how Cert felt when she opened her

that someone had removed the bot
toms of all her new pajamas, and
other necessities? Enroute to

unhappy about it all. Before

marked to their baby sitters,
Joan Easton, Id, and Lois Everett,
15, that the house would look bet
ter without the porch which Joan's
father, Floyd Easton, who owns
the building, had planned to reno
vate. Returning home after dark,
Mrs. Thomas said, "Dick, there's
no porch here The husband
questioned his wife's sanity but
felt around in the dark and dis
covered she was too correct.
While they were gone, the two
girls, ably assisted by Michael
Thomas, 3, had dismantled the un-
wanted porch with vocal help
from all the neighbors.

By the Assoeiofsd Press

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 27.-
Speculation on the probable sue
cessor to HOWE Odell as head coach
of the Yale football team ranged
widely today as a report that Lou
Little of Columbia was favored for
the post was countered by a de-
NAL that the Columbia mentor al

The report, which quoted IAN un-

Advisory Committee. as authority,
was to the effect that Little was
"the first choice of the group" and
that Little had had conversations
with the Yale committee.
From his Fairfield home, Edwin
Foster Blair, chairman of the ath-
letic committee, said that as far
as he knew the committee "has not
as yet arrived at first choice. "
Blair said the committee was COM
piling a list of foremost coaches
"who might fit into the Yale stu
alton" He added that while 1t was
certain that Littles name would be
near the top of the list, no offer
had been made to the Columbia
coach.
Meanwhile, announcement that
Reggie Root, Yale line coach and
Odell's chief assistant, also would
transfer to the University Of Wash
ington was made simultaneously by
Reggie and by Harvey Cassill, ath-
letic director of the West Coast
university. Root said he would
leave for his new post as soon as
he could arrange his affairs here.

paign, has drawn 90,068 spectators
in "a home games, an increase OF
more than 1000 over the same pc
riod last year.
Most of the gain, however, is be-
cause more games have been
played. Last season there were
80 at this stage of the campaign.
The 1s4S average. is higher, how
ever. The "a games have averaged
2,649, against 2,433 for 1s47.
Every school except Texas shows
a gain. The reason for the fall
off there is that one less game has
been played. The biggest increase
is by Rice, with 10000 for seven
games this year, compared to TO-
600 for the same number last sea
son.
James H. Stewart, executive Sec

the 1s4S gains to the fact that there
