lege Park to locate successor for
Clark Shaughnessy. athletic direc-
tor and head football coach who left
the Old Liners to accept the job
of head coach at the University
OF Pittsburgh, for four men who
served as Shaughnessy's assistants

available
Jack Manders, AL Heagy and Al
Woods, who worked with Shsugh-
messy on the varsity eleven, have
applied for commissions in various

was learned today, and Walter
Halas, freshman football coach, now
is handling the varied business en-
terpriSes of his brother George, now
lieutenant commander in the Navy,
in Chicago.
Manders, 1t is understood, has
applied for commission in the
Army, while Heagy repeatedly is
headed for the Navy and Woods for

Stay at Maryland Short.
Shaughnessy, who reported to
Maryland last April with a full pro-
fessorship under permanent ar
rangement," resigned his post with
the College Park institution yester-
day and last night the Board of
Trustees of the University of Pitts
burgh authorized his appointment
as head coach of the Panthers,
again with the rank of full pro-
fessor."
Jimmy Hagan, Pitt athletic di-
rector, explained he had selected
Shaughnessy when the athletic
board instructed him to get "the
best coach available" to succeed
Charley Bowser, who expects to be
in the Navy by the time his con-
tract expires on March Is.
There positively will not be any
change In our simon pure athletic
policy" Hagan insisted, while
Shaughnessy said, II think Pitt has
the proper ideals. I think it is fine
to have good athletic teams, but I
like to see the athletes come from
the student body in natural man
ner. Sell the school to the athlete.
not hire the athlete. is my idea"
Salary Upward of $4,000.
Shaughnessy reportedly will re-
ceive between $4,000 and sl2,50O a
year in becoming the tenth head
coach OF the Panthers since thev
started football in 1904. He Is the
first non-graduate to hold the posi-
ton since Glenn S. (Pop) Warner,
from 1915 through 1923. DR.. John
Balm 'JocD Sutherland took over
after Warner and carried on until
1888.
Shaughnessy has been a specialist
at re1uvenating gridiron destinies.
He was tackle, end and fuilback on
the University of Minnesota football
teams OF 1911, II and 13 and in 1915
became coach at Tulane, where he
started the rise Of the Green Wave.
He remained at Tulane until 1926.
when he shifted to Loyola of New
Orleans for successful six-year
stay before succeeding Amos Alolzo
Stagg at the University of Chicago
in 1888 when that institution retired
Stagg because OF age.
Makes Two Rapid Moves.
Shaughnessy couldn't convert
Chicago into winner and football
was abandoned there in 1899, leav-
ing him free to take over Stanford
in January, 1910. He inherited the
remnants of a squad that finished
last in the Pacific Coast Conference
but in his first season the Indians
went undefeated and then beat
Nebraska, 21-13, in the Rose Bowl.
His 1941 team at Stanford won
six and lost three and friction,
never explained fully, between
Shaughnessy and other Stanford
athletic officials prompted him to
accept a position as head football
coach and director OF the depart
ment Of health and physical edu-
cation at Maryland.
This connection was expected to
be permanent and called for a
salary estimated at $4,000. Actually
he served less than 10 months at
College Park, reporting there in
April. 1912, prior to guiding Mary
lands football team to seven vic
tories In nine games last season.
