Demanding Grid Fans Stir 3 New Coaching Flareups
New York, Feb. 13—(UP)—Failure of downtown quarterbacks and the ever-effervescent alumni to subscribe to the principles of the N.C.A.A. football purity or de-emphasis code, was blamed today for outbreaks of bitterness at three major universities.
Sited feuding at the Universities of San Francisco,
There was two-fisted feuding. Ohio State, and Nebraska and un-
derneath it all was the discontent of fans over mediocre football teams.
McKeever Lists Ineligibles
Coach Ed McKeever, brought to San Francisco from Cornell in a program designed to build up the school to big time football status, apparently went too far in his efforts and resigned to become coach of the Chicago Rockets of the all-America pro loop.
McKeever, bitter over differences with athletic officials at the school, wrote a letter in which he listed 21 players of questionable eligibility, all of whom apparently were persuaded to quit other colleges and play football under him at San Francisco.
Father Jerome Sullivan, athletic moderator at the school, retaliated by stating that McKeever was so anxious to build up a winning team, he advised players to conceal their past collegiate records in order to retain eligibility for longer periods of time.
McKeever also stated in Chicago that the athletes were paid "substantial sums" in excess of the maximum allowed by N.C.A.A. regulations for work done in order to obtain athletic scholarships. This, too, was denied by the university officials.
The situation was a little different at Ohio State where Athletic Director Dick Larkins was quoted as saying that former Buckeye Coach Paul Brown "has started a terrific drive in Columbus and around Ohio to return as football coach."
Pro Coach Tries Return
Brown, most successful young coach in the pro business with two consecutive All-America conference championships with his Cleveland Brown, has been urged by Buckeye Alumni to return to State where football fortunes 'hit low' ebb last fall as Wes Fesler in his debut season won two games, lost six and tied one.
Larkins, who allegedly isn't sold on Brown returning to State, was quoted as saying that "Brown has been stealing football players on our campus by the dozen and has done everything in his power to hurt Ohio State."
'Not Happy With Pros'
"But he is not happy in the pro atmosphere," Larkins was quoted as saying. "He has a good bank account and wants to coach college kids again."
Earlier in the week, Bernie Masterson, former Nebraska and Chicago Bear star quarterback, resigned from his coaching job at Nebraska stating that "circumstances beyond my control" prompted his decision.
Larkins inlisted he was misquoted but Brown was upset over what he called a "smear campaign" and called newspapermen to state flatly he was not campaigning for the job.
"I take this step with but one thought in mind—the welfare of my alma mater," he said.
Masterson had two disastrous seasons in a college which long has been used to gridiron glory, winning but five of 18 games during his tenure.
Archers To Hold Practice Sessions
In order to hit the bulls-eye the archer has to practice or at least that was the opinion of members of the Archey club Thursday night when they decided to hold two practice sessions each week. The practices will be held Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 5 p.m. in Robinson gym, the first session starting Tuesday, Feb. 17
Tentative plans to show films on the various phases of archery were also decided upon at the meeting.
also decided upon it the meeting.
According to Miss Alice Myers,
publicity chairman, the Archery
club is open to any persons interested
in learning the fundamentals of
archery, or those interested in improving their ability to pierce the bulls'-eye.
Baylor Takes Lead In SW
The Golden Bears of Baylor university today had one hand on the Southwest conference basketball crown. Baylor remained the only team unbeaten in conference play by shellacking the University of Texas Longhorns, 48-39, Thursday night at Waco.
Baylor now has only three more games to play in conference competition, two of them at home and a third, with Texas, at Austin. Texas Still Has Chance
Texas still was not considered out of the running completely, however. The Longhorns still have six games to play, two of them on the home court of the perennially tough Arkansas Razorbacks, and therefore, because of a more favorable schedule, Baylor was given the nod for the 1948 care title.
Tonight, Texas Christian opens a two-game series with Arkansas at Fayetteville, Ark., while Rice meets Texas A & M at College Station. T.C.U. winds up its series with Arkansas tomorrow night.
It was the first conference loss suffered by Texas since 1946. That was when Baylor beat Texas and went on to win the championship. Game Only Even Once
Only at one point did Texas get even with Baylor. That was when the Longhorns pulled into a 19 to 19 tie during the first half. But the Bears quickly untangled the knot and led. 22 to 20, at halftime.
With only six minutes to go, Baylor had a mere three-point lead. Then the Bears put on a dazzling exhibition of expert ball-handling which put the Steers completely out of the running.
Don Heathington, the brilliant Baylor center, was high scorer with 24 points. This total gave him a total of 106 points in nine conference games, just eight points less than George Kok of Arkansas has sunk to lead the loop in scoring. Al Madsen, Texas guard, was high for his team with 11 points.
'Good' Man Beats Wife In Texas
Alice, Texas—(UP)—A housewife,
with a little time to reflect, told a
Texas judge she felt her husband
was justified in beating her with a
belt when she insisted he hang out
the wash.
When the judge asked the woman if she thought her husband did the right thing by her, she replied:
"Yes, sir. At first I didn't think it was right, but now I do. I want my husband back. He's a good man."
Sig Alph Wins Sixth
The Sig Alphs ran their victory string to six games as they walked away from the Phi Gams in Thursday's IM basketball play. The Sig Ep's, Phi Delt's, Sigma Chil's, Jokers, Delta Tau's, and Deuces Wild also emerged winners.
Kenny Thompson racked in 12 points in leading the Sig Alph's, 37 to 29, over the Phi Gam's. Daugherty collected seven points for the winners while Hargis tallied seven for the Phi Gam's. It was the Phi Gam's fourth loss.
Sig Ep's Into Second
The Sig Ep's moved into second place in division two with a 39 to 30 defeat of the Phi Psi's. McNeive scored 11 points for the Ep's and the Psi's shook Mercer loose for eight.
Leading 13 to 11 at the half, the Phi Delt's won from the Delta Chi's 25 to 19. Griffith was the spark in the Phi Delt offense with seven points while Davis got five for the losers.
Using only five men, the Sigma Chi's scored an easy 44 to 22 victory over the Alpha Phi Alpha's. Charley Wagstaff was the evening's high scorer with 16 points for the Sigma Chi's.
Jokers Also Move Up
In a tight, clean contest the Jokers bested the Kappa Psi's 25 to 22. Long marked 10 points for the Jokers and Greenhaw got eight for the losers. The triumph moved the Jokers into second place in division one.
Delta Tau Delta came from behind in the closing minutes of the game to take a thrilling 29 to 28 contest from the Phi Kappa's. Glaser counted 10 points to pace the Delt's while Culhane's 10 points kept the Phi Kappa's in the game all the way.
The Deuces Wild remained unbeaten as they handed the Rollin Pin Five their first defeat, 20 to 16. The game was close all the way with Martin's 10 points for the Deuces being the big difference.
Iowa's Ris Breaks Weismuller Record
Iowa City. Feb. 12—(UP)—Johnny Weismuller's 22-year-old national record for the 100-yard free style swimming event was beaten Thursday night by Wally Ris, Iowa's star swimmer from Chicago.
Ris made the distance in :519,
trimming a 10th of a second off the
record Weismuller set for the Illinois
Athletic club in a Seattle, Wash.
meet in 1925. His time also set a new
international collegiate record, pre-
viously held by Dick Weinberg of

Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece was white and true.
It had to use some extra care
Or end up in the stew.
So it followed her to school one day
Which was very rash
And what was once a lamb, they say
Is now a plate of hash.
MORAL: Don't hash around! If you're hungry, and in a stew about where to go. We can tell you. Go to
