Dobson 5 Resignation
As Coach Accepted
By Maryland
Had Tutored Terp Grid
Teams Since 1885; No
Action on Successor

The resignation of Frank M. Dob
son, head football coach at the Uni
versity of Maryland since 1885, was
accepted by the Athletic Council of
Maryland, which met in formal ses-
sion this morning. President H. c..
Byrd sat with the council which
was composed of Geary Eppley, ath-
letic director, chairman: DR.. Will
liam B. Kemp, DR.. E. N. Cory, DR..
L. B. Broughton and DR.. w. c.
Supplee.
No action on naming his sue
cessor was taken today.
Dobson, 81 years a college coach,
came to Maryland from the Uni
versity of Richmond after previous
coaching careers at Georgia Tech.
Georgia and Clemson He was given
the title of assistant football coach
under Jack Faber his first year at
College Park, but in reality was the
head coach. He also has been as
sistant track coach.
A college player at Princeton in
the first decade of the century.
"Dobbie' had the unique experience
OF being expelled by Woodrow Will
son, then president of Princeton and
later of the United States, for play
ing semi-professional ball.
After leaving college, he played
major league baseball with the Pitts
burgh Pirates and still is a scout for
that team.
Ever since talk arose of his resigna-
ton from Maryland, it has been
rumored that Dobson would take
over the job of coaching the Pitts
burgh Pirates of the National Pro-
fessional Football League, but the
tall, graying leader has denied that
he would enter pro football, despite
his ardent advocacy of the game.
One of the best-knoWn coaches
in the Southern Conference, Dob
son, also has served as atheletic
director at Richmond and Georgia
and has coached every major sport
in the college curriculum.
HIS work at Maryland reached a
high-Water mark when he coached
two Terp teams to victories over
Georgetown in 1886 and 81 and
when decided underdog Old Line
eleven of '38 nearly upset the un-
defeated Hoyas in the final game
of the season.
Dobson's '37 Maryland eleven, in
cidentally, was the last team to beat
Georgetown. This year his Terps

with Hampden-Sydney and Western
Maryland. Virginia, Rutgers, Flor
ida, Penn State, Georgetown, v.

Recalls Pioneer
DAYS On Birthday

Mrs. H. N. Bell, who recently
celebrated her eighty-fourth
birthday, has resided in Redwood
Falls for SO years, coming at the
time of her marriage in Septem-
Der 1880. During the early days
the only direct railroad service
was a branch line from Sleepy
Eye, which, as she recalls, con-
sisted of the engine and two cars
which came here once a day.
There is one event which occur
red at this time which has always
remained with her, vivid men,
ory.. The faithful physician was
DR.. Finn, the father of DR.. T. E.
Finn, who often had hurried calls
to country homes which were al
most impossible to reach in
short time with his horses. When
possible, he would take the train,
which would always wait for him.
Mrs. Bell was standing in her door
when she was attracted by the
frequent whistle from the train,
which she knew was an urgent
call for someone, and she saw DR..
Finn hurrying with rapid steps
toward the depot. AT this time one
of the Schmahl brothers Ga BROTH
er of j. A. SchmahD owned the
meat market here, and had a team
of white mules which he was
driving to the depot. He immed-
lately recognized the situation,
which was not a new one, and
unhitched his team, taking one of
the mules to the doctor, who,
astride the mules back, reached
the train and in second was on
the way to make the call.
Mrs. Bell is member of the
First Presbyterian church of Red
wood Falls and has watched its
steady growth from small mis-
sion church. She is charter
member of the Order of The
Eastern Star and member of the
Women's Relief Corps. October 8
many of her old friends planned a
birthday party for. her, which will
remain as one of her happy MEM
cries. Two or three of her old
friends, now residing in Duluth,
came bringing beautifully de-
corated birthday cake. A few days
later the Worthy Matron with a
few other members came to spend
an hour with her bringing greet
ings from the O. E. S. which they
were unable to do at. the time of
her illness. They too brought
beautiful cake. Mrs. Bell has
pleasant home with DR.. and Mrs.
Heintzen who are doing all in
their power for her comfort and
happiness. She deeply appreciates
all that her friends have done for
her and is glad to have this OPP
portunity to thank them. While
memory lasts it will never be for
gotten. Her wish for them during
the coming years, should a like
need come to them, is that they
may receive the same help which
she has received.-Contributed.
