W1LsoN Prof, Wilson has been of great assistance in the last two years since the departure of Capt. Lewis A. Omer. He has helped greatly in keeping athletics at Northwestern up to their usual standard. FRED J. NIURPHY I Fred Nlurphy came to Northwest- ern in IQI3 and during his stay there has been a steady improvement in the Purple teams. In 1916 Murph77 developed a team that was feared throughout the Conference. He gave to Northwestern what was wanted most-a winning football team. Bus- iness reasons compelled him -to resign this year. The news of his resignation was received with a great deal of regret, for NIurphH was liked by every one as coach, friend and gentle- man. We wish him all the success in the world in his new undertaking.
