ton. Did Captain George Black
more get a Bronx cheer when he
arose to speak!
Lon Goldsberry, assistant coach,
got back to Mr.. Wade's motion and
brought up the question that maybe
De PAW might have something to
say about playing the game in In
dianapolis. He added he had al
ways thought it was the "Prayin'
Colonies" from Centre College and
not the "Prayin' Bulldogs from
Butler" and suggested that Butler
adopt the song, You Made Me
What Am Today" since Wabashs
victory over De Paw resulted in
Buffers winning of the title.
TT then was time for President
l. Hopkins. In his usual eloquent
way he thanked the Indianapolis
group for the annual tribute to the
boys and stated that he was posi-
tive a football team like the one
that played for Wabash the past
season really had something to go
along with book learning. Foot
ball is builder of men, something
that is necessary he said
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan of
indianapolis, Wabash alumnus and
/ always in attendance at Butler or
De Paw games with Wabash, paid
high tribute to the spirit of the
team against the Tigers.
There was telegram from M.
L. Haines of the team of 1871, also
one from Gauma Neal, De Paw
coach, who suggested that Coach
Vaughn join with him in writing
the rules committee seeking to
abolish points after touchdowns
when they decide games, as in the
last Tiger-Little Giant affair.
THE dean of Indiana coaches
Il Robert L. Vaughan, known to
thousands of Little Giant athletes as
Pete, distributed the monograms and
sweaters. Referring to the players
as my kids" he told little incidents
about each one as he presented the
awards. He explained how the boys
had given him the "hunch" they
we're going to defeat De Paw, how
he had worried lest he take the
natural edge of them by practice
so well were they keying themselves
up for the struggle, and how Muel-

tory, had passed the ball back to

had tried for three years to place

Willingly they discovered he was a
natural place-kfcker himself. This
was during the last few weeks OF

turned the meeting over to toast
master John K. RuckelShauS was
his demand that the annual Wa
bash-De PAW game be played in
indianapolis instead of rotating be-
tween Charlottesville and Green
castle every other year. His demand
soon was put into the form of a
motion and seconded to the effect
that 1885 is none to soon, and 1896
by all means.
Mr.. Wade said he had talked this
and another question at great length
with President Hopkins of Wabash
and so far the answers were mo

To support his contention that the
annual Wabash-De Paw game
should be played here, Mr.. Wade
quoted statistics to the effect that
the gross revenue from football dur
ing the 1884 season was just exactly
one-fifth of what it was in 1925
Maybe we shouldn't say it, but in
the heyday he mentioned, 1926, re-
ceipts we're only $4,000.
Furthermore, Mr.. Wade argued
that the last game at old Washing

official attendance of 13,400 which
if nothing else, made pretty gooc

Backs Action

All New Coach LAS to Do Is
Produce National Title
Team Says Huey.

By United Press
BATON ROUGE, La, Dec. 49,
Senator Huey P. Long was looking
for another football coach of ma
tional reputation" today for his
Louisiana state University grid
team.
Coach Lawrence c. (Biff) Jones
resignation was officially accepted
by L. S. U. authorities on Longs
recommendation.
Jones offered his resignation Sat-
urday after the Oregon-L. S. U.
game following a tilt with the
Senator between the halves. Long
had wanted to make a dressing
room speech to the Louisiana team,
but Jones refused permission.
Whether Jones will request an
immediate transfer by the War De-
partment was unknown. He is also
instructor in military tactics at the
university.
Report Bierman Considered
All the new coach will have to do,
Senator Long said, will be to pro
duce national championship
team" Jones successor will not be
announced until after the first of
the year, James M. Smith, presi-
dent of the university, said today.
It was reported Bernie Bierman,
Minnesota; CLARK Shaughnessy,
Chicago, and Ray Morrison, South
ern Methodist University, were be-
ing considered to fill Jones' position
Students were downcaSt at the
turn of events. A petition was
planned in an effort to have Jones
continue as coach. Popular both
with players and students, Jones was
strict disciplinarian who believed
in orthodox coaching methods. He
disliked loud talk and rumblings of
trouble were heard earlier in the
season when Long moved from a
box in the stands to the players
bench.
Opposed Kingfish Openly
Jones resisted all efforts of Long
to interfere with the team and re-
fused to let Abe Mickal, star full
back, be a Louisiana State senator
after the Kingf1ish had burlesqued
an election of Mickal to the legis-
lative body. Longs demand to
make IAN inspirationaI' talk to the
eleven when L. S. U. was trailing
oregon 1877, was too much for the
| former Army mentor. When he re-
fused, the Senator was reported tc
