terest in the game waned as the
two army lads craned necks to peer
more closely at the beautious face
of the movie starlet. From time
to time a half interested fleetins
, glance was given to the playing
| field but almost Immediately re
verting to the more interesting
spectacle behind. Pvt lei Burt
|, would nudge Sgt Mischke on any
chance sensational play he might
have seen in his stray glances but
without fail the head of our mental
giant was turned about the op-
posite way from the football field
If any complaints of sore and stiff
necks have been made it may well
be to remember that beautiful
face and figure can stop many a
husky man from his in-attentions,
either athletic, or otherwise.
1t would have been indeed for
tunate for our lads to have had
with them the Hollywood gadabout
and expert Staff Sgt William Kauf-
man, of Message Center Fame,
Hegtl Hq Btry, 217th, to analyze
the situation and recommend STRAIT

No More BulP'
Regtl Hq Btry, 217th CA (AA),
was the scene of tragedy this week
as Pvt Elmer (BulD Schmidt has
left for Minnesota and will not be
back. Elmer received his dis
charge and seemed happy at the
moment but sad look was de-
tected in Elmer's eye as the NOM
ent came for his departure. Elmer
was a Battery Spark Plug" as he
could take a joke and dish it out
with the best Of them. He was
also known around the battery as
boxer. He weighed about 21O
and could handle his dukes.
A farewell party was held in the
battery street and when the time
came, another farewell party was
originated 1--WE mean just thaD to
take Bull" to the train. We're
sure that 1t. Col. Scott will miss
his ability as an interpreter of Ger
man in the future. Bull" can be
found at any dance at New Mum
ich, Minnesota, in the future, "cut-
ting a rug" with some good look
ing young lassie.
Auf Wiederschen, and this time
, we mean it.
