has had a harder row to hoe and
rake, but not the hard way of those
three leading the Big Nine, as all
concerned turn into the backstretch
heading for the wire.
The test of any ranking, beyond
Individual opinion, must be the type
of competition the survivor has
faced, although Cornell whipped
Ohio State much more decisively
than Northwestern or Minnesota
did. Only a few soft spots are
needed in any schedule to make a
healthy difference in the ratings OF
. the so-called powerhouse and those
teams moving into difficult action
, week after week.
4 In the downfall of so many old
timers it is a cheerful note to see
Navy return with one of the best
teams that ever left the Severn.
Whether Navy can stand off Supe-
rior Pennsylvania man power this
week. or stop Notre Danes gaQop
the week after, is another matter.
But so far Swede Larson has put
a first-claSs Navy team on guard, a
team good enough to give anyone a

Schedules Of Big Nine
Offer Thorny Poth

The Big Nine, with few eXcep-
tionS, takes the rougher road today.
Minnesota, Michigan. NorthWes-
tern, Indiana, Ohio State, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Purdue and Illinois all
play from six to eight rugged, high
class opponents in schedules that
know almost no intermission. Their
1910 tests are far harder than those
faced by Notre Dame, Cornell. Ten
nessee, Boston College, Georgetown
and many others among the un-
beaten.
What about the Pacific Coast?
U. c. L. A. has tackled a suicide
job-terrific. But so far leading
Pacific coast teams have lost all
their hard games to Minnesota.
Texas A. and M, Michigan and
S. M. U.
No one can say which is the coun-
rs best football team. But I
should say that the surviving team
from Minnesota, Michigan and
Northwestern. stiA united and un-
beaten, will at least have turned in
=, the seasons finest job.
Mt is an unusual break that all
three must meet one another

Minnesota Minnesota meets Michi-

This has been a magnificent foot
ball season. so far, in the victorious
marches of Minnesota, Michigan,
Cornell. Notre Dame, Northwestern,
Texas A. and M, Tennessee and
a few others.
But there is a touch of sadness
fl the old guard who know their
football tradition and have followed
the beaten path for 80 or 40 years.
Where is a note of detection as they
turn to the football fate of Yale,
Illinois, Army, Harvard, Dartmouth

have written so much of footballs

cal condition and thorough disciple
nary training" the Official added.
The results of the European con-
flict to date indicate that training
must be comprehensive and inten-
sive. Operations must be SIMPLE and
sustained. Training must be di-
rected toward making The individual
capable of sustained effort under
adverse circumstances and toward
making all units work together as
thoroughly efficient combat team"
Although this would seem to indi-
cate exhaustive labor for the con-
script, he will find that a large
part of the conditioning and train
ing in teamwork will be while par
ticipating in sports. And the work
days will be few in which sports are
not on the training schedule.
1t is expected that during the first
two monhs, conscripts will receive
physical hardening exercises. indi-
vidual instruction, basic and special
ist training.
After he has qualified to use his
weapons, march and care for him
self and his means of tranSporta-
ton in the field, he will be trained
in larger groups, such as squads,
platoons and companies.
Subsequently the training of bat
, talionS will be emphasized, and in
the final stages of a conscriptS
training he will probably participate
! in field maneuverS and combat team
/ exercises.
You'll probably be out of your
Army cot at 5:45 am. every day
except Sunday when you may be
permitted to sleep late-until GAS
am. You'll probably be asleep long
before 10 pm. because you want to
rather than because you have to.
If you fail to salute an officer,
you won't be sent to the guardhouse,
unless you are in open rebellion.
The first few times you fail to
salute the officer may stop and ex-
plain that you are not saluting him
personally, but the authority he
represents.
The only cause for being sent to
the guardhouse would be for mis-
deeds for which you probably would
be arrested as a civilian. The entire
method of intoxicating discipline is
by teaching, not through threats,
and no officer cares to admit
training failure by bringing court
martial charges against one of his
men. Minor but deliberate infrac-
tons probably will be punished by
sending you to kitchen police.
Living quarters, for the first few
months of conscript training this
year, may be in tent cities, but can
tonments are being completed rap
idly for all Northern training camps
and will undoubtedly be in use be-

Books Of fiction and the movies

treatment accorded enlisted men in
the military services is brutal. 1 am

but l don't like to have men swear

Because of the flood of World War
novels and cinemas, this inaccurate
impression appears to be wide
spread among men who have had
no previous connection with mill
tary life. You probably will be
pleasantly surprised if you think
the Army lacks consideration in its
treatment of enlisted personnel.
Officers of the Army in peace
time are largely teachers. They
have been teaching for many years
to build up the skill and morale OF
their men and not break it down.
Officers are forbidden to swear at
men. Nom commissioned officers
who have the largest direct contact
with enlisted men, would lose their
stripes in hurry if they used pro-
family in obtaining execution of
orders. Both officers and non-com-
missioned officers are forbidden by
military law to strike an enlisted
man.
If conscript willingly obeys COM
mands, does not become nuisance
through constant grumbling or ma
lingering, and obeys the few simple
service laws, which are only slightly
more severe than those applying to
civilians, he is certain to benefit by
the year of healthful living.
ManifeStly, the Army could not
coddle youths. The life will be more
rigorous during that year of service
than even the regular Army had
before the current war began.
