Floyd Millet, left, took over the duties of head coach this year after Eddie Kimball enlisted in the naval reserve. Millet was the man behind the team which beat Utah. As his assistant the athletic council called upon genial Paul Rose, right, who aided Floyd in all sports. Rose came to the B. Y. U. from Murray High School where he made an excellent record in football. Although a grad- uate of the U of U, Paul was just as tickled as any Y fan with the mem- orial victory. At right is Captain Herman Long- hurst who piloted the Cougars dur- ing the year. Herman, who is called Herm by his pals, had a great year in the backfield and was one of the most slippery hipped backs to ever attend the B. Y. U. 23

Above is the stadium house with a group of typical Y coeds enjoying their physical education period while the block Y on the mountain side looks down and remembers the thousands of girls as well as athletic heroes that have trod through the stadium house. As well as being headguarters for sports the house also has two rooms set aside for phys. ed. classes. At left, Coach Floyd Millet sits in the warm autumn sun after a hard practice dreaming and planning of the coming vic- tory on the next week-end. A hard worker, Millet very seldom let the players go before the sun was near setting unless it was the day before a game. 22
