up the needs of all when he said dur
ing the recent meeting of the National

What we want is a man who has
enjoyed his measure of success at 9TH

pertinent with young coaches just out
of college and are going to make a
determined effort to find a man who
has several years of auccessfu, ath-
letic experience behind him. 1t seems
to US that we need that type of man
in order to instill confidence in our
students and to develop a return of
the win spirit. We do not care 20
consider less experienced men, no
matter how brilliant may have been
their careers as players. We are will
ing to pay as high as $1,000 per year
for the right man."
