Coach Sanford. an alulnnus Of Olivet
College. Oliver Mich, was student
at Zuppke's summer school for athletic
coaches at the University Of Illinois,
and comes here with the advantage Of
q thorough training under some Of
the best coaches in the country. His
manner Of taking hold of the squad in
its first workout was inspiring to
followers OF the team. and with the
wealth of material available, 1t is pre-
dicted that he would assemble an
eleven capable of giving an excellent
account of itself during the 1915 sea
son.
