and the year previous when Perry

good, though illness during his
last season caused his work to
deteriorate some. Since that time
Dolby has devoted all of his time
I toS. coaching. He has recently
completed a course in physical
culture and training at Yale and
is a full-fledged graduate of that
school. Should he determine to
come 20 Richmond, he will bring.

can be made. II this proves true he
will remain here throughout the. sum-
mer, preparing for the football season
and advance information says that he
will have the football men report far
AHEAD of the date set for matriculation,
SO as 60 put them through prelimi-
nary course of training. 1t is also

all things into consideration, no better
move could possibly be made by the
college.
The question OF establishing the po-
sition of physical director has occupied
the attention of the athletic authorities
for some time. Heretofore the Spiders
have been handicapped by inability to
secure just the men they wanted as
coaches. Much time was lost in be-
tween season. first in looking for
coach, with the track team left to pad
die its own canoe. But of vaster i'm
portance is the fact that no definite
policy could be established. Continual
changes of coaches brought about con-
tinual changes in methods OF instruc-
tion. SO that the men on the team would
each year have TO unlearn much they
had learned the season before in order
20 imbibe the knowledge given by the
succeeding coaches. The same OBJ 4

All OF this will be obviated under
the new policy. II Dobson. or who.
ever is finally selected, comes for
term OF years, he Will be able to start
the work OF constructing a football
team, or a baseball team OF a track
team, not FOR Just enc season. but for
all time. Being under contract for a
term OF years. he will not perform
his duties as II they ended with Just
one season No man can build world
beater in one year. but any man OF
ability can accomplish wonders in two
or three years
Finally, it is the consensus OF opin-
ion that the present move is n move
in the right direction, and friends OF
the college are congratulating the au-
rhorities and looking forward TO
brighter and better days for the in
stitution along athletic lines. 1t is
by no means g new policy, but one
adopted by all of the principle schools
throughout the country with unvary1ng
success.
More power to Richmond College
and its physical director.
