to six yesterday afternoon, winning {.
the championship of the American
expeditonary forces
The game was played on the velo-
drome field OF the Pare des Frances
and despite the muddy ground, was
marked by sensational plays which
gave the rooters or both sides full OPP
portunity to display their accomplish
ments as noise makers.
The whole atmosphere was reminis-
cent of q. game at Yale, Harvard or
Princeton, or the annual army and
navy game, with the exception of the
colors In the stands. The spectators
presented solid mass OF Olive drab.
relieved here and there by the blue of
the uniforms OF the women army
workers
Most Of the men in she field were
former college stars and their play
compared favorably with anything
ever seen at home Both teams made
a brilliant showing. but In the second
half the eighty-ninth eleven proved IL.
superiority and overcome the handf-
cap OF ak points gained In the nrst
quarter by the thirty-sixth.
Lieutenant George Patsy Clark.
former University of Illinois star. was
the mainstay of the eighty-ntnth. He
scored two touchdowns and kicked
both goals.
General Pershing was highly de-
lighted with the game and applauded

shook hands with the mud hespat-
tered players and thanked them for
the splendid exhibition they had
given of the American game.
IT arm glad of the opportunity to
thank you for the splendid game you
have played today and for the won
derful spirit you have shown" ne
said. You have carried out the let
ter and spirit OF the plan adopted to
promote clean sports In the American
Expeditfonary Forces You have gone
at this athletic program and this game
today with the same dash and spirit
you showed at the front and that Is
the spirit that makes American and
Americans great
In the series Of games for the
championship the eighty ninth team
has shown itself a slow starter but q
whirlwind fnisher. It is a heavy out
fit, averaging about ITO pounds 10 a

The request that more magazines be
sent to the Americans on duty in
france and in other countries In Eu-
rope. The general says the boys need
interesting reading matter as never
before.
The supply of magazines has been
reduced from ten to two tons
month due to Misrepresentation of the
public that magazines could not be
sent under the one-cent postage rul-
ing. Some magazines inadvertently
dropped the line announcing that
publications would be carried over
seas under one-cent stamp. The
ruling is still in force and magazines
are being asked to print 1t again in
the upper right hand corner OF their
first page.
Red Cross divisions and chapters
are urged to stimulate renewed in
terest in the sending of magazines
abroad by acquainting the public
with the fact that the one-cent priyi-
lege still exists: also to fwell upon
the statement OF General Pershing
