Zuppke carries his memories Of
seven Big Ten conference champion
ships plus many an upset that
brightens the pages Of Illinois ath-

There was the day when his often
beaten Orange and Blue moved to
seemingly insurmountable odds
against one Of Minnesota's greatest
teams. The Gophers were at the
top Of the conference, Illinois at the

been pointing for this one and his

one Of the biggest football upsets
of all time.

THIS seems to be good spo. in
4 which to pay additional tribute
to fellow by the name oi Carl
Owen Hubbell, pitcher for LGel
Otis New York Giants.
After taking in all the testimony
available from Mel OFT, his fellow
Giants and his opponents from the
National and American league, Carl
Hubbell comes closer to being:
'The perfect ball player" than any
one we've ever known.
There is, Of course, no such word
as perfection" in the human lay
out. It is the closest approach to
perfection that one must consider.
Here is what Carl Hubbell has, I"
Mel OFT told me. "Just check
against it."
skill, courage, brains, mOdesty,
humility, loyalty, stamina, the will
to win, concentration, physical fit
ness-100 per cent Of which quail
ties he has at every start"
This happens to be fair collec-
ton of worthwhile ingredients in an
age where such features as mod
esty," humility" loyalty" "stam-
ina" and Concentration" are often
well below par.
Skill, courage and brains COM
bined in one system are rare
enough.
But these qualities are usually &C.
companied by arrogance, over-con-
fidence, physical unftness and spot
ty concentration.

most remarkable man I've ever
known in baseball"
when he started this season with
the Giants back in April he was 80
years old. He had been star pitch
er for 20 years. We kicked away
one game after another back of him.
He never had complaint. He had
lost six of his first seven starts. He
took all the blame. But in place Of
losing heart he kept working just
as hard and then won his next six
straight starts"
1T doesn't make any difference
how many errors you make back of
Carl He takes the blame. He new
er has an alibi or an excuse. 1t
took him five years through seven
different towns to reach the Giants
in 1928, but this never slowed him
down. He has been their star ever
since he arrived"
Carl has won 10 games in a
row. He famed five of the greatest
hitters the American league ever
knew in succession. He has won
four of his six World Series starts.
He won 116, games in five years for
the Giants, remarkable record
with only a fair hitting ball club.
But that's only a small part of the
real Carl Hubbell."
Still Learning
'Hubbell, after 20 years, is still
learning. When he sits on the bench
he watches every batter that comes
to the plate. He watches every pitch
er to see just what he has. He
works just as hard when he isn't
pitching as he does in the box.
The greatest pitcher of them all,
he takes nothing for granted. Dur
ing a game, even when he is on the
bench, he overloOks nothing. He
rarely says word.
Ills whole heart and soul are in
that ball game-and that's after 20
years Of competition. He is just as
keen to win now-I think even keen
er-than he was, at his prime.
And through it all he is the most
modest man ever knew. II Carl
won 40 consecutive games, if he
broke every pitching record, he
would still be the same quiet, loyal,
modest fellow trying to learn-and
giving all the credit to the team"
talked with several of the Giants
about Hubbel.
He is under one tough handi-
cap" Giant veteran said, when
Carl pitches we all are so keen to
win for him that we tighten up. We
know there's no one lilse him. We'd
break a leg and an arm to win for
him. So at times we get over anx.
ious, try too hard, and lose games
he should have won. But you can
make six errors back of Hub and
you'll never hear squawk. When
he loses he is the one who takes the
blame. When he wins-it's the team
that did it."

tilt Harold ("Red'O Grange, the
greatest football player ever nodded
by Zuppke, scored four touchdowns
in the first nine minutes Of his first
Big Ten game.
Fifteen years later Fritz Crisler,
Michigan's capable leader, made a
slight error in judgment when he
remarked that Tom Harmon was a
better back than Grange ever was.
The Wolverines were favored to win
by as much as 40 to 0. But Zuppke
had his theme for pre-game talk
to his squad. He had his team
steamed up to fever pitch. When
the smoke had cleared away the
Illini had won 16 to z for one Of
the most astonishing football results
Of the decade.
When Commander Gene Tumney
Of the United States naval reserve
declared that football Is practically
useless to the war effort as q man

up cudgels for the game. II was
quite q while ago that Zuppke said:
CHOSE who want to abolish football
never played it," but his feelings
are as strong as ever.

