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.

A SENSATION IN
BASEBALLWORLD
Cleveland ffi Trls Speaker, Nap
Lajole, Stan Coveleakie they were
great ball players, but It s Joe Vos
mik now.
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.'

wading in midstream in some in
stances, from sunup to sundown.
Dally catches up to the legal limit
are common. Sportsmen here have
the streams re-stocked with trout
from the state hatcheries from
year to year. Many from Portland
and other cities came here to fish
over the weekend.
