THE RETIRING COACHING STAFF ing' year an all-alumni coaching' staff resulted in the loss to the Univer- sity of Florida of five men who had served capably and faithfully. They depart with the well-wishes of all Florida students and alumni. Coach Charles W. Bachman, All-American star at Notre Dame and former head coach at Northwestern and Kansas State, left early this year to become head coach at Michigan State. Baehman, consid- ered nationally to be an outstanding' authority on the Notre Dame system, produced during' his five years at Florida the high scoring team of the country in 1928 and the University's first All-American, Dale VanSickle. Warren C. Brady Cowell, as freshman football coach for nine years, turned out many of the outstanding' yearling' teams in the South- ern Conference. His teams had a record of 32 wins, 10 defeats and 2 ties. He also successfully coached varsity baseball and basketball for five years. Greatly admired by all students, Coach Cowell will be greatly missed. Nash Higgins will long be remembered over the State for having .coached varsity track teams which in six years lost but one dual meet, and for having trained Joe Hall, national decathlon star, Joe Jenkins, X holder of the Southern Conference discus record, and many other out- CHARLEb BACHMAN standing track men. He is widely recognized as an expert football scout. Iligggins also coached freshman track and was director of intra- mural athletics this year. Others who leave the University and whose- places will be hard to fill are Joe Holsinger, A. P. Pierson, and John Minardi. Holsinlrer was for five years the varsity backfield coach, freshman basketball coach, golf coach and for many years director of intramurals. Pierson was varsity line coach this season, and for the previous five years was assistant freshman football coach. Johnny Minardi, twice bantam-weight champion of the Southern Conference, has been the very successful coach of boxing for the past year. A. P. PIERSON FRANK WRIGHT BRADY COWELL R. G.
