joy to
their families.

early stages OF their repatriation. OF all countries in the world
Russia. and especially around Archangel, is the most dreary and
inhospitabe for an American.
The American soldiers have been fighting the Bolshevists,
who overthrow despohsm and established anarchy in Russia
and the ISSUES have not been very well defined. The American
soldier who saw his blood incarnadining the snow could not tel
in a manner satisfactory to himself why it was being spilled.
He enlisted and went overseas to fight the Hun and make
the world safe for democracy, and it was never his intention to
police the Arctic regions and the north pole, English soldiers
have been sent to take his place, which is eminently proper
because England must be on the ground ready to repel Ger
many and suppress Russian Bolshevism when they unite, as they
will, to menace India.

Gray, who, with the ~present-day war
riors, ave assurance that the future Is
safe in the hands of the men who
turned back the hOrdes Of autocracE

Dewitt. First through the right side,
then off left tackle he shot for 5, s, 10
and Is yards. He plunged hard and
low, picked his holes we'll and was
aided by splendid line work and inter-
ference by Bryant But McDevitt
could not win alone, he needed as
Sistanee.
And when he got this assistance in
the second half, it was a walk away
for the Coyotes. Bryant and Gilland
speeded up on their play in this half
but when a few yards were needed
for first down, it was McDevitt who
was the trial horse. And it was Nc
Dewitt who made the yardage. He was
always good for four yards at the
least He was the one safe bet on
the Coyote team.
Tackles Play Well
Corral and Becker, the tackles, also
materially aided in advancing the ball
during the third and fourth periods
and the second touchdown of the game
the one that put the Coyotes to the
front was directly the result of two
tackle around plays by Corral which
netted the Coyotes something like Is
yards and gave them a first down with

end, also were an important factor, the
first Coyote touchdown resulting from
a short pass over the line to Gilland
who evaded q half dozen tacklers in
his mad rush to the final chalk mark,
8 yards away.
The third and final touchdown of the
half was the result of another for
ward pass, this time Gilland on the
passing end and Bryant on the receiv-
ing end, the latter carrying the bali
over after a 12-yard sprint.
Bryants splendid kicking was an
other big factor in the Coyote victory.
In addition to kicking three goals after
touchdowns, he punted well, his kicks
averaging a good 40 yards. His kick
offs were also well placed.
The work of Piston at half back for
the visitors was easily the outstand-
ing feature of the Tucson play up to the
time of his injury in the second quar-
ter. His kicking was the best ever
seen on a local field while his line
plunging left nothing to be desired.
He was tower on defense and with
his removal, the Tucson team lost
about 80 per cent of its power, both
extensively and defensively. Should

land Star for Locals

Somebody put a pair of skids under
the University of Arizona reserves be-
tween halves yesterday afternoon and
when Coach Geary's Coyote clan got
through showing and the reserves got
through skidding, the desert wolves
had munched the blue jerseyed grid
ironers to bits and then scattered the
bits to the four corners of the field
To be more specific. the Coyotes, dur
ing the second half, demonstrated why
these players are reserves, not mem
bers of the varsity, and they accom-
plished the feat by a score that read

The story of the game, insofar as
tho Coyotes are concerned, is devoted
exclusively TO the second half. Just
what Geary told his players between
halves will forever be a secrt, so far
as the general public is concerned.
but the effects OF that told will do

greatest football reformer known to
modern day coaching.
Reformed Coyote Team
II was an entirely different team of
Coyotes that trod the lime white lines
during the third and fourth period,
much to the undoing of several loyal
Tucson supporters and a few less loyai
Phoenix supporters. They saw the dark

wise, they didn't have thing to do
save carry the ball whenever the
Coyotes were fortunate enough to get
the same in their possession.
A long punt by Piston, which went
over Nortons head in the first quar-
ter, was indirectly responsible for the
only visiting score. Bryant Immediate
~ punted from his own 12-yard line
and one of the fast Tucson backs ran
through a broken field to the Coyote
35 yard line before being down. The
miserable taclzling of a half dozen
Coyotes materially aided in this gain.
A couple of forward passes mixed with
line bucks, in which Piston was the
chief gamer, finerally carried the ball
over the Coyote goal.
Gilland, after starting with sem
sational run of 40 yards on the kick
off, was off form for the remainder
of the quarter and the burden of car
rying the ball for the remainder of the
half fell upon the shoulders of Nc
Dewitt and Bryant.

who could gain consistently and he

Two Shining Lights
After brilliant squirt in the first
five minutes of play, in which they
carried the ball to the Tucson 20 yard
line for a first down, the Coyotes
looked as bad during the remainder
OF the first half as team could look
and still retain a combination. The
line played high and weak and the
linemen were easily brushed aside or
boxed by opposing linemen. And the
players had faculty for standing up
straight and attempting to grab the
opposing backs with one hand as they
sped by. OF course, this method wasn't

AN ENDOWMENT FOR PENN

ALUMNI of the University of Pennsyl-
"A vania are numerous and influential.
Their energetic and patient cooperation
as unit would be almost adequate to in
surc to the university the endowment
fund which, like Princeton, it finds i'm
peratively necessary at this time of new
beginnings.
The University of Pennsylvania has
had rapid physical growth in recent
years. Only lack of funds has served
to retard it in other ways. Harvard,
Yale and Princeton have profited more
greatly through the practical devotion of
old graduates and the appreciation of the
public at large. If the university is to
retain its place among the leading edu-
cational institutions of the world its
salary rolls will have to be revised and
there will have to be taking up of slack
at many places in the faculty.
Pennsylvania men might as well real
ize that their university is badly in need
of their help. They have an opportunity
to atone for past omissions. Even a
"drive" for funds might do. Though
drives seem to have lost favor with the
general public, a drive inspired by the
army of the university's alumni might
yet be conducted successfully among peo-
pie who are best able to appreciate the
work of Penn and the magnifcence of its
present opportunities.

of Mark Twain have been sold since its
original publication in 1912. And this is
so in spite of the fact that Mark Twain
is admittedly one of the greatest men of
letters America has produced.
The books which Mark Twain himself
wrote have been deservedly popular and
are still selling in large numbers, but
there seems to have been an Unsuitable
curiosity about the man himself. The
biography is not cheap book. 1t costs
between five and ten dollars. The
American public has paid out more than
two and a half million dollars to learn
the story of the life of its favorite
author. The figures mean that in about
one family out of every forty through
out the country there has been interest
enough in the man to lead to the purchase
of the book, and that at least 10000
copies are on the shelves of the private
libraries in this city.
If the genial philosopher, in whatever
state he may now find himself, is aware
of these facts they must be most gratify-
ing to him. They certainly are crafty
ing to those who are watching the de-
velopment of a reading public in America
interested in something besides Polly
annaniasing and Haroldbelwriting.
