COMPULSORY SCHOOL
LAWS HELP SPORTS

ANN ARBOR, Mich.-Compulsory
school laws in many states, bringing
with it an education in football, or
at least in the rudiments of the game,
accounts in large measure for the in
creased popularity of the gridiron
sport, in the opinion Of Fielding H..
(Hurry Up) Yost, 20 mentor at the
University of Michigan and one of the
most widely known coaches in the
country.
Present laws in many states re-
quires attendance of young men in
high Schools Yost said today, "and
while attending school the youths
learn something about football. The
enthusiasm for the sport is carried
with them through life. A majority
of the persons who learn something
about football like to see the games.
This largely is the reason why col
leges and universities are building
larger stadiums.
Football is the outstanding Ameri'
can college and high school game. AS
such it is becoming more popular
every year. The keen competition
among teams, as we'll as between in

handin' out"
"Ah suah am becomin' the eatenist

Gus occasions in the barred adobe
remarked that "the eats are better
than ever"

very neat appearance. Everything in
il is clean, all of the rooms have been
thoroughly scrubbed and washed. New
bedding outfits, including mattresses,
sheets, etc., have been received.
An improvised barbershop has been
erected in the basement of the jail
consisting of an arm chair with a
board on the arms on which the per
son desiring tonsoral attention is seat
ed while one of the inmates who
wields a pair of wicked scissors clicks
off the excess hair.

scattered. They dashed into buildings
in the vicinity of Pennsylvania and

close on their heels,

took charge of the car and found what

armed Greek soldiers still remain on
the peninsula west Of Smyrna be-
tween the Gulf Of Smyrna and the
Gulf Of Scala Nova, according to the
Greek military mission here, but with
what il described as an adequate
armed force protecting the seven mile
isthmus separating the peninsula from
the mainland. The Greeks say they
expect to remove these troops to home
ports direct from the peninsula
The Turkish nationalists have taken
few prisoners, the Greeks here claim
but they admit that many units arc
not accounted for and that these arc
probably wandering around Smyrna.
