UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Intercollegiate Athletic Council administets, sub- ject to all the University regulations relating thereto and to the jurisdiction of the General Faculty, the President, and the Board of Regents, all athletic games, meets, exhibitions, and contests, with other colleges or outside organizations; that is, all matters connected with the conduct of intercollegiate athletics and extramural sports except the enforcement of eligibility rules, which is within the control of the Faculty Committee on Intercol- legiate Athletics. These duties to the University make this group respon- sible for the scheduling of all games, hiring of coaches, and awarding of letters. That these duties are arduous is undebatable,- that they are efficiently administered is proved by the status of the University in the world of intercollegiate sport. The Athletic Council has developed from a small unit, a faculty committee, to one of the most important executive and administrative committee organs of the University. Professor W. E. Metzenthin is Director of Athletics and Chairman of the Council, a post which he has held for four years, hie and two other faculty representatives. Dr. A. E. Cooper and Dean V. I. Moore, are appointed by the President of the University. The Students ' Asso- ciation elects one member to the Council through its Assembly; student representative for this year is Hill FHodges, also President of The Students ' Association. Ralph Goeth is the representative of the Ex-Students ' W. E. METZENTHIN Chairman Association, which also is entitled to one representative on the Council. Ed Olle is Secretary and sits on the Council, although he has no vote. The Council maintains an office in Gregory Gymnasium under the management of Ed Olle, who also acts as busi- ness manager, for the transaction of all business. The staff includes Fred Schaffner, publicity director; Miss Alice Archer, office secretary; and George Harris, director of football ticket sales.

COACHING STAFF ED OLLE, M. B. A., a three letter athlete and an honor student while in the University, is varsity basketball coach. He came to the Steers in 1929 as business manager of intercollegiate athletics and sec- retary to the Athletic Council. In those positions his efficient work was of material aid in strengthening the financial position of the Athletic Council. In 1931 he became basketball coach without pay, replacing Fred Walker. An inspirational coach, he won a championship that year, losing only one game in twenty. In 1934 his team was the smallest in stature of any Conference team, but even with this handicap it managed to make a ver credit- able showing. Olle resigned at the close of the 1934 season to devote more time to his duties as business manager. ROY McLEAN, M. A., is coach of cross-country and instructor in wrestling in the Department of Physical Trainirig. hie works with the football staff in plotting the charts of all games and in con- nection with this work makes all trips with the squad. His teams in cross-country have been consistent winners in the Southwest Conference, having held the champion- ship for two seasons past, sharing the title with the Aggies for 1933. CURTIS SHORTY ALDERSON, M.A., LLB., is coach of fresh- man football, track and varsity swimming. In addition to these duties he acts as football scout for the varsity. Al- though he never earned a varsity letter while in the Uni- versity, his record of reserve letters stands unchallenged. ED OLLE Basketball coach and business manager of Intercollegiate athletics Familiar with the fundamentals of all sports, and an authority on the rules of football, he is proved one of the most valuable of the coaching staff. He is an excellent foot- ball official, and one of the best scouts in the country. Alderson ' s swimming teams hold all except one South- west Conference record, having consistently won all dual meets. In 1932, 1933, and 1934, the Texas swim- mers made more points in conference competition than all other teams combined. ■n ALDERSON, Coach, freshman football, tracic and varsity swimmins CLARK FIELD McLEAN, Cross-country coach, wrestling instructor Page 19s
