FOOTBALL GAMES IN FRANCE

Director Anguish of Paris Division of Y. M. C. A., Makes Request for Pair of Pants. • Judging from a request made in the Paris edition of an American newspaper recently, there is going to be a lot of football played in France this fall. The Hindenburg line is not the only one that is going to be smashed over there. J. L. Anguish, director of athletics for the Paris division of the Y. M. C. A., recently asked/for a pair of football pants through the columns of a newspaper. He explained that the pair of pants was wanted to serve as a pattern from which he hopes to have .12,000 pairs made for the use of the soldiers. Inasmuch as the great football stars of the past decade from the East, West, North , and South are with the American expeditionary force abroad, there should be some real all-American games staged behind the lines soon. That is, if Mr. Anguish gets that pair of pants for a pattern.
