TO TID OUT THE I OF CMMIO TITLE Conference of Units' Athletic Oi 1 rectors to Consider ways or Settling Bitter Disputes. I: ' * ? Among: the subjeets to be discussed at the conference Tuesday between jfeMajor Cole, camp athletic director, and the athletic directors of the various T. M. C. A. organizations, will be the much-tangled Camp Greene football championship, it was learned ycs. terday. The seventh infantry and the [.ft; fifty-ninth Infantry are to play New Year's afternoon "to decide the winner of the camp football title." Questioning the accuracy of the claims of J these two regiments Is the thirteenth field artillery's football team. This regiment only recently arrived at this camp and the thirteenth's eleven has ; not played here, but it claims the Texas-Mexico border army championship. The athletic directors coaching the <?_ teams of the seventh, thirty-ninth and flfty-ninth infantry regiments nave ior more than a month advanced the > claims of their teams for this title. Much argument h".s been in progress as to which has a valid claim, and - further, whether each should accept challenges from certain other regi^ ments and from either of the other two named, thereby perhaps tacitly admitting the prospective opponents' right to play for the title. The whole matter is such that a rather tense situation has developed, and It may be that the camp athletic director has been called upon to sit as Judge during the threshing out of details, respective rights of various accepted contenders and others claiming to be yet In the running. Other matters which probably will >,? taken un at the conference of ath L letlc directors Tuesday morning are the opening of the championship race > of the newly organised inter-regi mental basketball league aim - ?? -1 cross-country race for soldiers which P Is planned to be run January 12. OPENING HOSTESS HOUSE INDEFINITELY DELAYED ..l. -a r- I ..J C.irnkfira Pro. LaUK OI ruoi OIIU I Uimunu . .V 5^" vents Newest Camp Recrea1 tional Building From Begin jK.' ning Its Service. "With the secretarial staff assembled, one member of the six excepted, v and everything else In readiness but the delivery of fuel and the arrival of a shipment of furniture, the opening of the Y. W. C. A- hostess house at Camp Greene is still indefinitely Sfe, postponed. As fuel is difficult tq obtain, and all freight is delayed, it Is impossible to predict when the proposed beneficiaries of the hostess house will be able to enjoy its special privileges. The women relatives of soldiers ana their friends of the city are growing impatient at the delay, which is unavoidable, as they have anticipated for some time the pleasure and convenience of meeting their husbands, sons and brothers oftener at the camp. Although the special intent of the hostess house Is to serve the women, it is also open for the reception of soldiers, who will doubtless welcome the opening there of an up-to-date cafeteria which will be (?.- operated at the hostess house. The national board of the T. W. C. A. has sent a group of carefully selected women who were among the wark work volunteers this summer. They are to preside as hostesses and make the house as attractive and inviting as a home. They will give information to strangers and co-operate in every possible way with soldiers and their women relatives in -> making their stay in Charlotte pleas ant. The hostesses are Mrs. Mary Pinkhara, of Boston; Mrs. Anna B. Turney, of New York; Mrs. N. G. Gonzales, of Columbia, 8. C.; Mrs. Delia Gilbert of New York; Miss Rosamond Holmes, of New Jersey; Miss Evelyn Thomasson Greene, of Kansas. All the hostesses are here with the exception of Mrs. Gonzales. A local committee of the Y. W. C. A. has for chairman Mrs. R. A. Dunn, who has thus far selected the following ladies to assist her: Mesdames Latta Johnson, Charles Dalton, A. B. Reese. B. J. Witherspoon, Lewis Burwell, H. M. Victor, Galloway. Others will j>o nanfed later. SEX HYGIENE LECTURER TO VISIT CAMP GREENE Dr. A. M. Traywick, a widely known lecturer on sex hygiene, will visit Camp Greene during the week beginning January 12. He comes under auspices of the T. M. C.~ A. war work council and from T. M. C. A. sources It. was learned that he will visit each I E C A. building mt the camp and "perhaps will apeak.to men especially i detailed to hear his discussions" EDUCATIONAL WORK AT\\ CAMP ADVANCES FAST Camp Secretary Grogan Returns Soon ? Numerous Shifts Among Y. M. C. A. Secretaries at Camp Greene. namn Rsoretsrv T r> Rrnnn. fit the Army Y. M. C. A., who returned to Atlanta several days ago to complete details Incident' to his transfer here from Camp Gordon, Is expected to return within a few days and assume active charge of the Y. M. C. A. work at Camp Greene. While In Atlanta, Secretary Grogan will confer with the Y. M. C. A. board having headquarters in that city with reference to the construction of additional Y. M. C. A. buildings here. Educational work of the Y. II. C. A. among the soldiers has made rapid advancement In organization and accomplishments during the past few weeks, and about one hundred classes have been organized or rejuvenated, most of which are teaching French to TCnirllah sneaking soldiers or English to those foreign-born recruits who 1 have not acquired our language. Athletic activities of the Y. M. C. A. during the month have been curtailed by the prolonged bad weather. The men engaged in various Indoor athletics, but out-door competitions generally have been impossible. The assignments of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries at this camp are being changed, preparatory to the expected arrival of several new secretaries. Secretary George E. Day, who since the departure of Camp Secretary; I Hawkins over two months ago, has been acting camp secretary, has been transferred to Fort McPheraon, Atlanta, where he will be camp secretary. Secretary R. E. Cooper, who , has been camp secretary material, 1 has been named secretary in charge of Y. M. *C. A. work at the ride range. R. V. C. Smith has been designated camp business secretary, succeeding I F. M. Burnett, who Became secretary i In charge of Building 104.

"V COMEDY AND ATHLETICS j KEEP CRONIN ON JUMP First Connecticut Private "Mixed Up" in All of Regiments' Recreational Activities. Since the arrival here of his regiment about two months ago. Private J. Cronin, of the flrst Connecticut infantry, has been a very busy man because of his ability in various lines of useful or amusing endeavor. As an athlete, he is mentioned in the line-up of all the regimental teams. His abil-; into the limelight at regimental and Y. M. C. A. entertainments. As his i friends in the first Connecticut tell It, Cronin is "mixed up" in everything J the regiment does. The writer has seen Cronin once,; and his identity was not divulged un- , til after he had departed. It then was recalled to mind that the private I who probably is close to the top in the I popularity class of the first Connecticut appeared very little different from most of the other privates at Camp Greene?except he is tall and the fellows listened respectfully to what he said. Reports of Cronin's latest activities include his public appearances during Christmas. In the Christmas Day 1 was the team or g member of the team ' which won 14 of the 15 points credited to his regiment During that meet he. participated in four events, thi 1 sack race, centipede race. three-leKPrace and the relay race. At the , Christmas celebration within his regi-: ment, Cronin provided a large slice of the comedy, the boys reported. | He is a willing worker.