but he always has been one of the
most enthusiastic opponents of the
game. No doubt he had wistful
look in his eyes as he watched the
material at his disposal for the ALI
Star classic. Given few Of those
backs his latter-day teams at ILL
nois would have been battling it out
on even ground with such teams as
Minnesota and Notre Dame.
But don't forget, he'll continue to
have memories. And the memory
Of only one player-Red Grange
would be sufficient for almost any
football coach.

The United States is short sew
eral million pounds of feathers for
military and millinery purposes.
The Army needs large quantities
Of feathers for comforters. The
war has cut off annual importation
of 100000 pounds of waterfowl
feathers from China, Poland, Hun
gary, and Russia. u. S. chicken
and turkey feathers must make up
most of the shortage. Chicken
and turkey feathers are worth
about 5 cents a pound, duck down
81 a pound, and goose down $1.35
pound. Wing and tail feathers
should be sorted out. All feathers
should be sorted according to size,
and both feathers and down should
be clean and dry.

The U. S. Government has just
announced that the production of
dried eggs in 1912 will be ITO mil
lion pounds more than were pro-
duced in 1941. Eggs marketed in
the shell in cartons or cases take
more than ten times as much space
as the same quantity of eggs in the
dried form. For distribution
among the Army, Navy and Ma
rine forces and for shipment to the
Allied Nations, this means a ire
mendous saving in shipping space.

Government officials ask farm
ers to seed their fall wheat without
any nitrogen. A ton of nitrogen
applied to some of our vegetable
crops will do much more toward
winning the war than the same ton
of nitrogen put on wheat. Next
year we may have only about 80
percent as much commercial nitro
gen for farm crops as we had this
year.

The Red Cross Inquiry Service is today
the only contact thousands OF persons
have with one another. Families in &C.
cupied countries, seamen, members OF
the armed forces, refugees, missionaries,
prisoners of war, deported civilians, in
ternees, all are wanted and waited for
by some one.
During recent month this service
handled 100000 pieces of paper. Sixty
five thousand were inquiries from abroad,
$4,000 originated in this country, some
5000 concerned the addresses and well
fare of the armed forces and the re-
mainder were urgent messages sent by
cable.
The bulk of the messages concerned
civilians; Is words of strictly personal
character, containing no information OF
military value, are allowed the sender.
On the reverse of this message form,
the recipient may make his reply, which
is also subjected to the same restrictions.
These forms are often written and an
swered in the native language of the
sender, at present the Red Cross is
translating and censoring messages in
81 different languages. The messages go
by boat and are forwarded to their vari-
Gus destinations abroad by the 1nterna-
tional Red Cross at Geneva. Sometimes
they take from three to five months to
complete their journey. The Civilian
message form" was first devised by the
pol hn Civil Nor
and represents today the only authorized
means civilians in enemy or enemy occu-
pied countries have of keeping in touch
with their relatives and friends.
What kind of story do these short,
simple sentences, so eagerly awaited and
dispatched, tell? They describe concern
and anxiety, patience and forbearance,
humor and tragedy, they are like puzzles
into which we must fit the missing
pieces What kind of person is this man
or woman, sometimes without home,
often without food? In each answer
there is courage, bitter silent courage
to wait for the freedom, that we, the
United Nations have promised to return
to the conquered peoples.
Slavery Is q temporary state, IN every
heart there exists the hope that some
day there will again be place to live, a
field to pillow, family to embrace, and
a respite from cruelty, hunger and fear.
In every conquered village. in every oc-
cupied city, there live many who wait
quietly for the time Of revenge and
liberation. Some Of the messages are
eloquent in what they leave unsaid-
they come out of concentration camps!
In recent months, the majority of mes
sages have been exchanged with Italy,
Greece and Germany. Word from
Greece is always sad, frantic appeals for
money and food appear in every mes
sage: TRY to. send us help through
the Red Gross, we are In bad need and
desperate. Do help. to save the chill
dren!" Greek-Americans try to learn
the whereabouts Of their relations, but
when they are finally located, the answer
Il always the same, they are IN want.

