SAN FRANCISCO
HAS NEW COACH
IN SPI!D LEWIS

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. %. UP)
Lawrence (Spud) Lewis. assistant
to Dick Hanlev at Northwestern
and a former Stanford grid star
under Glenn Warner, is the new
football coach at San Francisco
University.
Lewis was siened on a three year
contract last night after a day in
conference with the athletic board.
He succeeds James Needles, chief
mentor for the past nine years,
who resigned several weeks ago.
The new coach, who was grad
uated from Stanford in 1929, was
the youngest of numerous appli-
cants for the post. They included
Ted Shipkey and Fred Swan, other
Stanford stars of past years, and
Jack Shevigny, assistant at Notre
Dame.
Lewis appointment was believed
in line with the decision OF S. F.
U. officials to look for something
different in the way Of football
coaches. Needles used the Notre
Dame shift system as do the coach
es at both of San Franciscos old
est rivals, Ed Madigan at st. Mary's
and Maurice Smith at Santa Clara.
Lewis follows the style of his old
mentor at Stanford.
