Clarence "Chief," Boston '39, wrestling and Freshman football coach, yesterday resigned his position to take up his commission as a second lieutenant in the field artillery. Announcement of Boston's resignation was made by Director of Athletics William J. Bingham '16, who also stated that Jay E. Ricks, former M. I. T. coach, has been appointed to succeed him.
This afternoon's Freshman meet with Andover will comprise the Chief's last coaching duties for the duration. He will go on active duty with the commission he received in the Harvard R.O.T.C. unit after a physical examination.
