Coaches Americas Strength.
Though many OF the boys who have
done fine work in service will fail in
their ambition TO become regular
coaches after the war, the great in
crease in number of coaches necessa-

E. Sullivan once made the remark that
Americas coaches were mainly re-

the Olympic games, and it is not hard

Must Have Personality.
The successful coach, whether It be
in track" football or baseball. must
have a personality to command the at
tentiOn of his charges. This diagno-
sis of the successful coach never fails.
His interesting personality made Mike
Murphy the king Of track coaches, just
as much as did his great knowledge

for places on Mikes teams as much
for coming in close contact with him

the youngster in Mixes day who could
boast that Mike had "cussed him out"

A LOGICAL result o. Americas par

a perfect deluge OF athletic coaches.
In the near future every college and
club in the United States viii have no
trouble in finding teachers for their
athletic teams-men who, having had
more or less experience with army
athletics. viii believe that their fu-
lures lie IN the direction Of teaching
the younger generation how TO run,
jump and throw weights. There are,
perhaps, hundreds Of former athletic
champions who have left business po-
sitions to act as physical directors.
who VIII prefer following coaching to
returning TO their former mercantile
pursuits That many OF these men
viii be disappointed goes without say
ing. for there viii hardly be enough
coaching jobs after the war TO take
care OF the great influx Of workers in
this line that has been brought about
by the war.
This condition viii hardly affect the
men who have made fine regulations
in coaching in former years. Practi-
cally every man who left a college or
club berth to work with the army or
navy went out on leave OF absence.
with the understanding that their old
positions will be open to them when
peace conditions return.
In this respect the colleges have
acted in a most patriotic manner,
and that they were working in
their own interests as well is
proven by the fact that many of
the institutions that released men
10 40 into the service have paid a
portion of their salaries while
they were away.
The desire of the colleges to get
their coaches back with the greatest
possible speed is seen in the action OF
more than one of these institutions in
sounding out the coaches as to how
soon they wifi be released from SER
vice Because OF this desire to have
their athletic teachers back in har-
ness at the earliest possible moment.
