Through the efforts of Walter
Camp, who for many years picked the
All-American football teams, Nate re
ceived a commission in the aviation
=1 vice with headquarters at Hazle
burst field, Mineola, Long Island. He
was then transferred to Cooperstown
Hospital at Cooperstown, Nw York,
as assitant to the flight surgeon. He
received discharge from the service
in October 1919.
This point in Nate Cartmell's life
might be called the turning point of
his career. He had determined to
give up the coaching game and enter
some other field of business. Walter
Camp, his intimate friend, finally con
vinced him that he was cut out for the
couching position and obtained for him
the post of football trainer and coach
of track and freshman basketball at
the University of West Virginia in
March, 1920
