PRESIDENT Alley
SAYS SMITH MUST
Leave COLLEGE

Orono, Me-, June Sin an interview
with a newspaper correspondent con-
corning the athletic upheaval at the
State university, President Alley had
the following to say in his short talk:
1T is true that Smith has been ask
ed to resign and l myself sent him a
note yesterday. AS l understand it,
Mr. Smith refuses to resign and
would rather be fired at the meeting
of the trustees next Monday, when the
case will come up. While l think Mr..
Smith is an excellent track coach, as
shown by his record. yet there are rea-
sons which l refuse to state and do
not want to state for fear of injuring
the man, that make it impossible to
engage Mr.. Smith for another year."
Coach Smith says that he has re-
ceived notice asking for his resigna-
ton, with no reason given and none
that he can imagine. He says he
would rather be fired than resign, and
that he will present a defense before
the meeting of trustees Monday.
