Second Group Wins From
Quartermaster Corps
By Score 25 to 0
By Capt. J. J. Isaocson.
Second Group jumped into the foot- |
' ball limelight with both feet Saturday, ,
: by virtu • of its decisive victory ov< r
i the Quartermaster C’oprs, 25 to 0.
As a result of the sbowiny mad 1 in ;
! their first gum*, followers of Major'
1 Wiley Nixon’s .'peed boys expecting:
J great thing -of the newly formed grid- |
! iron spuad.
A strong attack, but an erratic de- ;
i fen:;e was shown by the Second Group j
■ eleven in its first game. When the ;
■speed boys' backfield tore into the j
1 supply men’s line, they gained (’on- j
sistently, and the halfbacks and ends i
1 ; showed splendid coordination in for
ward passing. But the line failed to
demonstrate the proper quality nf foot
ball which is to be expected of a sue- I
ces.-ful team.
: This week Lieut. C. K. Perrin, the.
<oach, is concentrating bis work on (he ;
lino, in an endeavor to strengthen the I
one weak point.
'rhe victory of t'ae Second Group
1 over the Quartermaster el- ven has not
swelled the Is ads of the Brownies one •
iota, and they have settled down to the '
: hard grind which Lieut. Perrin has
i mappvd out for them. B fore Satur-
' day’s game, the Second Group team j
. had only a few days of practice, and
f several of the mon in the game did not
; even know the signals. Better team
work is expected after the men have
. experi ncod another week of practice.

TRENCH AND CAMP
} ty" Holmgren, gritty little left half,

I Al quarterback, I> Witte gave prom
’ ise of proving a star. He handled ihe
uam in fine shape, and unvari.ibly
I e.ili- .l the right play al the right time.
- St. Germain at right half, and Smn
; mers at fullback carried the ball lor
: eon- is;* nt gains, and played good de
; fens!V"*football.
Two speedy ends are assured, with
M<-Ardlu at the right wing and either
Verkstt, Johnson or Justman at the
left. McArdle’s ability to pull forward
, ja.-scs out of the clouds should prove
■ a factor in Lh-ut. I’errlq s scoring rna
< hine, while b ■ work on defensive will
count for mt .1 in keeping the oppo
<• al - Horn s < onji Group s goal line.
Th? right side of the line, with Gins

its own Saturday am- should be able
’o take care of its side of the trench
against all corners, li is the left side
of the line which needs strengthening.

i Officers and enlisted men are tuk-
• ing a keen interest in the Second
(Iroiip's learn, as manifested by the at
t'-ndanco at. Sat* -day’s game. About
1.000 officers ar.d men from the group
witnessed the eontest, among them be
ing Major Dixon, group commander,
i.id Captain L. A. Bacon, commander
of (he ith Battalion.
| The Second Group's Band led a pro-
• cession to the game, which was played
on Hr old 4th Battalion drill area on
Wholcss Road, opposite the dental in
firmary. After the ggme, the band
- played lhe victors home again.
The team has been completely equlp-
I p r d with uniforms, through the gener

Group, who contributed over .S3OO to
I purchase the equipment.
I Here are the details of Saturday's
i victory.
' Opening up slowly in the first quarter
the two teams seesawed back and forth
. um.'l nearly the end of the quarter, when
'Orono 2 secured the bail on its own 30-
yard line or punt. St. Germain plunged
‘hrough the line for 10 yards and De-
i Witte passed to McArdle for a 15-yard
'gain. On the next play. De Witte pas ed

