COACH YOST is PLEASED
WITH CAMPS SELECTION

Nashville. Feb A good many ex-
plantations have been offered OF the
keynote 10 success In playing football,
but according 20 Coach Fielding Yost
the great Heston had all the authori-
ties skinned" when IL came 10 ex-
pressing the secret in nut shell. Hes
ton is quoted as having been once
asked what the secret of his wonder
ful work was and he replied laconic-
ally that IL was 10 work his lanterns
and jump the dead ones" His mean
ing. OF course. was that he has his eye
always on the man with the ball and
paid no attention to those not fgur-
ing in the play.
I'm my IS years OF experience as a
player and coach have seen about all
the big Ones" he said. but take il
from me that Walter Camp was never
truer TO history than when he selected
Heston and Schultz as the greatest
men who ever played their positions in
this country. Both of them were won
ders and no mistake. and lowered
above. far above others who have es-
sayed the halfback and center roles. 4"
When asked to give in his opinion
as to the one distinguishing character
istic OF these men-that is as To what
chief qualification they possessed TO
make them the notable stars they were
he replied that both appeared TO pos
sess equally as a paramount talent
what is commonly known as football
brains-the ability TO instinctively di-
vine plays on the defensive and to in
tuitively realize the movements Of OPP
ponents when in offensive play. Hes
toms characterization comes near ex-
pressing the whole thing" he said.
Those great stars, he declared. in
addition, had powerful constitutions
which could stand unlimited punish
ment, were always in condition and
loved TO play the game. The noted
Ann Arbor instructor is naturally
gratihed over the recognition given
his men by Camp. but thinks that prac-
ticaly all gridiron authorities will
agree with the Yale man.

DIGNITY OF OWNERSHIP.
Policeman Tells How He Came to APP
preeiate Feeling.

"Many a time" said a policeman In
the southern part of the city. when
arresting men. especially intoxicated
men, / have been told by my prisoner
hat he was a taxpayer and that he
helped pay my wages.
Il always regarded this sort of back
talk as merely drunken insolence and
never paid any attention to it until
about a year ago, when l bought a
house and lot and became myself q
taxpayer. l had always rented before
and never gave a thought to taxes,
but as soon as / moved into my own
house / began to appreciate the feel
ings of men who resented arrest be-
cause they paid taxes.
There is certainly a considerable
addition to the dignity of the man who
helps support the government He
feels a degree of responsibility that a
renter or roomer never understands,
and my idea is that every man In the
country ought to become a taxpayer
as soon as he can. And the mere fact
that he does help support the govern
ment and bears his share of the ex-
pense makes him a better citizen
Habitual criminals are rarely taxpay-
