MUSICIAN LEAVES FOR NEW YORK stay with her present class. duties of Bob McNeish, for two years mentor of the Bulldog var¬ sity, who last week received an offer which takes him to the Tro¬ jan campus to act as head coach of the frosh gridiron squad. Mallory will start here in the fall, as Mc¬ Neish is remaining long enough to finish spring practice with the squad. Mallory was selected from eight candidates for the position. He, as well as McNeish played on the Tro¬ jan varsity eleven, preceding him by a short time. Together they are two of the most unsung, unher¬ alded, yet widely known football players that ever trod a Southland gridiron. Takes Trobabes McNeish will take over control of the Trobabes in September, at the start of the new school year. At the same time Mallory will as¬ sume control here. McNeish will continue to coach the rest of this semester, and will tutor the men turning out for spring practice. Probably one of the reasons for Mallory’s nomination to the posi¬ tion is the fact that being a USC graduate he will teach at least a much similar system to the one McNeish proved so successful here. McNeish will have absent from his alma mater for three years, during which time he has been building up one of the most envi¬ able records of any coach in the Southland. Replaces Adams McNeish will replace Hobbs Ad¬ ams, captain of the 1925 team, first coached by Howard Jones at South¬ ern California, and Adams will move up to the varsity staff after two rather successful seasons (Continued on Page Pour) Shakespeare Contest Held Ruth Doolittle contest prelimi¬ naries in the interpretation of Shakespeare were held yesterday in 100T.
