' First New Hampshire Beats First
Vermont?Fifth Massachusetts
Wins From Base Hospital.
A real rough and tumble game of
basketball, In which the scalps of the
contending players were not handled
with care, was staged at the Y. M.
C. A. last night, when the First New
l Hampshire team trounced the First
Vermont quint, the score being 25 to
11. In a less hostile game the Fifth
Massachusetts beat the base hospital
quint by a score of 24 to 12.
It seems that there has been a
grudge, or a misunderstanding, between
the New Hampshire and Ver
mont quints for a long time past, so
when they met last night It was evidently
with a determination to settle
this dispute, or to wreak vengeance
one upon the other. However, the
damage was slight and witnesses contend
that the continuous scrapping
between the quints made the game all
the more interesting. The line-up for
the New Hampshire-Vermont battle
?*i- follows:
First New Hampshire. First Vermont
Darrengone.... R. F Bardella
Presclll-Holton. .L. F Dunleavy

HOMESICK AND TEMPTATION.
It's tough when you axe homesick
|&ipl??-a strange and distant place
It's tough when temptation
Stares you in the face
And you long for the home folks
And the joys you use to know;
gf.' When you are miles away from
friendship
?r?. It's a bitter sort of woe,
But it's tougher, let me tell you,
; When you sit and think of mother,
, - Who is miles away from you,
You think of what she told you
When you went away from home
? To enlist in the army
And to fight your way alone.
&V You think of how she kissed you
" -T"?' before vou said "Good-bye,"
For you know her heart was broken; |
Then you almost want to cry. .
And you think about your sweetheart?
i;" Oh, that girl you love so dear? |
To be with her and your mother once
more
p." Would fill your heart with cheer. I
. And while you sit there linking,
On your army bed so fine.
Don't forget mother Is also thinking
Of her boy who stepped in line.
She thinks of him in the morning, 1
She speaks of him through the day;
She prays for him in the evening
That he will not be led astray.
She knows the world Is full of temptation
< ': Wiiich destroys the lire or many a
man,
So she prays for her boy in uniform
To cast them aside?for he can.
& So boys, when you are fonesome
gv" And feeling rather blue.
Just turn your thoughts to mother
She's praying at home for you.
Go to churph on Sunday
Spend your evening at the "Y,"
Then you can cast aside temptation,
It you only will Just try.

We are all very glad indeed to see
Wagstaff back in ranks again.
Cook Dyer has returned from a pass,
and we are glad to note that he is as
full of ambition as ever. Come on,
now, let's have the eats.
The other night one of the officer's
tents caught nre, and in an attempt to
put it out Dan Cremmens took a buck
et flfty-flfty with water and coffee
grounds, and threw it on?one of the
lieutenants who was also fighting the
lire. Of course it goes without saying
that he was greatly excited.
The first squad is sure there when it
comes to economy. Who but that
bunch would ever thought of lighting
a nre to keep warm r
"Melendy" Is incinerator orderly this |
week and George M. Cohen Shannon i
is rear admiral. Between them they
git-, seem to keep happy.
- There is not very much left of Company

Our good friend, Ivey, has gone to

the best ever.

SHOWING INTEREST IN
SHORT STORY CONTEST
One can always bajik on the wearers
of the red hat-bands growing
genuinely Interested in things really
worth while. Since the announce- j
ment appeared In last week's Trench
and Camp that three cups would be
given for the best short story written
by soldiers at Camp Greene, the
men of the artillery regiments have
been talking quietly, making inquiries
and priming themselves for a fight
that promises to be truly an interesting
one. Already the names of five
men have been given the educational
secretary and those men are at
work. All outfits at Camp ureeno
are respectfully asked to take notice
that It la the purpose and intention
to win and keep forever at least two
of those cups for the glory satisfaction
and general edification of the
artillerymen." Understand that when
these men make up their minds
they're made up and their reputation
"for putting things across" is well
known. , , , , A
There is quite a deal of talent
among the men of the Seventy-seventh,
thirteenth and sixteenth, F. A.
A number of old newspaper men have
been located in these outfits and several
men who have done writing of
a high grade at various times. So
those who anticipate entering this
contest are warned by the handlers of
the "big guns" that some real lir

MY COUGH.
(By Corporal J. W. Newklrk, Company
B, Eleventh Machine Gun
Battalion.)
I have a cough, a faithful cough.
It sure does stick to me.
I never had a pal so true.
Or bne so lastingly.
Where'er I go, I'm not alone?
It's funny as can be.
I'm all the time reminded
That my cough is still with me.
There's coughs that are good-natured,
And some of them are mean.
But none will ever beat the cough
That I got at Camp Greene.
This cough is sure harmonious.
It's full of melody.
It ranges from bass to tenor ,
And never skips a key.
At times my cough is modest ,
It's them I'm sure to know.
My cough don't want to finish me )
And is therefore lying low. ,
But in about a minute.
When I think my cough's no more. ,
It tickles mv vocal organs. ,
And I simply wheeze and roaf. ,
But some time I will lose my cough? (
This cough of mine so true. ]
The friend that never left me
And stuck to me all through. ,
And when the spring will come ,
around i
And the cough and I will part. t
It's apt to leave me healthier, ,
But with a broken heart. ,

NEW METHOD FOR
TEACHING SOLDIERS
Dr. Peter Roberts of the industrial
department, international committee
Y. M. C. A., recently visited Camp
Greene. Dr. Roberts is the author
of the Roberts' method of teaching
English to foreigners and is the first
man in the country to undertake the
solution of this problem. The value
and soundness of his method has been
demonstrated in the ten years It has
been used. During his visit he gave
demonstration lectures before a great
many of the officers, teachers, and
stuaenis wno nave oeen uciancu iui
English work. As a result of his
talks educational supervisors and
teachers received considerable inspiration
and stimulus for their work.
Dr. Roberts has devised a new
method for teaching Americans, who
speak but cannot read or write English.
He discussed the principles and
demonstrated before officers and
teachers this method. It is the plan
to use this course for the illiterates
at Camp Greene.
MACHINE GUN CO. 58th INFANTRY
Everything is so well in the Machine

for the regiment. Colonel Wahl says
the boys are getting good hearted
these days.
Private James Dolan went on a fiveday
pass the other day. It came about

Private Speck has also been made
a first-class private. It is reported
that he is losing some sleep over the
matter. At any rate it is a known
fact that he has already informed his
