The playing talent of the Alfierl
can gridiron has been transferred
from the college campus to the train
ing fields and while the various insti
tutions of learning are trying to turn
out something from relatively notn
ing, the soldier and saftor units
throughout the country have organ
ized elevens that would worthily repre
sent the best universities in normal
times.
‘'To see football as it should be
played, go to the training camp
games" has come to be fairly well
recognized as being an accurate sum
ming up of the conditions. It is the
meanest approach that ever has exist
ed of selections for an '‘all-sectional’'
team actually getting together on a
regularly organized team. The foot
ball team of a naval unit located near
San 'Francisco has the pick of the
Pacific coast teams playing together
and they have won all their games
thus far by overwhelming margins.

“General, I think what all the me

j AMERICAN FIELD HEADQUAR
lt' TERS, France, Oct. 19. — A Mexican
war song, with a genuine Spanish lilt,
which our troops swiped from the
Mexicans during the Pershing expe
8' dition, now seems to be the best bet
as the “Tipperary” of the Sammies.
Sung in Spanish, the obscenity of
"s the words mean nothing to the major
_ ity ot the Sammies, so the tune now
float:-, through the valleys during the
evening singing bees without offend
ing anyone.
The tune is such a unanimous hit
v ith the camps that it would be worth
Irving Berlin’s tims to write Ameri
can words to fit it—preferably some
thing about the kaiser.
Carranzista soldiers had a version
which they sang against the Villstas,
and the Vilistas came back with an
other version to fit the Carranzistas.
The tune is known to hundreds of vet
eran American regulars.
