BY DICK MILLER

Recent announcement that two
outstanding coaches had lost their
positions because they were unable
to comply with the new state board
of education requirement that all
high school coaches have permits
to teach physical education next fall
has created state wide interest.
The rule requiring that teacher
have fifteen semester hours CT
credit in a recognized school OF
physical education. was passed in
January, 1888, to go into effect in
September. 1884. Years of coaching
experience have no bearing in the
obtaining of a permit.
State board members at the time
of the passing of the rule indicated
it was being done because numer-
GUS high school teams in the smaller
communities were coached by grade
school teachers who did not have
high school teaching licenses.
Since then many coaches have
taken summer school courses and
made other provisions to meet the
requirement before next fall.
Others have neglected however, to
make any effort to comply, some
it is said, because rumors that the
rule would not be enforced and that
the board would show leniency.
This has caused a more or less luke
warm attitude among school men
concerning the rule.
State superintendent
Makes Statement
In this respect The Times today
obtained a statement from Floyd 1.
McMurray, state superintendent OF
public instruction, as follows:
The regulation that was passed
more than a year ago is fair to
those who are coaching and GER
tainly just to members Of athletic
teams.
The state board of education
has assumed a reasonable attitude
in every case and We are following
no cracking down policy. Contrary
we are going as far as We can to
assist every community in making
satisfactory adjustments.
yet sufficient time exists for adj
justments to be made in all cases
where they are willing to make
effort.
1T requires only fifteen semester
hours of training to secure a per-
nit to teach physical education. We
are assuming that all athletic
coaches have had some training and
they have now had a year with six
months yet remaining TO qualify.
1t has not been necessary any
where for any coach to be removed
because he could not qualify under
the new rule. The board will be
very considerable in all cases"
Under these conditions and with
the feeling that the board had
been unusually fair with the length
of time they allowed between the
time the rule was passed and when
it Will be enforced, Mr.. McMurray
was reluctant to say he felt the
board would make any further ex-
ceptions TO the rule.
Several athletic directors who at
tended the football clinic at Purdue
university last week end and who do

You never heard such an unholy
din! Everybody in the place-and

and they didn't like it. Some of
them, tossed side by side, tried to
fight it out through the bags.
They they brought in the first
pair Of cocks, slick red one with
a ruff of yellow feathers around his
neck, and long-legged gray fellow.

