...Second football team ran rough-shod over the U. S. Coast Guard Academy eleven of New London, Conn., yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field, scoring six touch-downs and kicking four of the subsequent tries for goal to send the Coast Guard outfit home on the short end of a 40 to 0 score...
Cicero has written history under the Caponi régime. There was the day when the Duncan Sisters, famed baby-talk gurglers of musical comedy, put on a street fight with two Cicero policemen, and later sued the town for rough treatment. There was the story of a young, able newspaper editor who refused to leave town. So, members of the Caponi gang beat him up at a busy street corner, and kidnaped his brother for a few days.

Star halfback "Red" Wade sits on the sidelines because his father does not believe in rough sports and the coach thinks he ("Red") has been drinking. One minute to play -vindication-substitution-"Red" Wade has the pigskin under his arm. The Galloping Ghost is off-long strides, mighty stiff-arm, eely hips, a broken field-a touchdown, a kicked goal, and victory. "Red", of course, is vindicated before the college...
