Summer Course in Athletic Coaching
and Physical Education

HE TWENTY-FIRST Annual Summer Course in Athletic Coaching
and Physical Education will be offered at the University of Illinois,
occupying six weeks, June 18 to July 28, 1934. The Course, established
in 1914, is the oldest of its type in the United States. It provides instruc-
tion in the coaching of football, basketball, and baseball, and in the prin-
ciples and methods of physical education. A well-rounded list of courses
is offered with sufficient time for study and consideration.
The Course is primarily for men already engaged in coaching and
physical education or those who have had experience in athletics. Require-
ments for admission will be found on page 5.

Illinois Coaches are Instructors

Basketball and baseball will be taught by the head coaches and football
by the assistant coach of these sports at Illinois. This insures first-hand
instruction in the systems and techniques under which Illinois teams have
made exceptional records.

The University conducts an extensive program of required physical ed-
ucation. Approximately 3000 students annually participate in 19 types of
activity. -Students in the Course receive the benefit of the valuable experi-
ence gained by members of the staff in handling such an extensive and
varied program.

The Course will be under the direction of Carl L. Lundgren, assistant
director of the School of Physical Education.

Milton M. Olander, first assistant varsity football coach, will give the
course in football. As a player under Robert C. Zuppke for four years and
as his assistant for ten seasons, Coach Olander is well acquainted with the
Illinois system of football as developed by Coach Zuppke, under which IIli-
nois football teams have won seven Big Ten championships.

Coach Olander will also have charge of a course in football practice,
where practical demonstrations of all the main points of football will be
given. Students themselves engage in the actual demonstration of funda-
mentals. They learn how to do things themselves in order that they may
teach others more effectively. The football practice class naturally will
appeal more to the younger coaches but many older ones say that they have
profited by attendance and participation.

Craig Ruby, who will give a complete course in the theory and practice
of basketball, was a star player at Missouri where he coached two teams to
championships. At Illinois the record of his teams includes one tie for the
championship and with the exception of one season, his teams have always
finished in the first division. He has been president of the national asso-
ciation of basketball coaches and chairman of its committee on rules.
