TED BANK Weighing a mere 145 pounds while barking signals for University of Michigan teams back in his college days, T Eo BANK, sawed-off Vandal coach, won every game he quarterbacked. Two-hundred-pound teammates were kept in line by the cocky general, who played the scrappy, "goget-'em" type of ball. D espite a miserable season last fall, "Ted" has put out some of the few top-notch teams developed at Idaho since he first signed a Vandal contract five years ago. During a game, he bounces up and down the sidelines puffing an over-sized cigar, shouting criticism of the playing. Bank came out of the World War with a first lieutenancy. After graduating from Ann Arbor in 1923, Bank coached high school for a couple of seasons, then went to Tulane to assist Bernie Bierman, whose system he uses today .

Ted acts as a barometer to the crowd. When things are going bad he is on his feet, charging up and down before the bench, chewing his cigar to shreds.
