SOL METZGER CLAIMS FOOTBALL BEST FOR SOLDIERS; BOXING NOT ELIMINATED IN WAR Vaccinate and Inoculate Lafayette Players For Penn Game Saturday Knstou, Pa., Nov. s.—Formal an nouncement that the Lafayette-Penn game, originally scheduled for last Saturday, but called off by order of the Acting State Commissioner of Health, would be played this coming Saturday on Franklin Field, was made last evening by Head Coach Lieutenant Lewis A. Cobbett, after telephone communication with Grad uate Manager Bushnell, of the Penn team. The news was received with intense satisfaction here, for not only docs it dispose of the one va cancy that had been left on the Ma roon and White schedule, but it means also that both of the games to which the Lafayette student body BOXING WILL NOT BE BARRED National Sports Chairman Says That Manly Art Is to Help Fund Largely Herbert L. Pratt, chairman of the national sports committee, authori tatively denies the report that, the boxing diviison of United War Work must be abandoned because of op position from John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Dr. John R. Mott. "The ac count of the meeting is entirely mis leading," says he, 'and gives a very regrettable impression concerning tlid attitude of the committee on two important points. Let me make it clear, (irst of all, that neither John I). Rockefeller Jr. nor Dr. John R. Mott was present at the meeting or had any part in the action there taken. "Dr. Mott as a member of the Commission on Training Camp Ac tivities has consistently supported boxing in the training camps as a part of the commission's activities, and he and the other representatives of the war work agencies are en tirely in accord with the program of the sports committee. John D. Rockefeller Jr. has from the first been a supporter of the sports pro gram, and has arranged with his father to provide 1,200 victory med als to be competed for in golf tour naments throughout the country. "As regards athletic contests on' Bunday it was voted that the pro motion of such contests should be left entirely to the judgment and •wish of individual communities, /but that the committee, as such, would not promote Sunday contests. The members of tho committee voted on the sub'-' *, and feeling that no con trovoro.al subject should be allowed to inject itself into a campaign which Is dependent for its success upon the united support of the whole people. "The United War Work campaign Is to be conducted, like the Liberty campaigns, in the military can tonments 'and naval stations as well as in the cities and towns. Secre tary Daniels and Secretary Baker have given their approval to this, and it is expected that more than one million men in the cantonments and stations will have a large share In the success of the campaign, which is for the benefit of their fel lows overseas as well as themselves. "With this in mind the sports committee voted that the boxing contests be arranged in the canton ments, where boxing is a recognized part of the military program. Since the boys are-to be asked to contrib ute, the committee feels they should have a generous part in the plans for the sports program. "Every man connected officially ■with the campaign appreciates the wonderful response of the athletic Interests of the country to the United War Work campaign. Practically every amateur and professional ath lete has volunteered to help with out compensation. There is every reason to believe that the sports program will be one of the most at tractive and profitable features of the drive." Instead of being more or less dead, the local boxing drive now is a big ger thing than ever. Mr. Piatt said that he had received many encourag iJMAßLEY 214 IN- DEVON 1V 4 IN.

After the men had gathered in the training quarters they were surprised by be ing told to report at the military hospital, where everyone was inoc ulated and vaccinated. Coach Cob-- bett declared, however, that work on the gridiron would be resumed to day and with a week's extra time for the cripples to round into shape and for the new varsity players to receive some more seasoning, it is expected that Lafayette will be able to give a better account of herself this coming Saturday than she would have been able to had the game been played as originally scheduled. Berks County Makes Rabbit Hunting Record . With Total of 30,000 Up-to-date, the county of Berks is leading in the decimation of Friend Buriny, for it is estimated that 30,000 rabbits have so far perished, at the hands of 8,977 hunters. The county fairly teems with sharpshooters, notably among them Franklin H. Gross, who won several marksmanship records in the United States Army as a sharpshooter. He bagged nineteen in two days. They who have traveled the happy hunting grounds the last few days have noticed the appar ent lack of birds, regardless that the last two years, Hungarian and Virginia quail, were liberated in great numbers for breeding pur poses. Few of these have been seen by the hunters. This is said to be due to the severe winter and to the cleaning up of a number of farms, which years ago, were surrounded by fences and under brush, where coveys of quajl found good cover during severe snowstorms and were well pro tected. Since these have been re moved . the birds have had no place to seek shelter during these severe storms. For such reasons they were either frozen to death or migrated to other counties, where conditions for their welfare are better. ing replies to his cables asking that Jimmy Wilde and Georges Carpen tier be sent over.

