CHEMICALS IN
LEAD IN DIXIE
Industry in South Plays I'm
p0rtant Part i'm Busi-
ness Expansion
RISES % TO 80 PER CENT

AMHERST, VA.-Faster growth
of chemical-producing and chemical
process industries in the South in
recent years keynoteS an era Of un-
precedented industrial expansion in
that region, Den B. Mason, chemi-
cal engineer of the Freeport Sulphur
company, told the Piedmont Chem
ical society here.
In the years 1936-37, Mason said,
southern states acquired S186, 326, 900
worth of new investment in plants
and equipment for these indus
tries, considerably more than half
the national total of $3.50, 900, 900.
This represents an acceleration of
longtime trend, since from 1922 to
1888 the South's share of the nations
chemical industries rose from q to
80 per cent.
Increasing alertness of southern
business leaders in encoura ging de-
velopment of these industries to the
profit of their own states and COM
munities indicates that the future
should bring even greater industri-
aization in the South as the healthy
payrolls and employment build up
local purchasing power, urban pop
ulation and nearby markets, thus
developing more and more favora-
bic conditions for attracting still
more business enterprises, Mason
said. He cited several economic
yardsticks" which showed the high
ranking of industries in this field in
steadiness Of employment, payrolls,
research, earnings, and aids to high
er living standards, and in their
progress ratio" from the 1929-33
averages to the 1933-37 averages.
Pulp and paper. rayon and film,
heavy chemicals, petroleum prod
ucts, paints and varnishes and vege-
table oils have been the most active
Of the process industries in national
expansion and in size and signifi-
canoe Of new southern development,
Mason said.

CHAMPAIGN, ILL.,, Nov. 7.-Robert
Carl Zuppke, Cougar -old University
OF Illinois coach, isn't known as one
Of the country's cagiest football
teachers for nothing.
1t has been a long time between
upsets these past few years, but the
willy Dutchman made up for lost
time last week when the Illini as
founded the football faithful BY
whipping Michigan's hitherto un-
defeated eleven in decisive fashion.
Zuppke and his teams have been
sneaking up on the blind side of
powerful opponents for many years.
Just like Minnesota in 1916" said
Zuppke after Saturdays game in
explanation of the upset 1877 VIC
tory. That was the year the
Gophers' dream team" rolled over
all its opponents up to the Illinois
game by scores of as to or worse,
its victims including strong elevens
at Iowa, Wisconsin and Chicago.
All Keyed for Gopher Game.
Illinois had lost two games and
rated not even an outside chance to
win. Walter Camp. father of the
"all-America" selections and an
astute grid critic, came West to see
the slaughter, but instead saw
Zuppke's undermined eleven clip

The situation was somewhat the
same last week. Illinois had lost
three and tied one game, scoring
only six points. But they simply

would not be downed, stopping
sensational Tom Harmon and all the
others.
"All our men were functioning
effectively for the first time this
season." said Zuppke. THAT Har-
mon is great back, don't take any
credit away from him. The boys
were just determined to stop him
My boys had everything to gain and
nothing to lose and the game was a
challenge to them. If they were to
make anything out of the season
they had to do it against Michigan.
Famous for Upsets.
In 1921 Zuppke pulled another
big upset. That was the year Ohio
State needed only victory over the
Illini, which had not won a confer
ence game, for share of the title.
Eleven men played the entire game
and won on an intercepted pass,
7 to 0.
Illinois knocked Wisconsin out of
the conference title in 1922 when
Rune Clark dropkicked a field goal
to whip the Badgers, 80, in a game
rated setup for the favored eleven
Other surprise decisions for Zuppke S
teams include 19-to-0 victory over
Southern California in 1884, a 60
triumph over Northwestern in 1887
and a 17-to-7 decision over Army
and Red eagle in 1929.
Zuppke's last Big Ten title team
was in 1927, when the Illini were
strong claimants to the national
championship.

Clemson sLoop Title

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 7.-Clem-
son will be bucking a tie jinx
which has cost them a claim on the
Southern Conference football title
for the past two seasons when they
tackle Wake Forest Saturday.
Two years ago Clemson came
breezing down the home stretch
needing only a victory over an in
and-out Furman club on Thanks
giving Day to share the loop crown
with North Cardinals Tarheels.
The result was: Clemson, 0; Fur
man, o.
The Tigers were again blasted out
of the running last fall by tie, 7 to
Z, scored against v. M. I.
Wake Forest has lost only two
conference games, to Duke and
North Carolina, and the homecom-
ing tilt at Clemson will furnish a
basis for comparing the strength of
the Tigers and the Tarheels and
Blue Devils.
Clemson won in the mud, TO, at
Wake Forest last year, but both
teams are stronger.
