have reached Tonopah. Two special
trains, one of Shriners and one OF
Knights of Columbus, arrived from
Sacramento, in addition to many
other visitors, making a total OF
about 700 people who were enjoying
the winter sports. The toboggan
course is said to be very fast and
skiing is perfect, with ideal weather
prevailing. The course is so ar

comes a slow ending within a few
feet of the cable to which you hitch
your toboggan to be pulled to the

HUGO BEzDEK'S
TERMS REFUSED
BY PHIL CHIEF
Penn State Athletic Mentor,
However, Says Difference Is
Not Very Great.

Hugo Bezdek. athletic director and
coach of Penn State football and
baseball teams, will very likely be
found among tho managers of the
National League when the 1928 sea-
son opens. He has been offered the
job at salary second only to the
salary of John McGraw. of the
Giants, and is still considering the
proposition. His final answer may be
given Friday or Saturday Of this
week. When interviewed at State
College Bezdek said:
ITS like this. I am placed In
rather an embarrassing position. I
cannot talk for publication; In fact,
have not made up my mind just
what intend doing.
"Mr. Baker, the owner Of the Phila-
delphia Nationals. came to me with
a proposition. 1 did not ask for the
management; In fact, I consider my
self big enough man in athletics for
a job to seek me. At first 1 refused
to entertain any managerial PROPOSE
ton, but he insisted. and we had a
good, long talk. He asked me to sub
NIT my terms to pilot the Phillies.
1 did. and named a salary that almost
staggered him. We continued the dis
cussion and then / left.
"A few days later Mr.. Baker
sought me again and named a lower
salary, also agreeing to certain con-
ditions / had placed before him in
my previous interview. The salary
was only a little lower than / had
demanded, but attractive neverthe-
less, and only last Wednesday he call.
cd me on the long-distance telephone
asking for my answer. I could not
give him an answer and plainly told
him so, for my work takes up all my
time, and besides wanted to talk
over the proposition with Mrs.
Bezdek, with whom / always con.
suit ON business matters.
Bezdek's contract with State Col.
lege Is said to run for nine more
years.
