Death, caused by a heart attack, >vertook the famous streak of the ;ridiron suddenly at 2:30 p. m. to- day in his room at the Chicago Athletic club where he has been bedridden for only a few days. He was 46 years old. Eckersall had been in failing health for the past year but not 2ven his most intimate friends realized that the end was so near. Last fall, he jeopardized his health by leaving a sick bed and continu- ing his duties as football referee and sports writer for the Chicago Tribune for which he also became famous. He never seemed to re-~ gain his old-time spark after that. The death of his mother last fall nearly broke his heart and his will to live was hardly that of the 145 pound football player who used to blast through ponderous lines way lack in 1903-04-05-06. Charles Dunkley, sports writer. for the Associated Press and his close friend for 20 years, was 'the only one with Eckersall when he died. Dunkley came to make his daily call and found him dying. He said Eckersall mumbled something about a 20 yard gain and died peacefully. Football stars have beamed and faded but very few gained the fame that came to Eckersall, a slip of a youth weighing about 135 pounds. He first attracted attention while playing on the Hyde Park high school team in Chicago. Re- cruiting was not considered an ath- letic sin in those days and several universities and colleges learning of his remarkable speed sought his services. But he decided on the University of Chicago where he -ombined his natural speed and talent with advice from Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg, and startled the football world which then was used to the slam bang type of game. Almost single handed, he, crushed heavier and greater teams than Chicago with his triple threat artistry. His kicking was accurate and dangerous, his open field run- ning was a revelation. "Ecky" as he was known to foot- balldom both as a player, writer and official, played two years as an end. His first year 1903 he star- red and in 1904, he gained a berth on Walter Camp's All-American team and became a fixture on that mythical eleven, membership of which was usually confined to the East, for the rest of his college 2areer, 1905-06. The last two years, he directed the Maroon at quarter- back, meanwhile increasing his weight to 145 pounds.

The commission touched it off with an announcement that it had asked the department of justice to to instruct its agents in Michigan to arrest anyone who started work on the state police radio station, which Gov. Green had said wouldI be built without a permit from the' commission. This brought an immediate re- ply from the Governor, who declar- ed "regardless of federal arrest the state will proceed with construc- tion of the station." "The legislature has stipulated that a station be established and appropriated funds for its construc- tion," he said. "We expect to car- ry out the mandate of the legis- lature." The commission's answer to this was: "The matter is now in the hands of the department of justice." KIDDER WILL TALK 'ON EXPLORATIONS' Dr. A. V.

Barbour gymnasium booth and the booth in the Women's League building polled a total of 160 bal- lots. On the distinction between "fre- quent" and "occasional," The Daily editors have deemed it necessary to draw an arbitrary line because of individual opinion.
