Mcmillan Tells Of Growth Of
Football In Southern
Sections Now.
BY "Rop NC MILLIN
AlI.Amerlea ouarterhnek

For many years the general I'm.
preston In the North and the East
has been that football In the South
was far below that Of the other
sections. The far west was also
left out in the rating Of the differ.
emit teams for a long time. This Is
hard to believe now, though, on
account OF the progress shown In
these sections In the past several
years.
The slowness Of the South to
grasp the importance Of football
can be explained to some extent.
For a long time the teams in he
East would engage graduates OF
their own system as coaches Of
their own teams. The same
method has been followed In the
South until Just a few years ago.
The South was the longest in get
ting ava y from this plan and they
have not advanced in the progress
of the game as rapidly as tho
teams OF the East. But at the pres.
ent time the. South has come into
its own along football lines and
will be heard from In all ratings
from now on.
The open style of play has ad.
yanced the game to a great extent
and has allowed the smaller insti.
tutions a better chance to cope
with the larger ones. It has de.
Yeloped many new methods and
systems OF play which have caus.
ed the teams to break away from
the alumni system of coaching.
About the only ones using
this entirely now are the members
of tho big three and they would
probably be better off II they
would broaden out Just a little. This
has been proven by the way Cen.
ire and some OF the other smaller
Institutions have I'm able to scora
two or ERE touchdowns against
these teams.

practically bankrupt, it is certainly
time for leader Of force and convic-
ton in this district to champion the
crushed and overburdened taxpayers
interests and especially when the
tendency of the present Congress is
painfully toward high taxes, general
eStravagant management, and GER
tainly wasteful execution.
The tendency of the present Con.
gress is toward tapping all new and
available Psources Of taxing
and spending. Taxes on eating and
drinking, taxes on pain and pleasure,
income taxes, inheritance taxes, farm
taxes, city taxes, taxes on living and
dying.
If Congress continues to appropri-
ate billions the people must continue
to pay. No question more seriously
engrosses the attention Of the people
or more seriously effects their liber.
ties than excessive taxatin.

gress of the type of DR.. J. L. Eaton,
of intellectual integrity and courage,
who are for the things that the peo-
pie want.

Years ago nearly every town of
1000 inhabitants had someone to
start a laundry; in most cases this
party who did the starting, knew
nothing about the business. This was
great handicap to the business in

laundry as a place where linen was
boiled in sulphuric acid, and even to
this day many peculiar ideas are fos-
