2 S THE OMAHA SUNDAf BEE: JULY 8, 1917. YOST MUST BUILD ENTIREHEW TEAM War Takes Stars, So Michigan Coach Finds Himself With Only Green Men for Eleven. Ann Arbor, Mich., July 7. Coach Fielding H. Yost of the Michigan foot ball eleven again faces the task of molding a champion gridiron team from green material. When war wiped athletics from the slate at Michigan this spring preliminary foot ball prac tice was curtailed by Yost and he dis missed the squad, saying no foot ball would be played here in the fall should the war continue. Second judgment has moved a vote for reinstatement, and Yost will be asked to turn out a team again next fall, a team that will be composed for the most part of 8,"" material. Captain Pat Smith of Bay Cuy. Phil Ravmond of Saginaw, and Eggie Hifdner of Ann Arbor, the probable back field for next year, are at the Great Lakes Training station. Several others of last year's squad are on farms or in ambulance work. Seven of last year's team have been gradu- tCt Good Freshman Material. Should freshment be allowed to play Michigan will have an opportunity to try out several prep school stars who are highly touted. Earl Brooks, who -won four letters in foot ball, base ball, basket ball, and track at Arthur Hill (Saginaw) high, will come to Michi gan next fall, and a man named Reed of St Louis, Mo., touted as the great est half back turned out in Missouri, also will enter. ' . It is likely the proposed game with Northwestern, which would open con ference relations for Michigan, will not be scheduled. There was much talk of this game, but evidently it has fallen through, as Yost intimated Michigan's present schedule is heavy . enough for a young team. New Athletic Board. A new board in control of athletics has been named, but consists tor the most part of former members. Ine members are Dr. Reuben Peterson and Profs.

' m BOXING IS AID TO TOMMIES IN FIELD Proves of Great Benefit to Sol diers Being Trained in Can ada and Australia, Says Officer. Boxing has proved of great benefit to the soldiers beinc trained in Cana da, Australia and other parts of the British empire for the world war, ac cording to Colonel H. G. Mayes of the Canadia.. troops, who is director of physical and bayonet training of the colonial troops now in England and France. In order to help matters along Colonel Mayes arranged boxing tournaments tor the soldiers in ail the camps and stated that they were authorized and encouraged by the offi cials. Colonel Maves was himself an ath lete in Canada and has given all his men the benefit of his teachings in that direction. The London Sporting Life sent a man to watch the work of the Canadian troops and to see what results were obtained from the ath letic end of the training. Knowledge of Sport Helps. The Sporting Life representative said: "It is remarkable what hold Colonel Mayes has on the men through his knowledge of sports and the splendid training he gives them aside from the regular military drill ing. "He makes it a pleasure for the man. and the boxing tournaments have been wonderfully good and well attended. Of course, there are those who oppose this, as they oppose everything which they are pleased to describe as brutal and degrading. There has not been so much of this talk of late, but it is illuminating that the ranks of conscientious objectors are recruited almost exclusively from the milk and water faddists who would make it a criminal offense for men to put on the gloves and give boxing displays in public. Grateful for Boxing. "We have reason to be grateful to boxing for the righting spirit that has developed in the British troops this Patriotic Golf Tourney At Manawa Big Success A large number of golfers turned! out at Manawa on the Fourth to take part in the patriotic tournament. Over $50 was collected. The flag race was a feature of the day's play. The race was won by Billy Rigdon, who placed his flag in the first hole on the second round.

The plant was made up ot a,uuu large-mouth and 5.000 small-mouth black bass, and has been forthcom ing for a couple of years. Albert Edholm was instrumental in securing the fish. 0. B.

