The ends are headed by another hot sophomore, Paul Milosevich. The fabulous Florence Alphonse (Flip) Anders, a colored Bill De Correvont in high school, is now | an end and will be valuable if he gets eligible. The rest of the ends are experienced and satisfactory. | Like most Illinois teams of recent | vears, it isn't impressive on paper | but it possesses a tremendous asset in that it is backed up by the magic of Zuppke. “I think we are a little too slow | on the charge,” he says carefully, ‘or we might have a good team. If we can find some tackles we will be | better. an “I'm getting tired of developing | a reputation as a defensive coach. Give me some good boys and you'll | be hearing about our offense again.” | The little man who built a baf-| fling offensive around one ball carrier (Grange) and 10 blockers and who invented the “flea flicker.” and | “the man on the flying trapeze,” | would dearly love to come up with | a scoring machine again. Several ‘Naturals’

{ “This squad is more coachable| than some others,” he remarked. | “It is more responsive to what I tell | ‘em. There are several natural football players on it. I'm not afraid to shift their positions. A] natural football player catches on quick at any position.” { Somehow the conversation veered to the subjiect of light men. No conversation with the electric Zuppke ever stays on one subject for long. : “Light players? Don’t weigh ‘em, play ‘em. Some time for fun I'd like to have a backfield with one big boy to block and back up the line, and three Nick Wasyliks to pass and run. Wouldn't that be something? That Wasylik was the most elusive back I've seen in years, and a little fellow, especially for Ohio State.” There is one thing certain about this or any other Illinois team. Some time during the season it will either upset, or darned near upset, some very good opponent. Last vear, with Brewer and Bernhardt on the bench, the Illini lost, 14 to 6, to Notre Dame, but neither Irish score was the result of a sustained drive. In the same game, an Illinois back had a clear field to score and was so slow that he was caught from behind. Zuppke coaches by instinct, a deep-rooted artist's instinct, born of great imagination. He sees each play as an artistic pattern in his photographic mind. He has a great sense of rhythm and composition.

Marvin and Coffield Paired in Mat Bout

“The veteran Tom Marvin, 217, well known “meanie of the mat” returns for action at the Armory next Tuesday night where he will see semi-windup action against Jim Coffield, 220, Kansas City, Mo. Coffield is the grappler who ended a long winning streak of Otto Kuss three years ago. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter is sending Dorve (Tron Man) Roche, 222, Decatur, Ill, against Abe (Half| Pint) Coleman, 206, rugged New Yorker, in the top tussle.

Hitler Role Put

Into Shaw Play

LONDON, Sept. 23 (U. P.).— George Bernard Shaw is réwriting and bringing up-to-date his play Geneva, and as part of it will now call one of his leading characters Hitler instead of, as in the original version, Battler. Roy Limbert, who hopes to produce the revised play at Cambridge Oct. 20, said today: “In the play the German dictator appeared as Battler. As there was no mistaking who this man was, I do not see why we should not be frank about it in war time and make up the actor | in uniform and with a mustache.”

The Old Doctor, as Kearns is known to the fight crowd, is a local resident these days; he’s fixed himself up a truck farm out in the country and at intervals he comes

to the city to dabble in fight pro-|

motions. He still looks pretty good. He is tall and slender and is waging a losing fight against baldness. He isn't exactly in the chips any more —+this colorful manager of the early Twenties who took more than a million dollars out of the ring— but he is as dapper as ever. He is gallant in his social pretenses and noble in the economic front he maintains but those days when he was a ball of fire in the speakeasies and the night clubs and when his hotel suite bubbled with gaiety and grape are gone and they aren't likely ever to return.

On Grand Scale But the Old Doctor will always be remembered as 50 per cent of the greatest fighting combination the heavyweight division ever had. In his own way Kearns was just ahout as picturesque as Dempsey. He operated on a grand scale in everything he did. He was the first ever to talk about million-dollar gates. This was when Dempsey was matched with Carpentier. It is popularly believed that Kearns outsmarted himseif when he forced a

“Rickard He had

no idea the fight would even come we got along great until he got|

|close to a million. In consenting to | the agreement he thought he was merely humoring me.” | One of the dramatic Dempsey {legends had it that the Old Doctor had picked him up in a saloon. “That’s right,” he admitted, “ex cept I didn't pick him up. He picked me up. I had a couple of little | fighters at the time, Red Watson {and Marty Farrell, and I was stand[ing at the bar in Al White's saloon lin Oakland and I got into an argument with some big guy who was belittling my fighters.

It Was All In Fun

Pretty soon we were throwing punches and in no time there was & general rough house with everybody in the saloon participating. One fellow was winning all the fights, a fellow with a cap, a sweater and a turned up bulldog nose. When it was over practically everybody had been flattened and this young fellow stood in the middle of the shambles laughing. ‘Hell, this is fun,’ he said. “When I say he picked me up I mean it literally because I had been flattened myself. He knew who I was, knew I managed fighters, anyway, and he asked me if I was hurt. My only interest at the moment was

jour association. He started fight[ing for me shortly after that, and

{married and decided to retire for a while.”

For years Dempsey and Kearns |did not speak and when he came out {of retirement to lose his champion(ship to Tunney he was under a new {management. Tt's a long story why [they finally split, but it is tied up {basically with Dempsey’s marriage |to Estelle Taylor, the cinema lovely. “I wanted him to wait two years and then retire undefeated and with all the money he'd ever need,” said Kearns. "Of course this wasn’t an entirely unselfish desire, because I was sharing in the money. Just the same I had three fights in mind that would have drawn a hatful and I hated to see him pass them up.”

The reader may be interested to learn the first of these three fights was to be with Harry Wills, whom Dempsey has been erroneously charged with avoiding. “That would have been the softest touch of all,” insisted the Old Doctor. “He would have polished off Wills in two or three heats.” Tunney and a return with Tommy Gibbons were the other two fights and Kearns tells you the Dempsey of that time wouldn't have had any trouble winning.

Mr. Cordier, a professor of contemporary European history, stopped here en route back to school after several months’ study in Europe, during which he visited all the countries involved in the war and interviewed several of their leaders. “All through the summer there was an absence of hope among the statesmen and diplomats that war could be avoided.” he declared. “But the people in all countries, Russia, Germany, England, France and Poland remained hopeful to the very last. “Then when war came they went into it with weary hearts.
