...proper and desirable function of a professional coach does not include the personal conduct and direction of a game from the side lines or the bench. Such a practice amounts to the same thing as prompting an actor from behind the scenes.

For the last fifteen years he has been a physician, a missionary, and a writer, and is a speaker of wide experience. Among his books are "Indian Boyhood," and "Red Hunters and Animal People...

In fact, several College men took courses in telegraphy, typewriting, and shorthand last year...
