EDUCATOR And
COACH ADDRESS
COLLEGE BODY
Zuppke Tells Them How the School
Athlete is Like . Canary
Bird In . Cage.

DR.. David Kinley, acting president
OF the University of Illinois, ad-
dressed the student body of Au-
gustana college in the chapel at
$3.50 yesterday afternoon. The stu
dents welcomed the visiting edu-
Gator with cheers.
In a short address he compliment
ed the organization and spirit of
the local school, and said that he
placed it in the foremost rank of
the colleges Of Illinois. He urged
the students to maintain the high
standards and ideals set for them
that Augustana might retain the
high place she has gained.
With DR.. Kinley was Coach Zup-
PIKE, who also spoke to. the students
from the coach's point of view. He
urged the athletes to work hard
In their regular college courses
and also to be careful in their &C
lions when away so as to bring
only credit to the institution. He
said in part: 1.-THE college athlete
is put in a gilded cage by the pub
lie. He proclaims most widely the
ideals OF his school because he has
been advertised in the athletic con-
tests. He is much the same as a
canary. AS long as he sings, all
right, but when he ceases to sing
the public gets a new canary"
DR.. kinley and Coach Zuppke in
spected the buildings and grounds
at Augustana, and witnessed for a
few minutes Augie's crack basket
ball team in their daily practice.
