The German trenches were only 160 yards away, and they sent up star shells every few moments and opened up with machine guns on everything that they saw moving out in front. After dark the Bergeant and his men crawled out and began putting down the posts. Every Ume there wasa flare they lay flat on their faces and didn't move until it was dark again, Then they'd renew the work. After a time they noticed that It was @ iong while between the German flares. It was a pitch black night, but the Ger- mans seemed to be relaxing their vigilance, “The Sergeant was standing up when he felt somebody move right at his elbow and stand up beside him in the darknoss, He thought It was one of his men. “*How would you like to put some of those poste wR for us? whispered the man at his elbow, in perfect Eng- lsh, th "The Gergeant thought then the man beside him in the Warkn: was a patrol from further along the Une of English trenches, He turned, and just then a flare went off and he saw the man was @ German officer in full uniform. “Men putting up wire wear heavy leather glovey, covered with iron studs, to keep the wire from tearing their hands, The Sergeant didn’t have time to reach fora weapon. He swung his right and the tron-studded glove caught the German officer on the Jaw and smashed him down, Tho Sergeant dragged him back into the trench, a prisoner. At the same time his six men saw a bunch of Germans in a shell hole a few yards from the trenches and jumped in on top of them and killed them.

HERE'S a strong reminder of the good old days in the foot- ball schedule to-day, which brings together Cornell and Michigan in an intersectional battle, and Pitts burgh and Washington and Jefferson. These are the two best games on the card and they should produce some- thing more than the “informal” brand. The Cornell squad left Ithaca yes- terday afternoon for Ann Arbor, but without the nolse and encouragement of thousands of students that for- merly sent other Cornell elevens off to battle, Up in Ithaca now they give more attention to their aviation training school than to football, but this week there was more interest in the big Red team because of the coming game with Michigan. The Cornell coaches have speeded up the practice and developed an ef- ficient forward passing attack, one of | the best Cornell has had in years, it is said, Hoffman, Pendleton, Cross and Colvin, four fast men, have been drilled in handling double and triple passes with which to surprise thelr Western opponents, Hoffman also has been getting greater distance to After many unsuccessful attempt a match has finally been clinched be- tween Mike Gibbons, the sensational | middleweight of St; Paul, and Harry| Grev of Pittsburgh, who has become one of the most talked about fighters Jin the ring in the last six months, | Several clubs in the West havo been| | trying far some time to bring the men} | together, but it was not until a few! | days ago that @ promoter of Pitts- burgh was lucky enough to sign up ters, They will come together ripe round bout on the night of | Dee. 4, Gibbons ts to receive a guar \antee of $8,500 with an option of 35 per cent. of the recelpts, while Greb \{s to draw down a guarantee of $4,000. ‘The Fairmont A. ©. will conduct lunder the Frawley law to-night, Next Satur | | Might the tint membershiy» bill will be put on. | [amt trmont ATO, wes the firt aud to hold « \nouing show under the law that dies next wrek Joe Burman of Chicago aud Frankie Daly of Staten | Island are the beadlinem to-night, with four round boule, ‘Towight at the Clermont Sporting Club three \ten-round outa will be staged.