i HAVE YOU GIVEN TO WAIT WORK DRIVE?
OVER THE TOP
By Joe Jacobs
Through the ci »ng of the war
against the horrible Huns, boxing is
almost certain to take a great boom,
not. only in this country, but through
out the whole world. There are hun
dreds of good, husky young boxers who
have been in the service now for some
years who will be released from the
ranks in the near future and who will
then have a chance to put on the
gloves and take the places of the tango
stars who have been slackers through
the war and who have been making
.fortunes while the “boys over there”
I have been risking their lives for Uncle
j Sam.
Sports Used Their Votes.
Followers of boxing in New York
I feel elated over the defeat of Governor
I Whitman by Alfred Smith, and they
'feel certain that it will mean a re
sumption of the sport in the Empire
State in the near future.
Outdoor Sports to Run Into Winter
Months.
Th sporting world is beginning to
recover from the war and the recent
“llu” epidemic. The United War Work
Drive lias added a big stimulus to the
situation and the result is that outdoor
activities will be continued longer into
the winter than is usually the case.
Thanksgiving Day hhs for many years
marked the deadline for open-air con
tests, but this year is an exceptional
one, and if the weather will permit
there will be doings well up to Christ
inas. Camp Hancock’s football elevon
is planning to prolong the football sea
| son into next month, in order to play
|the*games that still remain on their
i schedule. Furthermore, the Machine
.Gunners’ team intends to play as long
.as opponents can be found, and are
|confident that they will merge with-
out a defeat. (j

S. A .T. C. Saves Football.
"The S. A. T. C. has saved the life ''
of football in the American colleges,” »
said “Big Bill” Edwards, one of the j
greatest- in more ways than mere (
avoirdupois football players Princeton t
ever produced. I
' 1 thought that the game would be •
ruined because of the war and because ; j
all the big colleges were turned into j
war ramps," hexsaid, “but now 1 real- ;
i jze that it is the greatest thing for',
the spqrt that could have happened. 11

HANCOCK ORDNANCE
BEATS CHARLESTON
‘ Charleston.- Special to The Herald.
The Ordnance football team from I
‘ Camn Hancock defeated the Charles- I
ton Receiving Station eleven here Sat- |
I urday afternoon by the score of 10 to 0. !
The Tars put up a rather poor exhibi
tion of gameness, four of their men
being put out of the game for rough
tactics and their team penalized three
times.
The first quarter passed without a
score, the ball staying around the cen
ter of the field during the entire pe
riod. Charleston was penalized for
1 slugging immediately after the kick
off. A punting duel continued until
the Start of the second half, when
Hancock brought the ball to the five
yard line and fumbled. Charleston
punted out of danger. At this point
Grubb ran sixty yards for a touch
down. but the umpire decided that he
had run out of bounds on the ten yard
lino. Starting the ball in play at that
point, Coffee shot over the line for the
first score of the game, and Weltch
kicked goal. Charleston kicked to
Ordnance and was again penalized fif
teen yards for fighting. Through a
series of clever runs by Coffee, Welch
of the Ordnance brought the ball to
the fifteen yard line as the whistle
blew for the half.
During the third quarter the ball
, traveled up and down the field, neither
side getting within striking distance.
Johnson, Charlestons'back, made some
nice runs during this period. In the
fourth period Haneo ?k brought the
ball down to the fifteen yard line on
passes and wide runs by Grubb and
Willard. From there Welch took it
over on a clever delayed pass, and
Conover kicked goal, oilverman made
a forty yard run to the ten yard line
as the game was called.
Shock, Thomas and Hott did great
work on the line for Hancock, and [
Conover played his usual excellent
game.

PLAYER LlmlT OF
18 MEN SUGGESTED
Ch'cago. —Eighteen players will be suf
ficb nt to win a major league pennant
' next year if baseball is resumed and the
■ recommendations agreed on at a meeting,
i of the National Bai ehall Commission here
, today are accepted by the American and
‘National Leagues at their annual meet
i Ing next month.
I The .-.ugge.'tion of a player limit of IS
i men for the major leagues is in line with I
the retrenchment believed necessary with?
! the process of recontrsuction, both in the
.-port and management of the games.
' j Lowering the player limit from 25 to IS
1 men will mean the elimination of "spo-
• (i.Gists" and the employment of more
, ad around players.
i The commission decided to inflict se
! vere fines on three members of the
world’s championship Boston club for
playing exhibition games through the
east after the world’s series with a team
. advertised as the Boston Red Sox. Amos j
, Strunk, Joe Bush and Waiter Schang
were the players declared to be guilty of
the practice. The decision to withhold
the u-ual world’s series championship
emblems from the Boston players be
cause of the part they played in the
worid’s scries “strike” was reaffirmed.
