SPORTS HEAD I ■ Came To Clinton In 1914 From Michigan; l.s Captain of National (lUard Company, (ilood Citizen’ and Dean of Southern Coaches. B.v HUGH HOLMAN (I’uhlicity Director Presbyterian College) When more than .lO stalwart youths answer his call to football t.>gs on September 1, Walter Johnson will be starting his 2lJn(l^year as'head coach at Presbyterian college. In that time, the “happy warrior” has increa.'od the numb<*r of siM)rt8 at P. ('. from two to nine. Me has been ini.strumental in the reorganization of tbeM[^loiftto b&se- t)all league, in the organization of in tercollegiate boxing’in South Carolina and in the*.increasing .spirit of clean ^port.smanship. ^ Johnson came to Presbyterian col lege from Battle Creek (.Mich.) School of Physical Education, in the fall of 1914. He is a native of Milwaukee, Me wak a Swede to the marrow of his bones and he is still a Swede—if •» Kuch a thing exists as a thoroughly Southern Scandinavian. His accent has earned him .the affectionate nick name by which hundreds of P. C. graduates .know him, “Woof-Woof”— hut never to his face*! still that same indomitable spirit'^in his teams. They may lie'beaten but they’re never licked. Me has a thorough and complete love for his college. Offers have come to him over the years from Duke, Wake Fore.st, Clemson, Djfividson, and many other schools, but he has never considered leaving his first love — P. ('. Deep within him is a bubbling fountain of ceaseless energy. He must always b<’ working and working hard. In addition to his many.du.ties a-s ath letic din*ctor of a nine-sport school, he is captain of the Clintoiv unit of the national guard. He .spends his summers din*cting athletics for young people’s conferences of the Me has put out good teams, bad I . . , .

He helievM that the value of sports comes from the training which it gives the partakers and not from the scores or the gate receipts.'Therefore, it bas become a maxim at P. C. that an injured man ndver plays on a John son team, no matter how much he is needed. The dean of Southern coaches i* truly a builder ^of. men of sterling character and strong bodies. He opens the 1937 season with doubtful proepects, but few wrinkles are on that forehead. “I don’t know what kind of a team we’ll have,” he says, “ibut we’ll be in there fighting every second," AtW that comment is typical of the grand old man of South Carolina sports!
