"Just what is all thi dilly-dallying around about a Willamette
football coach? Are they or are they not going to play football,
and why can't they just come right out and appoint a coach?"
queries by mail an apparently Interested but perplexed citizen
of our : village. To which we'd
like to answer for the benefit
of ' anyone interested: ; Yes,
they're definitely going to play
.football at WU, but it's going
to be" football adapted to Uie
benefit of participants rather
than 'spectators. Of course that
doesn't mean it won't he worth
watching. The boys will still
do their running, punting; pas
sing, blocking and tackling as
they've always done, but they'll
be doing it not only for) the rah-rah-rahs
from the folks in the
seats but for the physical fitness,
coordination a n d teamwork
. which', must be theirs in the
naval tasks which lie before,
them. ' 1 -
Now about the coach By now .Dl,Kr TROTTER
you know that Professor Les
Sparks has been appointed "director" of football and that hell
have "assisting" him j on their own free time; Chief, Petty
Officers "Duke" Trotter and Lew Carroll. Here's how come:
Dr. SmUh in New York a Problem
14. Com. Spec Keene was a comparatively high salaried man
at Willamette before he got his stripes. Naturally, a successor to
Keene would expect a salary at least In the neighborhood of what
he was getting. But such can't be. The athletic committee of the
board of control allotted a budget for expenditures on physical ,
education at the school, and although It was a healthy figure a
large slice had to be taken from it to set up' the naval required
physleal fitness facilities.. Such left only so much for the hiring
of a football coach. '--.-: . j'
A couple dozen application for the coaching job are on file in Pre
sident G. Herbert Smith's office at present, but on most of them where
it asks "draft status" it says 1-A. Problem No. 1, since it wouldn't
bo wise to hire a coach who's "expecting soon. : : -
A few offers of acceptance to applicants have been made, to be
sure, but what with that "draft status" question and the fact that
considerably unattractive figure can only be paid as salary,
the right man has yet to be found. i
Furthermore, with Smith attending a naval conference in New York
until September 20, no one is left here , with the authority to hire or
fire a coach. - -!
Lack of Time Required Action
So with time requiring action. Sparks asked V-12 Commanding
' Officer LA. George C Bliss If it were possible to use Trotter and
Carroll, received an "okeh, providing they do It on their own time
and it doesn't Interfere .with naval duties at the school. and
.then placed the entire proposition in the laps of the board's ath
letic committee again. Another "okeh" from the committee.
Up to date result? Sparks appointed football director, which in a
sense Is related closely to head football coach, and Trotter and Carroll
his No.'i 1 and 2 assistants until Dr. Smith returns. ,
After Dr. Smith does return, your guess in what will transpire
Is as good as ours. It Is possible the present setup of Sparks, Trot
- ter and Carroll will continue' to "hold office' throughout the sea
' son since signing an outsider as coach seems to be so difficult.
And as It will be September t9 when Dr. Smith does return. It
seems that will be much too late to be appointing an outsider
to come fat and take over the' very large task of herding an in- .
tereoUeglato football team. j
Could Stand Pat on Present Staff
Looking at it from that standpoint, the present setup would be by
- far the most logical. Who would be any more qualifitd to handle
football designed for the benefit of participants than spectators- better
than the already : acclimated phys. ed. teachers already j in charge
In Willamette's -particular case Sparks, Trotter and Carroll?
. They don't know football t Phooeyl: All three have already -:
had coaching experience and all three are well read ion the fats
, and outs of college football. In a sense, both Trotter and Carroll
are already coaches. They're responsible for the physical fitness,
teamwork, discipline and well being of the Y-12 trainees at the
school, exact requisites demanded by any eoach of a football team.
And if yea could see the beautiful physleal condition the chiefs
have whipped the. trainees Into already, you'd think they were
coaches, all right dang good ones. "
So it looks like the Sparks-Trotter-Carroll staff is made to order.
And after all, in these'days of manpower shortages you're supposed to
do a little doubling up now and then,, aren't you?
