TH E fighting spirit of the Utah light field artillery will be heard f om other sources than upon the European battlefields arton c if the hopes of Captain R. P. King, coach of the regimental football team, materialize this fall. And a glimpse of his material list will make evident the fact that his hopes are not without foundation. Under his supervision super-vision at present are scores of players who have made names for themselves in school and college and upon whom rested rest-ed the fate of teams throughout the state. Coach King, by his own admission, and those who know him, understand the difficulty in wringing a confession from his lips, has realized that in selecting se-lecting his material for the regimental squad he has undermined some of the h ading teams of the entire state,' But this detail has failed to worry the coach. e has already received promises prom-ises that his team will be sent back to Utah this fall to line up against the state's best players and the more he takes with him the less he will worry about the result of his home trip. All is fair in war, love and football, according ac-cording to his code. Pep in Practice. A trip to the camp and' an inspection inspec-tion of the boys as they plow about the fields in their strenuous efforts to absorb the necessary instruction to make them good artillerists would create cre-ate the impression that little ' pep " would remain in the football warriors when the call came for practice. However, How-ever, a glimpse of the squad in action belies this. For speed and action at the completion of a hard dav's work, the boys are really a revelation. In school and college manv of the, football artists are dismissed, from certain cer-tain work in order that they mav devote de-vote more time to athletic ' activities. It is not so in the army. The men are called upon to fulfill their full day s labor before tVr.'v don thir togs for the ha rd foot ball work ahead. Kegi nient a I players can be seen hard at, work on the dusty field near camp, while their comrades take it easy in the cool tents following drill.

In his selection of a team from morn than fifty men who have had considerable consid-erable experienco upon tho gridiron, Coach King has eliminated weight for sliced. While his backs are heavy and should carry the necessary steam to push tho pigskin through a line of concrete, con-crete, the rest of his players are smaller, small-er, but exceptionally fast upon their feet. In these men ho pins his hopes for a ground-gaining forward pass which is truly original. According to Conch King's schedule, the team will have plcntv of excitement, excite-ment, upon tho field of piny this fall. In addition to scores of military teams which will be open for games nt Camp Kearney, Cal., where the Utah bo.vs will train this winter, ho hopes to arrange ar-range games with the University of Southern California and J.elnnd Btan ford teams.
