StickIer for Discipline.

GRADUATED as a divinity student
~ at Yale, Stagg always practiced
what he preached. He was a
stickler for discipline, never drank nor
smoked and would not stand for pro-
family. They recalled today that stagg
benched "Five- Yards" McCarty, one OF
his stars Of few years ago. because he
used profanity in one Of the Maroon
games.
Stagg was thrifty. He lived In a
he could save enough money to enable
him to pay cash when he bought his
home. They say he never borrowed a
cent in his life When he attended
Phillips Exeter Academy in 1883 to pre-
pare for Yale, his capital amounted to
s2l, and during three months of the
Winter his food, consisting of bread and
milk and a portion of roundstead week.
ly. cost him 16 cents a day.
After spending year in the Yale
Divinity School Stagg decided that he
lacked gift for public speaking and
therefore was not fitted for the min
istry. In later years. by dint Of per-
severing effort, he taught himself to
speak In public, and he became an ex-
ceptionally effective speaker.
Institution Means All.
CTAGG in his Al years Of service to
- the University Of Chicago placed
the institution above personal sue
cess. He looked upon foot ball as q
means to an end, the we'll rounded de-
velopment Of character. and not merely
an end in itself Conscience to him
meant more than applause.
He was handicapped for years by the
lack of first-class material for winning
foot ball teams and his prestige with
the public undoubtedly suffered seri-
ously. But Stagg never lost nights
sleep over it, he never complained
never blamed anybody or apologized for
anything.
He cheerfully stayed ON the Job and
did his best, throwing his heart into
his work-that Of developing character
into young men.

Stage, the grand "Old Man"
OF the midway today, now that he will
retire next June from the position he
has held for Al years as director OF

the University Of Chicago.
1.-The greatest single Influence for
good in college athletics that foot ball
ever produced" was tribute paid Stagg
| by Maj Gen. John l.. Griffith, COM
missioner of Athletics Of the Western
Conference.
The life of Stagg has been synony-
nous with the development of inter-
collegiate athletics. No individual has
equaled his influence in contributing
| to the standards of college competition.
| His skill as a coach is universally con-
| ceded, but it has been as a sincere
crusader for sportsmanship, honesty
| and high standards of amateur sports
that he has become internationally
known.
Fair Victory, Or None, Ideal.
| CTAGG has always insisted that VIC
y tory at the price Of unfair methods
Is not worth having; sports which
do not contribute to character have no
| justification. AS a player. as a coach,
as a member of the National Foot Ball
Rules Committee, Of which he Is a
senior member. he has been leader in
the development of foot ball. He is
the most engaging figure in the sport
He Put the game on its feet before
there were any Jonses. Warmers or
Rockies. before there were any stadia
or headgear.
Stagg has served the University ol
Chicago as athletic director and foot
ball coach since it first opened its dooi
back in 1892, a record without parallel
in the sport. In those early days al
Chicago. when they were just handful
Of students. Stagg. like many other
coaches Of the times, played on his owI
teams because he did not have enough

HOOVER SHOWS

BY COLE E. MORGAN

President Hoover slightly check
ed the inroads of Governor RooSe-
welt into his 1928 hackers with
the tabulation today Of 1850 ad,
ditional ballots in the nationwide
presidential poll of The Wash
ington Times and other Hearst
papers.
These returns from the New
England States, the Hoover
stronghold of the poll thus far;
Western New York and a few
scattered spots in New Jersey,
cut down the percentage of 1928
Republicans now backing the
Democratic nominee from 40 to
80 and raised the Hoover hold on
his old supporters from so to 81.
While Roosevelt suffered this
percentage loss on the Republi-
can side. he increased his per-
CGIlIdSG Ol 1870 DSllIOSA nIo oCASA-
ing with him this year from IS
to SO.
This 4 per cent detection in
the Democratic ranks would indi-
cate that the old line Democratic
voters of the country are as
solidly behind their party nomi.
nee as any candidate could reas-
onably hope for.
If these percentages were to
hold good in the November bal
1oting, it would mean loss by
Roosevelt of only around a half
to three-quarters of a million
votes the country over from what
Governor Smith polled four years
ago.
On the other hand, should
Roosevelt maintain his draw or
around 40 per cent of Hoover's
former strength, it would mean
a loss of approximately 100000
votes by Hoover, based on the
total vote cost in 1923 being
equalled this year.

Says The Delaware Ledger, New
ark, MANY vets seem to think
that the 18th Amendment may be
submitted to a referendum vote of
the people for repeal. That is i'm
possible. No amendment can ever
be submitted to a vote of the peo-
pie for adoption or rejection. There
is no such provision in the .Consti-
tuition. An amendment already
adopted, like the 18th, cannot be
submitted even to the legislatures
for rejection. They must submit
a new amendment which will nulli-
fy the 18th, either in whole or in
part. The wets must propose a
definite plan in their proposed
amendment and must get this
amendment submitted by two
thirds vote of Congress, and adopt
ed by three-fourths of the States.
Even if a majority were vets, they
could never agree upon substi-
tute amendment. If they can get
such an amendment adopted in the
way provided by the Constitution,
no one can prevent. But q popu-
lar referendum would not help in
the slightest.

Kansan Wants Data on
States Old Sod Houses

Topeka, Kan.-Kirk Mechem, sec
retary of the Kansas State Histori-
cal society, is in a dilemma. He
wants to build a sod house and
doesn't know how.
The history books say that the
Kansas prairies were dotted with
sod houses and that thousands Of
early-day Kansans lived in them.
BIechem, whose job calls for much
familiarity with the history books,
decided to build n sod house in the
state museum. But now he can't
find anyone who knows what the
buildings were like.
Other states have log houses,
stone houses, and other types Of pio-
neer structures in their state mu-
seums, but Kansas wants one Of the
typical "soddies" But how to build
one is the question.
How thick were the walls and Of
what were the roofs made? What
kinds of windows and doors did
the soddies have, and were the
rooms plastered inside? What kind
Of grass makes the best sod and
what time Of year should the sod be
cut?

Governor Buck to Appoint Eight to

IT was announced last week that
Governor G. Douglass Buck will,
in a week or ten days, appoint a
commission of eight to study the
unemployment situation in Della

The commission will probably be
composed Of four democrats and
four Republicans, four from New
Castle county and two each from
Kent and Sussex counties. This
commission will study how far the
constitution and laws of the State
will allow the governor to go in
order to relieve unemployment.
This report will be made to the
governor and who will then study
the situation. If it is necessary to
call a special session of the Legis-
Iature before the meeting in Janu-
arv he will issue the call. The
governor will not call a special
session of the Legislature, how
ever. unless found absolutely nee
essary. Governor Buck if of the
opinion that relief for unemploy-
ment will be needed during the
next winter and wants matters so
arranged that work can be furn-
ished a considerable number.
