sition 20 lend valuable assistance to
the United States. Antipathy between

there has existed for years.
II is known that earnest efforts have

MEN Of FOOTBALL----R. c. ZUPPKE
BY PAUL PURMAN.


"You out here again? thought we
sent you Ia the hospital yesterday
Thus spoke the coach Of the scrubs
at Wisconsin a few years ago as he
eyed a dimlnutive bundle Of football
togs and bandages.
'You did, but I'm back again." said
The pygIny.
That was about the way the foot
ball career Of RLobert c. -zuppke, coach
at Illinois University. started.
For three years he haunted the foot
ball fields at Wisconsin but was too
small 70 make the team. although
coaches and regulars admitted that he
did not have an equal in school as
football strateglst.
And nerve-you couldn't beat him
/ for nerve. He spent half his time
| IN the hospital getting fixed up after
/ breaking his bones and tearing his
ligamenis trying to break through the
varsity line.
The same nerve. the same strategy
has followed Zuppke's career as a
coach, and under his membership I'LL
nols has become one Of the most feared
teams Of the western conference.
Zuppke has long been an advocate
Of open play. When coaching the
championship High School team at
Oak Park, ILL.,, he invented plays which
completely dumbfounded his oppon-
ents I'm east and west Variations Of
these plays were continued at Illinois
when he accepted the coaching Job
there four years ago.
Zuppke was born IN Milwaukee 80
years ago. His parents were Ger
man, but the only Prussianlsm re-
manning with the little coach Is the
football schreckllchkeit he uses
against Big Ten opponents.
In 1901 he entered Wisconsin Uni
versiiy. taking his degree there In
1903. In the fall Of that year he went
10 New York TO study art. Every sat
urday ne went 10 New Haven TO watch
the Yale team. He became acquaint-
cd with the Yale coaches and suggest
, ed a few formations for them. He be
came so popular with the Blue
, coaches and players that he was per.
, milied TO watch secret practice. ar
I honor seldom accorded 20 any hut Yal'
, letter men.
The next year Zuppke taught il
the high school at Aluskegon, Mich
and incidentally coached the football
, team which for two years was one o
the strongest In the state.
