Bevan Named Trainer

Roland Bevan, coach for the past five years at the Toledo (Ohio) Woodward School, was announced early in March as the new trainer of the Dartmouth football team. He succeeds Harry Hillman, who has been released from his training duties so that he might devote full time to varsity and freshman track.

During the past 18 years, Bevan has developed some of the finest scholastic teams in the middle west. For eight years he was at Steele High School, Dayton, from which Head Coach Blaik graduated, and for five years each at Rayen School in Youngstown and Woodward School in Toledo. During this period he refused a number of coaching offers from colleges, preferring to remain in schoolboy coaching. In recent years Bevan has specialized in physical training, and the opportunity to train the Dartmouth eleven fitted perfectly with his experience and interests.

Bevan is an exponent of the ideas that physical condition is the most important factor in successful athletics and that stamina is preferable to flashy ability. He has always acted as his own trainer, and has always taught strict physical discipline. Himself an all-round athlete, Bevan has developed a number of western football stars, and as a basketball coach has turned out 14 state championship teams.
