What North Carolina State and
Clemson will do to get good men is
not known. Clemson has made an
offer to '"Tubby" McIntire, who FOR
several years was at West Virginia
North Carolina State. just after 1t
thought it had it's troubles over a.
far as the coaching was concerned.
has lost the man it placed in charge
wear ago. and what it will be able
TO do to replace him is at best doubt
full 1t is going to be exceedingly
difficult for the Raleigh school to hnd
a man who should do as well next
fall as Bill Fetzer would had he re-
maincd.
Sought Fetzer Before.
Some opinion has been expressed
tirat the drawing away of FetZer by
the university after he seemed safely
tucked away at the state college Is
likely to breed some rather nara
feelings. However. the situation is
a little different than If FetZer hah
never before considered going 10 the
university. Just before he signed
a contract with North Carolina State
Fetzer was considering seriously ac-
cepting an offer from North Caro-
lima University; so seriously. IN 1act;
that the university thought 1t had
Fetzer almost as good as tied up TO
be its coach In view of this. the
university authorities thought they
had as much right to bid for FetZer
services this winter as the state col
llege did a little more than year
ago..
Considerable satisfaction was ex-
pressed last fall by everybody at
V. =. l. over the work of Ben Cub
base, former Penn State star. and so
well liked was he that he was placed
in charge for another year. Cubbage
developed splendid line and hne
defense at Blacksburg. but for some
reason the team had little in the way
of offense. 1t might be said here
that Larry Conover, another Penn
State man, was got by Clemson last
fall with the intention Of working
him through this year as assistant
and next fall making him head coach
of all sports. However, the turn of
affairs in foot ball seems to have
changed the minds Of those respon-
sible for the policies in athletics.
Retain Present Systems.
Coaching systems in other institu-
tions will remain the same. Close to
home. Georgetown. Maryland. George
Washington. Catholic University, Vir-
ginia, Washington and Lee. and Vir-
ginia Military institute will have the
same men in charge that tutored the
squads in 1920. Exendine returns to
Georgetown. Bryan Afssse will be
hack AT George Washington. Rice
Warren is slated to direct Virginia's
team again, Bill Raftery has no idea
of leaving Washington and Lee. and
Leary. former Colgate man who has
been given less credit than he de-
served for what he accomplished last
season. will be back at v. NJ. /. Ray
Van Orman has two more years. in
which he is under contract to Johns
Hopkins.
Sol MetzRer is tied up at University
of South Carolina fog four years more.
Mike Donahue long has been fixture
a, Auburn. Alexander stays at
of Georgia, Ken Scott at University
of Alabama and Bill Kline at Univer-
sity Of Florida.
Kline took charge at Florida last
fail and did we'll enough to cause
the belief at the University that he is
fairly sure to turn out some mighty
good foot ball teams within the next
two or three years. Ken Scott and
Stegeman lost only one game between
them. that being the 10 to IA defeat
the former suffered at the hands Of
the latter. Both men are we'll liked
and probably will be fixtures for
about as long as they care TO stay
at Alabama and Georgia.
And with the exception OF two
or three institutions. all universities
in the south are getting their ath-
letics on a sound foundation and prob
ably within the next two or three
years will have practically permanent
heads for their athletics. just as they
, have permanent men directing work
in other departments. Especially is
this true. as it is coming more and
more to be the case that good men
do not desire to leave good insti-
tuition any more than the institution
Adesires them to. In other words. good
men settled in good places are likely
to remain.
