outlet. Perhaps, very probably, he
did not know Gale was there to block
it; and certainly he hoped to pass
Ladd and Blanco Sol.
A touch of the spur made Sol lunge
forward to head off the raider. Diablo
was in his stride, but the distance and
angle favored Sol. The raider had no
carbine. He held aloft a gun ready
to level it and fire. He sat the saddle
as if it were a stationary seat. Gale
saw Laid lean down and drop the
chances of wounding Belongs best

Then Gale sat transfixed with sus-
pended breath watching the horses
laundering toward him. Blanco Dia-
bio was speeding low, fleet as an an
telope, fierce and terrible in his dew
ilish action, a horse for war and blood
and death. He seemed unbeatable.
Yet to see the magnificently running
Blanco Sol was but to court a doubt.
Plain it was the raider could not make
the opening ahead of Ladd. He saw
it and swerved to the left, emptying
his six-shooter as he turned.
Blanco Sol Numbered across. Then
the race became straight away up the
valley. 1t was a fleet, beautiful, mag
nifcent race Gale thrilled and ex-
ulted and yelled as his horse settled
into a steadily swifter run and began
to gain.
The gap between Diablo and Sol
narrowed yard by yard. All the devil
that was in Blanco Diablo had its I'M
ming on the downward stretch. The
strange, cruel urge of bit and spur,
the crazed rider who stuck like a burr
upon him, the shots and smoke added
terror to his natural violent temper.
He ran himself off his feet. But he
could not elude that relentless horse
behind him.
Then, like one white flash following
another, the two horses cleaned down
the bank of a wash and disappeared
in clouds of dust.
Gale watched with strained and
smarting eyes. The thick throb in
his ears was pierced by faint sounds
of gunshots. Then he waited in al
most uncomfortable suspense.
Suddenly something whittier than the
background of dust appeared above
the low roll of valley floor. Gale lev
eled his glass. In the clear circle
shone Blanco Sol's noble head with it's

WILDWOOD LOSES TO MELVILLE
IN FIRST GAME OF SERIES

The first real game of the winter for
the w. A. C. basketball team came off
Wednesday night of last week before
the record crowd of the year. This
crowd included fans from Millville,
Cape May, and in fact all parts of this
section. These fans were not disap-
pointed in the game they witnessed,
either. 1t was the fastest eve played
on the local floor and one that con
tanned thrill after thrill. The visitors
came here ready for a victory and
Wildwood was just as anxious to get
this victory for themselves. Both
teams were in fighting shape and
though the odds were a tri1e with the
visitors, still when they both entered
the cage they seemed to be evenly
matched. This decision was evident
when the game started, for it was just
a matter of one team getting a goal
lead on the other. Wildwood took the
winning hand at the first of the game
and kept it up until about the last
quarter when Millville managed to get
a small lead, which they kept until
the last whistle. This gave them the
game with a margin of but one field
goal.
This has really proven the first
game in which the "Wac's" were
evenly matched and they played a
game of which our local people may
we'll be proud. Some little "booing"

Carter, who refereed a very good

both from the spectators and from the
players. Delaney and Esling both
managed to hit the backstop for a
Gagged couple of points in miraculous
shots that brought the fans to their
feet in cheers. Every man on the team
played an exceptionally good game

Society affairs are not on the daily

Army Gets Hard ScrimmaGe.
Saturday the entire Army squad
was taken TO New York to see West
Point and Naval Academy play a
other story, and the Doughboys aban-
doned the role of spectator and be-
carAe active participants in one of the
most hard-fought Scrimmages of the
season.
Tomorrow the coaches intend to
scrimmaEe the teams again, but, be-
ginning Wednesday, much care will
be given to Smoothness of attack and
the execution of formation plays,
while Line Coach Fritz Breidster will
work with his already well equipped
set of forwards.

least even terms. The squad is in
excellent physical condition, injuries
to Dodd and Moore having healed in
manner pleasing to the mentors.
The Sd Corps squad probably will
leave for Washington Friday and may
take practice at the battle site that
afternoon. At present the team is
composed of eight West Pointers, one
former Naval Academy player. one
from V. Z. i. and another who sported
the Orange and Black of Princeton.
Marines In Signal Drill.
A signal practice lasting more than
an kour and a half yesterday marked
the activities of the Marine foot ball
team. The workout was merely a
warmfng-up and was minus Scrim-
images.
Every one at the post seemed in
good spirits as the entire squad trot-
ted on the field for practice. Not a
single man was idle due to injuries,
minor bruises received in the last
battle in New York against the
Haskell Institute, when both eIevenS
battled to a I4-to-14 deadlock.
Bill Roper, head coach at Princeton
University, who helped train the
squad several days last week. was ex-
pected to arrive this morning to help
add the finishing touches to the squad.
Whether he will bring any of his
assistants is not known. Last week
he worked with the team a few days.
Today and tomorrow will be spent
srimmaging while, as the davs roll
by, the work will be made less siren
uous Practice will be continued until
Thursday. The squad will have an
off day on Friday, with the exception
of light signal drill.
The final time for leaving the camp
has not been decided upon, but it is
likely that the team will leave for
the battle ground Friday evening.
