Cappon To Keep Positions
As Assistant Athletic
Director, Cage Coach
Kipke On Lookout
For Capable Man
Board Takes Early Action
To Remove Speculation
On Kipke'sStatus
By FRED DE LANO
Harry G. Kipke will continue as
Michigan's head football coach, the
Board in Control of Physical Educa-
tion announced late yesterday.
Definitely spiking all rumors to the
contrary, Prof. Ralph W. Aigler,
chairman of the Board, said that
Kipke's contract has been renewed
for one year, the period for which
all University coaches are hired.
However, one change will be made
in the personnel of the coaching staff
in that a new man will be hired to
fill the position of head line coach.
As is the practice in making additions
to the staff, this man will be selected
by Coach Kipke with the approval of
Director of Athletics Fielding H.
Yost.
Action Taken Early
Franklin C. Cappon, line coach for
the past two seasons, will become as-
sistant line coach, but will continue
in his capacity as assistant athletic
director and head basketball coach.
Kipke stated yesterday that at pres-
ent he has no idea of who will be
selected to fill the position. He will
immediately start seeking a capable
man for the job
It has not been the policy of the
Board to take actidn or make an-
nouncements as to staff personnel for
the succeeding year until spring, but
desiring to set at rest the speculation
that has been current for several
weeks in regard to the Michigan
coaches the Board decided to act yes-
terday.
Junior Squad Planned
Upon the recommendation of
Coach Kipke, with the approval of
Director Yost, the Varsity staff of
coaches will be as follows: Line Coach
-(to be chosen); Assistant Line
Coach-Franklin C, Cappon; End
Coach-Bennie Oosterbaan; Back-
field Coach-Walter Weber.
It was also announced that a
Junior Varsity squad will be organ-
ized with Coach Ray Courtright in
charge and Coach Clifford Keen as
assistant. It is hoped that a limited
schedule of games for this squad may
be airanged. The last time such a
squad was formed was in 1931, and
that, season it played seven games
with such teams as Western State
Teachers College and "B" teams of
other Big Ten schools.
Training Staff Approved
Kipke has approved the training
staff, which is headed by Ray Rob-
erts, and it will be continued in its
present form. The freshman foot-
ball squad will be in charge of Coach
Ray Fisher with Coach William Borg-
mann and others working as assist-
ants.
Speculation has been rife since
Christmas upon the status of the
Michigan coaches, Kipke's in particu-
lar, and the Board's action in re-
taining the present staff, following by
less than a week its announcement
that it planned action to revive
Michigan's successful grid teams,
expresses its confidence in Coach
Kipke,
Kipke has been at the helm of
Michigan football for eight seasons,
and in that time has won four Wes-
tern Conference championships. His
first team, that of 1929, had a fair
year and then in 1930 the Wolverines
started a drive that carried them to
the top of American football. The

1930, '31, '32 and '33 teams were Big
Ten title holders and in the two lat-
ter years were ranked as National
Champions.
Recent Record Poor
Then followed a deluge of defeats
that has lasted through three sea-
sons. In 1934 Michigan won one
game and lost seven; the following
year four games were won and four
lost; and this past season Columbia
was the only team beaten in eight
games.
