WENDELL MAY COACH
COLUMBIA GRID TEAM

NEW YORK. December Another
prospect has been added to the list
of probable successors to Buck
ONeill as head coach Of foot ball at
Columbia University. No names are
mentioned. but admission that he is
college" and that his teams have
twice defeated Columbia on South
Field" leads about everybody to con-
clude that the new prospect is Percy
Wendell of Williams
AS captain of Harvard in 1912 Wen
dell was pretty much of a unanimous
choice for all-America fullback hon
ors. Following the resignation Of Joe
BROOKS as coach at Williams he was
placed in charge of the squad for
1921. He Immediately introduced the
and was successful in winning the
Little Three" championship for Will
liams for the first time in twenty
years. Another successful season was
enjoyed. by the. Purple this season.
Wendell Is said to be held in high
favor at Columbia
Mention of Wendelis name in con-
nection with the vacancy lengthens
the list of probable coaches to five.
For some days past the name of Earl
J. (Greasy) Neale, Washington and
Jefferson coach. has been coupled
with the JOB, as has the name of
coach. who once before shouldered the
responsibility ct turning out q foot
ball winner at Columbia. The other
two are Joe Brooks, assistant to
ONefli for the last two seasons. and
Doc Cook, former De Witt Clinton
coach. who has turned out two strong
freshman teams at Morningside.
