FISHER WILL AGAIN BE HEAD COACH OF FOOTBALL

Robert T. Fisher '12 will retain his position as head coach of the University football team, according to an announcement made last night by the Athletic Committee.

In the face of Coach Fishers' recent emphatic statement that he could not possibly devote his time to coaching next fall, the announcement was more or less of a surprise. It has been known, however, for some time that pressure was being brought to bear to induce him to reconsider his withdrawal.
