COACH WEIGH QUITS
JOB AS COUGAR MENTOR
". S. c. Football Coach Resign,
After Four Years and Leaves for
Washington, ID. G.

There was more or less surprise
and much disappointment in IocaI
0Otball circles last Friday when il
became known that Gustayus Welch
for the past four years coach of foot.
all at the State College of Wash
1gton, had resigned his position and
sat the resignation had been accent
by the athletic board. The resig-
@tion, it is said, was rendered to the
board some two weeks ago, but ac-
ton was deferred in the hope that
the difficulty could be remedied and
the contract with Coach Welch con
tinued.
Although Coach Welch would give
no other reason for his unexpected
resignation as year-around coach of
football than a desire to change To-
cation and, perhaps, to quit the
coaching game entirely, there is a
general feeling locally that criticisms
from various quarters because Of the
poor showing of the Cougar team this
year may have been the cause of the
mentors determination to seek new
fields.
My ambition during my four years
as coach at the State College has
been to turn out real men. men who
will make desirable citizens, as well
as to turn out satisfactory football
team said Coach WeIch. I be-
leve that the development Of man
hood should be considered of pri-
mary Importance by any football
coach and that the development of a
champion team should be of second
ay consideration. The win-at-any-
cost coach is not an asset to any in
aitution."
During his four years as head
zach at the State College, Coach
Velch won IA conference games and
it nine Up to the present unsuc-
8sful season he had lost but four
inference games, with 1 3 wins. He
has established a wide reputation as
an honorable coach and as a builder
dmen on the gridiron.
Just a few days ago Coach Welch
vas presented with parchments en-
dorsing his work at the college and
signed largely by business men of the
city.
Coach Welch left Saturday for
Spokane, where he spent Christmas,
leaving a few days later for Wash
hgton, D. c., where, about the mid
die of January, he will take as his
bride Miss Julia J. Carter, daughter
