NEW YORK, Aug. 8 - R -
College football is looking for COM
paratively little coaching help this
season from the big-name tutors
now in the armed forces although
at lease a dozen have been dis
charged in the past year or so and
number of others apparently are
eligible for discharges.
There's no certainty, either, that
all of the well-known coaches will
return to their old jobs when they
discard their uniforms. One,
Dukes Wallace Wade, already has
decided to serve only as athletic
director and to leave active foot
ball coaching to Eddie Cameron.
A few other possible changes were
indicated today by an Associated
Press survey.
Two southwest conference teams
look for the return of their old
coaches before the start of the 1915
season. Madison Matty) Bell ex-
poets to be out of the Navy by Set
TENDER l and will return as head
coach and athletic director. Bay
lor's Frank Kimbrough also has
applied for a Navy discharge and
expects to return before the sea-
son opens.
1t. Comdr. Sam Barry, head
basketball coach and assistant
football coach at Southern Cali
fornia, expects Navy discharge
between October l and the end of
this year.
Besides Wade, coaches who have
returned to their Ola Duties in Jude

kansas since leaving the Army.
1t. Col. Fred emsen, who lei:
Arkansas without taking a 'ea7e
of absence a..ter q 13-year term OF
introducing razzledazzle football
to the southwest, now is training
physical fitness i"s,ructcrs for the
Air force at Lexington, Va, and
will not return even if he is dis
charged.
At Nebraska, where 1t. Col. Biff
Jones is on leave while serving as
Athletic Director at West Point.
George "Potsy" Clark, recently a
lieutenant commander in the Navy
has taken over as coach for one
wear term. 1t is believed possible
that Jones will not return there
after his tour of Army duty ends.
Another possible change may be at
Kansas State, where Navy Lieut..
Hobbs Adams is on leave and there
is a sauabble over the athletic
dictatorship which Mike Ahearn
will vacate after this year because
Of the age limit.
Brig. Gen. Bob Neyland, now
stationed at Calcutta, India, where
he has charge of supplies, mas
written that he ''hopes to be back
at Tennessee for spring practice.
He likely will resume his coaching
duties although his successor, joan
Barnhill, produced a Rose Bow
team. 1t. Don Faurot recently sale
hut il is considered unlikely thai
he will be out Of the Navy to1
several months.
Navy 1t. Jim Yeager, Colorado
University coach, left for overseas
duty in the Pacific two days before
Japan capitulated. He will get MS
old lob back when he returns.
