“‘Buck Privates” Would Have “Dugouts” Everywhere
IN THE long night watches on the firing line or in hospitals or rest billets,
our fighting men found that ternpus failed to fugit with its customary
alacrity. They yearned for amusement. To be sure, there were various
patriotic organizations catering to the
social instinct, but somehow they did
not satisfy. So one day there sprung
into being the Buck I’rivate society.
Its success was instantaneous.
Originally organized in the Sixth
United States field artillery of the
First division, which artillery regi
ment, by the way, fired the first Amer
ican shot in the war, the Buck Pri
vates’ society soon numbered thou
sands of members in every branch of
the service. There was no formality
of initiation. The only qualification was that you had to be an overseas buck
private.
In order that the society may become a permanent institution the charter
members, now discharged, are beginning a campaign for organization. The
original overseas organizer. Private Paul F. Collins, Battery D, Sixth field
artillery, lives in Los Angeles. He is president and chief buck private.
But one of his comrades, First Sergeant Edward M. McGuire, opened
headquarters the other day in Chicago as national field representative. .
“The Buck Privates’ society in no way conflicts with the American
Legion,” Sergeant McGuire said. “In fact, I might say one of its aims is that
of co-operation with the legion. There is no question that it will be the means
of strengthening that body. \\ e hope to establish a dugout in Chicago with a
membership of at least 50,000 men.'’
As its platform the society has adopted these planks: Broader educational
work; cleaner politics; compulsory schooling for all boys under sixteen in
order to make bigger and better Americans, and active study of conditions in
industry, commerce and labor.

POPULAR GAME
AT COLLEGES
MOSCOW, Idaho, Oct. 30.—1The Uni
versity of Idaho’s tentative back field
line-up has been completely upset by
injuries recently sustained by four of
the most promising men on the squad.
Ralph Breshears of Caldwell, quar
terback and captain, is suffering from
a badly strained right arm; ‘‘Turk’’
Gerlough, veteran back and former
star of the Thirteenth division team,
has been crippled by a well-developed
“charley-horse”; Roy Thompson of
Boise, fullback, has a wrenched knee,
and Neil Irving of RupePt is on the
side-lines with a severely bruised hip.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Oct. 30 —
Only two varsity letter veterans
turned out in answer to the football
call at Whitman College here this
year. The other members of the
squad were freshmen or new upper
class students. Coach Borkeske, how
ever, is bending every effort to build
a fast team around Marvin Wiley and
Leonard Garver, the two old players.
Whitman’s big game this year was
the Pacific oast Conference con
test against the University of Wash
ington at Seattle October 25. Gon
zaga University of Spokane and the
University of Idaho are also sched
uled for games here.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 30.—
Although not in the Rocky Mountain
Conference, the Mormon schools of
Utah will enter football again this year
and what games they may play with
the University of Utah and Utah Agri
cultural College teams promise to be
hard-fought. This is the first time
for fifteen years that the Mormon
schools have been permitted to play
football, thfe game having been stopped
because of its roughness. Brigham
Young University at Provo and Brig
ham Young College at Logan will put
teams in the field this year, and it is
likely that a team at the Latter Day
Saints’ college here wil make its ap
pearance.

SCOUTS AID SERVICE MEN.
The boy scouts troops of Pasadena,
Cal., have been canvassing the busi
ness and commercial firms of thei
city to compile a roll of honor of the
concerns which have given JobR to re
turned soldiers, sailors and marines.
The canvass Is not simply a local en
terprise, but the scouts are making
the compilation at the request of
the government. Tallman H. Trask,
scout commissioner for the Pasadena
scout troops, has received a request
from Washington for the information
and a request for the scouts to as
semble it. Mr. Trask says the Parfh
dena scouts will lose-no time in ob
taining the Information.
It Is believed that the canvass will
show that every soldier and sailor who
went from Pasadena got his position
back on his return if he wanted It,
and that in addition many other re
turned service men have been placed
there.
WHAT THE 8COUT8 DO.
A drive for lemons to furnish re
freshment for soldiers passing through
Dennison and Uhrichsville, Ohio, is be
ing made by Boy Scouts. Every home
is expected to furnish a lemon or its
equivalent in money.
Boy Scouts of Troop No. 1, Medford,
N. Y., while engaged in a game of
baseball were called upon by the scout
master, Hal B. Fullerton, to search for
a lost girl. They immediately quit the
game and hot-footed it over the woods
where the girl had gone.
