1t is entirely true the nominating COM

men In office longer than would other
wise have been possible, and that If
would be a good thing II the distinction
between allied and associate members
could be abolished, but there are prac-
teal difficulties in the way OF naming
national officers in the open, and so
long as the three or four big Eastern

There has been some talk OF the West

Have Him Direct Prince

CAN TEACH WHAT
HE HAS LEARNED
Records Show He Has Faculty of
lmparting His Athletic
information.
By THOMAS s. RICE.

VIII Phil King, of Washington, be
the next football coach at Princeton,
succeeding Bill Roper. who viii not be
engaged there next year?
A large number of Princeton men be-
Heve and hope the answer TO this ques-
ton will be yes. Recently there has
been quite an agitation TO have King
named as head coach, and the only
thing standing in the way is his nee
essity for looking after the big depart
meut store in Washington, in which he
is a part owner.
Kings ability as a football and base
bali coach is too well known to need
discussion. He not only had the fac
Ulty of excell!ng in sports, and he was
one OF the best all-around athletes ever
turned out by Princeton or any other
college, but he was able TO teach what
he knew, which is somewhat rare.
Has Great Record
King graduated at Princeton in 1893.
He captained the football cam of 1892,
which was an Unlucky year for Prince
ton. Yale winning, by u 10 O. and Penn,
by 70 Z. but through no fault Of King.
In 1893. Doggy" Trenchard was cap
tain. and King was quarterback, and
Princeton beat YALE 20 o. and Penn
sylvania, to O.
King was also captain of the Prince
ton baseball team in 1892 and after he
graduated he coached the Wisconsin
football team with the best results wis
COnsIn ever obtained from the quality Of
material offered He also coached the
Georgetown University baseball team
in one OF the most successful seasons of
its history, the team losing only one
game that year.
II IS known that a movement is on
foot to have King head coach at Prince
ton next year. one Of the reasons for
this movement attaining such growth is
that King has been intensely loyel TO
his alma mater ana every fall takes two
or three days of a week to go there
and help ge- the eleven into shape His
services have been highly appreciated
and his appointment as head coach
would undoubtedly be popular.
