Militia Notes From The Indianapolis Star.

When the mercury fell, football immediately became the pastime during the idle moments following mess call. A number of troops from Company M are planning on organizing an eleven if the weather continues to be cool. Quartermaster Pete Morgan, of Company M, who played with the Butler college team in 1911 and 1912, came near being the first football victim of the “season.” While he was punting he slipped and fell heavily to the ground. Morgan showed the old spirit, however, and after looking himself over decided that he was not badly hurt.
