Princeton Mentor Old Hand at Coaching Art

When the Princeton eleven takes the field tomorrow afternoon, it will put on display the coaching techniques of a man who has been in the business 19 years.

Charles W. Caldwell Jr. has been coaching football at Princeton for only two years, but in that time he has managed to pull off two major Ivy League upsets.

Two Upsets

The more stunning of the two was the 17 to 14 upending of a previously un-have had no previous Corps experience, beaten Pennsylvania last year, but that should not have surprised Tiger rooters, who knew how Caldwell's 1945 aggregation had whipped a highly touted Cornell team, 14 to 6.

Caldwell came to Princeton in 1945, and his selection as the fifteenth man to hold the position of head coach revived a Bengal tradition that an alumnus should always be found in that post. Caldwell was a member of the Class of 1925.

Before he came to Princeton, the 45 year old native of Bristol, Virginia, coached for 17 years at Williams. In his triple capacities of football, baseball, and basketball mentor, he complied an over-all winning average of .588.

Three Assistants

The three men who assist Caldwell in his Varsity activities are Cappy Cappon on the ends, Dick Coleman on the line, and Jud Timm on the backs. Cappon has been assistant football coach at Old Nassau since 1938, serving as chief basketball mentor during the off season.

Both Coleman and Timm came to Princeton with Caldwell in 1945. Timm also is in charge of spring track, while Coleman handles lacrosse.
