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.
