The great halfback Michigan Ail-American came home to the town of his birth, to the college that had inspired his first thoughts of football, and to the campus with which the name of Kipke had long been associated. More than 700 attendants at the annual football banquet given by the Central Michigan Alumni asso ciation cheered wildly the newly ap pointed head football coach when he appeared for his first official speech before an East Lansing crowd. school '17, as With Howard Rather, the football general chairman, the greatest "bust" was one of gatherings of gridiron followers ever held by the alumni of the col lege.

The ovation given "Kip" as he was introduced by the toastmaster, lasted nearly four min utes and will never be forgotten fans by the hundreds of football present. Apropos of all the en thusiasm Kipke said": "You are all steamed up here tonight. It is my earnest hope that you will conserve some of it for I trust that when the next fall. football season rolls around that everyone of you will still have some of this energy and good will re I want to see you all out maining. there. Please do not lose all your steam between now and then." On behalf of the Central Michi gan Alumni association and friends of Lansing, "Kip" was presented with a large basket of chrysanthe mums. The announcement of Kipke's appointment to the responsible posi tion of director of gridiron destines of the Green and White was made several weeks ago by Ralph Young, director of athletics. He was select ed by Director Young as the best available football coach in the west and as the logical man to round out an efficient coaching staff, prob ably the best in any college of the size of State in this section of the country. The choice was approved by the athletic council, and given the State the official sanction of Board of Agriculture. While Kipke will not formally take over the office until the open ing of school next fall, it is expect ed that he will arrange to be pres ent during the spring football prac tice and become thoroughly fami liar with the material that he will have at hand next year the building of the 1928 edition of the Spartan gridiron team. Kipke will take over the football duties that have been handled by Director Young since he came to the college five years ago. Mr. Young has an nounced that Harry will have com plete control of the football situa tion, including the naming of his own assi'stants. for 4 T HE M. S. C.
