ALUMNI COUNCIL AWARDS LETTER TO COACH HILLMAN

At a meeting of the Athletic Council held in Hanover April 24, the Council in recognition of Harry L. Hillman's 14 years of devoted service to the College unanimously voted the varsity track coach a straight letter and sweater.

Coach Hillman, a former Olympic star, came to Hanover in 1910. He was connected with a banking house in New York City and ran under the colors of the New York Athletic Clufb. He was recently appointed one of the American Olympic coaches and will sail for Europe early this summer.

Thomas J. Dent, for nine years a player and coach of Scottish soccer teams, was appointed to direct that sport in Hanover next year. He starred on the noted Allston V illas championship team in his native country and also played on war zone outfits. He came to the United States immediately after the signing of the Armistice.

The Council studied plans for the proposed hocke}' rink which were submitted by Larson and Wells, local architects. Although the Council approved the plans, no action was taken since the building of the rink is under the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees. Leon Tuck 'l5 was reappointed hockey coach, 'but it is doubtful if he will accent because of recently made business connections.

No intercollegiate fencing competition will be scheduled for the Green foilsmen next year, according to the vote of the Council at the suggestion of Col. Anton Difettrich, who is working out the details of an intramural program similar to that in vogue at West Point where no man is allowed to compete against other teams until he has had two years of experience.

The following amendments were made to the by-laws of the Council: It will not be necessary for a man to win a letter match in golf to be eligible for the varsity award. The same rule will be applied to the rifle team.

The Council also elected J. A- Hamilton '22 equipment manager.
