Dr. Don Loucks, tennis coach at Florida State University for the last six years, has relinquished his coaching duties to devote full-time to his position as chairman of the division of undergraduate professional education. The announcement was made today by FSU director of athletics Howard Danford.
"Dr. Loucks' work has become so heavy due to an increased number of physical education majors that he has requested that he be relieved of his tennis duties," Danford said. "We are sorry to lose him as a tennis coach but the burden of his duties makes it imperative that a division of work be effected."
Keith Pitchford, newly appointed instructor in physical education, will assume the duties of tennis coach.
Under Loucks the FSU netters enjoyed their greatest season this spring, FSU won 15 of 17 matches the past season. Loucks guided the Tribe to Dixie Conference titles in 1949 and 1950.
