COACHES HAVE MUCH TROUBLE Chicago. Nov. 11.— (U.RJp—The' ] season for firing football coaches . (isn't far away, and there are at' | least two Big Ten mentors who are I I slated to lose their jobs because] they failed to develop winning | teams. The alumni and student bodies at . these two schools in. question are' quick to forget a victory but they i let a defeat rankle in their souls' ffrom one football season to the I next. They want a championship] football team every season o? the I coach is incompetent and responsible for the de eats. It is refreshing to turn to two] schools in the same conference. I where a football coach doesn't have to dodge the axe 'every time his team loses a game. The schools in question are Illinois and Chicago ! which meet in their traditional i game at Urbana Saturday. Regardless of the outcome of this ' game, the season has been a com-, plete catastrophe in the matter of ! winning games as far as both teams] are concerned. But there isn't I any talk about Robert C. Zuppke. dynamic little Illinois coach, or Amos Alonzo Stagg, grand old man of the midway, losing his job during the winter, Stagg has bee nat Chicago forty years, and he has turned in winning teams until the last five years when the scholastic requirements I cut down the Maroons’ football ■ squad to smaller proportions than ' a good hjgh school aggregation.) Some one recently wrote an unsign | ed letter to the Daily Maroon, I school paper, suggesting Stagg retire, and the next day a storm of ; indignation arose from Chicago I football players, students and alum-j ni. To them Stagg can do no wrong. I Illinois, which is used to winning teams, has won only one conference game in the past two years, and the chances are the Illini won’t win but one more this season. This state of affairs naturally is dis- ! . heartening to Illinois supporters. ; but they don't seek to fire Zuppke I as a remedy for the situation. On October 24 Illinois suffered its worst football defeat under Zuppke's regime when Michigan overwhelmed the Illini, 35-0. It was homecoming day. and tradition calls for the team to play its best game on that day. After the game Zuppke said in i a speech at a fraternity gathering "One boy said to me after the game: 'Coach, were we as had as the score indicates?' I told him. no.' because that Illinois team was beaten in only one way and that was by the score. They made mistakes. they were confused, but they fought until the very end. Be- , fore I had dinner I thought they were just one step behind in everything. After dinner I think it was ! just half a step. Those boys are going to cut down that half step. ' and you'll hear from them. Maybe not this year—but next. "Illinois has been down before, and it came back. If we keep on ' losing I can't expect the alumni to come to our games. 1 believe in ■ winning our share of games with old rivals. We are working in the right direction and I think this group of boys I have now will yet be a great team.” f The following week Northwest- ' western gave Illinois another 1 drubbing. 32-6. Following the game ( Coach Dirk Hanley of Northwest- * cm. who is a close friend of Zuppke, invited the Illinois coach to remain over to see a professional game the next day. "Dick. I feel my place is with the boys.” replied Zuppke. “I can't ' quit on them now. I am going ' back with them tonight and try to help them forget these two drubbings we have taken." 1 CAPONE GROUP IS ACCUSED ’ (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) , Capone lieutenant, and six other 1 men in an investigation of the new- ' ;ly revealed kidnaping activities of 1 I the syndicate. Pat Roche, chief investigator of (the state’s attorney's office said he I believed the gang through Its con- ! nections In other midwest cities ■ was responsible for the abduction 1 and holding for ransom of at least 100 men during the past year. “We know that at least 100 men ' (have been kidnaped in this vicin- ' ity during the last year,” Roche said. "We are handicapped because] the victims are afraid to sign complaints.” He said he believed the increasI Ing pressure directed against the gang's liquor activities had directed them into the new and highly profitable kidnaping racket. Alexander G. Jamie, chief detective of the "secret six’’, revealed the investigation showed an alliance of bank bandits with Capone connections. “These men reduced bank robbery to a system,” Jamie said, j "Their loot in the past six years i totals at least 35,000,000." Leaders of the ring were Gus Winkler, now held at Lincoln. Neb., in connection with the 32,500,0001 Lincoln bank robbery and Fred : .

Ma ChansShan. whose activities] against Japanese troops have threatened the qiost serious conflict of the present far eastern crisis, was said to have pledge I himself to cease all war-like ac-: tivities. While there has never l»>en any declaration of war between Jap , anese and Chinese forces, the, possibility of a cessation of hostilities in the most threatening! area of Manchuria was considered encouraging to efforts for a permanent peace settlement.
