SCORELESS TIE
AT CAMP JACKSON
Hancock Division Team Plays
Snappy Game—High Wind
Interfered.
With a strong wind blowing Camp
Hancock football team played the divis
ional team of Camp Jackson last Satur
day, at Columbia, and the game ended
with neither side scoring. The wind
was so powerful as to interfere with
the game seriously and made it difficult
to field the punts accurately.
Camp Jackson has not been scored
against yet but the Hancock players gave
them one of the greatest games they
have played and the boys from Hancock
went away with the reputation of having
been one of the strongest teams that has
visited Columbia.
Snappy ball was played, notwithstand
ing the high winds and some clever play
ing was witnessed by the thousands of
spectators. Although the ball was in
Hancock's territory most of the time, the
Jackson players lacked the punch to put
it over the top. Cody, a former Van
derbilt star, tried three times to kick
a field goal, but failed in the attempts.
The ball was on Hancock’s five-yard line
when the first half ended.
Schultz featured for Hancock with his
clever tackling, while Gill, Moore, Wick
erham and Morrison played a sterling
game. The line-up:
Camp Jackson. Camp Hancock.

112TH SOCCER KAM
TOO MUCH FOR 111 TH
Lieutenant Barlow Develops
Smooth - Working - Machine.
Chew Does Good Work.
A remarkable and interesting game
of association football was played on
Wednesday, December sth, between
regimental teams of the 111th and 112th
Infantry. The score was 3 to oin fav
or of the 112th Infantry.
Much credit is due to the boys of
the 112th who volunteered to play in
place of another team of the division,
which cancelled its engagement at the
eleventh hour. The 112th team had
never played before as a team, al
though every man is a player and
knows the game. The team of the
111th is composed of seasoned players,
who have played on well known Amer
ican and English teams.
Under the able leadership of Lieut.
Barlow, who plays center half, the team
has developed into a smooth machine.
The splendid forward line, Chew on
outside right starring, has a striking
resemblance to a well balanced scale,
each man playing his position- The
halfback together with both fullbacks
seemed to form an insurmountable bar
rier to the opposing forwards which
accounts for the fact that the goal
keeper of the 111th team had to handle
very few shots of which he disposed
very well.
The game started at 3 p. m. sharp
Lieut. Cotterel umpiring. The tilth
carried the ball immediately into ene
my territory but could not find the
rang?. It was not until the twenty
fourth minute of play that Fleisher
handed a ball to Phillips who scored
the first goal. The second goal was
scored by Chew from a penalty. Half
time, 2 to 0.
The resistance of the 112th team
stiffened in the second half and be
came aggressive at times. Only the
wonderful nlaving of Ferguson prevent
ed sonrmg. Ten minutes before the
end Phi’lins scored the third and last
go->l from center from the. left.
There were unite a number of spec

The enlisting of four of our men in

which were not reported last week.
We suggest the following games for
the use of the company athletic of
ficers:
Hook Arm Tag.
Each player take a partner and hook
inside arms, form long circle. One
man is “it,” other man is chased by
“it.” Chased man runs around out
side circle and hooks arms of any
player making three in a group instead
of two. Third man must run and hook
on to some other couple before he is
tagged by- “it.” If “it” man tags chas
ed man they immediately change places

and “it” becomes the chased man.
Pom-Pom Pull-a-Way.
Marking a square area, across which
, men must run, signal him given to

each man is tagged he assists in the
center to tag other men until all are

signal.
Dodge Ball.
Have large circle, with one-half the
t men in the circle, the others forming a
. circle. Men forming the circle try to
hit the men inside the ring with the
Basket Ball or Soccer Ball, each man
■ being hit falls into the outside circle
and assists in hitting the man left in
the ring. When all are out of the cen-
; ter, change places; the men forming
’ the outside circle, first, being in the
center, the men who were inside be
coming the outer circle.
Rooster Fight.
, Men lined up in twos, arms folded,
hopping on one foot; object being to
1 make the other men put foot down on
the ground—take any man-—-best roost
er, the man left still hopping.
Policeman’s Billy.

placing “Billy” in any man’s hand who
’ chases the man on his right around the
I circle to position he started from. Man

i “Billy’ ’in another man’s hand.
“Billy”—stuffed club of cloth about
i thirty inches long.
109TH FIELD ARTILLERY
DEFEATS TRENCH M.B.
Victors Have Eleven Successes
and Not One Defeat. May
Play Division Team.
Saturday afternoon the ■ 109th Artillery
team added another game to its long list
of victories by defeating Trench Mortar
Battery, a team composed entirely- of
former Bucknell varsity, and stars from
various Pennsylvania prep schools.
The game was clean and fast, both
teams being in the best condition, and
the Mortar boys being determined to
break the clean record of the artillery
team. From the beginning, the stiperior
strength and speed of the Artillery was
evident and the game ended with a score
of 19-0.
This completes a schedule of eleven
games, all victories and the Artillery goal
line has not been crossed.
During the past week the team has
been strengthened by the addition of
Coons and Nolan, formerly with the cav
alry. These men with Jones, Evans, H.
Hughes. Haban, D. Hughes, Strojny and
Randall compose two powerful sets of
backs which can be relied upon. The
line with a few exceptions has been de
veloped from new material. Davies and
Leader, ends, have been great ground
gainers in every game and with the rest
of the line have shewn wonderful form in
tackling.
The success of the team is due to the
coaching of Brown, former State Col
lege star, now an officer in the 109th.
His untiring energy and knowledge of
the finer points of the game has made his
team one of the finest if not the best in
the division.
The question of sunremacy will be de
cided in the near future when this team
meets the picked team of the division,
coached by Walter Camp, Jr. This game
has been arranged several times but the
teams have not been able to get to
gether. Both teams are confident and
the followers are eagerly awaiting the
conflict.
AMBULANCE NO. 2~WINS
Last Saturday afternoon, on the old
cavalry drill field, Ambulance Co. No.
2, displayed its prowess in the game of
soccer by defeating the team of the 11th
Infantry. Both teams gave a clever ex
hibition, but the ambulance boys dis
played better generalship and the score
ended 2too in their favor. This victory
sends the stock of the Ambulance soc
cerites soaring, for recently they de
feated the team consisting largely of
British Tommies.
Attention, Soccer Teams!
Would you like to join a soccer
league, games to be played on Wed
nesday and Saturday afternoon. Send
two men to represent your team Sat
urday night, December 15th, to the
administration building, Army Y. M.
C, A., corner Wheless and Wrights
boro roads. Be on hand promptly at
7:30.
VICTROLA WANTED.
Who has an extra victrola about the
house, that gets in the way and annoys
the housekeeper? - The administration
building of the Army Y. M. C. A. has a
very desirable place for storing the pesky
thing and besides, we guarantee to keep
it from rusting. Kind friends have sent
us a number of victrola records, but
they forgot the important thing—the ma
chine. Who will operate it and when
are two items that have will be worked
out by the administration staff after said
machine arrives. Here’s a chance to add
greatly to the musical culture of the
folks at the entrance to camp—and some
of us need it badly.
