From the Boys In Kansas.
‘“Camp Funston, Kan., Sept. 30.
The football season opened in Camp
Funston yesterday in a game between
Companys E and F. The opening was
especially significant to the Holt
county boys because “Cheese” Conk
lin carried the ball over for the first
and only touchdown of the game.
The teams were by no means sec
ond class. In Company E there were
several university foot ball men.
Among them were Frank Prince, all
state tackle of Hasting College, Cecil
Laverty an old Nebraska Wesleyan
foot ball star and other equally
famous. No less spectacular than
the playing of these veterans was
that of “Cheese” and “Kelly.” The
game was refereed by Major Kistler,
one of Yales most famous foot ball
men. All lines of rank dissapeared
when the game started and officers
and men joined in wild cheers as they
urged their respective teams on to
cross the goal. The old fighting spirit
flamed up in the Major’s face as the
teams surged back and forth across
the gridiron. Then in the last few
minutes Prince shot a beautiful for
ward pass to “Cheese” who broke
through all interference and went
for the winning goal.
Athletics are in the camp to stay.
Every morning and afternoon a half
hour period is devoted to games. Cap
tain Symes, an old Yale man, at the
institution of the play periods, said,
“We want to give the men sofhething
to break the monotony of military
drill. We want them to forget work
during this period and let themselves
out in play.” He went on to say that
he was strongly in favor of athletics,
which tended to put the men m
physical fitness. The boys surely take
advantage of this period and all kinds
of races are pulled off. Wrestling,
leap-frog, foot ball and everything to
test the muscles.
The supervision of Camp Funston
is a splendid tribute to Americanism.
Everything is being done to make the
life here pleasant and to give the men
clean, wholesome entertainment;
something to occupy their spare mo
ments and at the same time give them
recreation. Some of these are lyceum
entertainments, swimming pools,
theaters, billiard ^tables and many
other things. The Y. M. C. A. is
doing much for the boys away from
home. Each regiment has one. In
fact everything is being done to com
bat the popular conception that army
life is on a lower moral and mental
plane than civilian life, and its cer
tainly succeeding.
Thursday it rained and the barracks
of Company E took on the aspect of
a Krupp gun factory. So far the boys
have had no rifles to practice with so
for bayonet drills all the men in our
company made wooden imitations, and
mighty good ones too. The company
made quite a military appearance when
marching to the parade grounds with
one hundred and fifty wooden guns
and bayonets attached.
“Cheese” Conklin, “Kelly” Martin
and Joseph Launders, of the first Holt
county quota, have been promoted to
corporals. This is quite a responsi
bility as they have a guard of eight
men under them. It is the duty of the
corporals to watch the men around the
barracks, to see that they are neat in
appearance, that they are punctual at
calls and in fact responsible for their
military conduct. The corporals are
also drilling their squads on the
parade grounds in the school of the
soldier and the school of the squad.
All the boys are looking forward
with great anticipation to the next
foot ball game. Company F, under the
guidance of Gordon Beck, famous ex
Cornhusker foot ball star, is deter
mined to clean Company E, but our
boys have it doped out to the contrary.

Leave For Camp Funston Sunday.
Next Sunday morning the third in
stallment of Holt county’s quota of
the national army will leave this city
for the training camp at Camp Fun
ston, Kansas. The men are ordered
to report to the local board at 6
o’clock next Saturday afternoon.
The boys will be entertained by the
citizens of this city next Saturday
evening. They will be served a ban
quet at the Golden Hotel, and the
popular management will spread
itself to make this one of the best
feeds ever served at this popular
hostelry. After the banquet the
soldiers will march to the opera house
where a patriotic meeting will be held.
S. J. Weekes will preside at this
meeting and the address of the even
ing will be delivered by Mayor E. H.
Whelan. Besides the speaking there

Band, which has been secured for the