Would suggest that reasons given for not complying with request of sports committee seem trivial." It was announced that Frank Ta berski, who recently gave hn exhi bition here in Harrisburg, will play four games, one each In New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Washing ton, with J. Howard Shoemaker, the amateur champion. In the mean time, Ralph Greenleaf has forward ed a challenge to Taberski to play for. the fund and give the champion a SI,OOO side bet if desired.

Mr. Metzger was one of the greatest ends the gridirpn has produced. He played so brilliantly for the University of Pennsylvania that he was Walter Camp's Ail- American choice In 1902 and 1903.

T 1 THEN one who hasn't been YY to the front lines is asked why football fits a man for the job he has to do 'Over There,' he has to get down to facts to prove the point There are two outstanding facts to prove the cause of football in this war. "First, the wholesale voluntary enlistment of varsity players the country over. "Second, the splendid record of these same men as officers and fighting men. Of course, there is the third fact, that the Government approves of football, but this is due more to the record of football men at the front than to a theory that football is O. K. Must Be Better Man "Now when we get down to the reason why football is a fine sport for array men we have to look into the game and the similarity be tween the sport and war itself. There are a few broad principles governing the iwo. In each the se cret of success lies in the concen tration of the most men at a given point at a proper time. And in each the individual who overcomes his antagonist must have reason for do ing so. He has to be a better man at the game.

Rockefeller, Jr., believes that boxing should be eliminated from the war fund entertainments because clergymen object, nevertheless Uncle Sam appears to hold it in high favor. Down at Camp Travis, Budd Goodwin, the War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities athletic director, has lnauguiated a brand new plan to further popularize boxing among the troops. With the co-opera tion of Brigadier General Ryan, Mr. Goodwin has set aside Tues day evenings as "Fite Nites," when all the boxers of reputation in the camp, and those who are aspiring to stellar supremacy, abandon thoughts of military routine for a two-hours' swatfest. According to Mr. Goodwin, . boxing as a meana of entertain ment at Camp Travis is growing out of bounds. The men are eager to participate in the bouts, and witness matches in the squared arena between the many stars of which the cqmp boasts. Fifteen thousand soldiers gath ered to witness the bouts on the first *"Flte Nlte," An address was delivered by General Ryan,\ in which he said: "I congratulate you on this magnificent showing I of an exhibition of clean sport.

And this spirit of the American forces is nothing more than college spirit Of a high and nobler order. . "Football teaches courage, con trol, stick-to-itiveness and to no small degree the ability to use one's brain in every emergency. A football player is not a good soldier, , but a football player has that with in him from which may be mould ed the finest of soldiers. He under stands and appreciates what loyal ty, teamwork, courage, skill, spirit and timely execution mean. "He knows discipline and train ing as he believes in his ability to withstand reverses and to keep everlastingly at it whatever his own condition may be or however over whelming the odds are against him. Ideal Raw Material "In short he is ideal raw mate rial for the game of war, for with all these qualities lie possesses strength and endurance. That he is ' successful in war is a well known fact. "All of these points combined make me firm in the belief that football is the best physical train ing for the soldier. It beats boxing because in boxing one faces but one opponent. In football and in war the odds are often greater. "I have organized a team for gridiron play under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. I believe I will have one of the finest elevens in the business. The "Y," like the K. of C., the Jewish Welfare Board, and other similar war work organiza tions, is ever ready to help the boys enjoy the various sports. This is only one of the many good things these organizations, as well as the Y. W. 0.

Mummers Abandon Plans For New Year's Pageant Because of War Activities There will be no "mummers' " demonstration tinder the auspices of the local association New Year's day. The pageants have been popu lar, but abandonment of the parade has virtually been decided upon by those who have heretofore been ac tive in making the demonstration a success, and the Chamber of Com merce will not be asked this year to I make an appropriation as in foriher years, the greater portion of which was distributed in cash prizes to the clubs and individual partici pants. Chairman Walter L. Montgomery, who has headed the financial com mittee said to-day it was doubtful whether the organizations which have taken part in the pageants year after year could muster suffi cient members to make a success ful showing. "Many of the mummers," said he, "are now in France fighting the Germans, and quite a number have been killed, and It Is "thought best on that account that the parade be abandoned on New Year's day. The war will be over, I hope, before an other year rolls by, and then the demonstration can bo resumed."

I did send a postcard and hope you received it. I am still very well. The weather over here isitarting to get very cool and at present it certainly is raining, which makes things very disagreeable, but we are getting used it, for we have to move in all kinds of weather. * * * I guess j you have read in the papers of the good work our boyft are doing, es pecially the Pennsylvania lads.

And, believe me, the way he lets them drop you would think they were cheap. It surely does require some running and hiding and they do make, a noise.
