Yost, the veteran coach of the University of Michigan football teams. "In the game of football or of life, It Isn't the hands or the feet which succeed. It's the heart. "If you want to Judge a man put him in n football game. I read men by football. It is my work and my pleasure. "A youth on a football field Is Just like a hero In a motion picture, whose every movement forms the basis of a drama. When I take candidates for a foot ball team and coach them, I am pre paring them for the gridiron—and for life. "Real character surges through the artificial cloaks with which they are hidden when men find themselves on the football field. 'We live our lives but once and football forms the slggest Incident In the careers of many men. "I can watch a boy on the gridiron three years and tell you what kind of a man he will make. "Ty Cobb would have been Just as great as a football player. The de sire and ability to be great—the grit, determination, physical and moral courage would have carried him through Just the same. Any of our great men would have succeeded on the football field." Note in Coffin Warns Man Enemy Will "Get" Him Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 28. ln the gathering dusk, George Williams, a negro employed by the Atlantic Ice and Coal Company, approached his home of Sims street, in Pittsburg. He was whistling, for he had worked hard and there was nothing to do till to-morrow. As he entered his hall way his foot struck against something and he stooped down to see what the object was. And then he got fright ened. It was a coffin. A miniature, It's true, for it was only about a foot long by four Inches wide. But the shape of the box left no doubt In Williams' mind as to Just what the box was in tended to represent. Taking it into the house to look over more closely he saw that there was a note scrawled on some manila paper attached to the coffin. The note threatened Williams' family with extinction, and whoever wrote It de clared that he had traveled thousands of miles over land and sea to "get" the family.
