AT GueriIIdS

of 1943, but a partisan communique
reported continued fierce fighting
in central and southern Jugoslavia.
The Nazi agency admitting that
a major campaign has been in prog
ress in the Balkans since last Sep
tember, said 37,790 guerillas were
killed and 1869 captured during
the four month period.
In addition, DNB said, Axis fore
es captured 400 guns, 100 heavy
infantry weapons, and go tanks and
armed reconnaissance cars.
In Bosnia and the neighboring
sections of Montenegro and AL
bania, it added, the bandits were
completely wiped out.
The partisan communique, how
ever, said the Germans had been
forced into defensive positions and
that partisan units also we're on

and gardens and doing other odd
jobs
When Stagg entered Phillips
Exeter in 1888 his entire cash capi-
tai amounted to $21. During three
months of winter his food, consist
ing of bread and milk, cost 16
cents a day.
Stagg long advocated a vegetar-
ian diet in training, urged putting
aside roaSts and chops in favor of
vegetables, bread, nuts and milk.
He contended the latter contributed
more to stamina and endurance.
There was a Spartan strain in
Amos Alonzo Stagg that made him
contend with the simplest Of mate
rial things.
But there never was anything
simple about his football.
COACH OF YEAR

those conferred on his College of
the Pacific football team as WI

honor to an 31-year old man who

Metropolitan Los Angeles police
Saturday hunted trio of youthful
fugitives from San Quentin state
penitentiary who surprised in the
midst of a service-station hold-up

guarded a flank.
Fast and powerful extensively and
defensively, Stagg was the perfect
team man. 1t made no difference
to him who did the scoring so long
as his side prevailed.
Stagg liked football better than
anything else, and his stern judg-
ment convinced him that he was
not fitted for the clergy. He felt
that his inability to talk effective
ly would handicap his influence
over sinners, SO he took his first
coaching job at Springfield, Mass,
YMCA where he spent two years.
Later he developed into a fine
speaker.
SPARTAN STRAIN IN stage
Stagg, born at West Orange, N.
j., was the fifth of eight children,
descendants of Colonial stock that
fought in the American Revolution.
Although he lived within 16 miles
of New York, Stagg did not visit
the city until he was young man.
He cut hay in the salt meadows
of Newark Bay, labor that tough
ened naturally strong physique.
Finishing district school at 10, he
worked his way through Orange
High by tending furnaces, lawns

Knute Rockne always held that
all football came from Amos Alonzo
Stagg.
Certainly Stagg originated more
formations, contributed more cleve-
ideas and developed more famous
players than anyone. At 81 and in
his 53rd year of coaching, his ambi-
ton still is to show them something
new and he is meeting with con-
siderable success at little College
of the Pacific.
Young Amos Alonzo Stagg was
the best known athlete of his day
He remains to this day the
greatest baseball pitcher Yale ever
had. The Ellis Muscular Christian
established a record by striking out
20 Princeton batters in 1888, famed
II Harvard batters. He rejected a
$4,000 offer from a major league
club, chose to pursue his study
for the ministry at Yale.
Stagg, the player, was as re-
sourceful as he was versatile. In
his early days at Chicago there
was only comparative handful
of students, and Stagg, like many
other coaches of the time, often
played quarterback on his own
team.
Chicago's games were played at
Washington Park. On one occasion
spectators became SO excited they
surged onto the field and a mount
ed policeman was called to keer
them in check.
ON FIRST ALL-AMERICA
Carrying the ball at crucial
point, Stagg got behind the cops
horse and gave it a resounding
whack on the flank. The frighten-
ed steed set out lickety-split and
Stagg, with the mounted gendarme
running interference, dashed to a
touchdown.
Stagg was member of the first
All-America team. Caspar Whitney
who originated the mythical team
named Stagg end rush in 1888. A
year later Walter Camp placed him
on the first All-America he chose
Yale lost only one game in tn;
three falls Stagg played-the final
one to Princeton, 100, the Tiger
reversing the score of the previous
autumn, when Amos Alonzo and
the Blue steamrollered through the
campaign, compiled 6l2 points with
out being tied or scored on. The
Bulldog scored 1920 points against
