Being a Coach’s Wife. “It has always seemed to me that any girl who goes with an athlete—thereby missing numerous exciting w eekends, dances, etc. should be smart enough not to choose a coach when planning matrimony. Athletes may be glamorous, handsome, amusing and oterwise attractive, but, they don’t have to be coaches, do they? Since some do, and siuce sonie of us do marry them, 1 often feel inclined when signing questionnaires, to write my occujxition — not “housewife”, but ‘coach’s wife’.” —Mrs. Mary Dye, wife of Coach Dye, Ohio State.
