...Percy D. Haughton '99 will continue as head coach of the University football team next fall, while Leo Leary '05 will be field coach. This decision was formally announced at the meeting of the Athletic Committee held last evening. This action of Haughton's is a great source of satisfaction to the whole University, since it was feared that the new business duties which have devolved upon him as president of the Boston Braves would compel him to give up coaching the University team.

As Haughton's baseball duties as owner of the Boston Braves are heavy, particularly until the close of the baseball season in October, he will not have time until well into the fall to as sume complete charge of the University team. It is therefore probable that Leary will act as field coach. Brickley has signed a contract to return to coach the Johns Hopkins eleven next...
