Other Countries In 1889

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13- Up -
The United Kingdom again was the

third with $231,405, 900, France
fourth with s181, $4,000 and the
Philippine Islands fifth with $780,.
018, 900.
Canada again was the leading i'm
porter to the United Staten, ship
ping in products totalling $340, $685.
600. The next four sources of i'm
ports were: japan, S161, 1876, 900;
United Kingdom, $149, 669, 900; Brit
ish Malaga, $14s, 1865, 900; and the
Philippine Islands, $91, 927, 900.
Towards the end of the year,
foreign trade was affected by the
war, cutting off exports to Ger
many, increasing airplane ship
ments to France, and generally
boosting sales to Canada, Latin
America and Asia

Ross explained that a congress.
sional act, which still was in force,
provided that the Indians on the

their land. The date for the voting
has passed, the attorney said, and
congress now will be asked to pass
a law permitting the interior de.
partment to traverse the land.
This would supercede the former
law.

with a new coach every two or three
years The result is periodical
department reorganization and in
stallation OF a new coaching sys-
tem-and fewer championships
Fortunately there are only few
such boards left in high schools
and Junior colleges and as a result
there are not the wholesale changes
that are common in college foot
ball.
There are exceptional cases, Of
course. such as changes in the
athletic department because coaches
cannot hit il off with the men
under their charge. or because a
coach forgets he is morally obligat-
ed to live as he teaches his boys
to live or more rarely still. because
a coach is not competent teacher.
Scan the colleges who turn out
winning football teams year in and
year out and YOU will find that
those schools have employed the
same coach over long period Of
time There's Howard Jones of
use, Major Neyland of Tennes-
see, Elmer Layden of Notre Dame,
Bennie Bierman of Minnesota. Doc
Alexander of Georgia Tech and
many others.
Those cases alone prove the weak
ness Of a program which continu-
ally changes the athletic depart
ment setups. They gave Elmer
Layden three years at Notre Dame
and now he is the toughest coach
TO beat in the nation. they gave
Jones three years to come out Of
slump at use. and he did, with
flying colors. Such was also the
case at Tennessee.
As soon as all boards which con-
troll the hiring and firing of foot
ball coaches follow that policy the
athletic program OF the nations
schools will hit peak which has
not yet been attained. And therell
be better athletes. better men, bet
ter citizens turned out of our uni

TO the pop-eyed. leather -lunged fans

opening today between the first

so TO him this series means the
answer to whether the Dodgers Will

Maybe the Dodger fans aren't so
goofy after all. Certainly Bill Nc

Ere the RLiuhter .

This is the time of year that the
board of regents, or whatever board
it is that fires and hires coaching
staff members in high schools. ju
nior colleges and universities, sits
down to ponder the merits and
dement's of the school physical edu-
cation department.
They ponder also the cases of
other teachers. fire and hire them
much as their conscience dictates
or perhaps by the sound of their
names. but because this is a sports
column we'll discuss only the ath-
letic setup.
Many times though such is not
generally the case in Imperial Valley
school systems. a coach is fired or
hired solely on the basis of his
record in football with no regard
for injuries or other contributing
factors which might have affected
his team.
