SHORTAGE OF FOOTBALL

Majority of Prominent Athletes Now on Way to France For Y. M. c. A. Work.

The scarcity of football coaches has created an alarming situation among the colleges for the Y. M. c.

 The demand for athletes to serve as Y. M. c. A. instructors in France, Eng land and Italy, is constantly growing and up to the present time the Y. M c. A. officials have not been able to furnish the instructors and trainers fast enough.

 The College Recruiting committee has called upon the letter men of the | leading colleges throughout the coun- | try for Y. M. c. A. athletic work, anG many football men have responded anC more are sure to follow. The situa- tion is one which the football officials did not count on, but the sentiment among nearly all of the institutions is that they are willing to sacrifice the coming football season, if neces- sary, in order that the troops abroad may be the proper training.
 Not only are the football men beins recruited by the Y, M. c. A. in larg' numbers, but the trainers are alst being sought. Pooch Donovan, tn Harvard trainer; Tom Keane tn trainer at Syracuse, and Steve Far rell, trainer at Michigan, have joined l the ranks of Y. M. c. A. athletic in structors.

A. E. F. Wants Sport ParaphanaIia,

Reports from various parts of Flu rope where American forces are sta tioned accent the steadily growing de- mand and also shortage of sport equip ment. The loss of several large con signments of athletic paraphenalia while enroute abroad has also com plicated the situation and led to some | unique foreign made substitutes Eng fish and French firms are endeavoring to supply the demand for baseball out fits, using American goods as models. Due to the scarcity of certain mater. ials, however, some of the productions appear a trif1e unusual to the over seas players. The emergency has forced some United States soldiers to look to French manufacturers for their baseball goods and, as a result, the first baseball glove in French history has been produced. The latest French creation is said to be a close copy of those of the great American houses, with the exception that the new glove 1 has an innovation between the thumb and forefnger. Instead of having the l thumb and forefnger held together by soft leather or webbing a piece of cord answers the purpose. There is also
 a shortage in baseball bats and many
