is a story that in the old days some
of the bright young men who served AZ
runners used to congregate at the cor

change checks, the runner who had
the smaller amount of drafts in eacE
exchange being relieved of any further
labor. The other runner would cat
at the first runners bank and collect
the balance due his own bank. 1t is
said that from these meetings the idea
of the clearing house originated, but ii

Of football was reached not long d~,
he advised needing the cIamnr fyy

conference Of leading football experts
at the Wni>e House for that purpose
Several days Were spent in considering
the question Of how TO meet objections
to the game rs played without spelling

the sport. Football is no game for
