Charles Sfudley Chosen As Head Redmen Coach Charles B. Chuck Studley, line coach at the University of Illinois for the past five years, has been chosen to succeed Charlie O ' Rourke as the Redmen ' s head coach. O ' Rourke had resigned at the conclusion of the 1959 season after eight years as head Redmen football coach. Director of Athletics Warren McGuirk commented: The Uni- versity feels very fortunate to have been able to secure the serv- ices of Charles Studley to guide its football program. He is a high- ly respected young coach who has made a tremendous impression in the Big Ten . . . A native of Maywood, Illinois, Studley spent two years in the U.S. Navy following graduation from Pontiac (111.) High School. He was a letterman at the Uni- versity of Illinois for three years as a guard. He also captained the 1951 Illinois squad which was Big Ten Champion and went on to defeat Stanford University 40-7 in the 1952 Rose Bowl Game A spokesman for the screening committee indicated that Stud- ley ' s youth was a major factor in his selection, for we wanted a dynamic young coach for a young dynamic state university.
