He won nine "M's" during, the three years he competed for the Maize and Blue, earning letters in football, Was- ketball, and baseball in each of his years of competition. He made Wal- ter Camp's All American football team in 1922, and was captain of the grid team last year.

He played cen- ter field on the baseball team, and was a spectacular fielder and a heavy hitter. In the last athletic competi- tion in which he wore the Michigan colors, the baseball game with Meij: university last spring, he wound up his career by hitting a home run in the eighth inning, scoring three men ahead of him. Besides his athletic accomplish- ments, Harry was a good student, never having been ineligible. He was also one of th'e most popular men on the Michigan campus. Columbia, Miss, Oct., 10-In their elation over last Saturday's 3-0 vic- tory over Coach Alonzo Stagg's Uni- versity of Chicago eleven, Missouri students have not forgotten to include Assistant Coach Harry Kipke in dis- tributing the praise for the result of the game.

The' man who led Columbia col- lege into the ranks of the well known colleges in football in two sea-. sons, is ready to "carry on" his' third year. He is Walter Koppisch. And the swan song he sings on the grid this year should be a bril- liant one. Koppisch seemed a perfect play- er, a super-star, to followers of the pigskin chasers last season. For the second consecutive year he was the unanimous choice of all critics for the All-American teams. He was weak in one angle of the game when the 1923 campaign be- gan, however-one angle that kept him from being the perfect player. That was punting. Percy Haughton centered his ef- forts on developing this phase of Koppisch's playing with the result that the closing games of, last fall found the Buffalo husky a quad- i. . i i i i I 1 ruple-threat man, a star in every division. His kicking, passing, line plung- ing and open field running made him one of the greatest backfield men on the field in 1923. There is every reason to believ%% that Koppisch will be more bril- liant than ever this season. While . Walter has ben winning more than an average portion of fame for himself he has also let Columbia out of the football bull- rushes. Football was abandoned at the institution for several seasons. Then, in 1915 the sport was resum- ed. Half a dozen coaches and ral- lies every other night failed to land the team any place in the gridiron sun, however. Koppisch drew at- tention to himself-and to Colum- bia his first season there, four years aga. The team still lacked strength to cope with its main rivals but Kop- pisch's sensational work was the big feature of its games. Critics soon began to point him out as a "big toad" in a "little puddle." Then last year Haughton took hold of the Col- umbia team. Around Koppisch he constructed an eleven that made its presence felt. In C .. 'Vou have oftenheard .1that said about a mats. Have you ever heard it about a diamond? That is where the originated.

He drills his men hard, yet they never fail to respond to his ex- cellent advice and effective leadership. He deserves full credit for the suc- cess of the Missouri backfield, with which he spent many patient hours. His chief task at the start of the year was to develop a kicker, and it is significant that the thrilling victory over Chicago was made by a field goal. While at Michigan, Coach Kipke won the reputation of being the best punter in the West, and possibly in the country, and his drop kicks and placements were factors in many of his team's victories. He seems to have transferred some of his master- ly ability in this line to Coglizer, whose boot won the big game.

Harris Comes Of Baseball Family Navy Forced Rebuild To Eleven When the Army and Navy elevens clash late this fall in their annual game a "home' built" team will be pitted against an "assembled" one. Close followers of the two teams point out that the Annapolis stars1 expectad to shine this season are mostly men who were developed under coaches at the academy. The Army team is composed mainly ofI men who had achieved some meas. ure of success on the gridiron be- fore entering Uncle Sam's institution. Three of the men counted on as towers of strength in the Army backfield this year are "Tiny" Hewitt, Harry Wilson and Bill Wood. Hewitt won fame as a line plunger with Pittsburg two years ago. Wood was a star of the John Hopkins University eleven before joining the soldier boys four: years ago. Wilson was on the Penn. Varsity for three seasons and an important member of the teamI each of those years. Of the men, mostly newcomers,I on whom the Navy coaches are counting for backfield material this year Flippen is the only one who won any fame on the college grid before donning the sailor togs. He was a member of one of the much heralded Centre college elevens. The Navy must develop a com- plete new backfield. Cullen, Bar. chet, Devens and McKee were grad- uated last June.
