Hence it is natural that those not
graced by Big Three membership
form the idea that they are on
the outside looking in. Actually
those on the outside carry the
great burden OF righteousness.
Playing stepping-stone TO cham
pionship for the Big Three is a
tiresome game. One can antici-
pate that the little fellows may
soon tire of playing second fiddle
to the big fellows It is possible
that the incOnsequentIal small
rivals may choose TO beat each
other in athletics. IL beating is to
be done, thus saving the big fell
lows the trouble.
For the present, il is worthy Of
note that the Big Three have met
and decided, but not yet con-
duered. The future of American
intercollegiate athletics has been
determined in a tempest in a tea
pot. and the Big Three feeling
confidently secure in their posi-
tion as arbiter, bide a wee ere
they enlighten the world outside
the mystic pale"

That the other fellows are not the
least worried is indicated by the i'm
mediate formation Of a big Four"
and the proposed organization for a
Connecticut Valley conference. .Har-
ward, Yale and Princeton, in their de-
sire to do away with all conflicting
rivals, have started a movement
which, If continued to its bitter end,
will eventually shatter the Intercol-
Iegiate Athletic Association, as now
formed, and leave the Big Three"
high and dry, ''alI dressed up and no
place to co.
Cornell, Pennsylvania, Dartmouth
y and Columbia are now planning an
association Of rivalry Of their own.
They expect to have no athletic re-
iatrons with the big Three" in those
sports having the most popularity, so
they are planning complete severance
OF relations. tn be all hog or not

Take Slap at Policy.
The Ithacans have already taken a
slap at the policy Of the Big Three"
as the following from the Cornell Sun
proves:
perhaps the college world
awaits anxiously and breathless-
ly the rending Of the veil of se-
crecy regarding the athletic
plans of Harvard. Princeton and
yale. Perhaps. Perhaps Ameri-
can colleges will not feel able to
go wagging along their way Un-
til the Big Three tribunal issues
fits decree. Perhaps.
The existence Of powerful
cliques controlling the future Of
intercollegiate athletics is at once
the greatest stumbling block 10
success and the greatest menace
TO the future Of the whole sys-

clusion that a given group con-
kIains within its restricted con-
fines all the meat and marrow

d'etre and the strength Of the

KEMMERER MAN MEMBER
OF THE LOST BATTALION

Sherman Wade, son OF Stephen
Wade of Kemmerer. arrived In the
city from overseas service Saturday.
His life since June 81 last, when he
entered the military service, has
been one crowded with events. as
probably no soldier In the service has
survived a more exciting career in so
short time. Truth ID stranger than
fiction, and in Wade's case there 10 no
exception.
Quick Action.
In less than three months after he
left Kemmerer to join the service, he
was sent over the top in battle. In
that three months he had spent time
in Camp Lewis. Wn., Camp Kearney,
Cal, Camp Mills. N. Y. went across
the ocean. spent Ave days in England,
and after a short period In training
behind the lines was put into action,
September 25, or two days less than
three months since ne entered the
service. making the date he took his
position to start at the zero hour on
the 26th to deal death to the Huns.

As he went to the front Wade
was transferred to the famous 18th
division which afterward became
known as the Lost Battalion" On
the night of October Wade and his
comrades In heavy fighting advanced
over a mile away from the remain
der of their unit, when they discover

Another exciting experience that
Wade went through was the battle OF
Grand Prex. on November 1. when
his unit engaged the enemy in hand

Here fighting was intense. Wade
continued in the thick of battle until
the armistice was signed. at which
time he was on the Belgian line and
