Police .Are Successful
In HaltingGambling
There are still no organized foot-
ball pools operating in Ann Arbor.
This was the finding of a survey

The Daily stated that they had not
been approached by any football pool
operators so far this year. Many of
them said that they were "reason-
ably certain" that organized gamblers
will not make an appearance here

Washtenaw - county law enforce-
ment officers, including Prosecutor
Albert Rapp, Chief of Police Norman
Cook, and Sheriff Jacob Andres,
promised before the opening of the
gridiron season that their depart-
ments would cooperate to prevent the
reappearance of pools here this year.
