Doonesbury Steitz is president of the U.S. Amateur Basketball Association, a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee’s executive board and president of the Eastern College Athletic Conference. One of Steitz’s graduate students was NCAA President James Frank of Lincoln University, who recently recalled that he helped finance his masters and doctorate by handing out towels in the gym. The sports Springfield didn’t start, it helped along. The college’s first, exhibition gymnastics team, formed before the turn of the century, included graduate students Amos Alonzo Stagg, who also coached the football team, and James .

Coach Frank Wolcott, who started the first women’s collegiate Copyright, 1961, Universal Press Syndicate All rights reserved gymnastics team in the East and won virtually every award in gymnastics before his retirement from coaching last year, helped bring about a renaissance of that sport.
