MEXCANS KILL AMERICAN
Consul Letcher's Appeal to Gen. Salazar
in Vain.

al NdlUs
Ell Paso, TEXAN American news
paper man who returned from Parral
with 1874 American and other foreign
refugees from the battle-swept district
brought news of the execution of Thomas
Fountain, an American, by the rebels.
Fountain was captain of a federal gun
under Gen. Sancho Villa. His home
was at Las Cruces, n. NJ.
American residents made every effort
to obtain a modification of the sen-
tence, but without avail. Finally Ameri-

Gen. Salazar what is believed to have
been an appeal from Washington that his
life be spared. In delivering the mis-
sive to a messenger the consul remarked.
"This is the last resort"
Apparently it had no effect.

athletic clubs. From experience
as coach and official with such
teams, the writer has concluded
that the ONE reason why football
has not long since become popu-
lar is that boys in grade schools
and clubs do not KNOW the
game, either in spirit or letter
The part of football written up
in the papers, as a rule, is the
roughness and the strategy, yet
the REAL game lies in little de-
tails of the work of thefindivid-
ual players: rs
The VERY FIRST thing the
youthful football player MUST
do, is TO master the rules; every
player should be able to answer
any question pertaining to the
game without hesitation. It. H..
Yost, the Michigan coach, has
said that much of his past success
was due to the "quiz classes"
held frequently when training.
These are merely interrogations
by Yost, upon the rules, and ev-
cry variety man at Michigan
MUST be letter perfect.
The rules this year are about
the same as in 1911, with few
minor changes to simplify them,
and a little study and discussion
with other players will get the
rudiments into every boys head.
A quiz class and study will do the
rest.
When Sam White smashed
through the Harvard line at
Princeton last fall and grabbed
fumbled ball, he didn't pause
and ask himself what to do next.
He had that ball in his arms and
was off for the Red goal before
he had time to think of anything.
He acted mechanically, because
he had been trained for weeks to
do just as he did,
Harvard said it was a fluke,
that their team was bigger,
stronger and better than Prince
ton, but Harvard failed In a fun
damental when a back fumbled
and White was there to take ad-
vantage of the situation - which
Is football and sport.
So, boys, learn the fundamen-
tails. Become so familiar with
the little things-HANDLING
