Steve Farrell, Hold
Coaching Reco
Coach Stephen J. Farrell, who has
successfuly piloted Wolverine track
teams 'through eight seasons of Con-
ference competition, was an athlete of
no mean ability in his prime. Steve
attached himself to Michigan in 1913
as track coach and one needs but to
look at the enviable place the Wol-
verines hold in the cinder sport to
realize the success he has attained.
It was in 'the days of Hap Haff that
Farrell started Michigan on the way
to success on the track and field. Steve
came to Michigan an experienced track
athlete as well as a coach who had
proven his ability at imparting infor

Dog to Blame for Broken Ankle
It was an accident that terminated
Steve's career as a runner and con-
signed him to the position of coach.
While he was practicing for a race,
an enthusiastic dog, playing the role
of villain, ran on to the track and
tripped Farrell, who sustained a brok-
en ankle as the result of the fall. Pro-
fessional competition was now of
course out of the question. This in-
cident perhaps explains Steve's in-
tolerant attitude to all curious ca-
nines who stick their noses arounft
the cinder track at Ferry field.
Coached Maine and Ohio
Having received so thorough a train-
ing in track it was only natural that
Michigan's present mentor should fol*
low this line of work after tie was put
out of active competition. In e'dditian
to several prep schools, he coached
the University of Maine for seven
years -and Ohio State for three sea-
sons. At these institutions he also
held the position of football trainer.
For ive summers the Montreal Ath-
letic club claimed his services and one
fall Old Eli summoned the retired
athlete to assist 'Mike Murphy in the
early training for the New Haven
