All of the teams have been coached by Kenneth C. Beatty who has served with no financial remuneration whatsoever, without the assistance of coach Beatty it is doubtful whether the teams would have ever been put out. The college as a whole owes to Coach Beatty, and the Athletic Committee, a debt it can never repay. Both for the school spirit developed by the teams, and the mental and physical development of the squads.
