Show EileryH. Clark to Coach Harvard Field Athletes Boston, Sept. 4. Ellery H. Clark, former Harvard and Boston Athletic Association athlete, will succeed J. Fred Powers as coach of the Harvard field athletes when college reopens in the Fall. Dr. Paul Whltington will enter the Boston City Hospital late this year, and the uppolntmont means that Clark will assist Graduate Treasurer Fred. W. Moore In the same capacity as did Dr. Whltington, who will assist Percy Huughton with the football coaching. Powers' work has been entirely eat- i isfactory to the Harvard authorities, but the advent of Clark will solve the problem of finding a successor to Dr. Whltington. Clark Is well versed in all branches of field sports, having won the all-round all-round championship of the Amateur Athletic Union In 1S97 and 1903. This title was won by J. Fred Powers, representing re-presenting St. Paul's Lyceum, Worcester, Wor-cester, in 1899 Harvard's polo vaulters and high jumpers improved rapidly under the direction of Powers, but Harvard was weak, as usual, in the broad jump. High-class shot putters and hammer throwers also were not numerous. It is said that the Worcester man will be offered the track coaching position at Brown University, vacated recently by the resignation of Edward O'Connor. Powers may accept the proposed offer William F. Donovan, familiarly known to Harvard men as 'Pooch," has signed to train the Harvard football foot-ball players and coach the track athletes ath-letes for two more yoars. 00 |
