A variety of rumors ru-mors have been circulated relative to tho resignation of Coach Clayton Tryon Teetzel, for seven years athletic ath-letic director at the Utah Agricultural college, most of which are entirely v.ithout foundation. Teetzel handed hi3 resignation to the board of trustees trus-tees of the college about a month ago and since then no further action has uci-u uttvt:ii, jlcul.u! sun uuius iu title of professor of physical education educa-tion at the A. C. Ho takes no active part In the work, however, having turned tho responsibility of rearing a basketball team over to Coach Ofstie, tho Wisconsin man who arrived in Logan Lo-gan last week to do this work. The report that Teetzel is considering consid-ering a number of positions, particularly particu-larly one in southern California, is not truo and is emphatically denied by Teetzel. Because Teetzel at one time intimated that he would spend some time in California this year to take a rest from his coaching duties, some persons at once fostered tho idea that Teetzel was seeking the position po-sition left vacant by the resignation of Coach Glaze at the University of Southern California. Teetzel says that he is through with the coaching game and wishes to go Into business. He got his LL. B. from Michigan in 1900. Since then he has passed the Utnh state bar examination, and would prefer to practice law Likely Like-ly Teetzel will remain in Logan, as he has an unlimited number of friends in this vicinity. It was also reported that the students stu-dents of tho Agricultural college were about to circulate a petition to retain Teetzel. This may be agitated by a few who have been closely connected with the coach last year, but such a move would not bo sanctioned by the student body at the school. When Teetzel leaves the college, he leaves with the good will of every student, faculty member and friend of the college. col-lege. Teetzel has worked under handicaps han-dicaps during much of the period that he has been at the U. A. C, which fact many persons have not taken into consideration Teetzel is well liked all over the state for his truo sportsmanship and the way in which he has treated all with whom he has come in contact In an athletic way. Should Teetzel accept a position as coach in another school, there is little lit-tle doubt but what he would be successful. |
