Purple Deserves Credit for
Tie With Great Lakes
Sailors.
Northwestern 's wonderful showing
ncralnst the Great Lakes, which was
held to a scoreless tie. the defeats of
Illinois mid Wisconsin by service elev
ens, and the victory of tha United
States Marines of 1'hiladelpliia over
Pennsylvania, 7 to 0. featured Satur
day's football struggles.
Th (r.itifs further advanced the pre
diction that the best football to be pHv
ed this year will be by th" service
team. Thes" elevens a.r so strong that
it is no lonrrer a dist-race for a college
t'.nn to be beaten by a sailor or soldier
aftiTrfKation. The service teams are
omposed of so many well. known ex-C'dk-KC
. stars that the result is inevit
able. Purple Deserves Great Credit.
For this reason Northwestern de
serves credit for playii-." the strong
Great Lake"! train to a standstill. It
was unfortunate that the (tame bad to

Dear Moth.-r t d Father;
I nm very ;..rry 1 did not write as
soon as I landed but things were so
different than in th" States. We have
moved mi-re over here i,u two we-ks
than wo would in six months In the
States. We sure were delighted when
we sighted land on our way over. The
French have made a big sacrif.ee. I
have seen women and voung ladies
wearing mourning for their loved ones
who fell on the battlefield that the com
ing geriertaiou may live jn peace with
the vvoi Id. 1 have bad the opportunity
of speaking to many boys who have re
turned from the front partially or total
ly wounded. They praise the Yankees
for their bravery and ski!! in tightimr.
They ray the Americans ate pushing
the bodies back at such terrific speed
that the German generals are realizing
that the hanlfu' cf Americans grew to
lie an enormous amount over night. Ac
cording to the French the Americans
will break them before, spring.
We are fed good and have a good
place to sleep. I have bad the pleasure
of riding in the French cattle cars, as
Walter i ailed them in his letter. We
have canteen .service here so we can
have sweets and smoking. We are is
sued Pull Durham dve-ry week so we
always have smoking on ban.J. The F.
S. A. is feeding and dress ng their sol
diers the best in the world. I have
ateii French bread but will take our
white bread in preference every time.
They raise an enormous amount of
grapes of which they make wine from.

tune but do not think arty thing ir-,
