NAME COACH TO

Ray Morrison OF Temple

united Press STAFF Correspondent
New York, Feb. 16-UP)-Sports
writer's were scrambling about Man
haitian today, looking for Clark
Shaughnessy, miracle mi an Of
Stanford football who Is being
considered for the vacant coach
ing berth at Yale.
Shaughnessy was reported re-
liably to have been in New York
over the weekend comforting with
Edwin F.. Blair, chairman OF the
Yale advisory football committee
but no one could locate him. Blair,
New York attorney, also was out
Of circulation.
A member Of the Yale Athletic
organization at New Haven, Conn,
said he knew" Shaughnessy was
in New York, but couldn't desig-
nate his hotel or club.
Morrison, Too
Meanwhile, ogden d. Miller,
Yale's director of athletics, said he
had heard authoritatively that
ShaughnessJ was being considered
by the advisory committee, "along
with several other well known
coaches" Miller mentioned no 9TH
er names, but the college grapevine
has 1t that Shaughnessys only
remaining rival Is Ray Morrison OF
Temple, and the Stanford pilot
has the inside track.
The five-man advisory commit
tee OF Eli alumni has been search
ms for "big -name" pilot to take
over Yale's gridiron destinics since
Spike Ne'son resigned Dec %, al

which the Bulldogs had only one
victory in eight games.

tween Yale alumni and the board

Charles Seymour invited an alum

ton OF a new coach for the first
time in 80 years.

mittee apparently will be tanta-
mount to being hired, although the
new man must be approved by the
board OF control and by the Yale
corporation which formulates the
university's policies.
Under the circumstances, it seems
that Shaughnessy has a good chance
for the job. He and his or" forma-
ton blasted Stanford out of the
gridiron doldrums in his first sea.
son at the Indain helm in 1910,
when Stanford won the Pacific
coast championship and beat Neb-
raska In the Rose Bowl.
Over Confident
Last season Clark's Stanford
team won six and lost three games,
after becoming a bit over-confi-
dent. Perhaps he could put on u
resurrecti IN act at New Haven.
1t has been rumored recently
that Shaughnessy was considering
q shift from Stamford because war
conditions prohibit crowds larger
than 5000 at any sports event. He
has no formal coaching contract
with Stanford, 1t is understood, and
apparently could give up his post
as professor OF physical education
at any time he desired.

new YALE COACH
NOT YET NAMED


New Haven, Conn, Feb. 10 - GU.
P) - The mystery as to who will
be Yale University's new football
coach remained as deep as ever to-
day.
The Yale Corporation met over
the weekend with the apparent in
tention of approving new football
mentor to succeed DR.. Emerson
Spike Nelson, who resigned January
to enter the army.
But no appointment was forth
coming. 1t was reported Lou Little,
Columbia University coach, had
turned down an offer. Another re-
port had 1t that Clarl. Shaughnes-
sy, Stanford coach, was being sound
cd out.
