PURPLE STILL
SEEKS COACH
Students at Northwestern university
are disappointed that Robert Zuppke,
who was being considered by the unl
versity authorities as the next purple
coach, has signed with Illinois. A poll of the fraternities recently held gave
Zuppke almost unanimous support
Many of th students feel that Zuppkes loss was due to dilatory action on
the part of the committee in charge of the selection of a new coach. Since
the announcement of Coach C. K.
Hammett's resignation applications
have come in by the score and it was known that the committee in charge was considering the Oak Park coach. Next to Zuppke the choice of the stu
dents is Cunningham of Princeton.
