CIV. Eyes De Angels

Coaching Post
Pressure of Business
Causes Morris. Clever
Mentor, TO Resign

Ed Morris resignation as varsity
baseball coach at George Washing
ton, announced yesterday, deprives
the Districts coaching fraternity OF
one of its more affable characters
but the blow is cushioned to some
extent by the presence of two highly
capable candidates for the Office.
Vince De Angels. Morris aide de
camp for the last few years, is be-
neved to have the inside track, al
though grapevine indications are
that Arthur Zahn, freshman base
ball and basket ball coach, has a
good chance for the job. Both are
well qualified and would have strong
undergraduate support, but Zahn's
work has attracted the eye of the
front Office and he is headed for
some kind of promotion.
Bill Reinhart's name also is men
toned in connection with the berth,
but it is believed that his present
heavy schedule, which includes han
ding a large measure of the desk
work in the athletic Office in addi-
ton to his coaching chores, Is all
he can handle. Reinhart, con-
sidered an outstanding baseball
coach, never has expressed any de-
sire to handle the diamond squad.
Morris, who resigned because OF
business pressure, was responsible
for reviving the sport at George
Washington in 1888, contributing
generously to the expense of out
fitting the team, and his an-time
record since then shows "a games
won and 80 lost for !63l per-
centage. A graduate of Williams
College and star infielder in his day,
he put the game on a high plane
at the downtown school. He reached
his peak In 1884 and 1886 when the
Colonials won 13 and lost 2 and
won II and lost /, respectively. The
'34 nine lost its first two games
then won the remainder.

NEW YORK, March 17.--After

New York track writer's, who were

the plans for their Navy relief
track meet at the Coliseum next

they're bad for sports writing.
As coach poi ated out, normally
the writers would think it their
duty to pan coach who let boys

Dodds shoot for a world record

again at Cleveland Park Friday.
But their inclination will be to
soft-pedal such criticism when
the writers themselves are re-
