This is optional with the schools involved. A few independent "grid" teams also can perform, as they usually play in some open lot minus spectators. Sunday's semipro baseball schedule will be wiped out completely. This particular sport depends entirely on the 'gate,' the players drawing their pay only when a game is played. As no semipro magnate thinks enough of the game to play when the box office is not doing business, it means there will be nothing doing. Billiards and bowling have not yet been placed under the ban.

The Chicago-Great Lakes football game, scheduled for tomorrow on Stagg field, and all preparatory school games.

were ordered canceled yesterday by the joint board of health. When athletic officials at Great Lakes heard of the action, efforts were made to induce the Maroons to play the game at the station. Athletic Director Stagg refused to take his squad to the station's athletic field after consulting members of the health board, who advised against it. Stagg- Playing' Suf. The Midway mentor recently said his main reason for not meeting the blueJackets on their own athletic field was tho fear that some of his players may contract Spanish influenza. If the epidemic spread on the Maroon campus, Stagg would be blamed. With the game called off Stagg will have a good opportunity to put his revamped squad through a much needed scrimmage drill. With the cancellation of the MaroonGreat Lakes game and the annual clash between Michigan and Michigan Aggies, no games of note will be played in the west unless the naval reserve school is permitted to play Notre Dame on the latter's field.

FINALLY GETTING IT

Jack Kedzie, who caught for Yale's baseball team in 1893, and could have broken into the big leagues if he had desired to, is at last getting the excitement his restless spirit always asked

he is at the head of a Y. M. C. A. unit in France, and has been given credit for his rescue of many French children from a burning, shell-swept village. Kedzie's life would make quite a romance. He was, as already remarked, a great ball player at Yale, and had to turn down major league offers on account of his large business interests at home Evanston, 111. For more than twenty years he went along in a business track, always sighing for adventure, never having the least show to get any till the chance "over there" was offered. Then the wealthy Mr. Kedzie shut up shop, hastened to Franco and at the age of forty-seven is having a glorious time.

CURIOUS

GOBS START GRID LEAGUE GREAT LAKES. ILL.. Oct. 18. The fifteen-team regimental football league opened yesterday afternoon with Jimmy Conzelman's hospital school eleven trimming the Signal school, 19 to 0, and the Twelfth winning from the Fifth, 12 to 0. Two games will be played daily except on holidays.

Cupid Black, a former all-American guard and member of the Tale football team in 1916. is said to be a prisoner of war, according to a telegraph story. The big athlete, who is an ensign in the navy, was aboard an auxiliary cruiser crossing the Atlantic some tinv; ago. when a U-boat sprang up suddenly directly in front of the auxiliary. Black, the junior officer, was on deck when the submarine commander boarded the ship and demanded Its immediate surrender. The boche spoke such perfect Knglish that Black began to converse with him. "I don't want to talk to you, Mr. Black," the Teuton officer declared. "I, want to see your captain. Where is he?" Cupid was naturally surprised to hear the submarine commander call him by his family name and very meekly asked how it happened that he knew it. "I ought to know you, if any one

does," answered the officer. "I played I opposite you on a Harvard team." Then something happened. Black, together with two others, was ordered 1

aboard the submarine. An American destroyer was then sighted, and without attempting to destroy its prey tho Uboat dived, with Cupid still aboard.
