NEW YORK, July 1.-Some idea of
the immense cost of collegiate football
was contained in the recent report of
a committee of Yale graduates that
entered hot criticism of the conduct
of athletes at the New Haven institu-

were $360,000 and in 1921 they were
S540,000. Yet Yale finished with a def
cit of 100000.

 Girls Addicts.

Denver, April Exchanges that narcotic dealers are giving drugs to Denver school children in order to create q permanent demand for them: that six drug addicts were discovered on Easter Day among Denver girls from I [ to years old by Federal of ficers, and that evidence of frequent and repeated sales of drugs within one block of q school has been obtained, were contained in the report of the Federal Grand Jury submitted 10 Judge Robert E. Lewis.
 officials charge that school chill dren are being given the drugs to create future patrons for the traffic, and in many instances we have evi- dence that drugs are frequently de- liyered and sold in the block occupied by the East Denver High school" the report said. "On Easter Sunday in Denver six new addicts (we know not how many others there may have been who were not found) girls be- tween the ages of IF and 19-were discovered in Denver and recorded in the office of the Narcotic Division.
 We have evidence that persons en- gagged in this traffic drew salaries from the big dealers for their serv- ics whether in jail or out. Our atten- ton again and again has been called to addicts whose career in the drug habit has been started by some phy- sician who Intentionally or carelessly prescribed narcotic drugs in amounts sufficient to establish ihe habit
 First offenders in both liquor and narcotic law violations should receive the maximum sentences under the law, the statement says. Clinics and hospitals for the care of addicts should be established immediately, and information should be disseminat- ed as widely and thoroughly as pos sible.
 One hundred indictments were re- turned by the Grand Jury, of which forty-fve charged violation of the Narcotic act.
