Battling Le- Vinsky has already put in more than two weekn at this work at Camp Ayer, in Massachusetts, and his ver- sion of his duties is interesting. The Battler says he has done little actual boxing with the boys.» His time has been taken up principally with a sort of illustrative lecture on the hit, stop and get away sport.

It is not only a wonderful conditioner of men, but greatly increases the fighting effi- ciency.

Football and soccer are being en- couraged by the high military au- thorities. Hoth games instil a sort of fighting instinct that facilitates the teaching of modern warfare. There are some well known football men at Yaphank. After receiving the shipment from the Army Athletic Fund they are gradually organizing a rattling good eleven, oO much progress has been made that Camp pton would welcome the chance to meet other camp teams. A plan is on foot to bring the football teams from Yaphank und Wrightstown to- gether at the Polo Grounds some time next month, Soccer is finding much favor with our soldiers, not only because it 1s a g00d strenuous sport, but it proved 80 popular with the Canadian con- tingents at the battle Ines. Within fort eht hours after the bloody battle of Vimy Ridge the Canadia were playing soccer on the captured ground, 80 nm are the Dominion fighters for the game on the war zone. Handballs and other supplies were included in the shipment so that the \conseripts would be provided with oor recreation when the weather mes unsuitable for outside games. he arrival of the supplies came at a time when the drafted men were desperately in need of relaxation from the strict amp routine, a change which best can be supplied by athletic activities. In the opinion of Gen. Pershing, athletic equipment 4s second only in importance to food and clothing for an army, Athletic creation means a high morale and soldiers in high spirits assure a vic- torious army. The presence of the great boxes of athletic goods at Camp Upton revived the spirits of the drafted men, who were beginning to feel a little de pressed at the thought of a dn winter in camp, But the enthusia of athletic activity worked like magic and the selectives at Yaphank now are competing with each other to at- tain athletic profictency, All athletic activities at Camp Up- ton are under the direction of Frank Glick, Princeton's football captain in 1915, who is athletic alde to Major Gen.
