is Il good thing, too. might predict
that athletics Will play more and more
important part as the years go BY
Princeton Coming to Front.
That Princeton will play an important
part in the collegiate athletic world
next season is the opinion of both the
students and the faculty ut the Jersey
university, With high class material
among its thousands of students ex-
pcrts look for keene Fitzpatrick, the
Tigers new coach, to develop champion
ship teams. While at Michigan, Fltz-
patrick was considered one of the best
trainers in the country. Although his
speciality has been track and field ath-
letics he has been a good nll-around
coach. With s'Hurry Up' Yost he
coached the Wolverine football eleven,
its baseball and rowing teams. He is
great judge of physical condition and
was never known to overtrain bis men.
'tlt's better TO have n man a trific
short than trifle over trained" F" is his
motto, and he seems to profit by it.
Although his specially has always
been in developing distance run
ners he is a good judge of sprinters.
This was demonstrated when at the re-
cent intercollegiates he brought out
Craig, the big. powerfully built sprinter,
who smashed the 220-yard record. With
the held men he Is also an expert.
He knows the intricate points Of the
game and has faculty of teaching his
men his methods without difficulty
While at Princeton he will have abso-
lute charge of the athlete department
carrying the title Of General Athletic
Director In previous years two men
divided this work. He will replace Val
Flood, who had charge of conditioning
the football and baseball teams and vii,
son, who had control of the track and
field sports. "It's too early to make
sny prediction at this tine.'' he said,
when asked az to what he expected his
tGan to do next year. "Wilson and
fiood have left mo some well dcvel-
oped material and with the new blood
which | snail take hold Of in Septen.
