ne men hearQ their wives speak tnuS, ana
gave their answer When they were ill-tem-
pered they said it at once, and when they were
kind they spoke in pitying voice to Liehsa
and Old Ii, and waited until they were gone;
but what they finally said amounted to the
same thing: The men were prudent, and now
to the trouble of fighting against Big Tooth,
they also had to argue with their wives, MAIN
tanning that Liehsa was nothing to them, and
they had not even seen that she was pretty.
BY the end of the day half the homes in
Wang's Corners were in state of irritation,
because husband and wife were angry with
one another
As for Lehsa and Old Ii, they. returned
home by bus and sat mournfully in their little
house. Lehsa talked about running away.
Where would you run?" Old Ii inquired.
Il could join the womens army"
IF you do that, l will swallow poison"
Old Ii declared.
HE next day was the fair at the Ii Family
Village. 1t came only once year. and the
whole village prepared for it for days. Farm
ers came for miles around and brought their
produce - their pigs and chickens, their larg-
est melons and greenest cabbages. Usually the
citizens from Wangs Corners would not have
come to this rustic occasion, but 50 many
husbands had been made miserable the night
before, that when the bus left Wang's Cor
ners the next morning it was quite full of men
who had said to their wives, Il am going to
be late at work tonight"
The bus, which had started just after dawn,
was suddenly called to a halt by loud horn.
which all the citizens in the bus recognized
as belonging to Big Tooth. They looked out
the doorless back of the bus and there he was,
being driven along the road by poor rela-
ton. Big Tooth would have felt it beneath
him to drive his own car.
The bus stopped and Big Tooth climbed
aboard in fury II sent word l wanted to
20 by bus this morning to the Ii Family
Village" he bawled at the driver. Il am short
of car drink"
Il didn't get any word" the driver retort-
ed: He was afraid of Big Tooth, but not afraid
to lie.
Just shut your mouth and 90 on!' Big
Tooth shouted. Everybody had stood when
he got in, and he chose the seat he liked best,
at the back He sat there where he could feel
the cool air. not speaking to anybody.
Each man hated Big Tooth freshly
WHEN hearts are full of hatred which they
dare not vent silence is best. All were silent,
looking out of the windows from which the
glass had long since disappeared. This, how
ever, was an advantage, for had there been
glass, it would have been too dirty for them
to see through it the freshly mown fields and
the focks of white geese and ducks wandering
over them, picking up the fallen grain.

glass, it would have been too dirty for them
to see through it the freshly mown fields and
the flocks of white geese and ducks wandering
over them, picking up the fallen grain.
Big Tooth also saw every duck and every
goose, and counted the stacks of grain. He
was coming today to the fair to watch the
business that was done, and to take his toll.
Before the day was over, he planned also to
20 to see Old Ii.
He had already told his wife She had taken
the news in silence. As soon as he had gone,
she sat down and thought about the young
girl Liehsa, whom she had never seen. She
felt fond of her already and grateful to her;
then she felt sorry for her. Il can only pray,

SHAUCHNESSY
FORCED OUT
AS PITT COACH
BY WALTER BERKOv
United Press Sports Writer

pittsburs, Feb. 5--tUP)--Clark
shaughnessy the, "T" formation ex-
pert who was unaole to produce o
winner at the University OF Plus
burg in three seasons, packed his
bags today after resigning unaer
fire. o..
The man vino was named "coacn
of the year" after his Rose Bowl
success five years ago, was return.

For purposes of record. "Shas
was out because he would not crop
his connection with the Washing
ton Redskins. However, the ever
smiling Irisl1man had no real
choice-he had to leave or endure
open opposition. .,.
ITS time to bow out" Shaugn-
messy said. whats the use OF carry
ing OH in an unpleasant situation?
His action climaxed a series OF
runblings among Pitts coaching
staff. students, team and alumni
who went for Shaughnessy's scalp
when he lost 10 and won II III
three wartime seasons.
In Leaving, Shaughnessy wrote
a letter criticizing Pitts athletic
policy, He said he was confused
whether he was supposed to do MS
best possible job Of teaching, or
whether he was just supposed 70
win games.
Changes
He said before Pitt could win
consistently over such opponents
as Notre Dame, Purdue, Ohio State
Michigan and others, there would
first have to be changes made IN
assistant coaching facilities and
hours for practice, material, ana
management.
Shaughnessy wrote that the Uni
versity certainly must have been
aware of his connection" with the
Chicago Bears and later the
| washington Redskins at the time
| he was hired.
Although the Shake-up came IN
the form OF resignation, in reality
it was polite dismissal. The Uni
yersity athletic committee voted tc
retain Shaughnessy after investi-
eating the charges of three assistant
coaches, but demanded that hi
drop his connection" with the
Washington Redskins, whom ht
serves as advisory coach.
However. Shaughnessy knew hi
position was untenable.
The committee did not act OF
the designations OF the three as
sistantS - Charles (Doc) HartwiG
Bobby Hoel, and tSan Olenn-whC
charged Shaughnessy with ''insin'
cerity, inconsistency, an impersona
attitude toward the players anc
Objectionable teaching methods"
To Maryland
Shaughnesy knew he faced oper
resentment II he stayed at Pitts
burg. SO he accepted the offer Of
the head coaching job at the Uni
versity of Maryland under undis'
closed terms. He will retain hi
job with the Redskins.
Mentioned prominently for the
Panther vacancy are DR.. Eddie
Baker, former Carnegie Tech coach
Andy Gustafson, Army backfielc
coach: and Jack Harding coach a.
Miami University. All are sons Of
Pitt. Baker was believed 10 have
