That is all he said. but It had a
far reaching effect. That bit OF sar.
casm caused every member Of thu
squad to make up his mind that
iZuppke wouldn't get the oDportu,

That was exactly the aim OF
Zuppke.
Star player Quit Cold.
Here is a rather extraordinary
tale that was handed me by one Of
the star players OF a big college
team. He was in the game in which
tho incident took place. .
The captain OF his team had seen
much action in the World 4 He
was in the air service and had been
decorated for bravery. He was off,
cially credited with four German
planes.
In his squad was another western
college player who was the quarter,
back on the opposing team in the
game in question. One Gay during
the war. while in the air with -four
other flyers. seven German planes
swooped down on them. The rec,
ords show that the quarterback, fly.
ing n of the American planes,
beat it. For so doing he lost his
commission.
The two players did lot meet
again until after the war. It was
on the football field in a most i'm.
portant game. The opposing team
based It's hopes largely in the quar-.
terback. The captain of the other
team had never mentioned the &c.
currcRce to his teammates. How.
ever. before the first play OF the
game, calling the quarterback by
name. he remarked:
We'll. old boy, the Huns made
YOU beat It. and you're In for a
tougher time today. The sooner You
quit. the better for you"
The quarterback carried the ball
on the first play, was tackled hard
and carried or tho field. He had
logged It once more. His team was
badly beaten without him to direct
tho play.
oh. yes, the collegians do say
things to one another. just the same
as the professionals.

played good against the locals.

AS HIS FURY GROWS

Today there will be presented to the
Secretary of State, by the Democratic
state organization of Missouri, petit
tions from fully seventy-five thousand
citizens of the state, asking for sub
mission to the referendum of bills
embodied in Governor Hyde's legisla-
tive program, involving the establish
Eaent of a political machine. devoted
to the personal interests and ambi-
tions of the Governor.
These petitions represent the larg-
est undertaking ever entered upon by
political organization in any state.
Thirteen bills are included in the ref
erendum campaign of the State COM
mittee, which means that more than
million signatures were secured by
the loyal men and women who circu-
lated the petitions in the various con-
gressional districts. The significance
Of this striking fact cannot be over
looked, for it virtually means the
Judgment of million protests against
the policies of the Republican Cover
nor, for each signature represented a
separate and distinct rotest that can
not be ignored, unless the Governor
and his political associates have be-
come totally impervious to public SEN
timent, and propose to blindly press
their way along the line of the origi-
nal intentions. That seventy-fve
thousand men and women would sign
thirteen petitions; that hundreds OF
volunteer workers in the various coun-
| ties would devote their time and en-
ergies to the circulation of the petit
tions, means something that Governor
Hyde had best observe discreetly and
prudently, else his ruin is merely a
question of brief space Of time.
In a statement issued early in the
week, the Governor devoted much eff.
! fort to a mad denunciation of the
movement, claiming that it originated
with and was pressed by certain Dem.
ocfatic office holders. remaining over
from the Gardner administration. He
Illuminated extensively, after the man
ner of man whose temper had broker
and whose purpose involved anything
and everything necessary to accomp.
lish his designs. Hypocritically ant
deceivingly, he endeavored to show
that the referendum movement would
cost the people Of the state several
hundred thousand dollars, although he
did not succeed in presenting his facts
withs sufficient clarity to enable him
