 Docket

Two divorces were granted by Judge Charles J. Mclaughlin tol" lowing hearings in Superior Court today, and two other divorce suits were withdrawn from the court docket.
 Mary Sweeney Gordon of Water bury was granted Q divorce from Clarence T. Gordon, also of this city. on the ground of intolerable cruelty. The defendant had filed a cross-complaint, but the court was told ats the start of the hear ing that he would not contest the suit.
 Mrs, Gordon, who testified that she had nailed down the windows of her home since her husband alleg- edlv threatened to kill her, was told by the jurist to trust to the Waterbury Police Department for protection. A member of the po- lice department, who was called as witness, disclosed that the de- fendant had once called at the police station and announced that he had killed his wife. He was conn., mitted to state institution when the report was found to be false, it was revealed.
 The court gave custody of the couples three children to the moth- CT and provided for payment of $7 weekly for the support of the youngest one, the payments to Estart after the defendant, an em- ploye of the American Brass Com pany. returns to work. The couple were married June IA, 1928 at Chi- cago.
 A charge of cruelty also was the basis of a decree granted Thelma Martin White of Waterbury on her complaint against Henry White, also of this city. The marriage was performed Oct. 26, 1942, and the cruelty allegedly started Aug: 1. 1943. She was given custody of their child, and an allowance of $9 weekly for support. The action was not contested.
 Divorce actions brought by Same uel Francis Fenn, Jr., of Water bury against Bernice Mouilliet Fennt
 also of this city, and by Sophie KrivinskaS Lane of Waterbury
 against Harold Lane of Cheshire were withdrawn. The Fenns were married Oct. 31, 1041 and have three children. The Lanes mar . riage was performed Oct. 21, 19SC and they have two children.

Hot Seat For
Grid Coaches
BY CARL BELL
AP Newsfeotures

Az NeWSfeQtuFeS
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark.-Drawl-
ing John Barnhill stepped into
one of the toughest football coach
ing assignments in the country
this year when he crossed the
Arkansas river after a bowl houn-
tiful tenure at the University of
Tennessee.
The University of Arkansas
gave Barnhill a five-year con-
tract at $4,000 per, and it's UNI
officially reported that the docu-
ment carried a bowl bonus clause.
But, in accepting it, the genial
Tennessean took over a hot seat
which each of Is other paid
coaches have occupied for an av-
erage of less than three years.
Arkansas fans want a winner.
If they don't get one, history
shows, their first impulse is to
hire new coach. A 1945 legisla-
tive act empowered the univer-
sity to offer Barnhill its biggest
paycheck in history. The previous
high was $4,000 a year, drawn by
Fred c. Tomsen who also stayed
the longest-13 years.
Barnhill's job is to reiuvenate a
team which has been in the
Southwest Conference cellar four
times since the thirties, when the
Razorbacks reigned as powers of
the circuit with two titles and
two near misses.
Since taking over on Univer-.
Sity Hill shortly after Jan. /,
Barnhill and his four assistants
the largest staff in Arkansas his
tory-have been hard to find in
Fayetteville. They've been out
scouting for prospects-1945 high
school stars, war veterans, jun
ior college transfers or any other
eligible boys who look like they
can play football.
He plans to inaugurate an ath-
letes' dormitory and a training
table on the campus, and now is
working on an expanded program
designed to attract more athletes
and to keep them in condition the
year round.
Barnhill has planned his pro-
gram with an eye to the future,
with the best results coming in
two or three years. He has no il
lusions of championships for next
year.
The lanky head coach and ath-
letic director has won the hearts
of the states citizens, and they
will support him by putting up.
the money and furnishing the
athletes he.needs to win.
So this looks like a pretty soft
job-good pay and plenty of help
with all to gain and nothing to
lose. However, Is coaches who
preceded Barhhill~ wouldn't say.
