At any rate no one hu aald that Cantaln Wright's OX' perlenoes as an assistant secretary of the supreme war counoil made him write 1b a reverent mood about the great military chieftains. And yet he bestows almost unmeasured praise up on Foch. "Foch, when he came to Versailles," writes Captain Wright, "was an old man, unwell and worn with anxiety, and beginning; to lose his trim horse man's figure. He shone In debate as much as he did In action, in nis profound grasp of any question; In his capacity for dealing at once, and con clusively, with any opposite point which he rejected; In the skill with which he exposed the fallacy of an un sound argument. In the flexible readiness with which ho adapted his attitude to any contrary Idea he felt unable to refute; In the faculty and rapidity with which ha evolved schemes to reach a common agree ment; In the closely woven and order ly logic of his thought; In ths rapid, almost exuberant, flow of his speeoh; in the flashing power of illustrating his meaning; in his ruthless contempt for weaker dialecticians; in all these he reaembled a great Chancery special. "In the slmpllolty of his ways he had not even an A. D. C, and he used to arrive alone, his papers under his arm, with an absence of ceremony astonishing to any one acoustomed to the pomp that surrounds even a Briga dier In the roughness of his ways, a strong contrast to the gentlemanly English, and grand manner of the Italians; In his extreme piety; In all these he was like a rustio French cure, redolent of the soil, the true soli of France, the soil of peasants and sol diers, descendants of those who ac complished the Gesta Del per Franooa, very different from tha guttering foam of Paris, In sheer intellect, he towered above every on at the su preme war council as much as Mr. Lloyd George did In courage." In another place Captain Wright ap plies to Foch the following quotation from the first volume of "Thuoydldes"; "He gave proof of a power and a penetration that was natural, wonder ful and Infallible. When any crisis arose, however little he expected It, and without any examination, a view of the situation, far superior to that of any one else, sprang from him at once, and he predicted the subequent course of events with no less certainty. His exposition of his own plans was most lucid, his criticism of other men s schemes consummate, and, however In calculable the result might seem, he always knew what would succeed and what would not. In a word, uniting the deepest Intellectual grasp with a lightning rapidity of decision, he was the model man of action." GRADING NEW ATHLETIC FIELD AT WAKE FOREST Expect To Complete Work Whhla Next Two Months C. P. Pools Mew Football Manager. (SpKlil to DtUr Mas.) Wake Forest, Dec. 1. Construction of th Gore Athletlo field Is progrest Ing at a rapid rate and ths prospeets for completing ths grading of the field within the next month and halt are Imminent, provided Inclement weather does not handicap the work. The grading of the field has been In progress about a month and the 180,000 square feet of land that will soon beoome tha Wake Forest football gridiron and baseball field la rapidly becoming transformed into a level sur face that will probably afford playing baseball there next spring;. Wake Forest received ths much needed necessity to athletics as a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Claude Gore, of Rockingham, and from Mr. and sirs. D. L. Gore, of Wilmington. As an ap preciation of their generosity, the board of trustees of the college named the field after the donors. From pres ent Indications the grading of the field will be completed not later than the first of February and more than likely by the middle of January. Bleachers for the field will, In all probability, be cut from tha embankment surround ing the field, thus affording a natural support -to concrete bleachers and an up-to-date stadium. The building of the concrete bleachers will probably be financed by the classes of the oollege In twenty feet spaces as thslr gift to the college. By action of the Athletlo Council, C. P. Poole, of Clayton, has bsen elect ed manager of the department of foot ball for the year 1922 and preparations are being made for a schedule for next year by Manager Poole and the coun cil. As yet no definite schedule has been completed, there being three or four dates that have not been filled, al though several colleges are under negotiations for the dates. The games that are certain and will be oontalned on the '28 scheduls are: University of North Carolina, North Carolina State Davidson, Trinity, Elon, Guilford, and William and Mary. The other games will be closed as soon as possible. The state game will be played next year on November 26 and will be staged at Wake Forest. The Davidson game will likely be staged In Charlotte. A place for the Carolina gama has not been decided upon, and tha William and Mary game will again be played In Norfolk. Elon will be played In Wake Forest.
