BY Lne ASSOCldLeu 1900
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 23.-The
Ohio High School Coaches Associa-
ton, through its officials, demanded
today that one of it's members be
named head football coach at Ohio
State University-and pointed to
Paul E. Brown of Massillon as the
man for the job.
In an unqualified Endorsement of
Brown, James R. (Jim) Robinson,
president of the association and
coach at Canton Lehman High
School, mailed letters to 500 men,
bers of the group, asking them to
boost Brown for the Buckeye berth
resigned last week by Francis
Schmidt.
Robinson declared he conferred
with representative coaches of seven
Northeastern Ohio counties relative
to backing Brown, and said 'they
we're 100 per cent for this action"
Should the 500 members go along
with Robinson's plan, Athletic Direc-
tor L. w. st. John of Ohio State
probably will find more than holiday
greeting cards in his mail box for
the next week or two.
Robinson urged the high school
coaches to write to st. John, urging
Browns appointment; to ask their
State representatives to do the same;
to contact Ohio State alumni with
a request that they join the letter
writing parade.
Robinson flayed what he termed
the method of selecting coaches for
big college jobs-"the scrutinizing OF
big name coaches or the list of the
most recent all-America selections.
"This policy" he said, "has beer
wrong in several respects. Surely il
has been unfair to the rank and file
of hard working high school coaches

The departure of the majority
of the first Jewish settlers was
due to the following causes: the
deprivation of Jewish life, the
hardships of pioneering, a conflag-
ration which destroyed tn cir
means of livelihood, and to the
historic yellow fever epidemic. The
Jewish group consisted of mer-
chants and their clerks.
During the following five years
their number h a d increased to
three hundred, two per cent of the
general population. At the end Of
that period, a small band of wom-
en- h a d formed an organization
which introduced Jewish social
life in the growing community.
That erstwhile organization con-
tributed in large measure to the
spiritual progress of the communi-
ty. It's leaders endeavored to fos-
ter good will between Jews and
Christians by participating in civ
ic activities and in the cultural
life of the general community.
Three years later, the commu-
nifty possessed synagogue, whose
congregation was composed of or
thodox, Conservative and Reform
elements. Worship was conducted
in the Conservative form. In that
period several organizations were
formed. Among them: a Zionist
district, B'nai Birth lodge, Coun-
Gil of Jewish Women, Kadassah
and Welfare bureau. In the next
tive years, the Jewish population
increased to two thousand, keep
ing pace with the growth of the
general population which num-
bered 69,700. During that period
there was notable accelleration
of social and religious activities.
A reform temple was established
in the city, and an orthodox syna-
gogue at the beach. That stage of
development marked the beginning
