IMAM'S HEROISM
11 TOLD BY FRIEND
Corporal Habb, Member of Sumo
Company a* Lieutenant lloyd
H Maynard, Relates Graphic
Story
.Just returned from an officers'
(ruining school in France, garbed In
, new uniform, and with only meagre
'equipment, Lieutenant Boyd May
nard refused to heed the pleadings of
his captain to remain behind, but
went over the top with his men In the
great battle of Chatteau Thierry and
died a hero's death. A vivid word
picture of the heroism and devotion
of the Pullman man, the son of Mr.
»nd Mrs. Charles Maynard, was un
folded Tuesday evening by Corporal
Babb, a member of the same com
pany as Maynard, the 84th company;
{th regiment of Marines, who ad
dressed a crowd-aOf nearly 1000 In
the college auditorium. Closely as
--dated with Lieutenant Maynard
(or several months, Corporal Babb
held a friendship for the Pullman
hero that knew no hounds, and he
ns palpably at an emotional disad
vantage as he spoke of Lieutenant
Maynard and his heroism in* the same
building and from the same rostrum
iwith which his superior officer and
'company friend had been so closely
tsjociated during his college career.
Corporal Babb, a native of Chi
cago, first met Lieutenant Maynard
at Quantico, Va., and they crossed
the Atlantic on the same transport.
The two became fast friends, and this
friendship increased with each suc
ceeding day. On Christmas day, at
Bordeaux, the two played on the
tame football team, representing the
Ith regiment, Lieutenant Maynard
being captain and quarterback of the
eleven.-
They went Into the trenches -to
gether, bore the same hardships and
shared the same happiness. In the
battle of Verdun, on April 21, Cor
poral Babb was seriously wounded,
suffering nearly a dozen shrapnel
wounds, which resulted in the pa
ralysis of his right arm and other
permanent disabilities. As he was
placed aboard the ambulance to be
taken to the base hospital, the last
fords he heard came from Lieuten
ant Maynard, and were "Good luck,
Babb."
Soon after the serious wounding

BIG SQUAD REPORTS
FOR FOOTBALL WORK
Pour Teams to lie Organized for
Intercompany Contests—Varsity
Team Later
Pullman fans are assured of at
least one intercollegiate football
game this fall as the result of action
taken by the athletic council .Satur
day, when two games with Idaho
University were sanctioned and a
Thank-giving day date with Oregon
Agricultural College was accepted, to
be played in Protland, Ore. A
provision was attached to the O. A.
C. game, however, that In caso the
army officials do not observe Thanks
giving day as a full holiday the game
will be played the Saturday previous.
Another game will probably he sched
uled with Qontaga.
The decision of the athletic council
to turn out a football team is the re
sult of a desire on the part of army
and college officials to give the stu
dent-soldiers every opportunity to
take part in athletics. Every man
who desires to turn out will be put
through tho paces and the company
rivalry will make possible the par
ticipation in actual games of a maxi
mum number of men.
Nearly 100 husky soldier-students
responded to Athletic Director J. P.
Holt let's first call for football candi
dates Tuesday and it is expected that
the squad will be even larger before
the week ends. To take care of the
small army of candidates Director
Bohler has selected men to coach the
candidates for each of the three
teams to be organized among the S.
A. T. C. and the fourth team, to In
clude only students who are not
members of the army organization.
George and Jenne, both members of
last year's freshman team, will round
the Company A men into shape,
while Schroeder and Mclvor will
show the Company B men how to
play the game. The Company C as
pirants will be under the tutelage of
Kotula and Benson, both of whom
have had experience under Coach
Lonstar Dietz, while Brandt, a mem
ber of the varsity squad last year,
will have charge of the "outsiders."
Bach of the four teams to be or
ganized will play one game each
week, under the schedule prepared
by Director Bohler, the first contest
being scheduled for Saturday, Oc
tober 19. At the conclusion of the
Intercompany series, the men who
have shown the greatest promise will
comprise the "varsity" squad, when
games with outside teams, including
Idaho and 0. A. C, will be played.
Many of the candidates for the
four teams of the "league" have had
considerable high school experience,
and a series of exciting and close
intercompany games is expected.

few farmers with grain not yet
threshed, although the big percent
age of the 1918 crop is safely In the

acres of barley and wheat yet to com
bine, while several other farmers
