I belleve, was staff in some “Spears started his four-year re- gime at West Virginia in 1921. His 1922 team was undefeated and downed Gonzaga university, coached by Gus Dorais, now of Detroit, and one of the outstanding teams on the coast that season, in a post- feason game at San Diego, Cal. “Thus I think you'l: d 1t was Spears who coached Dartmouth in 20 and also that the East's last victory was gained by a Spears- inia team in 1922. West Vi s located at Morgantown in the middle of the Alleghenies and about four or five miles below the Mason-Dixon line, but it plays en Eastern schedule in nearly all sports and desires to be regarded as an Eastern team. “Next fall, by the way, West| Virginia enters a new football re-| gime under Earle (Greasy) Neale, one of the few major league ball players to make good as a college | football coach.” | Mr. Gunning is quite correct—on | both counts. Jackson Cannell was| not head coach at Dartmouth in! 1920, as we reported, but merely an assistant. He took over the head ching job in 1921, yielding the P to Jesse Hawley in 1923 and returned to it in 1929, to serve a| second term.
