suited in his death. - -

college football team with the Vermilion
team. He was tackled while making a
run and died in five days. A few days
afterward Mr.. Jordan found that the

the game expressed the intention of 'Iay-
ing him OUT Since that time he has
done nothing but look for the man who
he believes murdered his son. He went
to ,Vermilion and talked with all the play
ers. seeking to find who ia czled his boy.
