Out of the West, tomorrow,
comes cred" Grange.
And with him Bob Zuppke,
maker of champions,
Most every one knows Grange.
He's a sort of Babe Ruth of foot
ball, breaking into the public
prints with every shifting of the
ice cakes in his famous Wheaton
ice house.
Not so many people know
Zuppke.
But Bob Zuppke was at Illinois

Grange has faded into the mists OF

s. Zuppke. first off, is one Of the
few coaches in the country who
never won a varsity letter or heard
the cheering stands shouting his
name across the hazy mist OF an
October gridiron. During his col
lege days he was a mere Subst1-
tnte--a chopping block for varsity
players who strobe to glory across
his PROSTATE form buried in the
mud and clay of the practice field.
But he was a student. too. study
ing and learning the intricacies OF
Q game which was his life.
Today Bob ZuppIxe stands forth
rs one of the greatest, most sue.
eessfuI. coaches in the Western
conference. In his career at Hill
nOis he has turned out many
cllampiOns-and he never has
turned out a really bad eleven.
The secret of his coaching, he

Illinois, winning it's conference
championships and fighting Its
glory across many an antumn-time

can recall the names Of half

teams victorious. That proves
Zuppke's penchant for team work.
Zuppke is a football student, as

fortunately the Illinois team this
year is not up to the standard OF
other years. The line Is green; the
ends lacking in football finesse:
Grange, only mediocre.
And in Penn they face team
of destiny.drunk with its own
power and armed with a dream Of
greatness as vet unshattered. Penn
should win. But they will have
nc walk-away.
Given a dry field, the Illini will
make trouble-and the intrepid
Grange will make plenty exercise
for a sterling Penn defense.
Other Eastern games are perhaps
more important from the standpoint
of football comparison. Other games
may perhaps be harder fought, with
closer scoring and more scintillating
play.
But none will have more color
than that Penn-Illinois meeting.
For Red Grange will be there to
show his speed to an Eastern fan

And Bob Zuppke-gray haired,

rest; but arrests have become less numerous us drivers have cultivated moro intelligent regard for the amenities of downtown travel.
 The approach of a woman tfund- ling baby carriage usually is sign for all high grade traffic cops to take particular notice, When such women, or the aged and in- firm want to cross the street traffic is halted with q vengeance. This, of course. is as il should be. Every traffic custodian s affected with some degree of sentiment under such circumstaces, and the innocent baby gets all the rights while the fond parent rushcs the progeny be- tween the curbs. Not moment be- fore the baby cab is safely ensconc- ed upon the sidewalk again are the impatient motors permitted 10 proceed.
 There is strain about trulhc coping that the general public sometimes fails to appreciate; at least the strain Is as severe as mo- toring through the downtown streets. But whereas the motorist does not remain where the traffic Is thickest, the hardworking traffic boss is in the thick of 1t all day. Watching human nature from such point Of vantage must be quite uplifting-or the reverse. One can not help wondering what a traffic cop thinks about. provided he has any time for thinking.

 Corporation stores nt mines l, ? and near here were raided nnr- ing the night by 1.50o strikers. The com pany's loss from several similar rads in the district was said to ex- ceed s1o0,oo0. ,m
 Up to the renewal of the lootings there were signs that the three clergymen. who yesterday addressed the miners, had succeeded in calm. ing inc men. The preachers saved from lynching 24 police. who had taken refuge in the jail after the New Waterford power plant battle. One miner was slain and two score wounded in the New Waterford en- counter. The power plant vas Vir' tually wrecked.
 Troop trains yesterday were pelted ,,.;th ,ocks in Sydney. The troops, however, were auartered on com pany property without further incl-. dent.
 The strike was brought on by the United Mine Workers of America l" weeks ago when negotiations TOT new wage agreement deadiocked De- cause of the company's demand Tor a 10 per cent wage reduction and the miners demand for 10 per cent increase.

TRAFFIC ITCHING

New Britain traffic cops are acc cumulaling a technic that, if it doesn't inspire awe, at least stimu- lates admiration,
 Time was when traffic cops new to the job, looked as awkward as Charlie Chaplin doing shuffle with No, Ills. Their hands had the motion of a man during the early hours of the morning after the night before. Occasionally they used strong language when some dumb bell driver or petriticd pedestrian forgot the rules.
 But the situation has changed. The Apollos at the crossings nowa- days operate with the automatic psrfection of machinery, An arm goes LID and the palms are extend ed. or there is a vigorous jerk or the thumb-and all is well at the "eross here" territory. There is a word - yes, it's "nonchalance' which is the appropriate nomencla- t,re in this connections the cops exercise the quintessence of non- .halance in doing their duty They ire so accustomed to raising their ,rms-first one and then the other that some of them must act thai way in their sleep. The bargello on commercial street must feel greatly uleased upon noting the military machine-like movements of hi' minious.
 The day Of astringent tanguaG' coming from traffic cops likewise i' no more. It no longer seems neces' sary to "cuss" at a driver who iaii' to stop when the whirling sign on' the cops motion indicate such ac tinn is necessary.

