The Economy General.

Gen. Sir Henry Horne, "the man who
took Douai," has been called the econ
omy general through skillful manip.
ulation Of men and his small casual
ty list. His name will be handed down
to posterity as the man who invented
the Creeping barrage" system, which
came into universal use on the battle
field. With the assistance Of this bar
rage, he captured Fricourt, Mametz
and Douai, gaining maximum results at
minimum cost. His losses in men and
material on each occasion were very
light.
General Horne belongs to the Old
Contemptibles, and he saw service also
in the South African war. His proud

JUST WHAT BILLION MEANS
Probably Few People Have Right Con-
ception Of What an Enormous
Amount It Represents.

We hear Of billions these days. but
It is probable that very few persons
have any notion Of what an enormous
amount Of money billion represents.
We do know, however, how rapidly
an expert counter Of coins manipulates
them. You can scarcely follow the
motion of his fingers as he shifts the
coins from one pile to another and
counts them. The experts in the
treasury department will count 1900
silver dollars an hour and keep this
up all day long, but that is their
limit.
Working eight hours day, then, an
expert counter of coin will count 3d.
600 silver dollars in day. but how
long will it take him at that rate to
count million dollars? Thirty one
days!
But that is only the beginning Of
| the measurements of great figures,
for If the same man were to continue
to count silver dollars at the same
rate Of speed for ten years he would
find that he had counted only 1OO,-
100000 Of them, and that to count
1,OOO,OOO,OOO of them would require
1O2 years of steady work at the rate
Of eight hours day during every
working day of every one of the 1O2
years.

OREGON WORTHY TEAM
TO BATTLE HARVARD

PORTLAND, Ore. Dec. 14.-Football
critics of the West agree that the
Pasadena tournament officials chose
the strongest Western team when
they selected the University OF Ore
gon to battle Harvard at Pasadena
New Year Day.
The Oregonians were defeated once
during the season. by Washington
State, to 0, when the one big break
in the game went against them.
The superiority of the Oregon team
was indicated by the overwhelming
amount of yards it gained. and later
proved by the fact Washington State
was beaten by the University of
Washington and the Oregon Agricul-
tural College, both of which were
humbled by Oregon.

TWO STAR SPRINT MEN
PREPARE FOR OLYMPICS

NEW YORK. Dec. 14.-That the
New York A. c. intends to have
strong team for the Belgian Olympics
is shown by the addition of a pair Of
college sprinters who have already be-
gun to prepare for next seasons cam
paign. The aspirants for fame are
l.. A. Teschner. formerly OF Harvard
University, and w. s. Moore, former
ly Of Princeton.
Both belong to the front brigade in
the dashes. Teschner, who served in
the army. ran well in the inter-allied
games at Paris. but was forced to
bow to Paddock, the fleet-footed Cali
fornian, who won the lO0-meter event
in the fast time Of 10 4-5s., and only
fifth of a second slower than the
worlds record. Moore won the inter
collegiate 220-yard championship in
1916, in the fast time OF 21 Sos. The
preparatory work of these men will
be done. in the n. Y. A. c. gymnasium
under the direction OF Paul Pilgrim.

OVER-CO&DENCE ONLY
NIGHTMARE FOR MIDDES
Two Regulars Will Be Missed, but
Dobie Has Plenty of
Substitutes.

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 1.-THE four
teen midshipmen who will receive
the yellow star the insignia awarded
by the Navy Athletic Association to
those who participate in a winning
game against the Army team, are the
first to receive it since 1912, the year
of the last Navy victory. They are
Even (captain), Woodruff. Murray.
Denfeld. Larson. Moore, King, Koch =
ler, Clark, Cruise, and Benoist, who
started the game. and Graves, WI
kie and Lowe, who were substituted
later
Denfeld was the only player who
had ever faced the Army before. This
is his second time in the Army. and
he played against the West Pointers
when the Navy lost in 1916. No mem
Der OF the Army team had ever play
ed against the Navy.
The fact that the Military Academy
loses nearly all Of its regulars by
graduation while the Naval Academy
has all but two of it's regulars and
lots of other good material for next
year, makes the situation ripe one
for the wrecking of brilliant pros
poets through over-confidence.
Fortunately. for the Navy, how
ever, 1t has in Dobie the coach least
likely of any in the country to permit
his charges to have too good an opiD-
ion of themselves. No other series
has so many examples of the favorite
losing. and the explanation has IN
variable been that the losers were
too sure. Every effort will be made
to prevent such situation al he
Naval Academy next year.

DOWNES STARTS UP
IN SHOOTING BALL
GaIIaudet Center Registers Six
teen Baskets From Floor
In Opening Game.

Noah Downes. Gallaudet's star CEN
ter. has set a mark for all collegiate
basketers in the South Atlantic sec
tion in his f1rst game of the season.
Playing against the Loyo1a College
team, of Baltimore. at Kendall Green
last night. Downes dropped sixteen
two-pointers in the net during the
game. He did not play during the
last six minutes of the game. as
Coach Jack Haas substituted Connors.
The mark is one which will start
the intercollegiate shooters off in
fine shape for the season il they are
going to approach Downes in shoot
ing. Last season he got eleven in
one game, which was the high water
mark.
Loyola presented a green combina-
tion which was composed of fresh l.
men and sophomores who lack con-
dition and smoothness of play. but
who picked up as the game pro-
gressed.
Galaudet, with veteran combina-
ton, was somewhat weak on defense
and failed to impl ess in floor work or
in shooting. Both teams missed many
chances to score on easy shots.
Downes, however was the shining
light. He rarely missed when the
opportunity presented itself. Under
the basket he was invincible and flip
ped many shots for baskets from al
most impossible positions.
Gallaudet made many substitutions
during the last of the game as the
Kendall Greeners were away out
front Loyola displayed flashes OF
form which argued for improved play
later in the season.
