 What kind of fellow is this Red Grange off the football field 2" Thousands and thousands of fans know Red" Grange as a gridiron star because of his remarkable ex- poits at the University of Illinois, but few know him as the college student, the plain human being.
 Since the opening of the football season l have kept busy telling about Grange as I know him in civilian togs.
 Hes regular fellow, quiet, I'm assuming, yet confident Of his greatness without the slightest ego. Among the student body he is a universal favorIto. Not simply be cause he Is footballs outstanding star, the Babe Ruth of the gridiron as far as packing a scoring punch, for all star athletes are not popular at college.
 still Modest Young Man
 IL is customary for most athletes who are showercd with praise like Grango to get an inflated opinion Of their own importance. That imme- diately lakes away from their great ness, lessons their popularity.
 "Rcd" Grange, the junior, All America halfback, is the same chap that enrolled as a freshman at Illi- nois three years ago If anything his fame has made him even more retiring
 He is just the sort of chap who, is some admirer approached with am Mir. Smith, as an opening wedge to pay homage to his hero, would probably reply:
 Glad o meet you, Mir. Smith; my name is Grange"
 At Illinois there are many fair co-cds. A majority of them arc hero worshipers when it comes to athletic greatness. IL is easy tO draw picture of what date book 1 Grange could have if he so desired. Red Instructs Kid Brother While far from woman -hater, 1 Grange holds no records as the , "cQllege- fusscr" He isn't taking a matrimonial course al Illinois He | there 10 study and play his part in the athletic life of the university.
 Just at present Grangc's biggest hobby is imparting his knowledge of football to his kid brother. We would say that young man was very fortunate in having so talented an instructor. Does Grange think very well of the youngstcr? Listen,
 The kid IS a better footbal player than I Was at his age. miss my guess if ho doesn't dc every hing a litte better than have ever been able to do it,
 A choice bit Of praise from 2 player who is the talk O. thr foot. ball world. And "Rrd" insists he isn't letting his brother.y ccoiugs in. fiuence his opinion.
 T;atcs High in Studies
 Grange is rated a "B' student a the University of Illinois. The sys tenn Of grading al that instltuIior rates "A as perfect, "I." as failure The varying degrees O proncienc! ranging from "A" 10 E."
 What does Grange study a Illinois?
 If this will enlightrn you, he is student in tho Liberal Arts course This semester he is taking a course in economics covering foreign com merce and commercial policies, con tinental European history. history O ! Greece, geology public speaking anc physical education work.
 Hes a real student" his prof say.
 He's real football player" say. ! Coach Zus uspko.
 Hes a regular guy if there evei was one" shouts the student body.
