J. B. HAWLEY '09 CHOSEN COACH OF FOOTBALL TEAM
Jess B. Hawley '09, of Chicago, has been chosen by the Dartmouth Athletic Council as head.coach of the 1923 football team, with Jackson L. Cannell '19, head coach during the past two seasons as first assistant, and John J. Ryan 'lO and John B. McAulift'e '16 as coaches of the ends and the line. The advisory coaching staff will be headed again by Lawrence H. Bankhart '10, and will include J. B. Glaze 'OB, who replaces Hawley as . a member of this staff, and Clark W. . Tobin '10. All of the men named have been famous in Dartmouth football, and the combination should do much to regain football prestige for the college.
After graduation from Dartmouth coach Hawley went to Phillips Andover Academy where he succeeded in developing one of the best football machines in the history of that institution. He then became coach of football at the University of lowa where his success at Andover was duplicated and where he started the western university on the path to its present position in the football world. In 1919 Hawley acted in Hanover as an assistant and advisor to coach Spears and in 1920 assisted coach Roper at Princeton.
In Cannell, Ryan and McAuliffe, coach Hawley will have an able corps of assistants. In the two years in which he has had charge of Dartmouth football teams Cannell has shown considerable promise of developing into a coach of great ability. Ryan, as coach of the Marquette University team, of St. Paul, established an enviable .reputation which his work in Hanover during the past season amply sustained. McAuliffe has also been identified with Marquette football and .served as head coach at Colby College, Maine, before returning to Hanover as line coach last year.
The 1923 football season lists eight games, four of them out of town. It is a rather ragged schedule at best and not one over which alumni or undergraduates are apt to become enthusiastic, but apparently it was the best the Athletic Council could do. Another game with Harvard and a game in Hanover with Cornell are the only features of- the list. The Saturday of November 17 remains open and the following week-end, November 24, is likely also to be unoccupied unless Columbia chooses to provide the anti-climactic curtain to Dartmouth's season on that date instead of on November 29.
On the whole the football prospects for next year look a bit brighter than they have since 1920. Captain Aschenbach returns to play in the line as do Hatch and Goldstein, while several men of promise from the freshman team and a few capable substitutes of last season will also be available. Watkins and Bjorkman will probably be leading candidates for the end positions, and in the backfield Mills, Harris, Calder, Wright and Leavitt may be counted upon.
