rine lives on and near the water so
much that he's web footed, and
where there's salt water there are
fish. And in tropical waters there
are fish such as fish stories are

Home Life of the Marines
No Marine ever seems to stay in
one place long enough to get rusty.
When he is not just off for for
eign ports or just coming home
from service abroad. he is on one
of the big battleships which are
always on the move from one port
to another. Today he may be in
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the
next bound for France or Con-
stantinople, or goodness knows
where.
And when he's on duty in the
Estates he may be at any one of a
number OF interesting places
Quantico. the station just out of
Washington; the League Island
Navy Yard. at Philadelphia: the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. at New York;
or he may be at San Diego, in
sunny California, or Mare Island.
in San Francisco Bay.
Work Time for the Marine
The Marines life is not all play.
There's work to be done. But it's
a mans work and interesting.
There are short, snappy drills
that teach a man to be on his toes.
There are setting-up exercises
that give a man a chest like bar
rel. There are hikes. short ones at
first and gradually increasing.
that teach a man to walk on his
own two feet, and like it. And
there's rife practice. But that
isn't work-that's sport. There is
wireless biography and signal
work to be learned. There is
training in scouting and wood
craft. Maybe you didn't know
that every Marine is a regular
Robinson Crusoe when it comes to
making himself comfortable in a
WIG country.
There is artillery practice and
something of sailing, rowing and
seamanship. For a Marine is a
sailor as we'll as a soldier. But
it's good work-al1 OF it.
In addition to giving man
physical fitness and mental alert
ness. the Marine Corps gives
plenty of opportunity for learning
a trade that will mean big money
for him after his discharge. Thou
sands of ex-Marines have imme-
diately been taken into well-pay-
ing jobs in civil life as aviators,
airplane mechanics. gas engine me-
cnanics, chauffeurs. wireless oper-
ators printers. BARRIERS. ball players.
chefs, bakers, electricians, fore
men, etc, etc.
An honorable discharge after
two, three or four years service
in the Marines is the best letter of
recommendation any man can
have.
GOOD men. hut they don't have to

PITTSBURGH. Pa. October 25.-
Charles S. Miller. director of athletics
of the University of Pittsburgh. has
announced that no future foot ball
games with Georgia Tech would be
scheduled. He explained that this de-
cision does not constitute a severance
of athletic relations. He said the de-
cision was actuated. by what he con-
strued as violation of the contract
provisions by the Georgia team at the
game Saturday in insisting upon per-
hitting three men who had PLAYED
more than four years to take part in
the game, and also because the usual
eligibility rules adhered to by all
first-class colleges are not observed by
Georgia Tech.
These rules provide that every
player must be a candidate for a de-
gree and be resident of the college
for one year prior to joining the team.

Saturdays game objection was made.
