Following graduation, Kopp left the gridiron for three years, returning to the gridiron only in 1937 to assume a coaching job at Northeastern. He stayed with the Huskies three years, but when his friend and former coach at Western Maryland, Skip Stahley, went to Brown as head coach, Kopp went to Providence with him.

Another show-stopper hides under the title of the Newest Sensation on the High-wire, and the star (also new in the States) manages to skip a three-foot rope nearer the ceiling than anywhere else. Before and after his dance he walks up and down a slanting wire, and, though he sways back and forth some, he hasn't slipped yet and may live as long as one of Ringling's elephants. These last...
