After Dobie was graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1902 he took a posi- tion as assistant coach to Dr. Wil- liams, famous Minnesota mentor. In 1805 he started his regime as head coach at North Dakota. His teams went through two seasons without suffering defeat and then he moved on to the University of Washington, where he acted as the hysical director well as head oach for ten ye: Dobie then abandoned the Far and took up his post at the defeats the forecasis were no lon- ger funny. On the day Dobie resigned his post at Cornell, the Cornell Sun, stu- dent body daily newspaper, editor- ially condemned the coach's tra- ditional gloom. “Mr. Dobie’s pessimistic philoso- phy, frequently described as a ‘de- featist complex,” may be good stra- tegy when winning teams are as- sured,” said the editorial, “but when we have losing teams (either in spite of or because of it) this pes- simism spreads to every branch of athletic competition. “There has been no single factor that has contributed so much to dis- rupt Cornell's morale and to cre- ate dissent as the perpetual gloom emanating from the Schoellkop! gridiron.” Apparenuy poston College does feel exactly the same way about Dobie’s attitude, for at Chestnut Hill they were delighted with the news of his coming and made the famous coach weicome with a very satisfactory spring training session. And as Coach Dobie prepares his new charges for the 1936 campaign he does so with high hopes of stag- ing a comeback in his 32nd year of coaching. — o FUNERAL OF FRED JOHNSON ON MONDAY of Funeral services for Fred Johnson, found dead in his cabin recently, | will be held at 2 o'clock Monday af- | ternoon at the C.
