The Central High school foot ball
team will go to Sioux Falls this eve
ning to play its first game of the sea
son off the home gridiron. The Da
kota lads hope to humble the Ne
braska state champs and are basing
their hopes on the comparative scores
made against Sioux City, although it
is six points less than the number
Central piled up. Central High fans,
however, can't see it that way and
expect the home team to return with
another scalp added to their long
string.
The bovs from the hill are in fine
condition, save for Turk Logan, who
has a pair of s'!k legs. It is not
definitely decided yet who will start
in his position. Arno Harper is still
ineligible. The team will arrive iri
Sioux Falls after a hard night's ride.
Sioux Falls has only two old men
in its lineup. It boasts of no wizards
at the game, and, according to reports
of previous encounters, its backfield
is entirely outclassed by ,tne umana
quartet. Lineup;

Joy Riding in Parachutes
Latest Sport at Fort Omaha
Parachuting has taken Fort Omaha
by storm. Everybody is "doing it"
there, or as many as can get permis
sion. Six officers took the jump yes
terday, three of them being marine
men. Ten marine officers were sent
to Fort Omaha last week for balloon
training.
Three men made the lump the dy
before. Altogether IS have buckled
their parachutes firmly td their backs
and stepped out from the basket 1,200
feet in the air.
At the front parachuting is often
the only way of saving an observer's
life. The balloonist is helpless, for
he carries no guns or ammunition, as
a rule. When the eflemy airplanes at
tack they must be driven off by the
defensive squad of aviators that pro
tect the balloon. If the hostile plane
gets through these and comes near
the balloon the balloonist must jump
for his life. This is common, and
half an hour later he may be up
again as if nothing had haooened.
Captain Robcn. United States ma'
nnes, suffered a broken ankle bone
