Ceneral O'Neil said ho decided
to t;o around the world with a
sword in his hand. "I would rather
be a buck private in the rear

O'Neil fought in Cuba anfl 'the I h-ivl .l iv' work on
Philippines. In Cuba he was s c- '
nnd lieutenant, and first lieutenant
in the Philippines. I luring the
World war he had 30.000 men un
der his command, and fought with
10. Olio. "We were under shellfire
about 100 days altogether. 7l! of
them during the battle of the Ar
gonne," he stated.
General O'Neil related an inci
dent of the Hpanish-A merlean war
while in t uba. He was going
aerosH country with iv group of
fellows, who found the body ot a
Spanish captain. The captain's
sword was a short distance from
the body, and Gene ml O'Neil,
knowing that thv Spanish captains
had the best of swords, took it to
te a Toledo blade. lis carried
the sword around with him In all
of his travels, taking the best care
of it. One day he happened to
meet a connoisseur Of arms, nnd
was very proud to .show the cap
tain's sword. Tile connoisseur,
after looking it over carefully said.
"I thought this hail a Toledo hludf.
ook here." There, printed on the
blade of the sword were the words,
"lirldgeport, Conn." General O'Neil
still has the sword in his posses
sion, and r.ays anyone wanting to
see a Toledo blade made in lirldge
port, may look at thin relic.
Athletics were a part of Mr.
O' Neil's work during the war as
well as now. He had charge of
the athletics of 10,000 men. As

in this way.
General O'Neil was captain of
the Notre Dame football team in
1 S S3. It was at this time the team
got the name. "The Fighting Irish."
by which they are still known to
day. Some of the famoiiH men on
the team at that time were Mike

Swedes.
