...administrative post of director of athletics, amazing young Harry Kipke took his place. In four years (1930-33) his teams lost only one game. But in addition to being a good strategist, teacher and psychologist, a modern coach must have a capable staff of scouts. He must develop sensational stars, draw crowds that can retire the bonds on an expensive stadium.
