I'VE do not engage a football
coach at Wisconsin for the sole pur-
pose of winning conference cham
pionships, and, when he fails, turn
upon him and cast him out coldly.
The coach's value is measured by the
faithful, honest service he renders
the institution whose football eleven
he directs, not by his ability alone to
turn out championship teams, as
would seem to be the case if the ar
.ticle referred to had been true"
This statement from the Wiscon-
sin professor is refreshing. 1t shows
that at least one university retains
the old, and proper, view of the pur-
pose of a football team.
In the inception of the sport the
idea was to give the players proper
physical training, and furnish COM
petition that would breed friendly
rivalry between the universities.
Lately football has become finan-
cial consideration with too many in
stitutions. They go to great expense
to turn out winning teams, knowing
that a winner, in turn, will prove a
great moneymaker for the athletic
department,

morning. Death followed an illness
of three weeks, during which time he
suffered from heart weakness.
A trifle over three weeks ago, DR..
Ardiel was compelled to give up his
practice at Avoca and go away for
the benefit of his health. Together
with his wife and young son and dau-
ghter, he went to London, Canada,
his old home to visit his wife's broth
er and other friends and relations
For a time he seemed to improve, but
later he suffered a relapse and death
came shortly after o'clock this morn
ing.
DR.. Ardiel was born near London,
Canada, As years ago. At the age OF
"a years, 21 years ago, he moved to
Avoca where he practiced until he
was compelled to take a rest. He was
one of the most prominent residents
in that section of the county and for
considerable time was postmaster. He
also was prominently identified with
fraternal work.
Besides a widow, the doctor is sur
vived by two daughters and one son.
Vera, the oldest daughter is attending
the normal school at Ypsilanu. Verna,
and his son Russell, were with him
in London at the time of his death.
The time of the funeral has not been
decided. Notice was received today
that the body would not be taken back
to Avoca, but would be inferred in