Coaches Get NezU Vista
on Physical Ed Ruling

not have the required hours, or who
have men on their coaching stats
who can not qualify were Of the
opinion the rule would not be rigid
ly enforced.
However, when reports from
Greencastle, Ind, carried the in
formation that G. B. EdmondSon
had been displaced by Marion
Crawley as coach for next year and
school superintendent Paul Boston
announced the change was being
made because Edmondson would not
be able to meet the state board
physical education requirement,
these directors and school men be-
gan to wonder if they had been
rightly informed.
South Bend Coach
Already Is Out
Further it is said that Coach E.
w. Kuhny is to be replaced at Gen.
trail high school in South Bend for
the same reason. Significance is
attached here due to the fact that
school superintendent Frank Allen
of South Bend IS a member of the
state board of education.
If the board enforces the rule
rightly in all except the unusual
cases it would appear that numer-
Gus coaching jobs will be open this
year.
The almost statewide evasion of
the tenure law is another matter of
concern to athletic coaches. 1t has
been discovered that many success
full coaches have been either dis
charged or forced to resign and &C
cept six months leave of absence
to break their continuous run of
teaching contracts before they
reach the point where they would
come under tenure law protection.
State board members indicated
they were fearful of similar condi-
tons if they relax from their ply
steal education training requirement
for coaches.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April II. -
The opening of the six-game series
with the Cincinnati Colts here yes
terday was disastrous for Red Kill
lefer's Indians. The visitors pound
ed out fourteen hits, including four
doubles and two triples, to amass
a score of II to 7. The Colts greeted
Jim Turner with a f1ve-run barrage
in the first inning and stayed out
in front all afternoon.
The teams were to have another
battle this afternoon and the series
will continue throughout the week
and close on Sunday, after which
the Indians will journey to Toledo
to open the American Association
season with the Mud Hens on Tues
day, April II. Attendance here yes
terday was about $50 and the con-
test was played under fine weather
conditions.
The Indians new first baseman,
Johnny Shevlin, who is with the
Cincy Colts, outbatted Ernie Win
gard, regular Tribe first sacker,
three hits to one. Shevlin pounded
the Hoosier pitchers for double
and two singles, and Wingard got
one hit, single, against the Reds.
SigafOOs in Outfield
Frank Sigafoos finally took
turn in the outfeld for the Indians,
playing in the left garden. He poled
one hit, a single. and made one
error. No putouts were credited to
him. Fred Bedore played third
base. Vincent Sherlock was at Sec
ond and Dudley Lee at short.
Cooney, in center, and Washing
ton, in right, led the Tribe batting
attack with three nitS each, and
two of Cooney's blows went for
extra bases, one a double and an
other a triple. Washington clouted
two doubles and Bedore walloped
triple. Morrissey socked two
doubles for the Reds and Feathers
connected twice for triples. Beattie
Feathers is the ail-America football
half back of the University of
Tennessee. He performed in right
field yesterday until an injured leg
removed him from action.
Logan Best for Tribe
Turner, Logan and Thomas, all
1888 regulars, worked on the mound
for the Indians. Logan, the south
paw, displayed the best form. Pat
tiSon, southpaw, and Hilcher, a
Highlander, pitched for the Cincy
Colts.
The Indians exhibition record is
two games played and two games
lost. Killefer'S athletes need more
conditioning and the series with
the Colts is expected to supply the
results wanted. Four errors were
chalked against the Tribe yesterday.
Johnny Shevlin hit the ball we'll
enough for the Red Colts yesterday,
but his underpinning is none too
good Inquiries disclosed the fact
Shevlin may not be in the best of
condition for a month or more. He
broke a leg two years ago and was
out of baseball last season.
Manager Killefer is not satisfied
with Ernie Wingard at first base
and Johnny Cooney is expected to
be moved from the outfield, in the
event Wingard fails to round into
form. Cooney has played the initial
sack before. He is versatile and a
swift fielder. With the infeld, out
field and mound staff uncertain and
needing doctoring, Chief Killefer is
unable to say at this time how the
Indians will line up at Toledo in
the A. A. opener on April II.

Butler Ready
to DISCHARGE
Fritz Mackey
WalIy MiddIeSWorth to Take
Over Grid Job If Salary
Is Riqht.

Butler university trustees were
slated today to clear the path to
sign a new football coach.
The new mentor will be Hugh
Walden CWany) N1iddlesworth. ex-
Butler athlete and present city
recreation director-provided that
the salary is acceptable to him, The
Times has been told.
One Of the chief reasons AIiddles-
worth has not been signed previ-
ouSly is the fact that Frederick
(Fritz) Mackey. grid coach for he
past two years, still has a contract
which does not expire COY a few
weeks, and until recently. no one
had told him that he was not to
receive a new one for the l934-35
season.
Just who would direct the foot
ball deStinies Of the Bulldogs next
fall has been much discussed for
the past few months between every
one, it seems, but Mackey. Finally,
last Tuesday, acting president DR..
James w. Putnam called him in
and informed him that probably
his contract would not be renewed,
Mackey said.
Tony Hinkle Is Asked
to Present Budget
Some one suggested that Mackey
resign. He refused. Stories that ne
planned to quit were circulated and
denied Tuesday.
Since it is just about the usual
time for the renewal of PROFESSIONAL
contracts in the college, the trustees
decided today would be a good time
to refuse officially to renew NIackey's
contract.
Athletic Director PAIL D. CTony)
Hinkle already has been told. it is
said, to present his 1934-35 athletic
budget to the board today for
perusal and approval. What he
guesses the sports revenue rext
year will be will govern to a great
extent how much will be offered az
new football coach. It is known
that at least $500 separated Hinkle
and Middlesworth when they dis
cussed the coaching job some
time ago.
In the meantime Buffers spring
football practice has ceased. IN
less something happens fast, Mid
ellsworth would not be able to meet
his squad or coach them until next

Five years later he was pro-

captain of police. Twelve years
