Sloppy Field  Prevented Use of Several Plays Saline Wanted to Use
in Game Friday Afternoon.
By Bob Dieterle
The weatherman decided that Saline shouldn't break into tlie win column yet and as a result our boys
suffered another defeat. It was much
better weather for ducks than for
a football game but the officials
wouldn't call it off. It rained so
hard that water stood on the field
while the game was being played.
Last week I told you that Saline
would give a good account of themselves this week but I thought they
would have a dry field to play on.

Saline use requires a dry field.

their running game was getting results and so they didn't try any
passes either.
. The opening of the second half did
not show much improvement and the
two teams battled up and down the
field, with Roosevelt crashing through
for a touchdown in the third period
and one in the closing minutes of the
fourth quarter. Neither kick after
touchdown was successful and Roosevelt won 31 to 0.
The Saline eleven fought hard but
they were under serious handicaps

MILES  C.  BRISTOL
Miles Clinton Bristol, 40 years old.
of Dearborn, leader in traffic safety
work of the Automobile Club of Michigan until two years ago, died at
University hospital Thursday night
after a lingering illness.
The first employe in the safety division of the automobile club in 1926,
Mr. Bristol was active in safety patrol and education work in the
schools, all phases of traffic surveys
and the establishment of traffic test
lanes.
An expression of appreciation of his
work was voted Friday night by of-
cialsof the local club. He was a member of Acacia fraternity here.—Ann
Arbor Daily News.
Mr. Bristol was a cousin of Sim.
R. Wilson, Jr., and had visited Saline
many times, both in line with his
work and to visit the Wilson family.
Two years ago he was stricken with
tuberculosis and entered Howell sanatorium for treatment. Mr. and Mrs.
Wilson visited him four weeks ago,
on his birthday anniversary, and at
that time he was hopeful of leaving
the institution for good within a couple of weeks, cured.
Funeral services were held at Bay
City Sunday afternoon, where his
mother, Mrs. O'Lena Bristol lives.
He is survived also by his widow and
two small children.

Dr Wallace, as chairman of the \ iu-

topic "Value of Athletic Sports in the
High  School Program.'
Coach Rock began by naming different important values such as citizenship, physical and educational in
general. Under the. citizenship value
such things as sportsmanship, courtesy, self-conjtrol, loyalty' and spirit
were mentioned as Very'worthy attributes to seek after. For the physical side the fact that a physical
examination is required before the
boy can enter inter-school competition is a decided value in itself. In
addition athletics will develop vigor
and interest in all sports. Another
great value stressed was that some-

too in which the program of athletics
was a means of correction of defects.
Possibly one of the finest values to>
be- derived is that the program will
provide something to fill that large
amount of leisure time which a great
many boys have while outside of
school hours and nothing to do. The
big problem of recreation has its
origin in the fact that so many are
idle unless some program of sports is
provided.
Finally the specific educational values such as the development of leadership, lisarning- to follow niles, developing ability to diagnose and the
breaking down of racial prejudices,
all have a definite place in an athletic
program and receive much attention. '*
