During the second quarter the 108th carried the pig skin to within fifteen feet of the 109th Battalion's goal but there they met a stonewall defense and were unable to' push the ball across for a count. Forward passes were used at frequent intervals, netting both sides substantial gains. It was the first appearance of the 109th team in a game and they did re markably well with but a few hours of signal practice. 109th M. G. Eh. Co “B” 108th M. G. Bn. LlyeTMall Right End.

The team has not been relieved from any c_’ their military duties to , ractice and is made up of material mo§t of which never knew the game until a little over a month ago- Their record so far in games played is as folows: Ammunition Try’ 0; 109th Artil lery, 32. Trench Mortar Battery, 0; 109th Ar tillery, 36. Battery E, 107th F. A.. 0; 109th Ar tillery, 6. Co. F, A ibulance Train, 0; 109th Ar tillery, 26. Battery B, 107 ht F. A., 0; 109th Ar tillery, 35. .

A glee club, which is limited to a double quartette and a small chorus h s beem’formed in the 109th Field Ar tillery and has participated in a num ber of the church services of the regi ment as w 11 as at several Y. M. C. A. functions. The club is progressing very nicely and is rapidly rounding into shape under the instruction of L eut. Edward Brown, Battery D, 109th F. A. It is hoped that all singers in the reg iment, whether they can read music or not, will try for this club. Married Men Will Play Single Men Colonel Williams, of the Ammunition Train, and his ofifeers have organized a series of five volley ball games, to be played between the married and single men. The losers of the series will pro vide a supper for the winners. FOOTBALL VICTIMS LESS Football exacted a toll of twelve victims during the 1917 season which ended with Thanksgiving Day games, The number was six less than in 1916 and four less than two years ago. In 1914 there were 15 deaths. BROKE ANKLE_PRACTICI IMG Roy Hacker, Headquarters Company 109th Machine Gun Battalion, broke his ankle while practicing on the basket bail court Saturday afternoon. His loss is a blow to the San-Hqrs team, as I’acker was one of the best men. TRENCH AND CAMP 109TH F. A. DEFEATS BATTERY 8., 107TH In one of the scrappiest games seen at Camp Hancock, the 109th Field A'r tillery football team defeated Battery B, 107th Field Artillery, on Thanks giving Day, by the one-sided score of 34 to 0. A big crowd witnessed the contest, which resulted in a number of pensonal encounters. The 109th boys were too much for Battery B, but the latter showed great determination- and spirit. The game was fast and furious fro mthe start and those who were present stated it was one of the best they had ever seen. Will Play The Division Team The phenomenal success of the foot ball team of the 109th Field Artillery has aroused keen enthusiasm among lovers of the game. The team is un usually strong and has not met with a single defeat since being in camp, nor have they been scored on. The 109th fans are now looking forward to a game between the 28th division team and the 109th and if it can be ar ranged, it will be an event worth see ing. It is hoped that a definite date will be set soon. AMBULANCE SOCCER TEAM WINS FROM 110TH INF. Today (Sunday) the vanquishers of the crack soccer team composed of English Tommies. Ambulance Co. No. 2 of Ta cony, Philadelphia, defeated a team corn rosed of players selected from the 110th Rergiment Infantry, by four goals to nothing. It was easily seen from the start that Ambulance Co., had the better team and during the first half, scored two goals through the fine shots of Rooney, the Gashing center-forward. Upon resuming play, however. Ambulance team slack < ned up somewhat but managed to ac count for two more tallies through Roon ey and Mason, this being the extent of the scoring. We play this team a re turn game on their field which is lo cated on the Cavalry Drill ground. We also expect a return game with the Eng- Vsh Tommies in the near future.

The statistical report of the activi ties of the Army Y. M. C. A. along re creational lines is necessarily omitted from this week’s “Trench and Camp.” Four assistants enlisting for service and only two new men reporting has seriously handicapped our work for the past week. We are expecting three additional new men within the week and hope to get the new organization on a working basis in as short a space of time as possible. New basket ball, foot ball, and volley ball equipment is arriving and being put into use. Following is a list of the basket ball courts in use almost continuously: One at each Y. M. C. A. building. One at 110th Infantry. One at 107th Machine Gun Battalion. One at 108th Machine Gun Battalion. One at 109th Machine Gun Battalion. One at Military Police. One at Headquarters Signal Corps. One at 103rd Engineers. One at 103rd Ammunition Train . One at 109th Field Artillery. One at Motor Supply Company. , GEO. R. FLEMING, Associate Division Athletic Director.
