Captain Coyle After receiving a Distingutshed Service Cross before a group of army Officers and the Members’ council of the Chamber of Commerce Friday afternoon, Capt. William J. Coyle, former University of Washington football star, severely criticized the existing methods of decorating Amer jean goktiers and deplored the fact P that “the doughboye—the men who aid the work,” are too often for rotten Capt. Coyle's citation was for ex- treme bravery shown during the first day of the Argonne drive, when he had charge of a sniping unit which wrecked a number of German ma- chine gun nests and captured 62 Prisoners. “Im accepting this cross,” said Coyle, “I don’t feel that I'm doing Says His Men Deserve the Honors the square thing to my men.
