ALUMI SYSTEM IS MOTORED 1 Children Cry for Fletcher's Coach F. RI. Simmons Gives His Views On Proposilion , Now Pending THE--SIGW p) UU Urv UNIVERSITY MEN ARE ANXIOUS FOR CHANGE Under Plan Proposed, Former Official at University Contends that a Alan Should be Employed for Period of Three Years to Supervise Coaching in Football Other Points in New Scheme Are Vigorously Defended by Mr. Simmons. Since ,the recent , disaster (which almost resulted in annihilation, not only, of the State 'University football team, but also of the sjrfrit' of each alumnus of the university), which oc curred in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day, there has . been : much comment, argument and agitation. Since the recent meeting of several alumni at Chapel ; Hill, . former Coach F. M. Simmons has been - asked to make "comment ' upon" the proposed . proposition.' Mr. Simmons said: "With one accord, everyone wheth er familiar with the present system at Chapel Hill, believes that a change is necessary. They may not know why it is necessary other than that the team annually meets -defeat at - the hands of Virginia, or at least has done so for half a dofeen years, ' the cause - of these defeats may "be 'attributed to some, or all of the following reasons: Collegiate politics, employing of men to take charge who are heretofore un- known, lack of material. Under the head of employing 'unknown coaches, we may expect to find the following difficulties which he meets and are al ways serious toward, gaining victories. He is not -familiar with local condi tions, that is;, he is not familiar with the temperament- of the boys with whom he. works. He is unfamiliar with past history .and "lastly, he knows not how. to judge the strength of his opponents, which to my mind is the greatest asset toward a victorious sea son. . . 1 . Ijong-Term Employment. " ' "It would seem at this recent meet ing of the alumni and faculty at Chapel Hill, that all these matters were fully discussed and that those members present each realized that these were points which must be over come, xn order to jjre.ee Carolina in the football firmament, where, she rightly belongs. "In reading the account of . the 'meeting, I infer it to oe the idea of the committee to entploy a man who not only understands" and is thorough ly familiar with the game, but one who is known and also knows his op ponents. I understand that this man is to be employed ror a period of three years. I have heard it dis cussed that it might be dangerous to employ a person to take charge under' a definite contract for a period of over one year and that it might be necessary to employ him with the privilege of recall. Such discussion to my mind, is merely idle talk, because when a coach . is employed to take charge of a football squad and he is successful there is no one who realizes his success better than the coach him self, , When he has failed to turn out a winning team, there, is no one . who knows that feature . better than the coach and as a usual thing, when the coach is unsuccessful , the first year, he cares littlei about remaining the balance - of t his .:. contract . and . if , there is any recall, I think, that can.be ex pected from him.. - "I note there is a movement on foot to secure the service of Mr... Trench ard. I believe he wouldabe an admir able man at the head of football af fairs at Carolina. He knows what to expect-Forewarned Is fore armed." , .The Alumni System. ... "I have long been 4. believer in the straight alumni system -of coaching. It has been utilized with excellent re sults at many institutions of similar caliber .and of a lesser student body 'than has Chapel Hill. It may be that where the alumni system is' employed in 'other institutions, local conditions may be different, as for that I am un able to say. I do know that Will Tillett-of this year's squad tried hard to have, alumni 'football'. jnen' return to the hill this r fall; anc wlth" but few exceptions .he was unsuccessful. The Vast majority of alumni, after leaving college,, engage themselves in a pro--fession or business ana.it is very hard for a man torleave h;shome and his business, ; even . though it be but. for a week, ' and y rund ".down ; to Chapel Hill.

"It seems to me' that the plan as outlined-by the "committee, with such a man as Mr. Tretcnard in the fore ground, conducting.-affairs-generally and with the little - assistance which may be tendered from time to time by the alumni, the season of; 1913 should mark a new era in footballdom at Carolina. I sincerely . trust ;.. the committee may be able ; to make , it sufficiently attractive to land him. f; . A Sad Lack of Funds. "A matter whiA has always been seriously detrimental 1 to Carolina's success Is . the lack iif funds. " Funds not only to equip the team as - It should " be, but sufficient- funds ' to make It attractive for a successful man to give . up the"1 business he is engaged In at the time and devote his entire- attention toward operating a successful football team. -It has been my observation' that a man "who h4d the "gimp" and the energy to turn out a winning football machine, by utiliz ing similar methods does well in busi ness, and if he is successful in busi ness ft would be mighty poor, business to ; drop that which he- has in order to consider a financial proposition of alesser caliber. In order to have a successful team It is quite necessary to have a successful man and successful men must be paid for'fformer success es attained and their present effort. .
