OREG011 TUESDAY, APRIL 21. 1931 HARPER NAMED ATHLETIC DIRECTOR NOTRE DAME PAGE EIGHT LEAVES RANCH TO RETURN TO RAMBLER JOB Chicago OPV-Notre Dame com Dieted lta organization to carry on the woric 01 me laie ivnuuc Rockne with the appointment of Jesse C. Harper as director of ath letics. Harper, who was head football coach at Notre Dame for five years before Rockne succeeded him, will take over his new duties May I. He will do no coaching, but will su pervise the direction of all athletics The coaching Jobs will remain In the hands of the men already se lected: Football, Hcartly. 'Hunki Anderson, senior coach, and Jack Chcvlgny, Junior coach; basketball and baseball, George E. Keogan; track, John P. Nicholson. Harpe rhas not been In direct con tact with athletics since he resigned at Notre Dame in 1918, but he al ways maintained a keen Interest In them. During the last football season, Rockne and Harper were perhaps closer tocether than for a number o! years. Harper attended the Notre Dame-Cameglc Tech football game at South Bend as Rocknes guett. Afterward he Jokingly remarked: "Knute, you make me loot worse very year." It was Harper who 'lrst brought the shift to Notre Dame when he became head coach In 1913. He learned the shift from A. A. Stagg when he played halfback at the Uni Tcrsity of Chlcaxo. it was Harper who. Introduced the forward pass Into the game as a real offensive weapon. Harper's first Notre Dame team, with Rockne as captain and end and Charles Dorals as quarterback, won the first major Interactional victory for the west over the east by defeat ing Army, 35-13, In 1913. In five years as fooball coach Har per's teams won 33 games and lost five. Army and Nebraska beat the Irish twice and Yale once during Harper's regime. When Harper retired he wanted either Rockne or Dorals to succeed him. The pair planned to settle It by tossing a coin, but Rockne mar ried and Dorals gracefully withdrew from the running. Harper was graduated from Chi cago in 1904 and was football coach at Wabash college, Cruwiordsvlllc, Ind., for three years before going to Notre Dame. Harper left Notre Dame in 1918 to take over his ranch interests at Sit ka, Kan., near Wichita, and less than 100 miles from where Rockne met his death last month In an air plane accident. It is understood that he will re ceive a salary of $15,000, although the Rev. Charles L. O'Donnell, pres ident of the university, did net men tion salary or term of contract In making the announcement.

Vofimik probably won't put the Cleveland Indians In the world series, but he couldn't create any more of a baseball hysteria here If he did. In Just one week, the strap ping, blond youngster from the sandlots has smashed his way Into a regular ob In the big time In a fairy story manner. Besides making the jump straight from the sandlots to the majors, Vosmik has made good In his home town something that rarely hap pens In the big leagues. He didn't play the opening game because Mr.nager Roger Peekinpaugn thought he might be too nervous. But in the five games since then he has lashed out six singles, five doubles, two triples and a home run in 22 times at bat. It figures out at an average of .636. It all may turn out to be Just an other flash in the pan, but these who watch him are confident he'll stick. He hits 'em slow and fast. high and low, In. a natural manner. The trible wouldn't have had Vos mik hadn't they decided to take Cleveland's two best sandlotters south with them this spring. "I always wanted to be a ball player,' Vosmik said, "but I never thought seriously I could until then, I made up my mind I'd try for it.'
