Traviolia promises Rotarians a go-go football season

The Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary club got a sneak-preview of next year’s football season, as promised by Harold (“Hal”) Traviolia, who was recently signed on as head football coach for Wawasee high school. Coach Traviolia made his first appearance before any area civic group Tuesday afternoon at the Rotary club’s meeting at Maxwelton golf course dining room. He told his listeners he first coached at Bicknell, now North Knox, for three years, then went to Muncie South Side for eight years. He left Muncie and became athletic director at Lake Central high school in Lake county for four years before coming to Wawasee. Promises Athletic Code He promised a hard-hitting season next year, commenting that young athletes and good young men are synonymous in his league. He called himself “no Messiah,” but that he hoped to develope a football team based on good sound principles. He also promised a football code: Character, desire, determination and pride. He said he would tell his players they would lose very little in being polite, adding that “you can’t run around with the owls at night and compete with the eagles in the daytime.” He plans to tell his players, “Life is like a bikini: It’s what you put in it that counts.” Coach Traviolia said, “Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser. We plan to be good sports but not good losers.” Rotarians liked his philosophy and were pleased with his presentation. He said we want to play a wide open ball game . . . throw the ball, and cover those corners. He said there is no substitute for ability . . . “don’t let anyone kid you.” Coach Traviolia said, “We want to play crowd pleasing football, and that means winning.” He said in Lake county the Lions club where he spoke told him, “We’re with you, win or draw.” He said were going to play hard and dominate our opponent. He wants good, hard-nosed players on his team next year. In a question and answer session, coach Traviolia said he would make no predictions, but promised “we’ll play them all.’J.. In his opening remarks, coach, Traviolia said he saw Wawasee high school as “second to none” in his opinion. And he praised its special education program, calling _WHS a pioneer in this field. The speaker was introduced by Phil Jones, in charge of the summer athletic program at Wawasee Prep. John Call, a new architect in Syracuse, was inducted into the club.
