The Grand Old Man

The Grand Old Man
 An energetic press agent advises me that the first huddle of the 1881 football season is on. He tells me that Amos Alonzo Stagg, the grand old man of intercollegiate football, is shaping his fall strat- egy because this is the year Chi cago plays Yale, the grand old mans alma mater.
 Blue will clash with Maroon October 17 In Chicago. Besides being the first midwestern invasion ever made by an Eli team, 1t will mark the first meeting on the gridiron of Yale and Chicago. It was not possible for me to be around in the late '80s of the previous century. but if 1t had been l would have made 1t a point to watch the performance of young Lon Stagg at end on the
 Yale eleven. I am told that he was a combination of Eckersall, Booth. Oosterbaan. Grange and Fesler. He became a member of the first all-America eleven ever selected in 1888. The selection was that of the late Caspar Whit ney, whose choices were contin- ued by the late Walter Camp. Stagg also made Camps first team In 1889. Forty Years on One Job \ I am informed that the Chicago Yale game will commemorate the grand old mans 10th year of coaching on the Midway. At this point 1t Is we'll to mention that Stagg actually began his coaching career at Springfield Y. college two years before he came west to ac- cept the Chicago post.
 Would that I had been a Chi- cago student when this clean-liv- ing young athlete came west to make his name. The season of 1892 had started when he arrived on the scene. Only 15 aspirants answered his call for the football team, so he found 1t necessary to play q backfield position himself.
 It would be worth a lot now to have seen those first Chicago games against high school teams of the district. One of them was played in public park where a mounted policeman tried to keep the crowd back and when Stagg scored a touchdown the rival team charged him with using the cop and his horse for interference.
 Parade of Stars
 As the Stagg character, tradition and technique grew. so developed Chicago football to keep pace with him. Here was a new type of football coach who stood alone among the swearing, none too gen. tic mentors of his day who hired their own players. took them along from college to college and had little regard for sportsmanship. character building or college tra- dition.
 With the success of stagg. the parade of Maroon stars got under way. At the head marched Ecker- sail and Pat Page and Wally Stef! fen and Hugo Bezdek. Eckie is dead now; Page has gonc back to help tho grand old man; Judge Steffen Is advisory coach at Car negie Tech: Bezdek, after years of coaching. is dean of athletics at Penn State. An All-Star Team
 These were the men who Ab. sorbed the teachings of Stagg and carried them to great heights. yet none of them made his only all-

BRUTUS SHIFTS
T0ZOO QUIET

Visitors to the National zoologi
cal Park this summer are going
to miss the 11oblest and, for that
matter, oldest Roman of them
all, for Brutus, oldest lion in
captivity, has been pensioned and
will no longer be on exhibition in
his cage at the lion house.
Is Most Interesting
Brutus is, perhaps, the most
interesting animal in the ZOO col.
lection from a public standpoint
at least, and for 10, these many
years has been the object Of ad-
xniratiOn of adults, as well as
the thousands of children who
visit the park daily.
Ordinarily :. lions life does not
exceed more than IS years, but
BrutuS has been at the ZOO park
fully that long and was not a
young lion when he was added
to the collection. AS far as can
be determined, Brutus is about
90 years old, and while still able
to take his regular rations, is
showing the marks of age, and
has been given a cozy cage in
the zoo hospital.
Has Earned FurlOugh
DIR. william M. Mann, director
Of the zoo, said he felt Brutus
has earned his furlOugh and until
the old fellow passes on to what
the lion terms his own happy
hunting ground, he will live the
life of Riley.
incidentally, Brutus has sired
many a young lion who has de-
lighted thousands and in many
Zoos throughout the country his
passing will be felt; that is, if
lions have any filial feeling, by
countless "kings of the jungle"
who owe their existence to this
ancient of the jungle world.

AMERICAN MECHANICS IN
 RUSSIA FACING PROBLEM

Many American mechanics who have taken jobs in Soviet Russia have found themselves unable to remit money to their families in America. The diffi- culty, as explained by John P. Frey of the A. F. of L. Metal Trades Department, is due to the fact that the men are not paid in American money and the soviet laws forbid sending Rus slan currency out of the country. Even if they could Smuggle the money across the border they would find it worthless in Ameri- ca, where there is no market or fixed rates of exchange for it. Some engineers and technical men have contracts which pro- vide for payment of salaries ir American dollars, but those who work on a ruble basis should know that they are agreeing tt work for money which has nc value elsewhere.

CONDITIONS
 PANAMA CANAL

Torrential rains in the Isthmus of Panama flooded the canal, tying up shipping and endang- ering the canal locks. Twelve ships on the Atlantic side and five on the Pacific side were held up on account of a land slide in Gaillard cut. Dredges are at work but traffic will be delay ed several days. The Chagres river is flooded and the twelve gates of the Gatun spillway are kept open to discharge the rising waters. The prinipal danger was the possibility of Gatun Lake reaching a level which would flood the motors which operate the locks.

 Busy Session

At the regular meeting of the city council last Monday evening many matters came up for con- sideration. Councilman Allen re- ported that the millwork includ- ing doors and windows for the gymnasium had been ordered from Seattle firm submitting the most favorable bid. Mr. Allen Lad also inspected the school heating plant and ordered ad- ditional radiators installed. A committee representing the American Legion sought the sentiment of the council regard nig financial assistance in the maintenance of a public library. It appeared that the Telephone Exchange has offered to furnish quarters for the library, includ- ing shelving, furniture, heat and lights at $25 per month and librarian could be hired two afternoons per week at $20 per month. The council favored the library plan but deferred formal action until plans were com rleted.
 Draft of bill prepared by Attorney Faulkner to be intro duced by Delegate Wickersham in Congress to authorize the is- suance of $1OO,OOO in municipal bonds to run 25 years at 6ao was read and discussed. The bill would provide for issuance of $4O,0O0 in bonds for the improve lnent of the light and power plant to double the capacity Of the plant; $25,OOO improvement of the water system, and $35,- coo or any portion thereof to purchase Or retire outstanding bonds now bearing 79o.
