EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS TO DIRECTOR HUFF REGARDING THE COACHING SCHOOL

Tom Johnson, Marinette High School, Marinette, Wisconsin, I)i imber 21, 1921.

N REGARD to the Coaching School, the most important things that I gathered were the fundamentals of every game, especially football. I am a firm believer in teaching good fundamental football before any other thing. I found out to my own satisfaction as a coach that a team well drilled in fundamentals will win out in the long run. Fundamental football is one thing that Zup stressed all during the six weeks' course. I have heard numerous remarks about the University of Illinois Coaching School, especially the Summer Course.

R. \ . Fargo, Physical Dirt tor, Jollet Twp. High School, Joliet, III I). 15, 1921.

"The Summer Course which I attended at the University has been a lot of help in my work this year. After the year's experience handling coaching, I feel that another Summer at Illinois would be even more valuable than the last."

Geo. E. < i HI Ai ctorofAthlet , Tempe Normal School of A i >n , June 21, r>20.

"Thanks to your pointers furnished me last year (attended 1919 Slimmer School), 1 was able lo turn out my Second State Championship Baseball Team in the three years that I have been here. We have been credited with one Championship in Basketball."