north consisting mainly Of farms and
forests.
Passing east along F street from Fiji
tenth street, at least as far as Eleventh
street, the observer can easily see the
decided slope Of the land toward Penn
sylvania avenue and farther on to where
once ran Tiber Greek, later converted
into the Washington Canal, while the
Avenue, especially the nearer the Cap
itol is approached, was low and gen.
orally marshy ground, which accounts
for the piling for all large structures in
this area.
The building at the northeast corner
Of Fifteenth and F streets, which is
probably the original one, was erected
about 1901 by Bennett Fenwick, and about
this year became Rhodes Hotel, and later
the Indian King Tavern, when 1t was
leased to Joseph M. Semmes.
In this same block, on the north side
of street, even down to recent years,
stood in the rear of the present struc-
lures a building which for a while was
occupied by the city post Office, soon
after the Government departments were
moved here from Philadelphia. Thomas
Monroe, jr, was then the postmastei.
and his home was in the same building,
which was on lot 3. This afterward
became one of the Willard properties.
An account Of the houses standing in
blocks facing street in the year 1900
includes in the square in which are the
Willard and the Washington Hotels, two
frame houses-a two-story and a one
story-one being occupied by Mr.
Hutchinson. 1t was in this block that
James Kearney, IAN Irishman by birth
and an architect" built in 1900, hand

This property was sold to the Willard
brothers about 1858, and is now oc-
cupied by the street side Of the
Willard Hotel.
An interesting site, especially today,
when the chief topic Is banking and
currency, is the northeast corner of
Thirteenth and F streets, where the
Homer Building stands, for here, in
1901, was erected building to house a
branch Of the Bank Of the United States
then located at Philadelphia.

fortunately, We have had no news of

possible for you to come here" they
reply. Marie's messages become des-
perate, my dearest, the days pass, then

Service located Scotch boy in a Ger
man prison camp. The worker in the
local Office where the frantic parents
lived, recognized his handwriting on the
formal receipt which all prisoners of war
must sign for packages received. Once
prisoner is located, the family may no
longer write to him through the Red
Cross, but must communicate with him
directly.
Philippine Inquiries.
Red Cross workers will tell you that
they are accepting inquiries concerning
the Philippines, but that so far only
cable communications are open. Mail
Tor Palestine, India, East Africa and
Siberia is not accepted, these countries
are not officially at war, theoretically the
mail channels are still open.
A missionary in China writes home:
Il send to you love and to the family.
Don't worry about me, I am in good
health" An engineer detailed in the
Canal Zone upon receiving long ex-
pected answer to his inquiry. writes to
the volunteer at the Red Croos, ito the
gentle mademoiselle, volunteer of the
Red Cross, who assisted me; allow me
to express my full gratitude for the very
noble help, as volunteer OF the Red
Cross, you bestowed upon me. For the
sacred opportunity to correspond with
my daughter, may God bless you"
A man In small town in our Middle
West had attempted to get some news Of
his daughter. married long since to
German; after eight months word came.
The grateful father writes the Red
Cross: Have been thinking of you
since hast week as veritable angel Of
light: until receiving Anna's response we
had reason for foreboding Of bad news,
but low and behold, over her own sigma
ture, she says all we'll with her and
children. What load has been lifted
from the hearts Of her parents and
friends. May God bless you in your
great work and maintain you In good
health during the stress and strain Of
your Job in these turbulent times"
There are today millions of families
that are separated, whole villages have
been deported we know now what
Hitler means by slavery. We get some
picture Of what total" war means, what
separation and hardships are endured
when we read these messages. In this
terrible global war, the papers piled high
upon the desk Of the Red Cross worker
are for many the only bits of hope, the
only scraps Of faith that they may either
