COACH FRANK To STAY
Popular Mentor Denies That He vii
Go to Minnesota.

Lawrence, June 24.-The report that
Leonard Frank had accepted an offer
to assist in coaching the Minnesota
university football team is false. This
information was received from the
popular mentor himself in a message
from ST. Poul.
The news that Frank was not to re-
turn to Kansas next fall caused con-
siderable comment and surprise in To-
cal athletic circles. When Mr.. Frank
left this spring he stated that he would
be back next fall in the same position
which he held the past year. He was
recommended to the board for re-elec-
ton by the university council, the ath-
letic board and the department of
physical education and it is certain
that he will be formally named at the
next meeting of the board of admins
tration.
