Q SYLLABUS Us Tom Holland TRAINEP. AND TRACK COACH All the world admires the man who wins-but how about the trainer who has the goods but not the stuff to work with? Tom Holland came to us at an inopportune time, for himselfg at a time midway between the breaking up of an old system and the launching of a new one. We were yet unwilling to test the latter, so, with the odds all against him, he tried to give us what we wanted and almost failed. Yet before he left us he had one chance to show what he was made of. The Conference meet came to us almost at the last moment of his stay. With the best track in the West for the meet fand with a two man team, that had never trained consistently during any Part of the season, to do Northwestern's scoringj it was up to Tom to run off the most successful Conference meet in the history of the Big Nine -and he made good. From the report of the starter's pistol in the loo yard dash to the breaking of the world's record in the pole Vault, there was not a hitch. No trainer ever came to Northwestern who left behind more friends among the student body than did Tom Holland, and that alone bespeaks considerable for the spirit and ability of the man.
