They're enjoying full meal, at the

Mehre. who already has resigned at
Georgia. the choice" morsels prob
ably will be few and far between.
The general impression around and
about seems to be that if the wolves
want to howl-well, let 'em. Take
Clark Shaughnessy at Chicago, for
instance. It's been many day since
the Maroon made any kind of show
ing against big-time gridiron rivals.
But no one at Chicago is making any
passes at Clark. He appears as safe
as the Bank of England.

igan's former passing great, who has
just wound up satisfactory season
at City College of New York.
On the Pacific Coast, no immediate
changes appear in prospect, but there's S
talk galore. The reports have to do
with Oregon, where Prince Callison's
contract has not yet been renewed; !;
Southern California, where you hear
rumors of possible shake-up involv-
ing Howard Jones, and U. c. L. A.,
where Bill Spaulding's outfit won only
two games of nine-game schedule
Spaulding's contract, however, has
two more years to run. Student fac
tions on the Oregon campus recently
have been criticizing the poor show
ings of Callisons teams during the
last two or three seasons while at
Southern California, the talk persists
that changes are in prospect after
Jones contract expires in March.
Jimmy Phelan at Washington came
in for lots of red-hot criticism early
this season, but all have been beer
and skittles since the Huskies tied
California's Rose Bowl Bears.
Few Dixie Changes Due.
IN THE deep South three resigna-
tioas already have been handed in.
At Georgia, the athletic board accepted
Mehre's quitting notice, ending his To-
year head coaching term with the
Rex Enright, is prominently men,
toned as his successor.
Most interest at the moment centers
on Mississippi State, where alumni
and faculty leaders were reported as
reaching a decision to offer Bernie
Bierman, head man of Minnesotas
mighty Gophers, the coaching Job.
The berth was vacated when It. Col.
Ralph Sasse was forced to resign
because of i'll health. Also resigning
IN Dixie was Shorty Propst from
Southwestern of Tennessee.
In the East, Boston College holds
the spotlight. Gloomy Gil Dobie hasn't
been a bowling success with the
Eagles, and you hear talk his tenure
may end. But Gloomy Gil has another
year remaining on a three-year,
$4,000 contract, and it's doubtful it
will be terminated Fritz Crisler at
Princeton and Harvey Hartman at
Pennsylvania have come in for plenty
criticism for their weak 1887 show
ings, but therell be no moves to
replace them.
Army has lost Gar Davidson
through the system which limits
coaches to single tour of duty at the
Point. He is replaced by Bill Wood.
Among the minor colleges Tom Sui
hvan is out at st. Lawrence, but his
successor has not yet been named.
