Schafer, former halfback) i on the University of Chicago football l team, claims to have been the first i American officer to go "over the top'' into No Man's Land under the bar rage of French gunners, according to! a letter exhibited to-day by Schafer's fraternity brothers at the Midway] School. Schafer in his letter told of the j manner in which the small body of; American troops crept out in the I night under a peppering of bullets, to I cut away the barbed wire entangle-1 ments in order that a heavy assault I might be made the following day. I Night Was Dnrk "It was a dark night when we j were told in the trenches that it was time for our start," said Schafer. I _ - Four Brothers Fighting For the United States 1 The Ketchum family of Versailles, two of whose members are well known University of Pittsburgh graduates and former active boost- ( ers of athletics at the Panther instl- 1 tution, is placing a rare war record to Its credit. Few families have I given Uncle Sam as many as four volunteer service men, but that is the contribution of the Ketchums to the nation's cause. Every son in the family has enlisted. First Kenneth, who was a mem ber of the Tenth Regiment of the ' National Guard of Pennsylvania, joined the colors with his regiment; next Francis enlisted in the. Navy; ] then George went in for the Avia tion Corps, underwent seven weeks : of training in Columbus, 0., and de- 1 parted for Europe, and on Tuesday 1 Carlton, the' oldest of the four • brothers, was accepted for admis- '■ sion to the flying service. Carlton ' and George are Pitt graduates and 1 have been prominent in alumqi af fairs, and both were hustlers who ! did much to boost athletics at the 1 big Blue and Gold school during 1 their student days. Carlton, who is 1 married, would have enlisted early 1 in the summer, but for the illness of i his wife, who is now recovered. < sister are wholly dependent upon him for support, whereas, it is al leged, for the past five years he has not lived with his wife, who is employed as a telephone operator. It is also alleged that his other ex i emption claims are not supported bv the facts. "just as we were making final pre parations a French officer came run ning from an outpost, yelling: 'Guess! guess!' " 'Guess what?' we asked him. " 'Guess! guess!' was his only re- Ply. " 'l'll bite. I'll guess your right hand,' said one of my men, who looked at his clenched fist. " 'Non! non! guess masks,' shout ed the Frenchman as he seized his safety helmet. "We had just time to put on our gas masks before the danger came and if he had kidded him much long er there might have been sad re sults. We went out into No Man's Land and I knew that I was the first American officer to go 'over the top' for Uncle Sam. SUBMARINES IN GREAT VICTORY Sink Destroyers in Enola League Basketball Game Enola, Dec. 27. —Despite the fact that naval authorities claim the de stroyers are the best weapon for hunting the U-Roats in the war zones of Europe, this claim was re futed last night when the Subma rines of the local P. R. R. Y. M. C. A. Bowling league unmercifully slaughtered their supposed to be swifter rivals, the Destroyers bv a margin of 300 pins. This naval warfare on the Enola alleys has been poinß on rfor more than a week, with furious fighting on the part of all persons interested. Last week the Subs were sent to the bottom by the Cruisers, but last nißht they came back strong and chased the Destroyers back to their base under heavy fire. Chief Gunner's Mate High Chief Gunner's Mate, Doebler, of the U-Boats was high man both for Kinglo game and also the match. His one game score was 233 and his total was 595. Admiral Greene in command of the underseas fleet was next high in total number of pins getting 521. In the dispatches re ceived at the destroyers base, the name of Walters was included. Had it not been for this gallant ship's defense the defeat would pribably had been more disastrous. The score and summary follows: .

Stallings Gets Offers For Backstop Gowdy Philadelphia, Dec. 2 7.—One can not accuse some big league club owners of not having the nerve. Right now a number of magnates are seeking the services of Hank Gowdy, star backstop of the Braves, and are reported to have made George Stallings very attractive of fers for the sorreltop maskman. At present Gowdy is in France, a sergeant in the Ohio National Guard, There was nothing condi tional about the Gowdy offer. It was a clean proposition, without any clause which would abrogate tho transaction in the event Hank was unable to Join the new owners. It was a gamble, but the other fellows were willing to take the chance. When Gowdy returns he is certain to be a greater hero than before, and as a result of his increased pop ularity he will prove to be a greater drawing card. WOMEN SHOULD LEARN TO BOX; CHAMPION SAYS Milwaukee, Dec. 27.—"There ie no reason why women as well as men shouldn't interest themselves in phy sical culture. They owe it to them selves and they owe it to their fami lies. Now with the nation at war and with Uncle Sam mobilizing every resource, domestic as well as mili tary, she owes it to her country." Helen Hildreth. champion woman bantamweight boxer, was talking. "I all women to take up boxing as exercise," she continu ed. "Boxing is perhaps too strenu ous for most women, it takes years of preparation at milder exercise be fore one should box, but every wo man ought to take the less violent exercises which include long walks, gym work and the Army setting up exercises. "Fresh air is important, that is wKylons walks take a woman's mind off her household or business cares [CHANGES MADE IN BASKETBALL i Compulsory For College and Amateur Teams to Have Arc Boundary Line i New York, Dec. 27.