Going to CIurkson as Coach
By Lewis F. Atchison

Les Dye, silver-haired Redskin end
has resigned from the club to accep
a position as head football coach al
Clarkson Tech. he said today. "Ths
Judge" who is here visiting friends
conferred briefly with Coach Turl
Edwards, who placed his name or
the teams reserve list just In case
Dye decides to have another fling
at the pro game. He will assume his
new duties about March l..
Dye, whose slender frame anc
dignified mien belied his aggressive.
ness on the playing field, was an in.
valuable member of the Tribe in the
trying seasons of 1914 and 1915. Ar
expert pass receiver and sure tackler
he was bulwalk at the flank during
those years and keyman in hold
ing together the Skins loosely
woven defense.
Edwards said he was sorry to see
him go, but that he felt Dye had
made wise decision and had taken
a step upward in football.
Les only trouble as far as I was
concerned was that he wasn't con-
tent to sit on the bench at all,
Turk said. He wanted to play
so minutes of every game. He
was great team player and fine
influence on the team and I'm sorry
to see him leave"
At Clarkson, Dye replaces Pete
Dwyer, one-time Notre Dame grid
man, who resigned after Is years
coaching to enter business in Bos-
ton. He will have complete charge
of football and probably will coach
freshman basket ball and baseball.
Dye was an outstanding courtman
in his undergraduate days at SYRIA
cuSe and has more than a passing
acquaintance with the diamond
game.
Clarkson, predominantly an engi-
neering school, has only four games
scheduled next season in beginning
a football comeback. 1t will meet
Rochester, st. Lawrence, Alfred and
Norwich. But starting with 1947
the Techers will resume their rivalry
with Syracuse and play a longer
and more difficult schedule.
In canceling his Redskin contract,
Dye agreed to go to Clarkson with
out signing any papers. Director
of Athletics Hank Hodges, bosom
friend of bud De Groot, who
coached Dye during his two years
with the Redskins, has been at
Clarkson II years without a con-
tract. Hodges handles the basket
balal and baseball teams, in addi-
ton to serving as scout for the
New York baseball Yankees.

game between the Marines and
Georgetown. More than the
game was at stake. Victory for
the Leathernecks meant that
they were to be kept together as
a team and sent to Madison
Square Garden. Defeat meant
that the quintet was to be broken
up and shipped overseas. George
town won by single point and
it was necessary to call military
police detail to escort Shirley of
the post in safety.
There are two schools of
thought on Shirley. Ono group
holds that he is one of the best
officials extant and likes his the
atrical method of calling fouls.
The other school contends that
Shirley is trying to steal the
show from the players with his
antics.
The referee grants every one
the right to express his opinion
of the Shirley style and the COR
rectness of his decisions. But
from his side of the picture there
are two suggestions he would like
to get of his chest: Cd That
coaches and fans acquaint them

he has the skin Of an elephant. .

By George Huber.

Five schools, including Woodrow
Wilson, last years champion, will

outdoor schedule. Sam Feller, who
coached the Tiger baseball team last

take over from Julian Colangelo.
Lew Rudisall succeeds Dick Mentzer
at Eastern, Billy Richardson sue
ceeds the Wrinkle Hart Frank
Marine coaching due at Tech, and
joey Kaufman succeeds Dick Cramer
at Anacostia. 1t still is undecided
whether Anacostia will have track

facilities, but joey is looking the
situation over and may have few
men to put in the field events.
Artie Boyd at Roosevelt, AL Doc)
Collins at Central and Zip Lehr at

Ever think you would like to
be a basket ball referee? Before
getting into something you may
regret, bend an ear to the trou-
bles of Dallas Shirley, colorful
local official who has been in the
center of the stormiest hoop
shooting of the season.
Shirley, usually the most To-
quacious of men, was unable to
do much talking today because
the toughest week end of his
career temporarily has reduced
his voice to a hoarse whisper.
But the official, whose referee
ing is of the highly vocal or
you fouled him." you climbed
up him like a ladder" type, has a
few words of advice for would
be court officials.
Over a span of Is hours tn
past week end, Shirley offlciated
in three important college games
which were SO closely decided
that a total of five points for all
three contests provided the mar
gins of victory.
After handling the Maryland
North Carolina game Friday
night in which the Tar Heels
won by two points, Shirley went
to Annapolis Saturday after
noon for the thriller in which
the North Carolinians knocked
off Navy by two points. He was
back at College Park that even
ing to handle the whistle blow
ing when Maryland slapped down
Virginia by solitary point in one
of the hottest rivalries of the
year.
After spending most of Sunday

his throat, Shirley topped off his
busy week end by refereeing the
American University Catholic
University clash last night. 1t
wasn't lost week end as far as
Shirley Is concerned, since the
colleges pay referees pretty we'll.
Shirley's motto is: Call 'em
quick and call 'em hard" and he
admits that he has made mis-
takes he could have avoided If
he had deliberated few mo-
ments. But he insists that
basket ball official must act with
lightning speed and stick with
his decision even If it is wrong.
