THREE COACHES AT
ILLINOIS HOLD LEAD

The victory Of Illinois over Ohio
state certainly proved the resource
fuiness Of Coach zuppke.
Zuppke has had great success
since coming to Illinois. one must
consult his record TO get an idea OF
his real ability.
In the nine years Zuppke has been
a. Illinois he has won three confer
ence championships and has once
tied for the honor.
During his regime his teams have
played AZ conference games, 20 OF
which were won, 10 lost and tied.
This means zuppke has won 6S per
cent Of his games.
The record OF Athletic Director
George Hun is even more remark
able. In the "a years he has coach
ed baseball at Illinois. his teams
have played 2S9 games.
Baseball teams coached by Hut
have won the conference cham
pionships IL times and tied for IL
once His teams have won 2la
games. lost 73 and tied 3.
Harry Gill. track coach. has been
equally successful OF the "a con-
ference dual meets In which his
teams have taken part, he has won
67. lost 5 and tied !.
II Is questionable n any western
conference college can boast OF hav'
ing three coaches with records equa
10 the Illinois mentors.

BILLY EVANS SAYS:

days later Walter Johnson was treat
ed to a similar dose Five OF six
years ago It was calamity for such
n thing TO happen to either OF the
two great stars II merely proves.
however, that no matter how good
you are in any business. there comes
a time In your career when you start
going the other way. However,,
Johnson and Alexander are still great
pitchers. who are far from through.
II Is surprising the hold that goif
has on most ball players. In fact.
some managers are not very strong
for the morning or IS holes. which
lot OF thier players indulge IN.
They insist II takes some of the snap
out OF their afternoon work on the
bah field. AS In baseball. most OF
the players get the real enjoyment
In driving. Babe Ruth says a driv-
er Is the only style club he carries
In his bag. The short game hasn't
much Of an appeal to the ball plag-
ers.
The other day someone asked me
what I thought OF Frankie Frisch OF
the New York Giants Most any
one would be perfectly safe in an
swering that Frisch was wonder
ful player. I am going 20 say that
much about him, and then a little
more.
Frisch Is one OF the fastest men In
the game. He has a wonderful
throwing arm. However. he IS far
from a finished fielder. lie seldom
handles a ground ball cleanly. He
knocks them down. sometimes kickf
them around. but his great speed
and wonderful arm always save him
Frisch does practically all his slid

great base runners still using thai

for injury. Hal Chase was a greai
ball player who simply could no

NEWARK. Dec. 5.-University OF
Delaware seniors spilled the "dope't
in their annual game with the fac
ulty team on Frazer Field Saturday
afternoon when they held the
"profs" 20 a 10 tie score.
The seniors scored their touch
down early in the hrst quarter. The
faculty had kicked OF to the seniors
2o-yhrd line and after couple OF
plays the studepts fumbied, the ball
going TO the faculty on the seniors
25-yard line. The faculty by line
piunging made a first down. but
failed to make any substantial gain
on the next several plays. The fac
ulty then tried a forward Dutch
earn. captain OF the seniors. inter
cepted the pass and started for tho
faculty goal Coach Shiplcy, who
played fuliback on the faculty team,
was the only opponent between CARL
and the goal and when he missed
him. the little senior with good In
terference had no trouble in COM
pleting a touchdown. The run was
for SIS yards.
The seniors had the best OF the
first half from every standpoint.
Several times they started a march
down the field with the ball and
while they got within striking dis
tance did not have the punch TO put
over another touchdown.
In the second half the weight OF
the faculty eleven began to tell and
they had the seniors on tho defen-
slve most OF the time. Near the end
OF the third quarter the "profs' by
line plunginE pushed the ball over
Sergeant Davis making the touch
down.
Coach shipiey and Sergeant Davii

for the seniors. did the best work
carrying the ball. Dr. Manns, wh'

game. and marvolcd az his great
work. While not a husky player,
Aldrich seems able to do all the
things a bigger man can do. and
stand up under the strain.
He is fleet Of foot Picks his spots
with excellent judgment. Can hit
the line almost as we'll as he can
skirt the ends. H. can throw or
receive the forward pass. lie is a
fine drop kicker. also punter. He
showed this in the Princeton game
by contributing two beautiful field
goals from drop kicks Those six
points were Yaies margins Of vic
tory.
In the Princeton game. Aldrich
played remarkable football. am
sorry 1 didn't get a chance TO see
him against Harvard. He was even
more brilliant in that battle
Here Is the comment OF one OF the
best known footbal critics In the
east on the worth OF Aldrlch;
'Aldrich is the greatest backheld
man OF all time except Ned Mahan.
That statement includes 80 years OF
observation. lie is greater than
Coy, Thorpe. Barrett. Oliphant.
Thorne. Osgood. Weeks. Eckersall.
Stevenson. Casey, Davies. Butter
worth. Killlnger and Hollenback.
That Is certainly some praise
coming from an expert who has
been looking over eastern football
for 30 years. However. on what
Aldrich showed me in the Yale
Princeton game. I would say Il waf
justified.
Aldrich Is not only a football star
but equally great at baseball Il Is

Castner Is left-handed. but can use

based.its hopes largely in tho quar-
terback. The captain Of the other
team had never mentioned the oc-
.currence 10 his teammates. How
ever before tho first play OF the
game, calling the quarterback by
name, he remarked:
well. old boy the Huns made
you beat Il, and you're in for a
tougher time today. The sooner you
quit the better for YOU"
The quarterback carried tho ball
on the first play. was tackled hard
and carried OF the field. He had
dogged It once more. His team was
badly beaten without him to direct
the play.
oh. yes, the collegians do say
things to one another. just the same
as the professionals.
