Coach John Pont

Local Rotarians Will Hear III Grid Coach

John Pont, newly hired head football coach at Indiana University. will be the guest speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Greencastle Rotary Club Wednesday noon in the Student Union Building. I.U. atudents and I.U. alumni are hoping that Pont will lead the Hoosier gridders out of the rut in Big Ten competition. Dynamic John Pont, who typifies the new generation of head football coaches, brought an unbroken record of success, both as player and coach, to Indiana University from Miami and Yale with his appointment on Jan. 22.

1965.

But challenge is a big word to John Pont and when Indiana went seeking a replacement for resigned Phil Dickens, John couldn't resist, although it meant leaving the security and comfort of an established pro-

gram.

Any Indiana alumnus in this community who wishes to hear C^ich Pont may call the Student Union Director's office for a luncheon reservation.
