"The present policy o f the Pennsyl­ vania department of highways," said Connell, "Is to plan and hulld new work to suit the probable future traf- flee requirements In each Instance. It would tie absurd to say that all state j roads require the same width of pave ment as, for Instance, does the Lincoln highway near Philadelphia and Pitts­ burgh. In 1925 a considerable mileage o f 40-foot pavement was laid on this main trunk line west o f Philadelphia and 40 feet will be the minimum pave­ ment width of the road entirely across the state.” Dredging Gold From a Washington Highway IP you read a brief news Item which r e c « t ly ap­ p e a r e d In the p r e s s throughout the country an­ nouncing plans for the erection o f a national me­ morial to the late Walter Oamp, known wherever the game la played as the “ Father o f American Foot­ ball” ? Unlees you know the story at Walter Camp and the part he played in making football what It Is today, and In addition the story of his ups aud downs during the many years he had charge of athletics at Yale— unless you have this back­ ground you won’t appreciate fully the significance of tbla honor and the cli­ max it produces In a drama o f foot­ ball politics. Years ago, long before college foot­ ball profits ran Into seven figures, Walter Camp, then known as the “Caesar o f Football“ at Tale, stood before a gathering of that university's athletic beads and announced that be had contrived to save $135,000 out of football receipts. Astounded by the vastness of this sum, they were further astounded by Ur. Camp's ambitious plans for a great footabll arena, the Yale Bowl, a new boathouse fully equipped, and a new athletic field. Questions Immediately formed in the minds of his listeners. Whence this secret fund? Where did It come from, and why? There was the cus­ tomary Investigation. He might have withstood the attack, but the Investi­ gation disclosed that Camp, who was then a member o f the faculty, bad received some compensation for bis services. No Yale coach had ever taken pay for his services. Camp had not been paid for coaching, but he bad received a modest sum, about one-fifth or less even than tbe -emuneratlon of a pres­ ent-day coach, for bis services as treasurer and manager o f Yale ath­ letics and bis job on the faculty. Bnt they were after Camp. It was pointed out that he bad written books and articles for magaxlnes and news­ papers. He bad turned his knowl­ edge of football into money. The fact that several hundred other Yale men were receiving money by this time for coaching and writing on football was overlooked. In 1910, when Fred Daly was cap­ tain and Ted Coy was field coach, the break came. Sharing the fate that ungrateful republics are pleased to bestow, Walter Camp and his wizard­ ry, which for many years had not only kept Yale football supreme, but also dominated the entire football world, was deposed forever as adviser and director o f the sport at Yale. At the time of Camp's death on March 14, 1925. the New Haven cor­ respondent o f the Boston Globe, in writing a resume of the football wiz ard'a career, pointed out that two Making Brick Pavements Noiseless With Filler years after Camp left Yale that uni­ versity was paying Yale men twice as much for coaching as Camp ever re­ ceived. and that In addition Yale foot­ ball was on tbat ''sure and certain downgrade course It pursued until the past two seasons.” Today Yale alumni and nearly 300 American colleges and universities are raising a fund o f $300.t*JO for a me­ morial to take tbe form of a monu­ mental gateway to the Yale athletic fields at New Haven. Carved In stone over the arched entrance will be an In­ scription "W alter Camp F ields” Up­ on bronze tablets set Into the walls flanking the arch will appear by states the names of all universities, colleges and prep schools which helped In mak­ ing possible this memorial to perhaps the foremost exponent o f popular ath­ letics in American history. Represented on the committee In charge are such nationally-known fig­ ures In the world of sport as E. K. Hal! of Dartmouth, chairman, who for many years headed tbe football rules committee; Alonzo A. Stagg, Univer­ sity of Chicago, and Robert C. Zupp- ke. University o f Illinois. Plans for the memorial were de­ signed by a Yale man, John W. Cross, 1900, and have been approved by the Yale corporation. The National Col­ legiate Athletic association Is func­ tioning the campaign for funds among tbe colleges of the country, and early success In the project o f recognition for the "Father o f American Football" Is assured. "Walter Camp took a game that was so crude that it could not possibly be recognized as the predecessor o f mod­ ern football and made It over into a game of strategy, scientifically bal­ anced as between offense and de­ fense," commented Albert Barclay, the New Haven correspondent o f the Bos­ ton Globe, in reviewing Camp's life. “ Into It he put new Ideas from his resourceful mind, all the time careful­ ly and shrewdly keeping to hlinsefi tbe whys and wherefores o f these ideas. “ For ten years he stood alone as creator and originator of modem foot ball, and Yale triumphed. I)eland conceived the flying wedge. Camp hurled a single sturdy guard into it, broke it, and sent a half back through tbe opening to tackle the runner. He had solved the defense before the of­ fense ever got under way. “ Away back In the early tlOs, Camp, who was a good business man. con­ ceived the Idea that football, which attracted the public, could and should pay the way for other college sport a that the receipts and disbursements of Yale sports should be pooled, and that by running college sports on a busi­ ness basis they could he made to pay. and that the constant passing of the hat for money to run sports among both undergraduates and graduates should be abolished. "The Idea was too revolutionary to spring on the happy-go-lucky college world. Hence Camp created at Yale the Yale Field association. He be­ came Its head and treasurer. He hus­ banded Its funds, and for fifteen years no one. except a chosen few, knew that Yale athletics were making money. "Then Camp began to unfold his plans, a great football arena, an up- to-date boathouse, and a new athletic field, and he told Yale men that he had saved $135,000 toward carrying out his plans.” Soon followed his downfall. You've already heard that part o f the story. Thus, briefly, you have the outline of what Walter Camp did for football at Yale, and tbe reward he received. “ Like all men who succeed," con tlnues the New Haven writer, “ he was Invulnerable to criticism. But the sad part o f the attack upon Walter Camp by hla own college waa that it cairn- from an lnalgnlflcant minority." Engineering knowledge and experi­ ence have developed the modern brick pavement from a common clay brick laid on the natural soil to the vitri­ fied brick with an asphalt filler laid on a concrete foundatloq with a aand bed between the foundation and brick surface. This produces a pavement surface which can he made as near free from construction defects as Is poaalbl*. Every step in the manufacture of the material and placing It Into the pave­ ment is subject to correction before the next step Is taken and thus In- snres against defects.
