OFFICIAL HOLDS INCENT PLUMPTON, Central High School student, charged with DETAILED TO PORTO RICO G ven Orders Before He Was Named as Head Mentor of West Point Gridmen—Must Be on Job All All Year to Be Successful. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, December 19.—It was learned today that Capt. John J McEwan, the newly appointed head coach in foot ball at West Point, was ordered to Porto Rico before the Army authofities | named him as successor to Maj. Daly. S8 now we have rather a curious state of affairs. For as the present situation stands. the man upon whom the Army’s foot ball destiny in 1923 depends must shortly break up his home on the dtademy reservation and depart for a place where foot ball is hardly in the air. as the saying is. How Capt. MeEwan feels about this may not be said, -but putting the mat- 1er'in & general way it may be stated that not half of the vital work per- formed by a head coach is done in the foot ball season.
