THE 1.911 PEAN 5 George S. Connors 'I' EORGE Samuel Connors was born in London, England, on january 11, 1870. He early took up athletics and soon achieved a considerable reputation as a runner in England. In February, 1888, he came to this country to compete in a six-day race in Madison Square Garden, New York. After successfully taking part in many other races, he spent nine years as trainer at Carlisle, University of Chicago, and Cornell University. On February 8, 1901, he was secured as athletic coach of the Academy, which position he occupies at the present time. In the summer of 1897, he married Miss Elizabeth Lettese Roden, of Chicago. To Exeter he has rendered invaluable service as coach of the track team and trainer of the football team. Since his coming, the majority of the dual meets with Andover and of the interscholastic meets in which the teams have participated, have been won. To his ability as a coach the records of the men he has trained amply testify. To his unfailing courtesy and kindness as a man, the regard in which he is held by every student of the Academy is sufficient witness. fsJw.ex 1
