Schulte's Successor to
Be Named Soon,

The selection of football coach to
succeed H. F. Schultz has been de-
layed by the efforts of the athletic
department and President Hill to
bring the best man obtainable to the
University of Missouri, DR.. w. E.
Meanwell said this morning.
1--WE feel that we owe the alumni
of the University the best selection
possible" Doctor Meanwell said, land
we are making every effort to over
look no possibility in making our Sc
lection"
Doctor Meanwell emphasized the
difficulty of getting an experienced
coach at this time of the year.
I'VE are not looking elsewhere for
coach because we lack confidence
in Johnnie Miller" he said. 1T is
simply our desire to obtain, if possi-
BILE, a man of more experience.
But if Miller is named, l am conf
dent that he will have a successful
season. Personally l have every con-
fidence in him, and l am sure that he
can turn out a team which would be
credit to the University"
The new coach will be named sew
eral days in advance of the opening
of football practice September 10.
Doctor Meanwell pointed out the
necessity of obtaining man who can
handle two sports. Under the ruling
of the Missouri Valley Conference, he
said, coach must be employed for
the whole year, not for the season
and the athletic department could not
afford to employ separate coaches fol
each sport.
If Miller is named head coach, he
will coach football and baseball, with
the new man in charge of freshman
| football and track. A combination
man of that kind would not be difficult
to find, Doctor Meanwell said.
On the other hand, if Miller con.
| tinues his present work as freshman
/ football and Varsity baseball coach
the new man must coach Varsity foot.
ball and Varsity track. The depart
ment has not found it easy to engage
such man, Doctor Meanwell said.
The number of coaches engaged BY
the athletic department and the sal
aries which they are paid are directl.
dependent upon the gate receipts o
the intercollegiate contests. and fol
that reason the department must econ
omize by securing coaches who have ;
variety of talents.

only thirteen starts against Philadel-

The reason for Sims refraining
from pitching when his club visits
Philadelphia is simply this: He is
