PITTSBURGH GETS GLEN WARNER AS COACH

Glen S. Warner, famous coach of the Carlisle Indian football team, and previous to that head coach at Cornell university, has been elected coach of the University of Pittsburgh football team. It is stated that Warner has a three-year-contract with the university to direct the football forces. The name “Warner” is known to every follower of intercollegiate football and the owner of that name is regarded as one of the brainiest football directors that game has ever produced. Warner has the knack of teaching football to 'recruits that perhaps no other coach in the country possesses, this being brought out prominently by his work at Carlisle, where he was compelled to develop a football team capable of meeting the best-trained teams in the country, out of a squad of Indians, the majority of whom had never seen a football until they went to the government school. It was he who first saw the possibilities of an “open game” and developed that style of game for the Indian team until it was the terror of all the big colleges of the laud. Warner’s success with this style of play caused other coachesof many big universities to follow after him.
