F. W. Moore '93, Graduate Treasurer of the Athletic Association, has just sent over 500 footballs to the American soldiers in France as a present from the University graduates. This first consignment will be followed by others, as the demand arises.
At the request of Eliot Wadsworth '98, acting head of the American Red Cross, 4,150 members of the football "application list" have subscribed $5,500 for the purpose, the contributions ranging from $1 to $25.
