AMERICAN ATHLETES GET COMMISSIONS The List Includes Rugby, Golf, Tennis, Baseball Players, Trapshooters, Swimmers. Nearly 200 athletes from thirty col- leges are in Chicago wearing the symbols of army rank received after three months' 'intensive work at the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Sher- idan, > These new officer-athletes include enough all-star football players to make up three elevens, shining lights in college baseball, several golfers of championship class, tennis players who hold inter-stafe records, swim- mers and trapshooters of more than local reputation. Watts Valentine, one of the six to win the rank of major at the Fort Sheridan Camp; is a former athlete from Shattuck Military Academy, Minnesota; Jess Spalding. Yale's foot« ball captain in 1912, and Dean Henry Gordon Gale, of the University of Chicago, star baseball player twenty years ago, received captaincies. Eight all-American football men who received commissions were: FE. J AHlmeadinger, Albert Benbrook and James B. Craig, University of Michi- gan; Paul Des Jardien, University of Chicago; Jesse Spalding and Knox P. Walker, University of Virginia; E. F. Ver Wiebe, Harvard, and James Tur- ner, Dartmouth FOOTBALL TOLL LIGHTER. Three Were Twelve Victims 1917 Season. Football exacted a toll of twelve victims during the 1917 season in the U.S., which ended with Thangsgiving day games, according to reports to the Associated Press. The number was six less than in 1916. Defenders of the sport pointed to the fact that not a fatality nor even a serious injury occurred in the big universities and colleges where the game is conducted under expert phy- sical direction. All the victims, with one exception, were either high school students or players who, with little or no training, partici- pated in semi-professional games. A majority of the cases showed that the players entered the game without previous knowledge of it, and with no preparatory physical condition for so rough a sport. The open style of play, instead of Smashing game, which readily is be- 'ing discarded, has eliminated much of the danger, in the opinion of the experts. The players, they say, also proved heavily<padded uniforms and "headgear. During TWO WINTER TRACKS OPEN. -- Racing Will Commence at Havana and New Orleans To-day. Two winter race meetings begin to- day--one at New Orleans and the other at Havana, Cuba The new Jefferson Parish track, near the Cres- cent City, will open for the first time and will operate up to and including December 31st.

Brown, the promoter, states that 800 horses are on the ground and that President Menocal will attend the opening cére- monies. C. J. Fitzgerald, the Cana- dian, is the chief steward.

The State De- partment at Washington has issued a ruling that persons wishing to visit the Tijuana and Juarez tracks need not have passports, but may carry in- stead identification cards issued by Federal authority. Since this de- spatch was given out nothing has been heard from the promoters at these tracks as to their intentions.
