 QUICK JUGGLERS
 OF GRID MENTORS

ATLANTA. Dec. 28.-So rapid Is the turnover in football coaches m Dixie that B Southern and South eastern Conference teams have had Q total of 89 head mentors in the last 12 years.
 North Carolina State heads the list with seven coaches. including the one to be elected soon to re- place John (Clipper) Smith, who resigned a few days ago. Auburn and Mississippi State College each has had six and there is a possibil- itv that Auburn soon will be seek ing another, for Chet Wynne IS prominently mentioned as q suc- cesscr to Harry Carnage, who re- signed at Kentucky
 The average life" of a coach has nedn slightly less than four wears during the period since the orioinal southern conference was formsd in 1922. Dan McGugin, who started 1t Vanderbilt in 1904, and w. 4 Alexander, who has just comp'ated his fourteenth year at Georgia tech are the only survivors of the group who were head coach- es 12 years ago. H. c. Byrd still is at Maryland but this year he turned over much of the football work to younger assistants.
