Those pictures of Stagg . haunting in their sadness . after it was announced that the veteran football coach of the Uni versity of Chicago had been brushed aside by an age limit x. and his brave declaration that he would carry on fin the work Of coaching his reason
 "I went in to athletic work because At offered the largest op- p0rtunity for service through con tact with young men. No scheme of life which removes that con tact would meet with my amb'- tions."
 It is the same old story and can still see Dempsey. croucbed at the ringside during the Schmelipg Walker fight :. nervously lingering his chin ana fage, and glancing around with that strange panther look of his and Dan Howley. just be- for il was announced that he would not manage the Cincinnati Reds in 1933 & tail-end club. the Reds but Dams team. just the same and his work in life even If they did lose SO many tough games by one run -. they were still his ball club.
