Zuppke Says Grange Is Deserving Os All Glory He Can Bind Champaign. 111., Nov. 24. —(Un.ted Press) —“I’d welcome another' Red Grange on my football team but I doubt if there will ever be another SIOO,OOO player.' Coach Bob Zuppke declared today as the famous sorreltopped gridiron flash became a myth to amateur athletics. "Grange wa H a wonder and he is deserving of all the honor and glory he can find "Zuppke said in an interview with the United Press. “But let me add this —our Illinois team was not a one-man machine. Grange was just one of the players and it I could find another such sterling athlete and modest gentleman. I would welcome him on my squad." Zuppke was questioned about a statement he made last night at the annual University of Illinois iootbail banquet when Grange and the other varsity players were awarded their letters. "There will never be another SIOO,OOO player on my team,” he said at the banquet and his statement was interpreted as a rebuke to Grange for turning professional. Red, himselt left the banquet with that impression. "Oh. no, I didn’t mean that." Zuppke said today. "What I meant was that it would be a long time before another player of Grange's ability came to college. If one shows up I’d like to have him at Illinois. Red left the banquet before it was over, mumbling hit) regrets at leaving ihe university hut declaring that lie would not change his mind. His famous number. "77" will be preserved as a university trophy and tradition with other football emblems and will never be awarded to another Illinois athlete.
