Baston for the last two years has
been rated one of the best ends in foot
ball. Walter Camp spoke of him as
"one of the best all-round men the west
has ever had"
OF course. there Is always the prob
lem of whether or not a man coming
directly out of foot ball will make a
good coach, but it would seem that
Baston should, as he is said to have all
the qualifications. Certainly he has been
thoroughly grounded in a successful
system-that employed by DR.. Harry
Williams. Minnesota has consistently
turned out fine teams. the one of 1915

developed Baston's play. physically

ARCHBISHOP HARTY
SPEAKS FOR KNIGHTS
America Vast Mobilization
Camp and Time Has Arrived
to Consecrate Wealth for
Soldiers Sake.

Archbishop J. J. Harty yesterday is
sued an appeal in behalf of the
Knights of Columbus drive for funds.
He said:
"Ames:ss has become vast mob:!:-
zation camp. The flower of our young
manhood is in training to become Of
6cers. The vigor and courage of
America has been drafted into the
army, fathers, mothers and sisters
have willingly given up loved sons and
brothers to danger and death. These
fathers, mothers, sisters give an ex-
ample of amazing fortitude. How
sublime it is.
eff any of our boys fail, it will not
be for lack of mental power. In all
the history of the world there has
never been a complete failure that has
not been due to moral weakness.
"The Knight of Columbus with their
work in the camps will make safe the
faith and morals of our boys, the
priceless possessions which they have.
Going hand in hand with this faith
and morality will be the thought ex-
pressed in Holy Scripture: Blessed
are the clean of heart, fer they shall
see God. Faith and morality go to-
gether. Lose one and you will lose
the other.
THE hour calls for the conservation
of wealth to the highest and the fn-
est ideals of religion and manhood.
We do not give this money to the
Knights of Columbus. Irrespective of
dpominational lines we ask the
knights be our almoncrs, to use the
money in the cantonments and over
seas for our boys. We look on those
as sacred to. God and country, as
shrines not to be desecrated by
pollution, or degraded by preventable
disease. The Knights OF Columbus
fund will provide means for the health
OF soul and body. The Knights of
Columbus will aim 70 invest the physi-
cal aspect of life with something of
