Plant Made to Put Training of Athletes Under One Head at Omaha Institution. MORE ORGANIZATION IS SCHEME A movement to have an all-year coach wa launched by the student of the Unl veralty of Omaha at a special meeting of the Gateway club Wednesday after noon. A petition to thla effect, sinned by the entire student body, has been pre sented to Dr. D. E Jenkins, president of the school. Ever since athletic were Inaugurated at the school a separate coach hss been used for each branch of aport. The re sult has been far from satisfactory. The poor showing made by the eleven during the 1814 sea-son showed more than, ever that the separate coach system waa a failure. The various coaches selected seemed to know but little save that of the work Jn their own department, the result bftng that many athletes of promise were only encouraged to take part in certain branches of aport. Keen coach had a new system of training, which worked havoo with the pre :ou work. Dr. D. B. Jenkins, president of the school, ctated Thursday afternoon that he looked with favor upon the one-coach system and that he would probably take stepa.to secure a suitable coach, for the 1915 season. At the Gateway meeting' the student body decided to continue having student manager for th different athletic de partments.
