N., " Amateurs May Compete With Professionals at Army Camps—Appropriates $5,000 for Championship Meets - Do ar x5 50 e disT St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 19.—The board ot control of the Amateur Athletic union today adopted an amendment to the by-laws providing that amate: may compete with professionals in athletic events at army encampments during the war. The board also approved an appro- priation of 35,000 to promote cnam pionship meets at army cantonments. The money will be used for the pur- chase of medals. The board also decided to waive the registration fee for athletes in army cantonments. Because of war conditions, several rules of the National Amateur Athletic union of the United States were ex- pected to be changed at the anaual meeting which began here today. Justice Bartow S. Weeks of New York, chairman of the executive com- mittee, announced today he will pro- pose an amencément to allow enlisted men to compete among themselves, even against professionals, without impairing their standing, as long as the prizes are other than money. ‘Secretary-Treasurer Rubien will of- fer an amendment proposing that women swimmers be allowed expenses for a chaperone, because many have missed meets because they did not want to travel alone. The board of control accepted all the athletic records submitted for approval with a few exceptions. In the men's swimming records the time on the 200 yard relay for four men was cut from 1 minute, 45 1-5 seconds to 1 minute 42 <1-5_seconds. The record was made by the Yale team at New Haven, Conn., on Feb. 28, 191%, in a 25 yard tank. NEW LONDON FIVE ARE EASTERN BOWLING CHAMPS.

New York, Nov. 19.—A sudden and inexplainable chapge for the better came over the stock market towards the end of today’s trading, after more than four hours of listlessness and ir- regular price changes. al dealinzs were characterized by an outburst of activity in which leading shares. were carried 2 to 4 points over lowest levels of the day. There were no known developments to mccount for the movement, but the character of the buying, which nafural- ly included considerable short cover- ings, suggested carly and favorable news in the railroad rate situation. Union Pacific featured the rails and S. Steel the industrials, the form- er jumping at half point gains from 112 3-4 to 116 1-4. Steel was taken in large lots at steady U. rise from 92 1-4 to 95 1-8, closing at its best, a nef{ gain of 3 1-4 points. The turnover in the las* thirty min- utes aggregated almost 25 per cent. of the day’s total. In the morning and during the in- termediate session the only noteworthy features were of a depressing or neg- ative nature. Delaware and Hudson dropped 4 1-2 points to 7 1-8, its min- imum of many vears, Pennsylvania's fractional recession to 46 1-2 repre- sented the lowest quotation for that stock in'over a generation, Italian ex- change recorded a further collapse and Liberty 4’'s fell to a discount of 3 per cent. These adverse conditions were large- 1y rectified in the rally at the close, al- theugh the bond market shared only slightly in the improvement manifested elsewhere.

FOOTBALL FIGHTING SPIRIT. By SOL SETZGER, ~Washington and Jefferson Football Team. the old Harvard coach, stown navy yard eleven recentiy defeated the i6th division eleven from Camp Devens, coached by Percy Haughton, told me not long ago that the biz moment in foctball was when the team vou were coaching was ahead when the last whistle blew. But there is one thing finer in football than victory, and that is its fighting spirit. Fighting spirit is brad in football players, it is the soul of the game and about the' fighting spirit of football teams ‘there rallies college spirit. whicn is close kin to patriotism. Indeed, were it not for the fighting spirit of college elevens there would be little college spirit. Football fighting spirit has taught the college man to appreciste patriotism and loyalty. It has enabled the coileze man to do his part in this war in no small degree just as th> discipline and spirit of college spo: acoording to Secretary Baker, gave ‘the goverrment its plan for solving the recreation problem in our military and naval camps. There are two kinds of fighting spirit in football—individual and team. ‘We, who have much to do with the making of college teams, hold this fighting spirit above 'systems of play and our knowledge of the game. With- out it a team is doomed to failure— fajlure in good old American grit and nerve. Though it may win, the team which shows the fighting spirit gets all the praise. This fall I had the good fortune.to witness two good examples of football fighting spirit. In the Pittsburg-Penn- sylvania game the latter eleven gave a Coach AMcomsromaven magnificent. example of fighting spirtt against great odds. In the _Arm Notre Dame contest Oliphant, the bril- IFant leader of the West Point eleven, seemed to me to be playing such splendid football that alone he was al- most an_equal match for the splendid Notre Dame eleven. In both these examples this fighting spirit was. note- worthy because it was made. against odds. In the Pennsylvania-Pittsburg game Penn was not expected to have any chance whatever. An overwhelming Gefeat at the hands of Georgia Tech ac the start of the year, the fact that