ROPER, PRINCETON
COACH, TO RETIRE
Wittmer to Succeed Tiger
Grid Mentor at Close of
1880 Season.

BY the Associated Press.
IN RINCETON, N. j., January A.
- Concluding IA years of service
as head coach of Princeton foot
ball, William w. Roper will re-
tire after the 1880 season and will be
succeeded by Albert w. Wittmer, jr.,
present line coach, who will enter upon
a four-year contract, it was announced
today.
Pressure of his business and political
duties in Philadelphia, where he is a
member of the City Council, in addition
to dealing in insurance, was given by
Roper as the principal reason for his
decision.
Teaching sound foot ball and EN-
phasizing the psychological element,
Roper has been turning out formidable
foot ball teams at Princeton since 1919
and also served successfully as head
coach in 1910 and 1911.
Graduated in 1902.
A capable end in the days of big
Bill Edwards and Arthur Poe. he was
graduated at Princeton in 1902. He Is
az years old. Against Yale and Harvard
Roper's Tiger elevens have met with
enviable success, winning games and
losing l against Harvard and taking Z
out of Is from Yale. The 1929 Prince
ton team, however, was considerably
below par, failing to win a major game,
and Roper in midseason frankly de-
cIared himself dissatisfied with its
fighting qualities.
AL Wittmer, the young lawyer who
has been selected to succeed him, Is an
elder brother of Eddie Wfttmer, now a
senior at Princeton, who was the back
field star of the team for the last three
seasons and is captain of the basket
bail five.
Al Coaching Basket Ball.
In addition to his foot ball duties, AL
holds the position of head coach of
basket ball, and 1t is expected he will
continue in that capacity.
DR.. Charles w. Kennedy, chairman of
the board of athletic control, said Witt
mer's selection was for the foot ball
seasons of 1881, 1892, 1893 and 1884.
Prior to his graduation in 1922, Witt
mer starred in foot ball as fullback and
center and also played basket ball.

tendance, Chairman Brown decided to
postpone definite action until next
Thursday, when the entire commission
will meet at Lansing Brown promised
that ShireS would be cleared If the
commission adjudged him innocent. He
added that in that event he would APP
pear before Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Lands, commissioner of base ball, and
correct any mistaken ideas regarding
Shires' connection with the affair.

he had ever been so involved during his
