opinion of this committee that lehigh s ath letics have suffered through the following agencies i n e'ffi c lent coaching insufficient expenditures for equipment and for the physical comfort of the men lack of pub licity regarding the athletic com mittee proceedings and through the fact that the executive com mittee of the athletic association has acquired powers not intended for it in addition we feel that the present system of electing athletic managers and student representa tives of the athletic committee is not to the best interest of athletics before proceeding with the de tailed report of the committee we wish to say that the recent commu nication received from the pitts burg alumni association contains in a large part the type of instances which have given rise to our criti cisms of present conditions coaching it is the unanimous opinion of this committee that first-class coaching should be furnished all major and minor sports and that no man should be allowed to coach more than one sport in addition we recommend that only yearly contracts be made with coaches it is the unanimous opinion of j this committee that a change of i foot ball coach should be made before