the team was much the lighter of the two, and the known prestige of Pitt were the reasons assigned for -another crushing setback. But the little Quakers. filled to over- tiowing with what they call “The t of '76” in Red and Blue foot- bail, made up in savage determination and sheer regklessness what they la ed in almost everything else. = ‘Whil they went down to defeat, two touch- downs to one, there was not one pres- ent, including the .clean blaying and sportsmanlike Pitt plavers, who dd not think it a defeat tinged with vic tory. At that the breaks of the game favored Pift. Its first score was u most fortunate - execution of a long forward pass and its second a blockei kick, while excellent footbal], was no finer bit of playing than the little Quakers themselves showed when they, too, blocked a punt. In the firet case the ball bounded back close to Penn’s goal where a Pitt player gained it; in the second the ball fell dead behind the line of scrimmage. Every- body admired Penn for that galiant isht. The play of “Ollie” Oliphant against Notre Dame was nothing short -of miraculous. Without in any sense wishing to detract from the splendil playing of the well balanced team of Notre Dame. it is my beliefe thaton a dry field Oliphant would have .ccme very close, single handed, to winning that game for the Army. His play was of the savage. fighting style, yet never did he lose control of himself or fail to make use of every faculty to turn the tide. It is mighty comforting 1o know that men of Oliphant’s type are bred- on the football fields of West Point and Annapolis each vear. A year ago a coach and a team from the' eastern section of the middle west sprang into sudden fame when Indi- ana, tutored by “Humbo"” Stiehm, de- feated- the ~splendid eleven of Tufts, congueror of Harvard. All the ods favored Tufts and,é when a touchdown | and goal from the field had sent the down-easterners -home without . the bacon many left that game with the impression_that Indiana won a fluky vietory. -Stiehm, ‘the coach, was new to the e: True, he had been a Wis- consin star in his college days and later had won rgnown at Nebraska, but these facts had been almost totally overlogked in the east. Shiehm now stands high as a coach anywhere. This is -his. version of that memorable game. “In’ our Tufts game last fall you wilk.remember that Tufts had a series of plays in which the center faced his backfield and tossed the ball to the quarter. The plays were “extrem: dangerous when. once under way. Th. chances of - their going wrong wera small. Tufts had used them to good advantage against both Harvard and Princeton. “Our ‘plah Was to smash up._this at- tack before it got u‘xlder way. To do so we had to mnail the quarter in his tracks before he could pass the ball to another back. We accomplished this by having Stutesman, our center, dive over the Tufts center, as he passed the ball, and tackle the quarter receiving it. - *“We also knew that. Tufts did not sufficiently protect the —Dplayers ‘who received forward passes. We took ad- vantage of this by covering each of their eligible men with two -or three or four players eaeh time Tufts;tried the pass. When Erehart caught a Tufts forward pass and ' sprinted 40 | Brehart was The unequalled Burley flavor is improved and sealed in; delivered to you fresh; because the tobacco It’s Toasted a touchdown there was no it. It was anything else. there because we had anticipated the pass. ootball campaigns,’” eontinued Stiehm, “must be as carefuily planned beforehand as the campaigns in Flan- ders. One must study the opponent’s strength and weakness and the know- ledge gained thereby musi be known not ooly to the coach bhut the players as well. It is a’ basic principle of all competitive athletics t| one must know tis opponent's game better ,or as well as one’s own. This is especialiy true in football “But above all.” says Stiehm. “there must be in the heart of each man on the team a desire to win—a desire to overcome obstacles. to fight on and on, whatever the odds. Without this fighting_spirit a football team is com- posed of pippets; with it, a small and outweighed ‘eleven is often able to overcome its hLeavier and apparendy superior rival. “You ask why Indiana ‘was able to overcome Tufts? Aside from the rea- sons already ascribed I must add that we held a heavier and most excellent opponent because Indiana fought and fought. = Pighting that way wins foot- ball games just as-it wins batiles, the battle of ‘life included. “When this great ‘war has beea fought out ite records will show that men who have fought om the gridiron withstood the rigors of trench life besi, fitted in and worked hardest in the fighting machine, fought hardest and yet were the most easily disci- plined _of “ail .our . solders. - Football training works out that way. Not the least praise that will be given te football .when this war has been fought to a successful- conclusion is the fact that its fighting spirit, bred on the gridiron, north and south, east and west, has been no small facter in contributing to the fighting spirit of those splendid boys who have gone and are going “over there.’ (Copyright, 1817, Sol Metzger.) yards tor fluke to AMERICAN WAR MISSION / IS DOING USEFUL WORK Each Member is- Dealing With Mat- ters in Which He is an Adept.
