Banner Basket Season Likely

Coach Proctor may be slow in intro
ducing his system at Tech, and it is
fortunate that the Gobblers wait
until January IL before starting their
season against Wake Forest.
Washington and Lee Is going to miss
Leigh Williams and some of the other
stars Of last Winter. But Ray Ellerman
has enough veterans to support the pre-
diction of a fine court future for the
Generals in the weeks to come.
Two practice games are out Of the
way, and the w. and L. five has shown
real scoring power combined with de-
fersive skill. st. Johns on January 9
is the first game Of the Lexington five,
which will probably include three regu-
lars Of last season.
This is one year when 1t looks as
though the basket ball teams Of the Old

North Carolina.
Eddie Cameron, coach at Duke, has
only one veteran, John Shaw, around
whom he can build his team. In 1929
and 1880 the Blue Devil quint was run
ner-up in the conference and last year
won the State title.
In Chapel Hill the North Carolina
court tutor, Bo Shepherd, has three
veterans. He Is counting on some of
the Tar Heel foot ball stars to become
regular members Of the quint and add
the strength needed in both ends of
the court.
North Carolina State, with six vet
erans, appears to be in better shape
than the other two Carolina rivals. DR..
Sherman also has likely crop OF new

r OS ANGELES, December 19.-
There is no fear in the heart OF
Coach Howard Harding Jones
for the welfare of his University
of Southern California foot ball eleven
which makes so bold as to try the stop
ping of Tulanes Green Wave, at Pas
adena New Year day.
Given to few words and no predlc-
tions, Troy's head man is willing to IN
innate that the TrojanS are capable OF
taking care of themselves in any GRID
company by saying, IF Tulane wins
the Rose tournament game, then 1t Will
have beaten the best foot ball team l
ever coached"
And that goes for the eleven which
handed Pittsburgh a 47-to-l4 drubblng
at the Rose Bowl in 1880 for the worst
defeat any team ever experienced IN
the 16 years Of the intersecuonal
classic.
Chance TO Avenge Coast.
Coach Jones believes his team will
accept the Tulane game as its chance to
avenge in a degree the three defeats
administered by Southern teams, and
put Pacific Coast foot ball back IN the
running with opponents from below the
Mason and Dixon line.

Great Foot Ball Upheaval
Disastrous for Many Grid
Coaches at Major Schools
By the Associated Press.

swift and almost certain fate
v that befalls the foot ball coach
who fails to deliver the kind
of foot ball his school demands has
taken heavy toll this year Of the coun-
try's leading gridiron mentors.
The forced resignation Of Al Witt
mer as head coach Of Princeton foot
ball brings to seven the list OF major
schools which will have new head men
next year, and the end is not yet in
sight.
Several retirements have been volun-
tary, as were those Of Navy Bill" In
gram from the Naval Academy and
Wallace Wade from Alabama last year,
but at least three, including Wittmer's,
were due to pressure from within. The
ether two who resigned under fire were
John F. Chick Meehan at New York
University and Burt IngwerSen at the
University of Iowa.
Wittmer's retirement came after the
most disappointing season in Tiger foot
ball history. climaxed by 5l-14 de-
feat by Yale.
Meehan was forced out not because
he wasn't good coach but because
the university decided it would 60 In
for de-emphasizing of foot ball after
several years of imitation.
IngWersen has never been particu-
larly successful at Iowa since he went
there in 1924, and the housekeeping
forced by the Western Conference on
the Hawkeyes two years ago handed
them blow from which they have not
yet recovered. Iowa won only one
game during the year.
In addition to the foot ball coaches,
Athletic Director George Little of Wis
consin resigned just as legislative
committee began an investigation into
his departments finances. Glenn This
tlethwaite, brought by Little from
Northwestern as head foot ball coach
three years ago, is said to be on his
way out also.
Among those designations which are
listed as voluntary was that Of John
Law Notre Dame captain of 1929, who
decided not to return to Manhattan
College; Russ Cohens transfer from

the head coaching Job at Louisiana
State to an assistants post under
Uncle Dan" McGugin at Vanderbilt.
and Bernie Biermans departure from
Tulane for Minnesota.
Bierman's departure from Tulane
after winning the Southern Confer
ence championship and getting the
Rose Bowl invitation, parallels the case
Of Wallace Wade. who left Alabama for
Duke after similar success in 1880.
Only one Of the vacant posts has
been definitely filled, Ted Cox, Tulane
line coach, stepping into Biermans
shoes.
Louisiana State apparently is nego-
tiating with Capt. L. NJ (Bif) Jones,
former Army coach and present assist
ant athletic director at West Point.
After long conference in New Or
leans yesterday, State authorities said
no decision yet had been reached.
