The other-a small man-seated
himself beside the large man in the

STEVENS To
COACH MYU
BY JACK CUDDY


United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 8. - DR..
Marvin A. tMaD Stevens. one of
the swellest fellows in the football
business. seems to have Jumped
from the frying pan into the fire.
Nal Stevens who was head
coach at Yale for five years and
President of the American Foot
ball Coaches association for the
usual one year term, has accepted
courageously the appointment of
head football coach at New York
university.
He succeeds Howard Cam. who
resigned on February (after
bombardment from the alumnD but
who remains with NYU as assist
ant director of physical training
and basketball coach. This Mr..
Cam is quite a fellow, one of the
greatest all-around athletes in
NYU history and a splendid baS-
ketball coach. He is sending his
unbeaten violent quintet against
the unbeaten CCNY five tonight.
Cam was a victim OF gridiron
circumstances. He succeeded the
glamorous and successful Chick
Meehan late in 1881 when the
school was swept by a wave of re-
form and decided TO do away with
big time football. with prosecuting,
subsidizing and the like.
Under the de-emphaSis program
Cam found it difficult to win foot
ball games in 1892 and 1888, SO ne
resigned under pressure. II seGLs
the alumni demanded winning
football teams regardless of any
reformations.
In announcing last night that
DR.. Stevens had been appointed,
the chairman OF the board of ath-
letic control, Prof. Philip o. Badger,
emphasized that NYU had not
changed its policy regarding de-
emphasis.
In accepting the NYU job, Ste
vens said Il am heartily in SYM
pathy with the university's present
athletic policy. I expect the squad
TO play TO win and TO exhibit a
rugged and intelligent brand OF
football"
Friends figure that at least five
teams on the NYU schedule for
1884 may cause Stevens some EN-
barrassment. They are West Vir-
ginia Wesleyan, Lafayette, Carne-
gle Tech, Rutgers and Fordham.
Georgetown might prove formid-
able, but the other two opponents,
johns Hopkins and CCNY, are eX-
pected to be push-overs.
