With various coaches already on
the job, the 1917 football campaign
begins to take on life. In another
week the squads will all be hard at
work all over the country, fitting
thousands of young men for that
rougher and more important game

France.
Excepting only Harvard, Yale,
Princeton, and Virginia, every college
and university in the land has de-
cided to carry out the wishes Of Pres

other branches of athletics this sea-
son.
From everywhere comes the tale of
lost gridiron stars. When the first Of

It is because OF the lack of stars
that Harvard, Yale. and Princeton

MoRENcI GIRL WANTS ;. CHANGE TO DO SHARE
 OF RED CROSS WORK

We're young, healthy, enthusi- astic and clamoring for a chance to do our share of Red Cross work" =.-s
 Miss Georgia Harrison, of Morenci. Arizona, wrote chairman of the Fl Paso chapter of the Red Cross, asking how a chapter of the Red Cross may be established in Mo renci. Her letter follows:
 Events of the last week have awakened much patriotism and zeal here and a number of the teachers and girls about town are interested to know how they may prepare to be of some effectual service, if needed.
 q think Red Cross chapter would flourish here, and would like to have authority and direc- tions for organizing one.
 If we are successful in form ing a chapter we desire to take a course in some kind of training that would put us in line for Red Cross work by the first of June. School will be out then and we shall be free to do such work. Most of us are university gradu- ates and all of us are young, healthy, enthusiastic and clamor- ing for chance to do our share"
