TV*" LOSTTON.U. University oflllinoisSnap Upthe Oak Park Star Coach When LacalMenAreNotLooking, MIGHT HAVE COME \t Was Generally Supposed in Foot- ball Circles, that the West Side Man Would Succeed Hammett. If there has been any truth in the rumor that Northwestern university expected to get Zuppke, the celebrated Oak Park high school football coach, to succeed Coach Hammett, resigned, the authorities have delayed too long, for announcement was made Satur- day that George Huff, director of ath- letics at the University of Illinois, had put one over on the athletic hoards of control of Northwestern and Purdue universities by signing Robert C. Zuppke as head gridiron tutor at the Champaign institution. Until Zuppke put his signature to the contract It was not known that the Mini were after him. It was generally believed that he would take charge of the foot ball eleven at Northwestern as Coach Hammett's successor. The salary to be paid Zuppke Is not known, but George R. Carr, member of the IlHni athletic board, who was Instrumental in bringing Zuppke and Huff together, declared that it is one of the biggest paid to a coach in the conference. Carr added that as Zupp- ke will in addition to his football du- ties assist Huff with the baseball teams and also help the basketball in- structor his wage will be increased eerrespondingly*' Zuppke will succeed uoach Artie Hall, a graduate of the University of Illinois and a former star, who re- cently resigned to take up the prac- tice of law at Danville. Zuppke will remain at the Institution throughout the year. When not engaged with the football candidates he will be asked to assist with the various baseball and basketball teams. Zuppke has bad remarkable success with the Oak Park football teams, which he coached for the past three years. Bach season since he had charge of the Steam Rollers they not only won the championship of the Cook County High School Football league, but also annexed the prep title of the United States. In order to clinch their claim to the champion- ship the Oak Park boys went out to the Pacific coast and down east and defeated the best teams in those sec- tions. They copped the 1912 honors by winning from the Everett high school of Boston by the score of 82 to 14. The game was played at Fenway park and the "West Slders went into the contest mith little more than twenty-four hours' rest after the long trip from Chicago. Before coming to Oak Park Zuppke I for four years was coach of the Mus-J kegon nigh school eleven. During the last three years of his tutorship the Muskegon boys handily captured the stateprep championship. Zuppke is a native of Milwaukee and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin. While attending the Bad- ger institution he tried for the foot- ball team, but on account of his lack of weight failed to land a regular po- sition. He was a member of the first squad each season. 4 Luircti Reom HEARST sssjh MtHM c SaWOptfters FnesT ^*^2te »zrr «W;:::|:^-1| I5cM;y jsjsd Eicttftert ScfYfcc mi University of Illinois wtftergiadu- ates, alumni and friends are greatly pleased over the acquisition of Zupp- ke, They believe that, whfle he has' not had any experience as coach of a college team, his great success with trick and open field play will enable the Champaign players to become con- tenders for "Big 9" football honors.
