(3) Coach Johnson Calls Signals; The Play Works

Coach Glenn Johnson, new Director of Athletics at Southwestern, has taken up his duties with vigor. The immediate job con­ fronting him is to develop a program of athletics at Southwestern that will appeal to the men of the college and give sports their rightful place in the Southwestern scheme of Dorothy Ful~er, '48, Is lation to the beliefs of the different denomi­ things.

Since the opening of the college, he has been agreeably surprised at the interest in sports on the campus, as a result of which he expects Southwestern to have varsity teams in track, baseball, tennis, and golf, in addition to basketball. He is particularly well pleased with the interest in track, a sport in which he is much interested and in which he has had a great deal of success. At Bethany College, West Virginia, whence he comes to Southwestern, he twice won the state track meet. He has no predictions to make about the return of football to Southwestern but is hopeful that in the not distant future the Lynx will again field a team on the gridiron. Put down in your book these two points about the new coach: he is a genial person, with a twinkle in his eye and a genuine liking for people; and second, he likes work.

For a time this fall it looked as though Southwestern might have a football team­ contrary to the decision reluctantly but defi­ nitely reached last spring. Last month about thirty men on the campus decided that they would like to play, and it seemed possible to schedule two games for late October. The matter was seriously con­ sidered by the faculty Committee on Ath­ letics; however, it seemed too late to condition the squad and teach it a sufficient number of Courtesy Birmingham N e w~ plays to assure a worthy showing.
