ANN ARBOR, Mich. November .
One of the editors of the Middle West
has pointed out in pungent editorial
that the youth of America receives a
square deal in the games he plays.
but that this good sportsmanship or
honesty sometimes seems to be lack
ing in contests Of politics, business and
professions.
In other words. the realm OF sports
is q cleaner one than the one the
youth enters when he has completed
his college years and pits his train
ing against that of other men to earn
q place in the world
On the track of youth he is guar
anteed of fair start. an unobstructed
course and an impartial decision at the
finish. In foot ball he is given the
direction of clearly defined rules and
officials trained to sea that all enter
ing the game play under the direction
OF the rules.

The Indians then left the house. and congregated on the bank Of the river, planting their shields in a row, so as to form wall. as if intending to attack the other building. At the time of the ar wal of the Indians. woman was in the cooking house, boiling her kettle; She saw them but did not dare go out until they were in Maximof's house. when she ran to the barracks and alarmed the men, who were all asleep.
