when you first put on civilian clothes.
1t may be when you get back TO the
store or the shop or the firm that you
will think OF the days OF your service
over here and suddenly discover that
they were not so uninteresting and
| irksome after ALL Then will be the
time TO think OF this:
Over here you have been giving
yourself 10 the service OF your coun-
try and humanity without much
thought Of self. AS you take up that
old job. are you going back to IL with
an opposite purpose. striving to give
as little OF yourself as possible to
others and TO get and keep just as
much as you can just for yourself? As
size you up. leaning over the. coun-
ter OF my "Y" canteen, believe you
have learned from your work over
here that all work is and must be a
service for humanity, and / think
when you get home that you will tack
le that old Job with a brand new
spirit. Am right?
Another thing, over here away
from the influence OF that best-loved
gill and OF other refining Influences
you have grown somewhat careless OF
speech and possibly in action. No
use to deny it--you know II is true.
am not saying that IL has been all
your fault. When everything about
you in war time has been hellish, II
is not strange, perhaps, that little
OF the odour OF birthstone may have
clung TO you. When the hell OF war
gives place TO the heaven OF your
own home, probably you may have TO
fight some to get rid OF all the brim-
stcne odour. You will do il, know,
hut 1t will be struggle. And since
a clean peace has now dawned, II
might be wise for you to begin to
practise clean speech and clean act
ing right away What do you think
aecLt that?
Tlen, there is the matter OF your
reiat'on to God when you get home.
You have been near to God over here.
When you went "over the top" you
thought of Him as you had never
thought before in your life. You
PRAYED to Him that day when you
went out into No Mans Land. Don't
blush; it's nothing to be ashamed OF.
Your dependence upon God is as nat
ural part of yourself as your appe-
tite for food, but you will play square
with God when you get home, won't
you?
You asked Him here TO help you in
your need. He needs you over there
to help Him. lie needs you to keep
on fighting for Him and with Him
that all battles against sin and selfish
ness may be won and that the world
which you have helped to make safe
may be kept safe Somehow seem
TO know that when oyu get home you
will fight against sin as courageously

Complete Schedule
Of Harvard Eleven

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 16.-The
Harvard varsity football schedule,
several games of which were tentative
ly announced a short time ago, has
finally been completed. For October
25, the date held so long for West
Point, the H. A. A. has secured Uni
versity Of Virginia, and Tufts has
been picked as the 'varsity's opponent
for November Is, the date between
Harvard's matches with Princeton and
Yale.
In 1916 Tufts beat Harvard 7 to 8,
and in 1917 was placed early on the
list, Harvard did not expect to play
Tufts this fall, and the November
game very likely will be played by
Harvard's substitutes, while the reg
ular men are at New Haven watching
Yale and Princeton. While it has not
been announced, the football commit
tee here is confident that Percy
Haughton will return to the Job as
head coach next fall
In the following schedule of nine
games the only out-of-town match is
that on November s, against the
Tigers at Princeton. September 27,
Bates; October 4, Boston College; Oc-
tober II, Colby; October IS, Brown;
October 25, Virginia.; November l.,
Springfield; November 8, Princeton at
Princeton; November IS, Tufts; No

There is a definite atmosphere of
hopefulness and confidence as to the
future among the lawn tennis players
and followers, both in this country and
in every land where the game is played
There is a feeling that this year of
1919 is going to be one of the greatest
in the history Of the game; lawn tennis
is to have it's Renaissance, so to speak
following the four years and more of
ravaging worldwar, and we are glad
that this is so, for the players of the
game have gained our undying ad
miration and gatefulness by their rec
ord overseas.
The United States will not be one of
the challenging nations next Novem-
Der, when the Davis Cup matches are
renewed on the Australian courts, and
it is, perhaps, as well, but the British
Isles will have team in the field, as
will France, Belgium and possibly
Italy. These nations, which suffered
most on the battlehelds, will be meet
ing on far more equal footing than
would be the case were America, with
her tennis ranks unbroken by the loss
a team overseas.
which to develop new players, our
Allies will probably be able to face this
country's best with more hope of sue
cess. Then we shall see the struggles
for the famous trophy, now held by
Australasia, restored to their former
standing as the blue ribbon event of
the tennis world. Speed the day
There is certain to be keen interest
on this side of the water as to the sue
cess of Norris Williams, Watson Wash
burn, Dean Mathey, Douglas Waters,
Charley Bull and others of our ranking
players now with the A. E. F. in
France, in the series of tournaments
these players are to take part in this
spring and summer, in competition
with British, Australian, Canadian,
French, Belgian and Italian court
stars.
These meetings will serve to give US

The Brooklynites were very conf
dent and, backed by large following
with the band from the Todd Ship
yards, demonstrated they meant bust
ness by taking the honors of the first
half, at the end of which they led by
10. The champions, on the other
hand, had the most chances to score,
but Wilson's work in goal and the de-
fensive work of the backs presented
their getting through.
In the second half Bethlehem scored
at the rate Of 81, making up for lost
time and clinching the victory which
meant that they will be the finalists
to meet the winners of the game be-
tween Paterson and Merchants Ship,
