A Deserving Hope

SpOrCS-mlnQeQ ClClZenS OF Alex
andria, and for that matter Wash
ington, too, are hoping that the
city council committee yonder will
look with favor on the proposal
to lease the former aims house
property at Monroe Avenue and
River Road for the purposes of
sports and recreation.
1t is bad enough for the Ma
tional Capital not to have a city
controlled stadium for similar pur-
poses, just as it is bad for an en-
terprising and modern locality like
our friendly little 5,000-Watter'

outdoor athletic facilities in view

Georgetown's &c" dinners in
honor of it's athletes are becom-
ing potent goodwill factors in To-
cal collegiate life, and last nights

Nobody at the head table got a
more vociferous reception than
Uncle Clark Griffith, unless it
was Uncle Joe Judge. Guess it
cheered the Old Fox, who can't be
very happy these days for obvious
reasons. Lawrence Hardy, the 1887

All this year, the replacement cost of

FARMERS WILL GET
CHECKS TOMORROW
AAA Payments for Coope-
ration in Soil Program
To Be Distributed

Distribution will be made tOmor-
row as far as it is possible to clear
the matter in delivery of soil conser-
walton checks from the Federal AAA
for those farmers who last year CO
operated in the soil program of re-
ducing acreages in money crops.
County Agent j. w. Sanders, pro-
duction control director for Vance
county, said the distribution would
be made from the office and store of
the Farmers Exchange on South Gar
nett street, being removed there from
the offices in the Law Building to
avoid congestion.
Some 700 growers will receive the
$4,000 to be distributed tomorrow.
This, however, is only about one-third
of the money due Vance growers for
their cooperation in the soil program,
since applications for something in
excess of $4,000 were approved and
forwarded to Washington.
It is estimated that some 1900 to
$500 growers, including both land
lords and tenants, will share in the
funds now being poured into the
county from government sources in
Washington. IS

Sports Editor OF

to become his assistants.
Marshall Wells, a former Minnesota
tackle, is doing great Job with Yale's
line. Phil Bengston, another former
tackle, is succeeding at the University
OF Missouri. Two of Bierman's pupils
VINO might have had the brightest
careers in coaching, rejected many
handsome offers in order to start at the
bottom of business careers.
They are Pug Lund and Babe Ievoir
Members of the Minnesota staff agreed
they would have gone far in football
They had the intelligence, the char
acter, the gifts for leadership and the
instinct for the game that would have
carried them to the top; but they made
the hard decision and already have
reason to rejoice for they are fairly
racing up the business ladder. Within
a lew years they vii be leaders in
Minneapolis. Bud Wilkinson is likely
TO go the same way, for business on
portunlty awaits him in his fathers
office.
Others, OF course, are wise to turn to
coaching, if that is where their deepest
interest lies, and if opportunity presents
itself in proper form. Bud Svendson is
such man. He is married, has a baby
son and, naturally, likes the quick re-
turns a coaching job will give him.
Moreover, he appears to have peculiar
gifts for the work. Bernie Bierman
and DR.. Hauser are eager in their praise
OF his industry, his Smartness and his
all around qualities His team mates
too, predict grand future for him. In
truth few players have ever left the
Minnesota squad with such unanimous
and optimistic acclaim.
Ed. Widseth, aIl-American tackle. will
ultimately go to coaching, but it is
likely he will try his hand at pro-
fessional football first. He loves the
rough contacts of the game and has
offers which can hardly be ignored.
The point is that any high school lad
VINO dreams of one day being a foot
ball coach, can best earn his chance
by enrolling at Minnesota. There is
always a good job awaiting the Min
neSota senior who has earned his varsity
letter under Bernie Bierman.

S PORT S
By DICK CULLUM
TIE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL


Minneapolis, Jan. 28-Naturally there
is great demand for Minnesota men
to coach football at colleges large and
small throughout the country 1t is ac-
copied that Bernie Bierman's system is
the winning system of the day and
others want men who know that system.
Every member of the Minnesota team
of 1886 who will be graduated next June
has received offers. Some have no in
tention of coaching. Some want to play
more football and will go into pro-
fessional leagues, planning to coach
after they have had few years of pro-
experience. Some will accept the Of
fers.
Steadily, however, Minnesota foot
ball is spreading. 1t took that course
once before, years ago, when Dr. H. L.
Williams was originating scoring ideas
That era developed such famous coaches
as Ossie Solem, Clark ShaughneSsey,
DR.. George Hauser, Earl Martineau and
Bernie Biernan.
Emerging above the others of that
time, Bierman is setting a new fashion.
In time his pupils will go as far as DR..
Williams pupils went. Many success
full coaches will emerge and surely two
or three truly great coaches will reach
the top.
The Minnesota system is now in
stalled at Tulane under Red Dawson,
Bill Bevan and Glenn Seidel Now the
Minnesota system, combining the DR..
Williams influence through Ossie Solem
and the Bernie herman influence
through younger men, is going to move
into Syracuse. Solem, as head coach,
has invited Bud Wilkinson and Bud
Svendson of Minnesota's team of 1895
