Saturday, January 18, 1930 G THE DAILY TAR HEEL iroliey tj if h ti f : itatjillsed -A -fl Dr. Foy Roberson, Alumni Representative on Athletic Council, Writes in Alumni Review of System Employed in Selecting University Coaches. o - "The present policy of ;the University Athletic Council," writes Dr.-Eoy Roberson in the current issue of the Alumni Re view in commenting on the or ganization of the University's coaching staff, "is to hold this organization intact, believing that- through the - same type of progressive hard work and study of the game our "football will improve in the future ; as it has in the past." The writer is alumni representative bn the Athletic' Council and during his stay in the University played quarterback on the football team. The article is entitled, "Stabilizing Coaching in Uni versity Athletics." ; . In commenting upon the pol icy adopted by the Council, JDr. Roberson says, "For years the University of North Carolina operated her teams with no def inite coaching policy. Football and baseball were the first sports adopted at Carolina and Hector Cowan, a Princeton man, was the first paid coach in football. The baseball teams were coached by the team captains for a long time. As other sports were in troduced, such as track, basket- ball, Doxmg, wrestling, cross country, tennis and golf, they either functioned without coach ing or were cojached by the per son who happened to be inter ested in introducing the particu lar sport. While we eel that our coaching system is a pretty closely knit organization at the present time, it has not always been so." various types ot play were used from 1895 to 1920 when the Fetzer brothers came to Carolina, with Yale, Princeton and Harvard style predominat ing, with, occasionally Dart mouth, Pennsylvania or other styles sandwiched- in, states Dr. Roberson. However, with the Fetzers trie first definite organ ized policy of coaching was in troduced. With Bill Fetzer's resignation in 1926 the Athletic Council was faced with the same old prob lem, he continues. "It was then that the council decided to adopt the system of coaching developed at the University of Notre Dame and carried out so successfully by Coach K. K. Rockne." The reasons of the council for this decision was that "Notre Dame alumni seemed to . enter the coaching "profession much, more often than alumni of the other institutions mentioned above." Thus it was that the council se cured Collins, Cerney and En right for coaches. In knitting the coaching staff the policy of having a head coach for every sport with the fresh man coach under his 'super vision was adopted. "Under -this plan the council does not hope to produce all championship teams, but believes that we shall win our share of victories and get the best out of the material avail able," he says. In conclusion the Durham doctor writes: "It is the policy of the council to retain coaches so long as their services are sat isfactory and they desire to re main But under this tyian the structure does not hinge on any one person and the .loss of any particular person would not cause a collapse of the organ J7 I1 iilZii ENQNG F GOES TO 10 ! "J i Tar Heel Cagers To Resume Practice For Wake Forest Contest With their next game sche duled for Saturday night, Janu ary 25, a rejuvenated Tar Heel team will resume practice Mon day afternoon. Because of the remarkably strong offensive and defensive play presented against the Washington and Lee Gener als here last Thursday night, the Tar Heel cagers will resume practice with their self-confidence bolstered, to a greater de gree than heretofore. Though Carolina was on the tail end of a 19-7 score at the end of the first half, a different team headed by three stalwarts of defense, Marpet, Choate and Dameron, re-entered the fray -in the second half and,, putting up their best exhibition' of the year, held the Generals' scoring ma chine to a bare eight points, while they themselves scored 10. . J Clelandr-a clever little floor man, showed up remarkably well in this game, as did the sub stitute forwards Hutchinson, Slater, and Neiman in the short time each was in the game. Johnny Greene, outstanding frosh basketeer last year, will begin practice with the team next week, and in him Ashmore may find an answer to his pray er for a dependable, consistent forward. Billy Brown, veteran guard, who .was called home by the death of his father, is also expected to return the latter Part of the week. ' Next Saturday night's game in Raleigh between Carolina and Wake Forest will find two teams fighting to retrieve previous lusses. The Deacons boast a strong team this year, including Guillen and Mills, football stars. Galveston is America'siargest cotton port. S. P. E. Wins Over Delta Tau Delta The S.

Pair of French Foils Awarded to Student Amateur Fencing Champion. V (By W. W. Taylor) Walter G. Lowry,' a-senior from Pineville, N. C, is today the possessor of a fine pair of French foils as a result of his winning the amateur fencing tourney held: yesterday after-! noon in the Tin Can. This tour ney was open to all men who had not had previous training in this sport, and was in every way a success. There was pres ent a large crowd of enthusias tic spectators who watched with intense interest every move of the contestants ; and applauded, every display of ability and sportsmanship Lowry defeated Paul H. Rhodes, a junior from Albe marle, in the final round by the score of five touches to -four. The contestants were very even ly matched and the outcome of the bout was in doubt until the final touch. Due to the fine showing made by Rhodes, he will also have a pair of foils to hang in his room. At a conference between Coach Hendlin and Bo Shephard held prior to the tourney, it was virtually, decided that the "fate of fencing at Carolina would de pend upon the number of appli cants and the interest shown in the tournament. According to these standards, fencing will be a major sport at" the Uni versity. Approximately. 50 stu dents entered this, tournament, the first one of its kind to be held in the south, and about a hundred spectators were on hand to see them contend for the foils as well as the honor of being the amateur fencing champion of the .University. , The tourney was sponsored and directed by H. H. Hendlin, who coached each contestant prior to the meet. Members of the varsity fencing club were on hand and assisted Coach Hend lin in managing and judging the matches. Faculty sponsors of fencing, among whom were B. W. Linker and Professor Wil liams, were also present. According to Coach Hendlin, due to the great success of the event, plans are expected to be put into effect immediately towards the establishment of fencing as anantramural sport. Coach Hendlin also stated that he hoped to form in the near future the first woman's fencing club ever to be organized in the south. This would in a large measure heip to make up for the lack of sports open to the co-eds in this institution, according to Coach Hendlin, and would bring Carolina nearer to the athletic standards set by northern col leges.
