CHICAGO Aug. Cup - Bob

Cmdr. Gene Tunney's sharp criti-

Zuppke. coaching a college all

ing sand in the peoples eyes"
"Tunney was a fighter and a good
one. He made his million dollars,
studied Shakespeare, and acquired
an Oxford accent. And now he says
football is no good. I don't remem-
Der him ever playing fullback or
making a block or a tackle for a

football teaches it." 'Zup' said last
night.
zuppke, answering the charges
made by Tunney in Washington last
Wednesday that the public clamor
for army and navy athletic "ex-
travaganzaS" was nonsense, con-
tinued:
Football is as tough as any
thing Tunuey's physical education
men ever thought up, Suppose l give

men and turn them loose. Do you
think they couldn't take care of

ABOARD FORTRESS BOMBER
EN- ROUTE FROM KISKA, June 26
tDelayed Ten minutes ago our
bomb bay doors opened and dis
gorged two tons Of dynamite on the
japanese tent city at Kiska Island.
Nine minutes and forty-five Sec
onds ago the first bomb struck down
there under the mist. At 2-second
intervals the others followed and
laced through Kiska's Tundra VAL
ley with the insensate fury of INT.
The yellow-painted 50O-pound
packages have done such work as
high explosive and flying steel can
do, and by now, one supposes, the
living are counting the dead.
We are not waiting for that roll
call; for 7 minutes we dived through
soup SO thick our Japanese play
mate in the fighter plane did not
care to follow. And that ended the
50-caliber attentions with which he
had favored us during the hour and
10 minutes we spent over the target.
Two minutes have passed since
we broke through the bottom of the
mile-deep Aleutian fog and now we
are boring along 10 feet off the water
bound toward our base many hun
dreds of miles away somewhere in
the Aleutians.
Thus another bombing raid on
Kiska comes to as successful a con-
clusion as any raid can hope for in
this worlds worst flying weather.
Word Of Caution.
Back in the fortress lean body the
gunners are slowing their guns and
making slurring remarks about the
Jap and his fighter plane. The
major, squadron leader and captain
OF this plane, has given the wheel to
the second pilot with a word of cau-
! ton to keep her on the pin" and
out OF those gray seas ripping past
! below. Hitting the water at this
speed would be like flying into a
stone wall.
The bombardier has covered that
| delicately deadly tool of his craft,
the bombsight, and now he's loafing
| IN MS little chair splitting his at
| tention between q chocolate bar and
canteen Of water.
The radio operator is asking about
! the weather ahead-as If he didn't
know. Beside me in the glass nose
section the blond young navigator
mas put aside his machine gun and
is busy with his charts, plotting us
home along as blind and deadly a
course as any plane has flown.
I am Numbered up beside him be-
tween the drift indicator and the

time now to speculate on the odd
