Board Passes Responsibility To Committee 'Doc' Newton Suggested For Head Coach At State By Ralph Miller The executive committee of the board of trustees of the Uni- versitv gave President Frank P. Graham virtual control of the athletic situation in the Great er University yesterday immedi ately after a meeting of the board in the House chambers in Raleigh. President Graham recom mended that the board of trus tees elect William "Doc" New ton of Davidson as coach of foot ball at State college, but the board refused to vote favorably on the University head's sugges tion. The board expressed them selves as being of the opinion that they had no authority to elect coaches. One Week On a motion by Walter Mur phy the board voted to put the entire problem in the hands of the executive committee. The board adjourned, and the com mittee immediately decided to give the State athletic council one week in which to make a rec ommendation for a new coach which is acceptable to Graham and to Dean John W. Harrelson of State. If after a week the athletic council has not found a man who is acceptable to the president and the dean, Graham is then em powered to appoint a coach of his own choosing. Incorporation In the meeting of the board the executive committee report- ed that last week they had voted to incorporate the athletics at State and at Chapel Hill into the physical education department, and "Coach Bob" Fetzer receiv ed the appointment to head the Chapel Hill department. James Gray and Carl Harris requested tnat ine ainietic coun cil of each school be given com plete control of athletics at the respective schools, but this re- placing the responsibility for choosing the coach on the shoul- ders of President Graham, gave him an indication of their confi- dence in his ability, but at the same time refused to side with him in his belief that the board should be required to pick the athletic officials of the Greater University.
