Why the Football Squad Laughed.

Those who were there when this Incident happened some twelve years ago never tire of telling the following yarn on I. 1. Cammack, assistant superintendent of schools: ■ Professor Cammack was vice principal of the Central high school in 1900 or thereabouts and the athletic moventent had led to the formation of a football sQUkd. The ambitious were led to one of the study halls on a Friday afternoon, where Professor Cammack addressed them after this sash? ion: “I am glad to see you boys here and pleased to notice that you are taking an interest In athletics. I think it Is a line tiling to be interested in healthful sports. Football will give you confidence. We need boys and men of confidence in this country. In fact, I want td make confidence men out of all of you.” Perhaps the genial professor is wondering to this day why the football •quad broke into loud laughter.—Kansas City Journal.