AUTO FATALITIES

Fatal automobile accidents in and near New Britain last year were among the lowest in the state; it is unfortunate that the same record apparently will not be possible this year The past few months have produced too many of such fataIi- ties.
 The second such fatality within a week in or near New Britain oc- cured yesterday as the Herald's news columns portrayed. Both ac- .cidents were of an unusual sort, one woman in Berlin being killed while standing upon the sidewalk: and in the case of yesterday a child be- ing killed while playing with an- other upon the private driveway leading through schooIyard. In the latter case the driver. an IS year old youth, was stated by police to have lacked an operators license. although employed as driver of a truck.
 About q month ago a woman and her daughter died as the result of injuries received when struck by an automobile on West Main street. Sometime previous to that time child was killed on Arch street, the automobile driver who was adjudg- ed bIamelcss, having had a license although being only r years of age.
 This is no attempt 10 fix blame in regard 10 the accident yesterday, nor 10 reflect an opinion regarding the others. The authorities are sup posed to look after such things. The fact that they occurred, however, should bring about a tightening of bG tlil ilbIS tlit l4AA%t pAilc'' D all citizens alike. Quincy, Mass, had record of no fatal accidents throughout an entire year by simply inculcating an intensive spirit of carefulness among all citizens, and the same result could be brought about here. The fact that youths under age can operate automobiles by merely obtaining a license, ant that youths operate them without having a license indicates clearly that the safety spirit in the city ha' not been fully developed. This spiri of course also includes pedestrians and the inculcation of safety princi ples among children.

 Washington, June 1S -- The presi- dential job often is referred to as mankiler. The vice presidency gen. orally is considered something of sinecure. .n
 It seems to have occurred to mo- body that, with Thomas R' Mar shalrs death. the country has as many living ex-prssidents left as ex-yice presidents -- that is to say, one of each, respectively Chief Jus tice Taft and President Coolidge.
 This gives rise to the guess, either that the vice presidency must be more wearing than was popularity supposed, or that some deadly quail ity other than the work involved turks in both the chief magistracy and its understudy's post.
 The fact is, though we have had what we called young presidents and vice presidents, they were young only for the high offices they held. After a term or two, most Of them were pretty well on in this life and not far from the getting off place into the next.
 Ex-vice President Marshall was one of the most popular statesmen Washington ever has known. He never took himself too seriously Affable and easy of approach, his circle of friends was enormous. His humor antiseptic but heal ing was delightful. His oft 1 quoted remark during the post war reconstruction period, with everybody telling what the country needed, Tt needs a good 6-cen cigar" was typical of him.
 Frivolous, as 1t fell on the ear it was packed with meaning or analysis, a meaning the man in th' street could understand.
 Marshall wasn't the type of poll tician to wait until he knew ''hop the wind blew" before making ul his mind. He made it up in advance and regardless of the wind, and re vealed 1t with a frankness whicl mortified his party's more cautious ly inclined.
 He never broke himself of thi habtt. He never tried.

to the mind of the boy or girl but they could be made much more at- If properly laid out. graded and equipped with playground Rp- paratus. The land Is at the head of High street and could be used by children living in the most thickly congested section of the city. It would serve largo neishborhood and would be godsend 10 parents who never know when their little ones will be brought home from the streets maimed by automobiles.
 Besides being equipped for play ground purposes, efforts should be made to convert 1t into a community park where adults could gather on warm afternoons and evenings and enjoy the fresh air which Is so much appreciated after a day in the fac- tory. There is no reason why fath- CTS and mothers should find 1t neces- sary to walk all the way to Walnut Hill park evenings or on Sundays m order to enjoy a respite from their daily toll. The city could change large section of the land now owned by the school department into q splendid summer community center and could erect suitable and desir- able buildings for the purchase of refreshments as we'll as a bandstand for concerts.
 Whether the board of education would be willing to transfer title or whether this step would be neces- sary Is not known. But 1t Is worth Investigating. A fifth ward park would be very desirable. The ex- pense of converting the land into q park would be comparatively light.
