COACH HAUGHTON.

The appointment of a head coach for next season's football team removes no little anxiety from the minds of all supporters of Harvard athletics and the CRIMSON feels that the University is to be congratulated upon the selection of Mr. Haughton. Coach Haughton's qualifications speak for themselves. As an undergraduate he was famous for his brilliant athletic career, and later as coach of two football teams at Cornell which made creditable records, he proved his ability to handle men. Furthermore, he has been in continual touch with Harvard football teams for the last few years and was a valuable assistant to Coach Reid in the season of 1901.

The committee, appointed by Captain Burr last month to select a coach, is composed of men who have had long and varied experience in Harvard athletics, and any choice which it might make must be considered as the result of expert opinion. We therefore do not hesitate to predict that the new coach will have the whole-hearted support of the University in his endeavors to produce a winning team.
