FACULTY ATHLETIC
BOARD AT TECH IS
DEPLETED BYFOUR
Strongest Members of Com.
mittee Hand in Resigna-
tions to Principal.

Principal Frank NJ Daniel, of the
Mckinley Manual Training School, is in
receipt today of the resignation of John
Myers, a member of the faculty COM
mittee on athletics. Principal Daniel
also has the designations OF Louis w.
Mattern and Roy c. Clafiin, members
of the faculty athletic committee. along
with that of Clarence w. Hecox. coach
of the football team.
While there is no expression of opin-
ion at the school. it is noised about
that the members of the faculty COM
mittee on athletics-Messrs. Mattern,
Clafiin, and Hecox-felt that they were
not getting the proper support. and that
rather than buck an opposition would
resign
Coach Hecox handed in his resigna-
ton TO take effect at the close of the
football season, which was accepted.
All of the members of the committee
give the reason that stress OF Work
Is proving too much of a handicap to
them in their efforts 10 help out the
boys. the athletic association, and the
teams.
Others less tactful have come forward
with the declaration that athletics at
Tech are in bad way; that the faculty.
or the ma jority of the members OF the
faculty. are opposed TO athletics, and
that boys are given little or no en-
couragement to work for teams, and
that school spirit is confined to a few.
The recent case of ECkendorf and
Doleman, two boys who played against
the Vigilants' football team on a picked
tC am. served to show that the athletics
cared Little or nothing for the school.
Denied their letters until they had suf-
ficiently cleared themselves ot alleged
professionalism, the boys I'm general
were nothing lcath to express them
selves in no uncertain way over the at
titude taken by the faculty toward ath-
ietics.
The resignation of four members of
the athletic committee of the faculty
within two months Is causing much talk
at thu school. Mr. Mattern has been
identified with athletics at the school
s:nce il was first started. He has been
pl esident of the athletic association and
cnc of the strongest supporters of all
forms OF athletics.
Roy c. Clafin. with Mr.. Aiattern, is
responsible for the successful institI-
ton Of a students athletic council, has
worked increasingly and untirlngly for
tie good of the association, has filed
the office of secretary ard has been in
suumcnual In putting the association OH
better and more sound foundation.
Appointed later, Mr.. Myers. has done
much. toward helping the boys, and the
fact that he and Mr.. Hecox have re-
signed leaving the athletic associat' OIL
in the hands of G. Ernes; Smith. Mel
scn ". Mckernan, and Olive Dennis
with the new appointees, H. taken to
l. can that Tech athletics will be with
out the support that il formerly enjoyed
from those resigned.
All Of the boys appear 10 be heartily
disSusted with the situation and main
tain that IL will be impossible 10 get
baseball for the remainder of the Sea-
son.

he has been a better player, and he
