Emory L. knickerbocker. coach OF
the Detroit University school football
and baseball teams for the past two
seasons. has resigned his position and
will leave soon for Chicago, where
he will enter the real estate business.
He announces that he is through with

Knickerbocker has won locally the
honor OF the king OF the interscholas-
tic instructors in his line. His two
football teams have made remarkable
records, the eleven OF last year being
probably the best prep school team
In the country. Both his baseball
teams have acquitted themselves well.
The fact that his material was very
limited makes his achievements all
the more remarkable. His forte has
been his ability TO plan his teams play
with the sole purpose of getting the
most out OF what little real stellar
athletics whom he had available.
Kuickerbocker is a graduate OF AL
bion. where he played second base In
baseball and quarterback on the foot
ball team. gaining the record OF star
in both positions.