The hit-and-run game was ordered. Holke did his part by smashing a wicked grounder over third base for a double. At the same time Kauff dug out for second. As he was about to slide for the bag Benny heard a warning shout from Miller the Cardinals second baseman: "Grab that foul fly, Smithy, old boy!" As Miller and Hornsby were both gazing apparently with the most in. tense interest skyward, Benny in his innocent little heart took for granted that Miller meant what he said and was doing. Benny, having the great est faith in the honest intentions of professional base ball players, imme diately put on brakes and then, when he could get started on the back track, scurried like a scared jack rabbit on his return to first. As he neared that base Holke sud denly loomed up in front of him in a horrible frenzy of agitation, waving his arms and yelling, go back; go back: you will spoil my two bagget and I need itl" Benny backtracked again, but too late, and he was nabbed, Cruise to Miller to Hornsby, . . i . i ? . i wno naa aiso nornea in on ine case attempt to make Benny look foolish.

First Jap Ship Armed Is Submarine Victim (Corrssoondsnc of The Associated Press.) Yokohama,- July 5. The Nippon Yusen Kaisha steamer Miyazak: Maru, Yokohama for London, which was sunk by a German submarine in the English channel last month was the first Japanese merchantman to receive defensive armament. It carried one six-inch gun, in charge of four naval non-commissioned officers. The Miyazaki Maru is the nine teenth steamer of Japanese ownership to he sunk bv submarines. The company carried about $3,250, 000 insurance on this vessel and its cargo. About 80 per cent of the insur ance will be retunded by the govern ment, in accordance with the war time insurance law. Cardinal Mercier Comes In for German Criticism (Corrssnondsnca of The Assoelatsd Prs.) Amsterdam. July 4. Cardinal Mer cier is again being violently attacked in the German newspapers because, it is alleged, he recently wrote a pas toral letter stating that "criminally violated rights must be restored, the guilty severely punished, and the re newal of such crimes made impossi ble." ( Must Have Special License In Sweden to Make Cheese (Corrsspondsne ef The Aesociatsd Prass.) Stockholm, Sweden, June 20. The making of cheese without a special license has been forbidden by the au thorities, who hope thus to make it possible to get enough butter and milk for the actual needs of the people Warning is issued to all but the older factories that they must prepare to restrict their production very sharply. Persistent Advertising is the Road to Success. . MAHAN ENLISTS IN MARINE CORPS Edward M.

' jT? j term, including all those contributed by the dominions overseas. It must not be forgotten that the essence of training soldiers for this war is that every officer, every noncommissioned officer and every man must be taught to fight as men have never fought be fore. It is a question of going for ward to kill or be killed, and doing so under stress of great mental ex citement. The fighting on the various fronts has revealed again and again that physical fitness and the develop ment of the fighting spirit are essen tial to success. "Courage is developed in man by his being trained to have the greatest confidence in his fighting weapon, and it would be just as absurd to send a man forward to fight an enemy with the bayonet unless he had complete confidence in his weapon as it would be to put an untrained man in the ring against a professional boxer trained to the hour." Rare Spectacle Shown In Chamber of Deputies (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Paris. July 5. The rare spectacle of the government and the most im portant committee of the Chamber of Deputies being together on the wrong side pf a vote in the chamber, was afforded the other day in the adop tion of an amendment to the law opening provisional credits for the third quarter of 1917. 1 The amendment provided for the increase of the appropriations of about 4,000,000 francs to permit pay ment of allowances to certain cate gories of wives of mobilized men that have heretofore been withheld for various reasons, the principal of which was that the women in question were not in need and the object of the war allowances was the relief of distress The amendment was adopted by a vote of 404 to 69. Nine members of the cabinet and a large proportion of the forty-four members of the com mittee of appropriations were among the sixty-nine. Albert Thomas, minister of muni tions, though absent, was. recorded as voting against. This apparent incon sistency arises from the old custom in the Chamber of Deputies permit ting absent members to delegate their vote either to the groups to which they belong or to colleagues. That custom also explains the great fre quency of rectifications of votes. Ab sent members having been recorded by colleagues as for or against pro positions and finding, after reflection that they -were on the wrong side, have this liberty of rectifying the vote. Committee imports are frequently rejected, but rarely, if ever, has it happened that the committee and the government in power have been at the same time on the losing side. in Come Monday With Every Suit Made To Your Measure A Sale That's Taken Omaha by Storm VOU know the value of an extra pair of trousers.
