Praise To Who m are over ' emphasized or not recognize the extent and effective ,

Praise I s D ue ness of successful sports seasons as advertising media for a school .

i , Besides , Green and White teams are winn ng just now not be cause alumni groups or high/pressure field agents are sending to the campus a galaxy of

, high school performers but because young fellows of average ability, tractable dis

the positions , and coachable minds are presenting themselves for instruction under

superlativ ely f qualified coaching staff that President Bryan and Director Bird have i assembled at Ohio Un versity . Coaches Peden , Grover , Trautwein , Herbert , and Olson are as wholesome and engaging as individuals as they are skillful and inspiring

fi s i as instructors , and under their tutelage the bene t of part cipation in athletics are

really those which are claimed .

As partial proo f of the foregoing contention and in tribute to the Bobcat basket ' ball mentor the editor offers a statement that appeared last month in t he columns of Z ’ h . . a anesville , O io , newspaper And , dear readers , it s all true

' ’ There s a lot o f credit due Ohio University s ch ampionship basketball squad for the manner in which it climbed out of the doldrums of despair and jumped aboard

, a fast chariot bound for the crest of the Buckeye Conference heap . Yet , in the back

ground stands a fellow mainly responsible for that meteoric ascension . “

o . . He is none ther , ladies and gentlemen , than Brandon T Grover That , it

i i . s m ght be sa d , is his Sunday name However , to his score of followers and intimates ’ ‘ ’ he s just plain Butch .

s Be that as it may , Grover has proved conclu ively that his forte is instilling

s . f o basketball knowledge into the minds of sturdy , earne t young fellows His e f rts in directing the Bobcats to a championship cannot be attributed t o some miraculous o e f

currence , but to hard , tireless driving and a concerted will to win on the part of

his charges. “ h Grover began the season wit as drab an outloo k as could be imagined . He had a substitute guard left over from a mediocre team of last year and a handful of green o b e yearlings . Naturally , with the rugged c mpetition to met during the course of a

' o . basketball seas n , Grover was faced with a man sized job “ ’ ' h Well , he didn t shirk and he didn t apply the w ip to his team when it stumbled

hit f d f i ' . an m ss i its in early games After some time of act vities, his squad began vic to rio us r the e march that ca ried it to position it now holds . Ten gam s in a row the ' o fl B bcats won , chie y because they wouldn t stay beaten although tremendous odds

. s e has rose up to block their path Ohio, too , had the smalle t t am that played in the

conference for years .

“ ”

Butch is worthy of all the laurels that can be heaped upon him . He easily takes rank as the outstanding coach of the year from the standpoint of building

something out of apparently nothing . THE OHIO ALUMNUS
