M With the resignation Of George
W. Little, director Of athletics,
providing the third casualty
OF the post-season debate on foot ball
in the Western Conference. attention
today turned toward legislative in
vestigation of the University of Wis.
consin athletic department.
The resignation Of Little came with
much surprise late yesterday. 1t fol-
lowed that of coach Burt Ingwersen OF
Iowa by only few days and also the
first upheaval In the conference.-the
supplanting Of H. 0. Fritz" Crisler as
foot ball coach at Minnesota.
The legislative Committee planned
to 60 into action, today rather than
later in the week as previously ar
ranged. The State Assembly took cog
nizance of the directors deSicion when
1t received resolution last night which
asked the Board of Regents to refuse
the resignation.
Action on the measure was post
poned, however. in order to permit the
investigating committee to proceed un-
hampered by legislative pronounce
ment. Meanwhile the athletic council
at the university was expected to meet
in special session tomorrow to consider
the resignation and the status of Head
Foot Ball Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite
A wide variety of rumors pervade the
campus The most persistent rumor
had Crisler as head coach and director
Of athletics at Wisconsin next year
1t was definitely known that university
authorities have recently conferred with
the Minnesota director Of athletics.
The consolidation Of the positions OF
coach and athletic director is almost
certain in view Of the retrenchment

champion and the young man with the
tennis brain, did not score a single
point for his country, whereas his
team mates performed as was expected
OF them. Lott and Van Ryn In the
doubles were so devastating that we
had already counted an eimost sure
point against the French.
1T was not because Wood was not
good enough player that he lost his
two matches. In both of them,
especially that with Perry, he played
tennis good enough to win If he had
been capable Of sustained effort. 1t
may have been improper methods of
training, physical condition not of the
best, or an inability to adjust himself
quickly to the slower surface of
Auteuil after the lightning fast grass
of Wimbledon.
II am not prepared to say why Wood
lost. but am confident that If he had
been able to call on the strokes usually
at his command with complete conf

In establishing this high place for
the young American, one of his con-

hazard the suggestion that Woods

keep pace with his ambitions. Like La
coste he had a delicate constitution as
a boy; like Lacoste he played himself
into strength. But temperamentally
he Is much more volatile than the

greater strain"
1t appears to be such phrases that
cause Wood to see red"
