Thirty of the York (Canada). piled a 39-1-6 record over a five-year span. John Pont took over after Parseghian went to Northwestern and af- ter seven years, one Glenn E. Schembechler inherited the reigns. Coaching from 1963 to 1968 at Miami, Schembechler compiled a 40-6-14 record including two Mid - American Conference Championships. Bill Mallory,t who replaced Schembechler, led his team through a perfect 11-0 season last year that won him the head spot at Colorado. The secret to Miami's suc- cess can be traced back to 1924 when Athletic Director George Rider, in an effort to enlarge the athletic program at Miami, brought in Chet Pittser from Illinois to coach football, and with his help introduced some of the first coaching classes in the country. Jay Colville, athletic trainer at Miami since 1924 and now retired, has seen the coaching tradition at Miami from its very beginning. The innovation "rais- ed a few eyebrows" Colville states, admitting that "Not much was known even about training in those days." Another man attributed for making Miami's "Cradle of Coa ch es" tradition and strengthening it, was Sid Gillman. Referred to by Colo- rado's Mallory as "A very fine football coach and a man ahead of his time," Gillman began coaching at Miami in 1944 and helped rebuild an athletic program that had fallen into disrepair: Weeb Ewbank notes yet an- other reason why Miami men mentors have succeeded in coaching pro- back and NCAA track finalist, fessions.

"We had the opportunity to see Miami has built a tradition great people win and the dedi- that has bred success as more cation and total commitment and more Miami men follow that was needed to win." An example of the perpetu- ity of the tradition can be seen on the sidelines this weekend at the Michigan- Colorado game. Not only are both coaches Miami grads but no less than five assistants are ex-Redskins. For the Buf- faloes Ron Corradini ('61) is defensive end coach and Gary Durchik ('67) is offensive guards and centers coach. For Michigan Tirrell Burton ('56), a two-time MAC offensive their predecessors into the col- legiate ranks. Northwestern's John Pont sums up the attitude nurtured at "The Cradle of Coaches": "You have to show a professional attitude. This is something that is tradition. It is built in and carries over from one class to another. Then there is this idea of success breeding success and you hate to be the first coach to lose if you come from Miami. This is a tradition in itself." P * -. :.S:A P Photo Michi AP Photo ('51) is PLAYERS HEAR A LOT OF CRAZY STORIES during the heat of a pennant race.

Coach "Fielding H. Feldman" sent his team through extensive drills as the Libels practiced behind closed doors. "I don't want any of those reporters or spys from the jealous athletic department snooping around and stealing our plays,": said Feldman in a terse statement to the throngs of scribes waiting behind the barbed wire. One member of the Libels machine, who wishes to remain anonymous, was reached at his home by the press. After accepting statements swearing their commitment to secrecy the press received his impressions of the first workout. "Feldman is vicious. The calisthenics weren't bad, but that speech at halftime!?! No wonder the Libels are so good, they're taking out their utter frustrations on the opponents," cried the lanky junior quarterback from New York. One thing you should do is get those gridde pickings into the Daily by midnight Friday for the Pizza Bob pizza.
