Ex-Governor TempIetOn Greeted With Cheers as He Enters Red Triangle

ship committee was next introduced to instruct the workers as to the details of their job during the coming week. Among other things he called attention to the import ance of regular attendance at the supper meeting. He announced that the following prizes would be awarded: High individual, a pair of theater tickets; High Team each day, Box of candy to each man; High team for the week, tickets to the Yale-Dartmouth game.
 Generalissimo Charles A. Tenn pleton was then called upon for a short talk. After referring to the fact that his heart was being given a severe test by the presence in the room of a minister and an undertaken, former Governor Tenn pleton launched his usual piercing attack against the blue general. He called upon the Red Army to de- molish the Blue cohorts so ef- fectively that their general, Ter renee F. Carmody would have to be wrapped up and taken home at the end of the canvass. 1T want you to fight" he challenged the Red Army, "and I am going to depend upon you. l shall come in as often as l can but whether or not I am here, remember that The Big Friendly Y is something worth working for. Reports indi- cate that the Y is doing 8 won- derful work and making a good showing during these troublesome times" He then introduced Red General Charles J. Allen.
 General Allen opened up his at- tack by promising to recite "Gunga Din" at the next session inasmuch as his co-general had recited a poem at this meeting. Looking over the field thus far and judg- ing by the singing abilities dis played by the Red and Blue Armies it seems to me that the singing of the Red Army is wonderful and that of the Blue is terrible. As II watched the singers I happened to glance at the general of the Blue Army to see what encourage ment he was giving his men. To my utter astonishment he was busily engaged in conveying a fork full of beans to his mouth." After more joshing of his opponent, Gen. eral Allen declared that lat a time when everybody is town in the dumps we must pull them uI by putting life into this city o1 Waterbury by making this Y drive the very wonderful success it deserves to be-" Winding up ir burst of oratory, he predicted success for Enrolment Week and declared that a greater part oi the glory would be to the "sterl. ing, honest, wonderful efforts oi that glorious body of men, the Red Army"
 Next to be called upon was ths Blue General Terrence F. Car. mody who had been smiling grim, ly as his opponents flayed hin mercilessly. He said, T an thankful for this opportunity to dt something for this Big Friendl, Y. I look forward to these meetings with a great deal O. pleasure, not only because I know young men of the city, but becaus,
 of the friendly rivalry we have a these dinners. It was a delight tt see Charley Templeton come il this evening. I have watched hi recovery with interest and hope
