 Back in 1904 Murray was a braw young Pennsylvania miner just two years out of his native Scotland. One day he came out of the pit after F hours of work and complained to the company weighmaster that he was not being credited with all the coal he was sending to the shaft.
 Words led to a fight. Murray licked the weighmaster and was fired for brawling on company property. The miners next morn ing went out on strike in sym pathy.
 In Mine at 10
 A mass meeting was called, a local of the United Mine Work CTS was organized. and the youth ful Murray was elected president by exclamation His father voted for him along with the other min CTS
 Murray had grown up in an at of British labor strug- gle. When he was six years old his father took him to union meeting at which settlement of long strike was announced giving the Scotch miners a substantial daily wage increase. At 10 he went to work in the mine with his father.
 He studied evenings, heard his father talk enthusiastically of union gains and of the liberalism of Brit ish Statesmen William E. Glad stone and Robert Peel.
 Also Diplomat
 ? Advancing from local to dis trict union leader in western Pennsylvania Murray continued in- tensive studyaof the relationship be- tween labor and industry. He be- came international vice president of the United Mine Workers in 1920 and has been the right hand man of John L. Lewis in that or ganiZation for the last 20 years.
 The granite jawed, shaggy Lewis has overshadoWed his less spectacular first lieutenant al though Murray has been the big main negotiator with coal operators. He long has been rated a diplomatic but persistent bar gaiper, well posted on the econom- ics Of coal and steel.
 Murray led Lewis campaign to organize the steel workers, helped formulate the agreement with Unit cd States Steel and directed CLOS fierce battle with flittle steel'' in 1937.
 ~ Was Athlete
 An ardent protagonist of indus trial unionism, he followed Lewis in flashing out at 'sreactionafy craft union leaders in the American Federation of Labor. Nevertheless, he is considered delft conciliator
 Many years Republican, he supported Roogevelt in 1886 and plugged for his reelection this year although Lewis had indorsed Wendell Willkie's candidacy. n ' Tall, gray haired and compactly built, Murray. at 5a, gives the inn pression of elastic vigors In his youth he was a star soccer player. is School Beard Member
 He speaks With distinct Scot fsh burr and is a good phrase maker but does not attempt ora torieal flights in the Lewis man- ner. lie is Catholic and has been member of the Pittsburgh Board of Education for many years.
 Murray was member of the National Ccal Production Commis- sion during the World War. He i affiliated with the "highbrow' American Academy of Political and Social Science and has testified frequently before Congressional committees on labor questions.

ments, Schwartz, after a year as
head basketball coach, was selected
to head all high school athletics
Gene Harvey is athletic director
in charge of physical education,
and assistant coach in football.
Harold Rasmussen was named to
the coaching staff as assistant and
in charge of Junior College athlet-
les. A new man, not yet on the
staff, will be added to the coaching
facilities in charge Of Junior high
school athletics. George Knudsen
is the other assistant.
Under the new program, a
report Of the reorganization
shows, unity in coaching, uni
ty Of plans, unity between the
Junior College and the high
school and unity between the
high school and the Junior high
school Is to be the goal.
Besides the head coach assistants
will aid as line and end coaches,
and Junior high and Junior College
posts. All will be integrated into
one system, the plan shows.
The plan has as it's purposes:
creating greater interest in the
game of football, to get the public
more in the mood for the game,
and above all to develop character,
personality, fair play, mind and
body.
A downtown quarterback club
has been suggested along with re-
organization of managers, general
rules committee, quarterback
meetings, and an outline of exper-
fence of coaching staff, and meth
DDS to be Incorporated into a
pamphlet.
The Board considering a submit
ted list Of equipment voted to add
to equipment as the plan and suit
ability merit it. Objective of the
plan to get 100 players out for foot
ball. Coaches expect from the
Junior and Senior high schools
groups to get rs, and from the col
lege to get an additional 25.
The plan came about as Sank
Centre increased her competitive
rating. On the basis of COMPETE
ton with Alexandria, Willmar,
Montevideo and others in the West
Central Conference, it was clearly
felt that coaching efforts should be
more completely unified and the
whole plan move toward one goal
ahead.

