The coach began to give final instructions about the play. He said, "If we can knock out Smith in ’ the first half, we can win. Lay for h:tn and if you 'get a chance ..." and then followed a list of ways to "knock out" Smith. The team listened, and not a man said a word until a freshman spoke up, “Mr. Coach,” he said, “if you want me to play that kind of football, you can count out." “Ah. come on, freshy,” cried out a few of tlie boys, and quickly he responded by saying, "I look upon football as a part of my education where II may learn to do quick thinking, tlo I team work, make a sacrifice play it ■ necessary, but in it all I must maintain my self-respect and play fair and clean. If this team is going to play dirty, count me out.

But we can treat the name . two ways: Either it is. an honorary . degree for those who measure up to the spirit and purpose of Jesus or it is the card of registration in the school of Christ.

“Hell’s Fire And A Fuzzy OI” Lack Dignity Washington, June 10 — (United Press)—'‘Hell’s Fire and a Fuzzy O!” has become a point of acute discussion in the U. S. army. Tin* phrase in question is the batHu* cry of the 360th Infantry, 90th Division and was used to good ad-| vantage on the battle field in France The 360th wants to put the cry onj its new coat-of-arms. There are ob-| jections on the ground that it lacks dignity and that its literal meaning is nil. Major J. Burkett is the leading art vocate of the phrase. Describing its use in France, he said. “It was certainly blood curdling to hear some men in thr* attacking pltt

loons yell out. "The bear went over the panther bluff,' and then the entile front line would reverberate with' the cry, "Hell’s fire und u fuzzy O " Burket believes that this buttle cry wus largely responsible for the fighting qualities of the 360th: "I bsighi within/ several divisions and none of the outfits with which I (•time into contact showed nearly the spirit of enthusiastic aggressiveness that our men did when they were under fire." — ■ o-— — — — Marshall’s Will Is Probated At Indianapolis Indianapolis, June 10—Will of the Ilate Thomas R.
