ton, one of the best known football
coaches in the country. died this at

one hour after being stricken with
acute indigestion on the football neiu
at Columbia university.
Mr.. Haughton was 40 years old ana
had been coach at Columbia Tor TWO
years. Previous to that ne had been
at Harvard university for many
wears. where his reputation as one or
the greatest football generals the
game has ever known.
The famous coach was at work

to save his life.
His sudden death came two days
after the Columbian eleven had ad-
ministered crushing defeat to VIII
liams college. which was taken as
proof by critics that Haughton had
installed football system at Column
bia destined to rival his former sue
cess at Harvard where his teams
from 1905 to 1916 ranked with the
best in gridiron history.
The fatal attack interrupted the
first practice which was to prepare
his squad for it's real test next sat

the most ambitious schedule which
Columbia had attempted since foot
ball had been revived at Columbia in
1915.
Haughton came to Columbia in
April, 1928. taking charge of the
spring training of that season. His
contract was said to have been for
$l5,O0 a year. He was obtained by
a special commission appointed by
the university to get a coach capable
of producing a real football team.
Previously. the Blue and White
teams had been of mediocre calibre.
The new coach worked slowly to
install the fundamentals. His sue
cess last year was fair and his 1924
squad was only promising. The early
games this year, particularly the 10

weeks ago, showed some improve

COburn Football
Eleven Holds Light
Practice Monday

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Waterville. Oct. 27.-The Coburn
gridsters held a light practice on
Libbcv field yesterday afternoon.
Few men reported az the ma jority
nt the squad had n little extra study
ing to attend to. but Captain Shana-
han had the men that reported lin
herring mp and running through sig
rails and as the team that will play
against Bowdoin Freshmen will be
made up mostly of second string
men there was not much need Of
the whole squad reporting.
Coach Haincs Is satisfied that he
has a good team and one that can
run through the remainder OF the
schedule without defeat but he Is not
going to let up on the men to the
extent that he will not keep them
working for positions. He realizes
that he has some competent men
sitting on the bench and these men
will not be deprived Of a chance to
make good. Many a good team has
been dragged to the depths of the
well-known slump for the, simple
reason that the men were inclined
to take things too easy in mid-sea-
son after making regular position.
In order that nothing or this sort
will happen the Crimson and Gold
mentor will pass lot OF time with
his reserves this week so that he
can keep up the fighting spirit OF
the squad. There Is wealth OF po-
tential material at Coburn and 1t
would not be at all surprising to see
few hard working substitutes come
into their own in the coming week
and earn the right to play as reg
ulars.
1t was no surprise TO football fans
when Coburn defeated Westbrook
but no one had any idea that the
score would be so high. IL looks as
though Cohurn was going to be
real contender for honors this sea-
son. especially after witnessing the
exhibition that Rents Hin and He

OF these two teams can compare with

is expressed in the committees re-
port to the biennial convention of
that church in session here. The
committee says:
licity and advertising proper aids in
prosecuting their work nationally

come to attach a growing value to
church activities as news for their
readers. The paid advertisement has
become invaluable to considerable
number of local churches"
