EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS TO DIRECTOR HUFF REGARDING THE COACHING SCHOOL

Wm. J. Ronnie. Waukeftaa, Illinois. April 17, 1<>:<>.

T WAS my privilege to attend your Summer School Course for Coaches during the summer of 1919. Any success I have had here I attribute to the knowledge of fundamentals which was obtained from the courses which I took in your school. "The courses have proven to be of inestimable value to me in all phases of my athletic work. "Enclosed please find a newspaper account of my football season this year. You will notice that we won 8 out of 9 games. During my past two seasons in basketball we have won 34 and lost 9 games.

" I was there part of the s u m m e r for the Coaching Course and feel that I owe my success so far to the University. It was through Illinois that this place was opened to me and I have worked mighty hard to turn out a winning team. We have played five games and have won them all."

S. A. Tenison. Director of Athletics. S t a t e Normal School. Stevens Point, Wisconsin. February IS, 1920.

" I think your Summer Course for Coaches ranks on its merits as the best in the country "While here at the State Normal School/1 have had good success in football, track and especially basketball."
