Everett is near the power line from Seattes Skagit
project The Bone bill provides that cities owning
municipal power plants may sell power outside their
corporate limits taxfree. If the bill passes, Seattle
would be able to sell power to Everett. And Seattle
could and would sell power to Everett at such price
that the same rates could prevail in Everett as do
in Seattle
Everett would reap great saving in light bills.
What applies to Everett also applies to Mount Vernon,
Stanwood and scores of other communities north of
Seattle.
Puyallup offers another good comparison. If the
Bone bill passes Tacoma could sell power to Puyallup
at such rate that the Puyalup rate could be lowered
to where the Tacoma rate is The table following
shows what this reduction, brought about by the
passage of the Bone bill, would mean to Puyallup:

have talked to some about their
leader. Such inspiration should net
be allowed to go by unheralde1.
A couple OF years back, when
Princeton was anxious to acquire
another championship they again
turned to Bill Roper Like the
previous time he did not fail his
Alma Mater. The 1920 Princeton
football eleven was one Of the
greatest of all time, The way they
vanquished Yale to the tune Of 20
to must have been solace to the
heartache of many Tiger alumnus.
The material at Princeton last
year was far from varsity calibre.
1t is all right for the outsider, or
even the individual connected with
the college, to look over inferior
material and call it first-claSs. To
instruct those candidates SO that
they win all Of their games is
something that is beyind the power
of any coach.
That was the proposition that
Bill Roper was up against at
Princeton in 1928. 1t is the same
proposition that has cost many
other coaches sleepless nights AMI
thankless tasks.
Most of the material Roper had
was bacEfieId stuff. Lack Of suit
able limemem cost him dearly I'm
ali of his games. Criticism that
was heaped upon his head BY
some Of the unWise ones, as well
as those that demanded q coach
win or go, was unjust TO say the
least.
The tribute that Roper received
In the final game against Yale at
New Haven was one that impressed
itself on all true sportsmen. The
fighting spirit of that Princeton
team was evidence of the respect
and love that each individual held
for his coach.
We don't know much about the
material that Roper will have on
hand next fall. We do know that
If it is at all suitable the Tigers
under the inspiring leadership of
Roper will make an impressive =
record. Past performances guide
us in these predictions. Rope
never coached a poorly coached
eleven.
Maybe they don't appreciate
Roper at Tigertown. Experts
contend that the combination of
Bill Roper and Keene Fitzpatrick
is a hard one to beat. They have,
the happy faculty Of getting every
thing possible out Of their pupils.
With this pair again al the helm
Princeton looks to be- on the road
to success, SO far as football is con-
cerned. Those who had to do with
the reappointing Of Roper are to be
congratulated. They did the sport
ing thing
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-12-25

Bill Roper is one Of the greatest
characters in collegiate sports. He
classes with the greatest Of all
time. His phenomenal success as
an instructor is due to his in
spring personality. No mentor in
any branch Of sport inspires more
confidence in his pupils than the
Tigertown coach. No person con.
1ected with athletics has a better
reputation for gentlemanly conduct
off and on the field than Roper.
He is a sportsman through and.
through. It is because of the highly
praiseworthy qualities that the
sporting world is applauding the
reappointment of this capable coach.
Princeton owes much to BiIl
Roper. Way back In 1910, when
the Tigers were in the slough Of
despair as the result Of beatings
by their Eli rivals, they turned 10
Roper to lead them out Of the
gridirOn wilderness. That year he
took the championship hOuOrs
with a team that few thought
above the ordinary at the start
Of the season.
In that outfit some Of the great
est Tiger stars of all time were
developed. Sammy White, Tai Pen
dleton, Ham Andrews, Hobby Baker,
"Bluey" Blumenthal, Tom Wilson
and others whose names are sacred
to Princeton football, were in
cluded in the personnel Of that out
fit that fought against what APP
peared to be unsurmOuntable OBJ
stacles to win aschampionship.
Ask any of those lads who was
the inspiration that caused them
to fight to victory. Each will tell
you Bill Roper. We know. We
