Speaking of his resignation, Krebs
had this TO say:
Il wanted a two-year contract at st.
Johns" he said Il told them it
would take that long to develop ma
terial and make a showing. But they
said they didn't want to wait; that
they must have a team that would
beat Maryland and Johns Hopkins the
first year under my direction. told
them there was but one way to accom-
plish the purpose, and that was TO
bring in athletes from the outside
that the material then available would
not produce such team. 1t was
against my wishes to recruit football
players for the purpose of putting
winning team on the field the first
year" !

The new coach had the following TO
say concerning his plans at st. Johns:
81 am pleased at the idea of going
TO St Johns and the men ! have met
impressed me favorably. 1t is crafty
ing to know that | will have the united
support of the alumni, and | will go
down to Annapolis confident that we
will all be pulling together.
Football systems are not intro
duced in a jiffy. or winning teams
turned out with no material, but ] be-
lieve that eventually, and not before
so very long either, st. Johns will be
heard from, and we will all work with
the end in view of putting 1t on the
athletic map.
Il would rather take clean. athletic
boys without any special experience
and teach them sport games from the
ground up than take several stars who
think they know it all and are incap-
able of being welded into close
working combination.
Whatever comes out of my efforts
at st. Johns will be with boys who
are trying their best, not for personal
fame. but for the sake Of honoring
their school. and ! would rather be-
whipped with the right kind of ath-
letes than clean up with players who
couldn't stand the most rigid inspec-
ton"
