S PORTS. Life of Army Foot Ball Players Is Not All Beer and Skittles by Any Means POINT NOT LENIENT WITH GRID GREATS Cagle, Team Captain, Toils Harder Than Cadet Not in Varsity Sports. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. S the life of an Army foot ball play- er all beer and skittles? Hardly. Piling into West Point shortly be- fore midnight on Sunday, stiff and sore from the gruelling contest against Illinois at Champaign, the foot ball players hurried to their barracks and went to bed. And were they per- mitted to lounge in bed next morning, perhaps having their breakfast brought to them by faithful orderlies. They were not. They arose at reveille at 5:50 am., when the dawn is never colder or bleak- er, just the same as their fellow cadets. And lest it be belleved that (‘(‘l\fBC‘ men, who have entered the United States Military Academy and are play- ing foot ball are leading anything in the way of a cushy existence as cadets, let the following little exposition of a day at West Point as it applies to members of the graduating class, Red Cagle, Bust:r Perry, Johnny Murrell and O'Keefe, be perused and digested. Cagle, captain of the eleven, for in- stance. He aros: on Monday at 5:50 o'clock. Being room orderly this week this eminent foot ball hero had to sweep and dust his room. With such time as was left he had to prepare for & 6:30 breakfast. Much (flass Work. Back in his room at 7:05, he was on his own until 5 njinutes to 8. In this period he might run errands to the cadet store, to the tailor shop, or any- where about the reservation. But time must also be allowed in this interlude for_some studving € His first call came at 7:55 and until 9:15 he remained ia class. Going back to his room there was a study period until 10:30 with classes at 10:30 until 11:56. Assembly for luncheon was sounded at noon and at 12:40 he went back to his room to prepare for riding formation at 1 o'clock. He rode for two hours. Every other day one hour of the two spent on horseback would be in class and another hour at study. ‘Through, in either case, at 3 o'clock, he had 15 minutes to change into dress uniform and get into ranks for 3:15 as-| sembly. He drilled until 4:25. This he | did on Monday and will do sgain on Friday. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays instead of going to drill he | goes to foot ball practice, reporting on | the field at 3:30. At this time the other cadets are engaged in intramural spbrts. It should be noted that on Wednesday afternoons at 3 all non-var- sity cadets are free to do as they please until 6:20 p.m. Foot Ball Men Toil, On Mondays and Fridays wher drill is im) at 4;%, hurries out of his uniform and into boot ball togs, reporting at the field at 4:50, working until 5:35. Then, tak- ing his shower, he climbs into dress \;nzi‘;oljm for dinner, which comes -‘at aving the mess hall at 6:55, he has 20 minutes for diversion—in his room. Precisely, then, at 7:15 comes an in- spection officer to see that he is hard at work studying. Between this hour and 9:30 his room is twice inspected. At 9:30 tattoo is sounded and he makes down his bed, into which he climbs at 10. Lights out, the barracks are as quiet as the bulldings of a deserted village. Saturday afternoon he is playing foot ball. Non-foot ball players are free after 1:10 until 6. Sunday reveille at 7. Breakfast, chapel, 10:30 until noon. Free until 4:30 when dress parade is held. Night—study. So wnef foot ball players who are thinking of entering West Point would «do well to ponder. (Copyright, 1829 NEW BURROUGHS A. C.

KANSAS CITY, November 13.—Two intersectional gamres in which Big Six foot ball teams participate this month offer little hope of glory for the con- ference if it be true that history repeats itself.

Misouri will invade Yankee Stadium to battle the Violets of New York Uni- versity Saturday with the shadow of that record over them. Kansas Aggles, already beaten, 19 to 0, by Texas A. and M, will face Marquette in Mil- waukee Thanksgiving day with the same handicap.

Babcock’s score tied a previous mark of Miss Levy fof the season's high game in this league. The Columbians won two from the Hilltoppers. ‘Three league records were established by the Curb Cafe bowlers when they met the Artie Bells in the Northeast League. The Cafemen had a set of 1,741 and game of 631 and Dutch Weid- man a set of 395, all top marks. At that, Curb was forced to put on all steam to win two of three games, the Bells totalling 1,780, including & 616~ game. \ Speaking of Northeast bowlers, Maxie Rosenberg 15 mustering an all-star line- up to meet a collection of Queenpin ex- | - 'h | perts next Friday night at the North- east Temple.

Five games will be rolied at the Tem- sle and five next Monday night at the ueenpin, total pins to decide the series. Harry Dixon, who won fame with a 445 set that stood for several years as the all-time record here, isn’t doing so well this season in the Aggies Interbu- reau League, in which his mark was es- tablished. Latest averages reveal Harry with a pace of 103, which doesn't seem befitting. A close race is on for the Aggles in- dividual championship, with Hevener of Economics having done best so far, with an average of 110 for 27 games. Moeller of Solls-Chemistry has the same aver- age, but has rolled not half as many games. Several bowlers are close’behind these two, and Dixon figures to be up there before the finish, Lorraine Gulll will be the center of attraction when the new bowling alley at Mount, N.

Let’s look at a play that closely resembles it to H the defense until it is too late for the defense to return to the paint of attack. Once a defensive left tackle has a wide run pulled around him, such as ‘was shown recently, he’s very likely, upon seeing the ball passed to back No. 1, and back No. 1 turn and fake passing it to No. 2, to charge wide to break up the same sweep around his end. Rockne wants him to. ‘When that wish of the Notre Dame ccach becomes action on the de- fensive tackle, No. 1 spins clear around as No. 2 sweeps past him to the right, and comes back inside the defensive tackle like a ton of falling brick. No tackle has a chance against such a play if he has made a false move. Two men jam him the way he has started to go. CHICAGO U. ALUMNI LIKE ELEVEN NOW By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, November 13.—University of Chicago alumni tonight will praise members of their Maroon foot ball team for taking their advice, A year ago the grads invited the team to its annual banquet and bluntly condemned it for not showing proper Maroon spirit, for not takin mmi’fig seriously enough and for not fighting.
