CHRISTIE WILL
RETIRE FROM
CINDER PATH

BERKELEY, Cal. Sept. 8 UP
Walter NJ. Christie, one of the ma
tons leading track mentors. ap-
preached the end of 30-year ca
reer on the cinder path today when
he announced plans 10 retire as
head track coach of the University
of California.
Christie, who has guided the deS-
TIMES of California track and field
athletes since 1901, and once served
as American track coach at the
Olympic games, made known his
intentions to the university STU
dents executive committee.
The coach was prevailed upon 70
remain until the end of the 1912
season, when he will be given re-
tirement pay of two thirds his pres
ent salary.
Christies track teams led tbs ma
ton IN 1921, 1922 and 1923, winning
the I. c. A. A. A. A. titles in those
years and emerging undefeated in
duel meets. In 1924 he was given
recognition as coach of the Ameri-
can track team for the Olympics
The universitys desire to have
Christie remain this year was
pressed because the I. c. A. A. A. A.
meet will be held in Berkeley next
spring. The veteran coach will be
host to athletes from all over the
United States.
Christie had become a university
tradition in the 80 years that
elapsed since he joined the faculty
as track, football, basketball and
baseball coach. Before that he had
served at Williams, Columbia,
Princeton, the United States Naval
academy and the Halsey school III
New York.
He had a brilliant record as a
| tracktnan in his own school days.
It was reported that Jack Mer-
chant, whom he developed into an
outstanding star, may succeed
Christie. Merchant is in business
