PROMINENT FOOTBALL COACHES SELECT HONOR LIST FOR 1»14 The January OUTING gives a Foot ball Honor List, that is, a. selection of all the prominent football coaches of the country. That this manner of selecting the best players is much favored as against the selection of an All Star Eleven by one man is shown by an article by Alonzo A. Stag, Athletic director at the University of Chicago, in the University Daily. He says, "It is ridiculous for one man to attempt the selection of an All Star Football Eleven. It is diffi cult for a coach to choose the best | men for his own team. The nearest approach to justice that could be [done, would be to Invite the experts lof each University, to send in their own individual selections and make a ! composite of the players so named. This is exactly the method OUTING adopted four years ago and which has been followed each year. The OUTING is the result of direct select ions made of the Coaches of the differ ent Universities.

Jennings is believed to be the man whom Ban Johnson referred to when he declared, just before leav ing New York for home, that the name of the new manager of the Highlanders would cause something of a surprise in baseball. Captain Huston, who is to be as isociated with Colonel Ruppert in the ownership of the Highlanders, was brought into close touch with Jennings last week by John McGraw.

PNEUMONIA CAUSE OF TOO MANY DEATHS Dr. Dixon Discusses the Great Win ter Scourge and How to Avoid the Illness Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State commis sioner of health, is out with a warning against pneumonia. There is nothing that is a greater menace in winter time than this disease and the com missioner gives advice how to avoid It. "This is the season when pneumonia becomes the chief ally of death and slaughters thousands. During the changeable weather when winter sets in and again in the Spring, it's great est toll is exacted. "Pneumonia is a ger,m disease; the minute organism which causes it is called by physicians the penumococcus. It is to a certain extent contagious. However, these germs' are sometimes found in the throat of perfectly heal thy persons. When the bodily resist ance of the individual becomes lowered through physical exhaustion and this is followed by exposure in poorly ventilated rooms, offices, crowded street cars, local railroad trains or ill ventilated theaters which are hot beds for the infection, pneumonia is apt to result. "Cold itself is not directly a factor. In the. Arctic regions the germ does not exist in the pure frigid air. This points to one of the secrets for avoid ing the disease; seek fresh air for pneumonia is found where it is for bidden. and sleep with the windows open. "Men have more of a tendency to the disease than women because of the additional exposure to impure air and hardships which they must endure Alcoholism is a factor in many cases. The man who indulges in much alco hol is apt to reduce his power of re sistance and thereby become suscepti ble. "Great fatigue should be avoided if possible for It Is a predisposing factor in lessening the natural resistance to this and other disease. If you are ex posed to rough weather and get wet and cold, take a rub down with a coarse towel and change to dry cloth ing. Above all avoid stuffy, ill-venti lated places where crowds congregate. "Many people consider it impossible to follow this advice at -this season of the year when the holiday rush is on. Because it is or seems to be impos sible for thousands of our workers to observe these precautions, the grim figures will head tho mortality tables for December."
