...hard game against the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery team Saturday necessitated a brief and light practice yesterday. Coach Rollins gave his squad a long black-board talk, illustrating the weak points and mistakes of Saturday.

After the return of the third battalion from Wake-field combat exercises will be held on this reproduced section of the French front, and later, following the principles of training used in the Allied armies, each battalion will occupy the section for a short period...
...think Germany is to be frightened to weak-kneed terror by some bugaboo of a submarine destroyer? Do we think she will yield to old-womanish fears, and flee in terror from Belgium, when she hears that America is about to set forth to wither her enemies? If words could move Germany, our words would have done so. Words cannot move Germany. She has not a fear of our prowess equal to our confidence...
