SAN DIEGO, Calf, July 8. CUP)
If large colleges think they have
athletic troubles they should look
over some of c. E. Peterson,s diff
culties.
Peterson is dean of men and
head of the athletic department at
San Diego State. This year he is
not only head of the athletic de-
partment-he is the department.

taken most of the male students but
have also lured away the entire
coaching staff.
MANY IN SERVICE
Head Football Coach Leo Calland
is lieutenant commander in the
navy. Baseball Coach Charley
Smith is a lieutenant in the army.
Basketball Coach Morris Gross is
lieutenant in the navy and Carl
Young, formerly in charge of in
tramural athletics, is a naval lieu-
tenant commander Just to make
things worse. Trainer Less Cook
left the school to become trainer for
the San Diego Padres baseball
team.
Last year more than 700 of San
Diego States 1900 students were
men. This year Dean Peterson ex-
poets approximately $50 men en-
rollees-and these mostly 4Fs. But
Peterson aims to carry on.
I'VE will do everything we can
with what we have to work with"
he said.
NOTHING CERTAIN
IF those boys want a football
team we will try to give them one,
but we can't as yet be positive about
our athletic future as we are not
certain just what our male enroll

AT present l am the only coach
we have but 1 will. certainly do
everything possible to carry on if

Movement Spreading,
lis Chairman Says

John U. Barr chairman of the
"Southwide Byrd for President
Committee" said today the move
ment to draft Senator Byrd of Vir-
ginia for the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination next year is growing
rapidly.
Already Byrd committees have
been organized in Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, North Carolina, South Car
olina and Alabama" Mr.. Barr said
Our purpose is to nominate Sena-
tor Byrd in the coming Democratic
national convention. We have no
interest in setting up third poll
tical party.
I'VE believe that with Senator
Byrd as its presidential candidate
the Democratic party will have an
opportunity to purge itself of the
New Dealers. He has been a leader
in the fight to reduce governmental
expenditures and in the fight to get
back to constitutional government. !"
Mr.. Barr added the effort to win
support for a Byrd nomination
for President would not be confined
to the Southern States 1t is now
moving, he said, into the North and
West.
When asked II he would confer
with Senator Byrd, Mr.. Barr replied: ::
I have never met Senator Byrd,
and 1 do not see any reason why
1 should confer with him now. We
want to draft Senator Byrd. He
has said he is not a candidate"
Mr.. Barr, a New Orleans manu-
facturer, came here on a business
trip.
