John P. ("Jack") Watson, formerly athletic trainer at the University of lowa, has been engaged to act in the same capacity for Dartmouth. He will attend to the training and conditioning of all the Green teams except track and cross country which will be left in the capable hands of Harry Hillman. The Cross Country team which has been without the services of a trainer for five years will now have the full services of Hillman, whose work with the football team has in the past years taken up all his time in the fall.
Watson was a professional athlete before becoming a trainer, and starred chiefly in the jumps and sprints. For more than twenty years he has been engaged in the West, having charge first of the teams at Grinnell, lowa, and then at the University of lowa, in which places he achieved remarkable success and established an enviable reputation for ability to get men into condition and keep them there.
