Yale breaks 69 year tradition by naming Emerson Nelson coach
Yale names Emerson Nelson, 35, former Iowa tackle and ex Mississippi State head coach, as football mentor succeeding Ray Pond. Nelson, praised by Athletic Director Ogden Miller, signals no shift from Yale’s emphasis on football while outlining a classic eight game slate including Lehigh, Penn, Navy, Dartmouth, Brown, Princeton, and Harvard. Nelson is a Cherokee, Oklahoma native who played at Iowa and later coached at LSU before joining Yale as line coach in 1939. He resigns Pond after two seasons and inherits a severance plan with about 8 000 dollars due, with Neale remaining as top assistant.
