MOKKIS FIS1IBEIN Football players expect to have bruises, but they may also have strains of the ligaments, fractures of the bones, and dislocations of the joints. If a player is injured on the football field, he should have immediate attention by someone competent to judge the extent and character of the injury. A- man whose legs are injured should never be permitted to walk off the field. A stretcher should always be available to carry the injured player to -medical attention. Use of a stretcher, may the audience, but it may make the dif-fenrence between success in- treatment of the injury and a long delay in healing.

Football players generally eat at a training table and are provided with special, diets. Steak and potatoes are not, the best diet for a player because he needs yi- CO JUUUU DDDDD Du New York (JP) Death at 77 has ended the fabulous career of Charles M. Schwab, the $l-a-day stake-driver who became one of America's steel titans. The white-haired onetime "strong man of first president, of the billion-dollar U. S.

Steel corporation and founder of the Bethlehem steel company, died peacefully in his Park Avenue apartment Monday night of coronary thrombosis. At his bedside were his brother, Edward, and the lalter's wife. Schwab, who returned Aug. 31 from Europe, had been in poor health since the death last January of his wife. Funeral services, his brother said, probably will be held Thursday at St.

Patrick's cathedral. Schwab's other survivors were two sisters. Mrs. David Barry and Sister Cecilia, a nun in the Carmelite monastery, Loretto, which Schwab built for the His climb to wealth, like the rise of the elder John D. Rockefeller and Henry Ford, became an industrial legend, built along the classic Horatio Alger theme of rags to riches.

The son of a wool factory mill hand, Schwab quit a $3-a-week job as a grocery clerk to take a laborer's job driving stakes in a steel plant at Braddock, owned by Carnegie Brothers and company. In the evening, the 18-year old boy studied the steel business and gave piano lessons to steelworkers' children at 50 cent an hour. In three years, he was manager of the plant at $250 a month. At 21, he married Emma Eurania Dinkey, daughter of the first steel, works chemist in the United States. Schwab soon became labor "troubleshooter" for Andrew Car 1 i tamins and mineral salts just as much as anyone else.

If the player eats a variety of foods and gets plenty of calories to replace those used up during exercise, his diet will be satisfactory. co. im tv ne Kcuviee. me. i-'l vtvn? 1 ml BETTER EQUIPMENT FOR BRAKE SERVICE 1.

'No, no, Doc like i CHARLES M. SCHWAB 1901, but two years later Schwab tore a million-dollar-a-year contract because he said he was tired of having "too many, bosses." Moved by his self -admitted mania to be the mainspi-inS of any enterprise he embarked upon, Schwab put $15,000,000 of his own money and his limitless energy in to the founding of Bethlehem steel. Jackson Warden Is Shifted To Viroqua Black River Falls, Wis. (Special Elmer Putnam, Jackson county game warden since Mr. Jonas was transferred to Lady-smith, has been transferred to Viroqua, and S.

W. Hayner, Madison, will have charge of Jackson county. Mr. Hayner has already begun his new duties. Football makes tremendous demands on the muscles of the body.

For this reason the weight of the football player should be watched carefully. If he loses weight, his diet should be supplemented with extra malted milk and other foods that are rich in calories. Players lose a great deal of water from the body both at practica and during the game. Salt is lost from the body by perspiration. Football players should be instructed to take extra salt in their drinking water.

This will prevent cramping of the legs and other muscles caused by a lack of salt in the body. For football players may suffer from the same kind of heat exhaustion and heat cramps that effect workers in industry. Most coaches forbid drinking and smoking during the training period Chief reason for the forbidding of alcohol is that it interferes with the timing that is necessary for good co-ordination.

Stassen Tuesday announced details of a farm problems conference here Friday and Saturday. War's effect on agriculture will be emphasized. Governor Stassen stressed that he did not want the conference to be construed as a political meeting.

No resolutions will be passed unless by unanimous vote of all conferees." Acceptances came from Governors Harlan J.
