I Col Stoll, Woke Coach: A Breath Of Fresh Air Football coaches of recent vintage are, for the most part, dull to the point of tedium as human beings because they are so acutely conscious of their image. If they laugh publicly, some alumnus who con tributes may feel they are frivilous and lack serious dedication to the deathly serious task of winning on Saturday ten times a year. If they talk tough, they may offend the raw sensibilities of some professor type who serves on the athletic committee, and the shock wave from his being offended may run through the faculty and result in wholesale flunking of foot ball players. If they don’t exude confidence, though, they are seen as probable losers, and everybody wants to fire them. In short- the usual football coach (Frank Howard excepted) watches his public utterances and behavior with a more critical eye than the average minister. Football coaches are also the dullest, dust-dry participants in banquet and luncheon programs that can be conceived by committees in charge of misery. Get an average high school team together for its awards program, and heaven and earth must be moved to assure the presence of a name coach. The fact that the guy is as colorless as water and as uninformative as the back of a postage stamp matters not. Get him, and let him be as inane as he can. If he doesn’t cause waves one way or nother, he has survived the test of platform mediocrity. ★ ★ ★ No Nonsense From Players Thank heaven, then, for the exception, and a new one who has surfaced on the waters of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Cal Stoll, whe having no conception of the im possible, has agreed to produce a winner at Wake Forest, is a witty, outspoken fellow who has not the slightest hestitation to allow His personality to show. At a luncheon whefe I heartf Kiftf&fkUS^Sffier day, Cal not only made an excellent and entertaining talk, but unbelievably was seen to smile publicly He left most of his hearers wondering how in heaven’s name this man could have remained an assistant coach for 20 years when so many dull birds are ascending the ladder to the ruling perch in a much shorter time. In discussing his football program, Cal Stoll makes a non nonsense statement that he is inviting all the players now at Wake to join his team, thus also inviting them to subject themselves to abide by his notions of training and dedication. Th«n he made not the slightest apology when he flatly said any boy who failed to accept the discipline would be out on his rear end PDQ. This alone is virtually unbelievable. The average coach spouts sweetness and light for public consumption. Cal Stoll’s flat assertion that Wake Forest football players will do like he says sounds old fashioned, but I liked it. ★ ★ ★ Miracle At Baptist Bottom? The probability of winning at Wake is about equal to the likelihood that the UCLA basketball team will lose a game this year. Yet, when you see a man with wit, humor, dedication without absurdity, one wonders if, in deed, the Deacons have not this time selected a leader who can produce the needed miracle at Baptist Bottom. Win or loso, though. Cal Stoll will b« interesting and will add a needed dimension to the Atlantic Coast conference. Thank goodness he’s here. Collegiate sports can sure use a laugh or two while the coaches are acting as though they have the weight of deciding to drop the hydrogen bomb. Cal Stoll is like a breath of fresh air in a musty closet. Waters Named Football Coach At W.
