FOOTBALL Gets
KNOCKOUT JOLT
FROM NEW LAW
Probable That FL Paso
High School VIII Have
Football Team.
MILITARY DRILL
REPLACES GAME

THE FL Paso high school is hit with
1 American colleges and institu-
tons where military drill IS main
tanned The request Of the govern
ment is that colleges and institutions
where military training is maintained
refrain from formulating the regular
football schedule this fall
Supt Tighe gives as his belief that
the request made by the government
does not apply TO high schools and
that il VIII not be necessary for the
team Of the FL Paso high school to
discontinue its football schedule. In
case the local high school is found
to come within the scope Of the gov
eminent request, al efforts 20 develop
team VIII at once be abandoned as
complying with federal request and
70 assist in pushing war measures.
The sudden turning in the tide came
with the passing Of the new draft law
by congress, embracing American
manhood between the ages OF is
and IS.
Prior to the passing Of the law it
was planned TO play intercollegiate
football Eastern and western col
leges alike were making preparations
10 90 ahead with schedules as in
former years and although the aver
age prospective player would have
years, fl was believed that the game
could have been conducted success
fully.
Now the military program planned
for the fall semester IN colleges
throughout the country have made the
playing Of intercollegiate games prac-
tically out Of the question except in a
few scattering cases.

The extent Of military training at

ueved that the students VIII be so
occupied with this training, in con-

Efforts Being Made to Get
Two Together in Ring
Before Winter.
HALF OF RECEIPTS
GO TO Red CROSS

NEW YORK, Sept 14.-Strong influ-
N ence is being exerted in an effort
to arrange a match between Jess
willard and Jack Dempsey for the
heavyweight char pionship Of the
world. Should the match be con-
summated at least one-half Of the re-
ceipts would be donated TO the Red
Cross and the boxers would get the
remainder after the expenses had been
deducted.
Jess Consents.
Willard is ready TO meet his youth
ful challenger under such conditions.
He visited friends in Denver recently
and there declared that il Dempsey
would agree to box him and turn over
at least half Of the proceeds TO a war
charity, preferably the Red Cross, he
would sign articles without delay.
Now the only thing that stands in the
way Of the match is Dempsey's con-
sent.
so far as Dempsey himself IS con-
cerned he is known TO be willing TO
box the champion for nothing But
the obstacle appears to be the syndi-
cate Of fight promoters who manage
him They cannot see how they could
profit by such a division Of the spoils
as Willard suggests and therefore are
not manifesting great deal Of in
terest in the proposed match But. as
previously mentioned, influential folk
are interested in the promotion Of the
match and it is likely to be staged
before the cold weather sets in

PUBLIC NOTICE

The necessity of conserving coal
and the difficulty OF securing ship
ments of coal for domestic and other
purposes would indicate that greater
dependence be placed upon wood for
fuel. Free use permits for dead tim
ber of all kinds and for live aspen
are granted for the use of any set
tier, prospector, or resident, and all
such persons are urged to take ad-
vantage of the regulations and secure
all wood that they may require from
the Cochetopa National Forest. Live
aspen cut during the winter makes
one of the best fuels that can be OBJ
tanned for summer use, and is usually
economical to secure. The nearest
Ranger will be glad to issue you a
permit for not to exceed 40 cords of
wood, each year, and additional
amounts may be secured from the
Forest Supervisor. Permits are not
required on the free use areas of the
Camera District which have been
