MANY DARTMOUTH MEN COACHING FOOTBALL TEAMS
In addition to the staff of six coaches drilling the varsity squad on Memorial Field, 15 Dartmouth graduates are engaged in gridiron work at leading colleges, universities, and secondary schools throughout the country.
Major Frank W. Cavanaugh '99 is continuing his work as head coach at Boston College and reports from the Hub indicate that he will turn out just as good an outfit as the team which won six games, lost two, and tied one last year. Major Cavanaugh was head coach at Dartmouth from 1911 through 1916, and played end on the varsity eleven in 1895, 1896 and 1897.
Myron E. Witham 'O4 is again at the helm of the University of Colorado's destinies. He was varsity quarter at Dartmouth in 1901 and 1902 and captained the team in 1903.
J. Thomas Keady '05 is again at the head of the Vermont outfit which furnished the surprise of the 1922 season by running off with a 6 to 3 vistory on Memorial Field. Keady was a varsity tackle in 1904.
The University of Wisconsin has entrusted its football campaign to the hands of John J. Ryan 'lO, one of the assistants to Jack Cannell in Hanover last year. Ryan played quarter for the Green in 1908, was shifted to half the following year, and captained the eleven at that position in 1910.
James Baldwin '10 is directing work on the gridiron at Lehigh University this fall. Baldwin was a Green guard in 1907.
David B. Morey '13, whose Middlebury College eleven fell 21 to 0 before the Green attack a year ago, is again coaching the Vermonters. Morey was a regular halfback in 1910, 1911 and 1912.
Entering on his third year of coaching at West Virginia University, Dr. Clarence W. Spears 17 is building up an eleven which may surpass the whirlwind outfit, called by some authorities the best team in the East, which won 10 contests and tied one of the 11 played in 1922. Spears was head coach at Dartmouth from 1917 to 1921, succeeding Major Cavanaugh. He played guard on the Green varsity in 1914 and 1915.
James E. Robertson '22, assistant coach last year, has transferred his efforts to Oglethorpe University as head of the board of strategy. Robertson started his career at halfback for Dartmouth in 1919 and was elected captain of the eleven in 1920 and 1921.
At Lake Forest Academy, Lake Forest, Ill., Ralph Glaze continues in charge of the football team.
John H. Bell '15 is again coaching at Friends Central High School in Philadelphia, and Henry C. Blake 'O7, star Dartmouth guard in 1906, has taken up his duties on the field at Philips Exeter Academy.
The Gilman School, Roland Park, Md., has again signed up Bernard A. Hoban '12 to coach its eleven. Hoban was a Green quarter in 1908, 1910 and 1911. Hubert McDonough '18, quarterback in 1915, is coaching the Manchester High School team this year.
J. T. Murphy '21, star tackle on the memorable team of 1919, has been reappointed line coach at the University of Maine this season.
C. F. Burke '23, captain of last year's Dartmouth eleven and former Natick star, has been engaged as assistant coach at St. James High School in Haverhill, Mass. Burke played halfback for three years at Dartmouth and in his new position will devote his time to the backfield men.
