COACH O'CONNOR
OCTOBER, 1907

In Dr. John C. O'Connor '02, Dartmouth has a football coach who is a gentleman as well as a scholar of the game. A player of long and valuable experience, he approaches his work from the player's viewpoint, and thereby appeals strongly to all men in his charge. His policy of sympathetic personal instruction is producing excellent results.

Doctor O'Connor played end on the College team four years, and in the fall of 1901 captained the first Dartmouth team that defeated Brown. He also played first base on the nine in his Senior year. He is a member of Theta Delta Chi and Sphinx.

In the fall of 1902, and again in 1903, he met with great success as coach at Bowdoin College, at the same time studying in the medical department of the college. In 1904 he coached at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and in 1905 and 1906 produced two championship teams at Phillips Andover Academy.

Doctor O'Connor took his medical degree at Bowdoin in 1905, and recently completed a term of service as house officer at the Salem, Mass., City Hospital.
