COACHING STAFF I he coaching staff of George Rogers Clark is made up of four men, each heading a different branch of athletics. As each ol the men is Irom a different college, their combined theories help to make Clark an outstanding school in every line ol sports. Coach R. W. Cunningham Irom Indiana is Physical Education Director and is in charge ol track and wrestling. Under his supervision track, and more especially wrestl- ing, have risen to a level almost equal with basketball and football. Coach L. H. I ay lor from Michigan is in charge ol varsity football and basketball. It is Coach I ay lor who whips the men into first class form after receiving them from Coach Cox. Coach R. C. Cox. who hails from Ball State I cachers College, has charge ol grade school football, basketball, and track. It is be who gives the boys their first taste ol athletics and teaches them the necessary fundamentals. Mr. Raymond Harris Irom Illinois is in charge of tennis and freshman basketball and is assistant track coach.
