officials have not decided what the new
form of penny coinage viii take.
Until the Mint comes out with a sub
stitute, those in charge are asking that
Americans keep their one-cent pieces
in circulation. Many patriotic citizens,
who are saving pennies to buy war
bonds are thereby doing more TO hurt
than TO help our war effort.
Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, Director Of
the Mint. recently cited the case of
three-year-old girl who turned in $50
pennies to purchase a war bond, and
proudly announced that she had 500
more saved toward the next one.
The youngster, Mrs. Ross pointed
out. like all other penny-savers, would
help the war effort that much more it,
instead of keeping coppers until she
had enough 60 get a bond, she bought
war savings stamps.

chair.
AS usual his college of the
Pacific eleven started the season
with a well earned victory so for
the second time the United Press
names as is coach of the week:
Amos Alonzo Stagg, The Grand
father of Football"
He was born in one war and
coached through three others. He
thinks it is the football team
which makes the men, not the men
who make the team.
THE navy and the marines will
have more and better Officers by
reason OF continuing football. 8"
Stage said. This would hold true
for the army also if the army had
taken an opposite view of sports. I
feel certain the army made a mis-
take. Football stimulates officer
candidates to study in order to
maintain eligibility"

He believes the schools that quit
football for the duration made
mistake and that they will realize
it later on.
While some colleges were giving
up football because they thought
they had to, they might have gone
on with a little more courage. The
ones that did won't regret it,
Stages lifetime record is 1923 won,
203 lost and 36 tied. He is a Yale
graduate of 1888 and in 1890
started his first coaching job at
Springfield, Mass, where DR.. James
Nainsmith, the inventor of basket
ball was one of his players. After
two years there in which his teams
won only one game and lost II, he
went to the University of Chicago
and remained for Al years.
