Roper Voices Opinion
DILL ROPER, the Princeton
- coach whose team was put on
the pan last year by some Harvard
boys for the way they played, is
like Rockne. He doesn't turn his
collar around when he is talking
about football He was game
enough to invite lot of razzing
recently when he ordered all his
football players to report to the
boxing coach.
The boxing coach at Princeton
is Monte Mum, former All.Amer-
lea tackle, a Nebraska legislator
and heavyweight fighter of note.
He came to Princeton from West
Point, where he had been teaching
the cadet football players the man
ly art of fist swinging. 1t was re-
ported that his position was abol-
ished at the military academy
when the annual football game
with the Navy was called off.
