the romantic adventures of the little

BOGUS SCfiOOL COACH
JAILED AT QUITMAN
QUITMAN, Jan. 17.—The young
J would-be athlete, going under the
I lame of J. W. Knight, and posing
’as bgsketbail coach for the local i
thigh .school, is now back in Quit- j
' nan, and will doubtless not beat [
| any more board bills, as he is now I
| esiding in the brick house with tall [
■ windows where Sheriff Clanton pre- !
j sides as host.
Two weeks ago he blew into
Quitman and went to Mrs. M. F.
' Underwood’s home for board. This
he secured, posing as the new bas
ketball coach for the Quitman High
school, where he was unknown. He
would have easily been mistaken for
a coach, since he wore a college
sweater with a large ‘P’ on the
front. He claimed he was a student ■
iat Penn State.
