(United Press.)— Accurate “fiielding averages" of foot- . ball players are necessary to insure fairness in choosing the eleven best men from the big squads which turn out each fall at "Big Ten" schools, according to coaches. Elaborate score sheets are used to show how many tackles each man made or missed. passes caught and dropped, suc- < ess or failure at blocking, and a dozen other details in which coaches are interested. Fraternity and class rivalry niakt* a ; record necessary, according to,Coach Fisher of Michigan, to protect coaches against charges of favoritism in picking the “varsity.” Men who j»frc "flashy” on the gridiron sometimes accomplish less than the man who remains in the background. The scoring system is also helpful in aiding a coach to select a team from his squad suited to the opponents for a particular game/ If the opponent aggregation is known to have strong ends and the center of the line is weak, the scoring charts ■will show which backs are more efficient at gaining through the line rather than skirting the extremities. Ry use of the charts, coaches are able to instruct quarterbacks which carriers are liable to gain on certain plays. Interesting comparisons are found in yards gained by bucking and running backs. The idea of gauging football efficiently by keeping a written record is not new, but has been developed lo a much greater extent this season. ; it is said. Lake Forest, 111., college' is credited with a well organized system of scoring tackles by both linesmen and back as early as 189.3. Scoring is done by student experts at Michigan, where the system is said to be most efficient. At other schools, a coach or assistant keeps track of the plays.

How Can The Average Man Get Ahead True Stories Os Wage Earners And Salaried Men And Women Who Have Found The Road to Financial Independence (By Samuel O. Rice, Educational Director Investment Bankers Association of America)

Has your church, your lodge, your club, your labor union, or your alma mater any invested funds? What kind of securities make up their investments? Have you life insurance? Ask your life insurance company what kind of investment securities it holds. None of these, you will find are at all likely to be wild cat stocks or fake oil securities. They may contain oil stocks, but they will be the stocks reputable, established oil companies with a fine earing record. Most of these investments will be in sound bonds and seasoned stocks or good mortgages. They will have been selected mostly by reputable, investment experts and will be sound and desirable.' If you find it puzzling to select the right kind of investments, consider the foregoing as a guide. It is practicable for most every man and wo-' man. A once-poor preacher in a Minnesota city church followed such a guide and now has a substantial fund that yields enough for all his needs. At a recent meeting of the elders ot his church he announced that the church owes him nothing for his services so tong as he lives and that at his death his investments are to be made an endowment fund in memory of his wife. ( More than twenty years ago, when this minister was just beginning to save a little money from his salary, his wife died. That left, as his only

Immediate responsibility, his church work, to which he devoted more attention than his congregation ever r/ qulred. Although his salary was not large and although he gave Hberailv to charity, the minister found his savings growing. He consulted the church officers who invested the church's funds. With their advice he inad ( e similar investments of his small savings. His average annual return from his investments has been only 5 1-4 per emit, yet this return added to the modestly increasing principal has built a substantial fund sufficient now to pay the minister's salary. i Compound interest is one us Ue j greatest inventions in the world, it Is a sure device for creating a competence, a fund for a .comfortable j old age, or large or small fortunes. It ' was the device this Minnesota minis- ' ter used. He put small savings into safe investments. The interest the investments securities yielded was put back into sound securities. Thousands iof wealthy men have done and are I ■ doing the same thing. There is no ■ patent on compound interest, anyone ! can use it. It works with the same t efficiency for the poor as for the : rich.
