Schools Dropping Football.

That football has practically been eliminated from the curriculum of Indiana high schools is the annoucement of Professor Leffele, prominent in high school athletics in this state, who says that the ban has been placed on the game by the authorities in a large majority of the towns and cities. One hundred letters, asking for dates, have been met with the statement that teams have disbanded and very few schedules will be attempted. This action of the Indiana school authorities is believed to be due to the many injuries received by the students.— Journal.
