Department of Physical Education and Health at Cornell College -" Mt. Vernon,
Towa. Glenn Cuminghem purposed in his heart that he would be a champion
and that later he would be a college professor. He attained both, but the
road was not easy. Day after day he stretched those scarred legs, - not for
the purpose of being a champion miler, but for the purpose of even learning
to walk upright without limping. He worked on the farm for his father. He
was @ janitor in the school building. Glenn Cunningham never had anything
easy. It vid only through struggle and travail that strong men are born.

“ How many times have the boys of our high sohools of this nation
been told .by: Glenn Curmingham that af you want to be a champion you cannot
smoke. Glenn Cunningham was offered huge royalties by the tobacco trust if
he would give a testimony for olgarettes “that are toasted", "that do not have
@ cough in a car load", that “do not irritate your throat", - but he stead-
| fastly refused. And today doubtless Glenn Cumingham had a very definite
effect upon the lives of some of these 16-year-old boys who are playing on
the Kansas varsity and who still do not smoke in or out of season.

I remember being in a coaching school with Glen "Pop" Warner,
. aeclaimed the aristest ef all crafty football coaches of the generation just
past. Two men «pproached him on one of the college campuses where we were
having a master senate school, and said, “Here's a letter for you, Mr.
Warner." Pop Warner took the letter, looked into it, and said,"I'll let you
know this afternoon." At that time Coach Glom Warner was coaching the
Stanford University team. We ate luncheon together and he asked me this
question. “Allen, those fellows wanted me +o endorse "Bikey Strike' cigarettes.
What do you think about it?"
