POWERS THAT BE | WANT ZWICK'S SCALP Principal Slade Demands That Athletic Council Discharge Him chronicled in the Herald, and repudiated by the faculty members of the High schaol athletic council, there is a serious breach be- tween that board and the powers that be.,, The latest chapter in what looks As previously like the beginning of a more or less sensational wrangle, is the demand of Principal Louis P. Slade that the council remove Dr, Frank Zwick as athletic Indications are that’ the faculty members of the council, Marshall Davis, James C. Moody and Willlam E. Fay will abide by the Prineipal's order, which, in the opinion of other members of the coun- cil, is but a whim of Superintendent of Schools Stanley H. Holmes. Two of the graduate members of the council, Howard Timbrell and John H. Curtin, declare they interference coach. however, emphatically will permit no outside with_their management of schoal ath- letiéd and will not abide by the com- mand. If it comes to a showdown they will resign. In this they have the backing of the alumni body and if the issue becomes acute there is little doubt but that athletics at the High school will be dead as far as alumni interest is concerned, Demand Zwick’s Removal. flast week members of the athletic council and Principal Slade held an informal meeting at which the prin- cipal urged that the board take no final ‘action towards appointing Dr. Zwick as coach. Hig first argument was that it would be more courteous to wait until the new athletic instruc- tor at the school could pass upon him but further discussion proved the fallacy of this argument and finally Principal Slade admitted that he was simply voicing the sentiments of Su- perintendent Holmes. The cauncil had previously been informed that the cuperintendent of schools had made the assertion that he would not stand for having Dr. Zwick reappointed coach. This meeting adjourned with | the alumni members of the council, at least, determined to stick by the coach. Then came the following letter Monday to Secretary Davis: “My dear Mr. Davis: Because of the publicity given through the press, to our informal deliberations of Wed- nesday evening, it would hardly be subversive of harmony and efficiency in the high school administration and irrthe conduct of our athletic activi ties to allow the coach recently ap- pointed by the athletic council ta scrve during the coming year. It therefore becomes my duty to inform you that the services of a coach as provided by the council action of June 916, cannot be accepted by me as | principal.” Signed, Louis P. Slade. If.seems inconsistent to the alumni body that any coach should be dis- charged because certain publicity ha Leen given meetings held by the coun- cil. It also appears rather strange to them, that the principal af the school should be the last word in the man- agement of athletics. If the prin- | cipal’s word is final, then what need is ghere for any council at all, argue the High school students and alumni. Coach Won't Resign. Dr. Zwick states that he will pay no attention to any request far his resignation and if he is to be removed as coach it must be by action of the council. CONN.
