Two-and-a-h half-year old Charlie

Not long ago his mother, Mrs.

q washroom at Calexico together.
They left young Charlie outside.
When they started to come out
again the door was locked Young
Charlie had fooled with the lock

pleaded. Unconcernedly, Charles
fiddled with the lock but couldn't
reverse his field.

his mother suggested frantically.
Obediently Charlie trotted out to
the filling station man. He exer-
cised all the words he knew at
high speed. He used several words
he had never pronounced before and
several more that he made up on
the spur of the moment. The
filling station man was amused but
remained in the dark. He bought
Charlie a bottle. of pop, decided
that would clear up the situation or
anyhow, bring it to a head
Charlie sucked on the bottle of
pop and wondered about using
few more words. Then he aban-
doned the idea and proceeded with
the pop. BY this time the filling
station heard the irate women and
came to their rescue.

CHAMPAIGN. Ill. Nov 18.-Bob
Zuppke, dean of the Western Con-
ference. has resigned after 29 years
as Illinois football coach-and this
time he means it.
The decision was made in typical
Zuppke fashion. He might have
waited until Illinois ended its sea-
son Saturday against Northwestern,
or he might have held off until next
March. when he had agreed to dis
cuss his future with University
President Arthur C. Willard. But
Zup jumped the gun.
He asked Harold Pogue of De-
catur, Ill, one of his former grid
iron pupils and a former president
Of the university board Of trustees,
to announce his resignation to
James M. Cleary, present trustees
president, to DR.. Willard and to
Douglas r. Mills, acting athletic
director.
Once before. in 1888. Zuppke said
he was resigning. He signed an
agreement whereby he would yield
the post he had held since 1918
when he came here direct from bril-
liant high school coaching successes
