20 THE A R T I S A N S 32 The Coaching Staff What a man! yell the bleacherites as they see their favorite sprinter coast to an easy victory, and the crowd marvels at the style and strength of the runner. But back of that victory lay long hours of practiced coaching. So fine a coaching staff as ours is rarely assembled. Sid F. Foster — Coach Foster ' s own college career was replete with athletic glory. Once that of a baseball star, a backfield threat, and the world record holder for the 60 yard dash, his name is still a power at Occidental College. His first years at Manual found Toiler teams reaping state championships. In A.A.U. circles he is sage of all things locally athletic. James J. Blezvct.t — An alumnus of Manual and a former athletic great under Coach Foster, Coach Blewett stands high in the favor of the students and alumni. With but one letterman out of sixteen returning from a championship football team, he produced an erratic but ])rilliant eleven which tied for second place among twelve schools. His class B track team this season sought its third straight championship. James P. Armstrong — Rated cellar-champions by experts, a Toiler varsity basketball team swept to one amazing victory after another and finished the season as undefeated champions, a splended tribute to Coach Armstrong ' s patient instruc- tion. Coach Armstrong also coaches the B football and C track teams, which have had their share of pennants. Charles Toiicy — Another Manual alumnus, schooled by Coach Foster, Coach Toney found fame at the University of California, where he played beside the Homeric Brick Muller on Andy Smith ' s wonder team. He returned to Manual to guide the varsity track squad, which twice in a row huriibled L.A. High, taking the city champions in 1930 and in 1931, missing every championship by a hair ' s breadth. As line coach of the varsity football team, each year Coach Toney turns out a formidable squad Iioasting all-city players. Arthur Williams — The famous Toiler gym teams, which went nine years without defeat, have won championship laurels every year under Coach Williams. His duties also include the coaching of the Class B football team. Herbert F. Lougheed — The exacting task and necessary one of corrective gym instructor, under whose care many boys are guarded against misery in later life by careful correction of physical faults in their youth, is in the capable hands of Coach Lougheed. Until the withdrawal of Manual from baseball league he was also varsity baseball coach.