—Interpreta- j ' tions of the new playing code recent ly arranged by the joint basketball ! x-ules committee, of the National Col ( legiate Athletic Association, Young ! Men's Christian Association and the Amateur Athletic Union were ex plained at a meeting of delegates of ( the three organizations named at the i Astor Hotel last night. Dr. Joseph E. ] Raycroft, chairman of the commit- < tee, presided. ; It was announced that the one im- i portant modification of the rules re lates to the course itself. It has!, been the experience of the commit- j tee that a player frequently has been j deprived of . a well earned field goal j because in throwing the ball his foot touched the boundary line. Often there is a serious question of i doubt in the referee's mind as to i whether a player is in or out of i bounds on a close play under the i basket. Accordingly the rules com- ] mittee has added an extension to the end boundary line in the form of an arc of a circle with an extension ; of two feet at its greatest width di- , rectly back of the basket. Thus the i entire backboard is within bounds and on the floor the player has an additional leeway of two feet under the basket. This change it was stat ed is an experiment. WherA the end boundary line is a wall this extension does not apply and the end will be the straight line as heretofore. Must Watcli Changes All officials, players, coaches and enthusiasts are asked to watch the working out of these changes and report to the joint committee how they affect the game. College basketball experienced its! best season last year, and the future i holds out a bright outlook for the! game despite the war. 'Every sec tion of the country reports an in crease in interest. All are complet ing arrangements to stage complete schedules of championship matches. It would be a slight to the game not to mention the great number of court stars who are enlisted in Uncle Sam's service. No sport has contrib uted more generous manner than the court game. Few of the leading aggregations have not ' ost some of their stars. A majority of the fore most teams will have to be recruited entirely from substitute material. This, however, will not cause any . appreciable falling off in the quality of the game that will be witnessed during the present season. Lasting Sport The fact that basketball is being played by the younger generation guarantees its future for many years I to come. No sport has won greater | popularity among junior contestants j than basketball. It is being played j by a greater number of juveniles to day than any other game, with the; possible exception of baseball. The rules of the game during the past few years have been changed to i such an extent that weight and strength have been eliminated. In this way the lad of tender years who has not reached his full growth can play the gajpe without the danger of bodily injury. Bodily contact in every form has been barred by the playing rules. At least, the individual who resorts to rough work is penalized to such an extent that he is dropped from the game. The sport, to-day is faster _ and much more interesting than in former years. Hassett Defeats Indians in One-Sided Contest; Girls Land Victory Lack of team work because of new i players, in the Carlisle Indian line up, gave the Hassett five an easy! victory last night, score 44 to 10.!

This game is of importance as it brings together two aggregations of locals stars who have been cutting some figure in the cage game for several seasons. Local patrons are showing strong interest In this con test and indications point-to a record attendance. According to a late report the Red Cross officials at Washington do not want Jess Willard to stage a benefit While Matt Hinkle or Willard have not been notified, it said the rejec tion will follow the announcement that terms have been reached for a benefit. i (£?GrantfaruUXce CosjTt/jht. I>l7. The Tribune Association Tork Tribunal The indications are that the intercollegiate outdoor track and field cham pionship which were abandoned in 1917 will be resumed in 1918. In view of President Wilson's stand for the continuation of sport, and the fact that most of the young men in our colleges are combining military training- with their study courses, it would seem there is no reaspn why these championships, that contribute much to the amateur sport calendar, should not be held as usual. In its many-sidedness nothing compares with the track and field. Almost any man athletically inclined can find some branch among the many offered under this head in which he can aid his physical development. For that reason the track and field is broadly more valuable thfyi either collegiate baseball or football, which requires a specialized talent. It is planned now to hold these games in May. Fred Fulton with his airy left hand is the heir apparent,to the heavy weight throne, though Willard persists in the notion he can come back Willard is said to be about 100 pounds heavier than he was when he fought Moran, and he weighed 200 then. Most fans will doubt that he can ever train down again. Fulton has found the path rather thorny en route to his goal, but there is to say for him, that he seems to grow hotter a he nears the crown. If he would not compare with the old school, he at least outshines the new. One reason advanced for the decrease in gridiron fatalities during the 1917 season is the improvement in the football warrior's uniform. The style makers in gridiron sartorials have so bettered their art that the modern-day player takes the field with every vulnerable spot .scientifically protected. Head guards are stronger and better padded. Neck, shoulder and chest pads are made in one piece and are slipped on beneath the jersey or sewed to it. The ribs, stomach and hips are protected by heavy pads. Kneee, ankles and wrists are taped. Light but protective shin guards are often worn be neath gridiron hosiery. Shoes are heavy and well cleated. The better equipment furnishes the answer, for it is an undisputed fact that backfleld men, who receive less ai dfrom their interference than they did in the hauling, mauling days, are required to withstand greater shocks than ever before. Different motions are used In throwing the forward pass, and, as a matter of fact, few if any of them are identical with the movement used in tossing a baseball. Bert Bell, the Pennsy quarter, comes as near the baseball throw with a football as any man we have seen in the feast this season. Graduate managers are In session in New York today talking over col lego sport* tor next season. This conference will be a forerunner to the National Collegiate conference \ tomorrow. Both sessions are of the utmost importance and the results will be awaited by sport fans all over the United States. If Fred Fulton continues to get himself in bad by his unsportsman like tactics, there will be no heavy weight for Willard to tackle. Fulton rebugged on the Willard proposi tion and now it comes out that in his recent bout he fouled his op ponent. Sherwood Magee the one time Nat ional League batting star is having some difficulty to land a permanent position. Even the leading minor leagues fail to show any Interest in Magee. This star at one time could have had any salary he asked for. 11
