Camp Msade Champions Lose Out in Final Game; Camp Dix Elleven Wins Philadelphia, Dec. 3.—The team representing the 311tli Regiment of Infantry of the First National Army, hailing from Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J., defeated the team from Camp Meade, Admiral, Md., and represent ing the " 1 ! th Regiment of the First : Army in the first interdivi sion.'.i championship battle ever in the United States Saturday afternoon on Franklin Field by the score of 13 to 6. Every man on the Meade eleven was a nativeborn Pennsylvanlan, while the representatives of Camp Dix were drawn from a half dozen states. The individual ability of Lieuten ant Anderson, captain and coach of the Dix team, gave his team the vic tory. Anderson scored both touch downs, the first following a short end run, the second after an 80-yard dash. His returning of kicks and all around play helped make him the star of the game. Anderson is a former Colgate star and Ail-American quarterback last year. Neither team could gain con sistently and were about on a par defensively, save when Anderson cut loose. Meade had the finest kind of a chance to tie the score in the last minutes of the game, but could not make good in the pinch. The lineup: CAMP DIX CAMP MEADE Ellenberger, 1. e. Byrne, 1. e.

But when the final dream is done. And when the last clear song is stilled, Or when the far road finds the sun Has set where once the morning thrilled, When gray dusk gathers on the trail And we may take the road no more, Then all we'll care for is to sail JTor what waits on the Other Shore. Concerning Pinch Hitters A citizen from a nearby precinct desires to know the status of the pinch hitting crop for the last year. "Gone, all gone, are the old familiar faces." A dependable statistician furnishes us the complete group, including all who produced a pinch hit last season, and the crop is strange. In the American League the leading pinch hitter was Kumler, with fifteen blows to his credit In the National League it was Clarke, with nine pinch hits. Murphy, of the White Sox, was second in the American League, with thirteen, while the athlete who occupies third place is none other than Sam Crawford, who contributed seven. It might, or it might not, be of interest to know that only eighteen men in the American league produced as many as three pinch hits. By pinch hitter 'here Is meant the earnest athlete sent in for the express purpose. Baseball Abroad We draw this from an English publication: "Our men," remarked an American officer, "are spoiling for a match." The day we got here in England, instead of going tq their billet they went straight to the shore and began to play ball. "A football field was found but because no football had been played there for two years the grass was high. The players cut it with scythes and marked out a pitch. "During the game there was a noise, certainly. It echoed down the little streets outside the ground %tid away to sea, for the sand was packed with young Americans detained for a few days in a northern watering place before going on the Great Adventure And because .tre is a war, and bcause men's thoughts are seldom away from one subject, a soldier fresh from out there turned to another. 'Look here, old man, these base ball chaps will be jolly useful in France. Fancy that pitcher lobbin bombs at Fritz!'" , The grand tip off on wrestling is that so many of them have been j Turks or Bulgarians. Concerning Suffrage (Written a matter of two years ago) , If their minds are made up fully, If they're pointed for a spin, s What's the good of pushing things into a curdle? Did they ever lose an argument They started'out to win With only masculinity to hurdle? If they want it, let 'em have lt- Turn it over as gift; Send it up as if apologies were due; Why not be polite about it Without straining for a life.

FOOTBALL GAME INDEFINITE SPORT For Next Season Not Very Encouraging if War Continues "Washington, Dec. 3. —Following the last game of a. college football season, the next step Is the election of a captain for the ensuing year. This formality concluded, the next step is the taking account of stock and the laying of plans for the con- j duct of the game next fall. College football Is over for the year and many of the teams that have played regular schedules have chosen their new leaders and arc arranging play ing dates and other details for 1918. Unless conditions change greatly most of the institutions that have maintained varsity elevens this fall are making arrangements to go on along tlve same linv. another year. This is especially true at Colleges which have passed through success ful seasons. Prospects Uncertain What the conditions will be next' September—the time when football \ squads are usually called out for j opening practice—no one can say. I We may confidently predict, how- | I ever, that a vast American Army j will be on the western front by that ; time, with our soldiers in the midst ; , of the lighting as deeply as are the 1 ' armies of England and France. America, by that time, undoubted ! ly will have reached a more com j plete realization of what the war J really means.- With swelled casualty I lists and wounded coming home, it may be that the general feeling will i be strongly against intercollegiate ! athletics. There is no indication that Har vard will play football on a more ] extensive scale than this fall. In formal crew and baseball is promised for next spring. Beyond that period, however, the authorities at Cam bridge apparently are unwilling to go. Yale undergraduates have not had time for football this year and probably will have no more leisure another season. Princeton has hope of a varsity, with a regular sched- I ule, but this, also, is very much a matter of guesswork. Game Below Standard College football, as was to have J been expected, was distinctly below I the customary standard. Material j was lacking and the coaching staffs : were much depleted at many insti- I tutions. Much the same condition should prevail next season. One or two teams, fortunate in the material available, were outstanding suc cesses. One of the notable phases of the season just closed was the develop ment of football in the Army and Navy camps. The game, through the influence of many former col lege stars, has taken a great hold and has not only provided diversion for the soldiers and sailors, but has been an important asset in the phys ical development of the rank and file. Most of these men will be across the water by the time another foot ball season rolls around, but their places will bo taken by others to be called to the colors later. It may be reiterated that football is great training for war. EXOLA PASTOR ILL Enola, Pa., Dec. 3.—Owing to tlTe illness of the Rev. J.

Mahan's Marines Meet Boston Navy Yard Today Boston, Mass., Dec. 3. —Coach Leo Leary's Boston Navy eleven, composed of many brilliant college football players, and Eddie Mahan's League Island marines, will make an efTort to play off their game, post poned from Saturday at the Harvard stadium, this afternoon. - A heavy downpour of rain prevent ed the teams from clashing yester ' day, and while it may have hurt the attendance, nevertheless it benefited the teams, the marines anyhow. The sea soldiers from League Is land, had a long tiresome ride over night on Thursday, arriving in Bos ton late Friday and were stiff and cramped. A short workout was held Friday afternoon and the men could have played Saturday, but the day of respite will make them even better. The men spent most of to-day looking Boston over. Eddie Mahan. whose home is at Natlck, Mass., nat urally spent the few days with his parents. Johnny Scott, the former Lafayette College, player, who before entering college, played at Exeter, spent the day hobnobbinK around with Tommy Enright and Casey, stars of the Boston Navy Yard team, who were pals with Scott at Exeter. Lou Little, who starred at tackle for Penn last year, being rated as one of the best in the country, is here with the marines and will play left tackle. Little's home is in Massachu setts and ho spent Saturday and Sun day with his relatives. DECEMBER 3, 1917 F W COiRfNER ' ~~~" Tech's big jubilee was held to-day.