Baseball Gets It's
Walking Papers
Track Only Minor Sport
Spring Football
To End With Game
8 Coaches On New Plan
New Setup Follows
Timely Lead of State
Baseball was ushered out the
back door of the school this spring
in the most complete face lifting
Job in the history of Sank Centre
high school athletics. Br1efiy,
as baseball went out, spring foot
ball stepped in, all bright and shiny
and track is to get further en-
phasiS.
Baseball has for long been an
inner-outer in high school attn
letics. For some seasons 1t
seems to go well; then it hits a
slump that Is all consuming.
Obviously the season Is such,
from a weather standpoint, that
the real fun of the game Is lost.
Baseball's q hot weather sport,
of which we have less than
little before school Is out.
1t was believed that by exert
ing more comprehensive efforts
toward football, basketball and
track a better program for the
school and the student could be
effected. And they aren't
forgetting about you fans eth
er, my little man. In fact
YOU are a prime concern. Be
cause as your interest goes, so
go the sports. -.
Just what action the American
Legion has taken on baseball, l
can't say But they've fathered 1t
through lot of lean years here
lately. So far as the school is con-
cerned, while it's thrown it out the
back window, baseball need not be
dead. The Legion may start
its efforts in that direction at any
time, even before school is out. :.
The thought is carried on by the
school though that summer is the
time for baseball that youthful
arms get very little help working
in the cold spring weather. :.
Spring football is the mode of
the moment. With conferences
getting tougher, demanding
more Of coaches and players,
and now a suggestion of Bier
man to have a prep football
tournament, all adding up to
something bigger and better in
football interest, the school Is
completely in step. The
state high school league re-leg-
allied the practice Of spring
sessions this year, and the local
troupe aren't wasting any time
in using their new found pre-
negatives. -.
1 had some ideas last week on
spring football that, so far as the
local setup is concerned, have been
ironed out. I said that spring re-
hearsal lacked the stimulus of ap-
preaching games to get the best
out of coaches and players alike.
:. And that sometimes it became
humdrum for both. Well, the
West Central Conference took care
of the latter. They banned any
thing over IS spring rehearsals.
And the school here took care of
the rest. They've called for spring
finale game between the squads
at the windup of those fifteen prac-
tees. Now competition between
squads can be real competition. Be-
cause beating the guy who lives
across the alley is a thrill that
comes seldom in the modern setup
:. So heartily favor spring foot
ball on the setup now. That
game. to be announced later, will
interest you, too.

new in Sank Centre athletics,
this consolidation, this use Of
so many coaches. It marks the
opening Of q new era In what
Is believed to be q comprehen-
sive statewide stimulus to the
sport. Up TO now one man
has been assigned the coaching
job In football, another In has
ketbalL and the two worked
back and forth for each other.
=. But one man In football, or
even basketball, Is scarcely
enough. In football the
multitude of fundamentals re-
quire time and training. Be
sides that the players must be
started young enough so that
all the things don't have to be
assimilated in the latter years.
That's important. :.
There has been noticeable i'm
provement in the quality Of local
athletics in the past few years since
Junior high began getting some at
tention. With five coaches, united
in their efforts, you'll see some
more notable improvements that
you perhaps never thought possible.
1t relies on a number of things,
but if this isn't the step in the right
none ever have been TAX
en-. A year ago when Junior
Extension College athletics came
about, necessary adjustments had
to be made. But there were
sacrifices to be made too. With a
program entailing equal stress or
Junior and Senior high school and
college, it looks up. -.
You can look for the open
ing Of both track and spring
football shortly. In spring foot
ball the boys are plugging for
IS students out from the two
high school groups. They'll
probably get 1t. BY next fall
they're hoping for rs from the
Junior Extension College. =.
Obviously with 100 students
working together, under an uni
fled coaching system, there is
to be progress made. :.
In the spring meeting of the dis
trict % men the track meet for
the district will be held at Alex
andria May 18th. Sank Centre Is
defending champion this year in
track, and muscle flexing will start
almost at once. :. officials Tor
the tournament were talked of and
four will be contacted at once for
the next springs basketball finale.
There were baseball plans and
which don't concern the
local school this season. .. AS US
ual several plans were on deck
when the boys began talking about
the favorite subject: the method of
arranging teams for the district
tournament. They
are under advisement, and unan-
until the fall meeting set
ties the procedure. -.
.
This reorganization of ath-
Ietics i'm Sank Centre Is time
Iy movement. With the state
setup increasingly difficult In
competition each year, schools
must look to the inner work
ings to come out on top.
Coaches are not all in harmony
burt they're quite certain that
some sort Of state champion
ship in football is going to
come about sooner or later. -.
Sank Centre has increased Its
athletic plant and facilities
greatly in the last few years
with one OF the finest football
fields in the country, and one
of the best playing courts In
basketball. It's coaching staff,
so unified and so enlarged, will
he commensurate with the out
