Baltimore, April 26—Joe H. Ruff, graduate manager of athletics at Trinity college and assistant professor of law, died at Johns Hopkins hospital this afternoon. He underwent an operation for appendicitis about five weeks ago and complications set in which proved fatal.
Mr. Ruff was a native of Tupelo, Miss., and after graduating at Trinity in 1919, he settled in Durham, shortly thereafter becoming connected with the college. He was about 30 years of age.
Mr. Ruff’s last service to Trinity was his successful effort to obtain the services of Howard Jones as head coach and athletic manager for his alma mater.
