(U.R) Brutus Hamilton, coach of the United States triumphant 1952 Olympic track and field squad, planned today to devote his full ener gies to coaching after stepping down as athletic director of the University of California. The University announced Hamilton's resignation last night. The announcement said the 55- year-old mentor would continue as UC's track coach,' a position he had held since 1932. Hamilton, wrote the executive committee of the Associated Stu dents of the university that his action . was "not the result of pressure from any student, fac ulty or alumni group." His re lations with those groups were "most pleasant," he said. Heavy Burden "Tjhis resignation is brought about ; by the feeling that the burdens and responsibilities of directing the largest intercolle giate program on the coast have grown to such an extent in the last few years that I can not de vote sufficient time to my track boys or my track program."
