it being explained that it would
not be filled until the duties and
responsibilities Of this post were
most definitely defined.
After Woodruff last week issued
what in effect was an ultimatum
that conditions in the athletic de-
partment were intolerable and
that he would accept no compro-
mise, the Baylor Athletic Com
mittee continued Wolf as athletic
director pending his acceptance Of
the job Of director Of the stadium.
Woodruff then resigned. The next
day Wolf turned in his resigna-
ton Ito clear the atmosphere for
reorganization Of the athletic de-
partment."
This week the athletic commit
tee and a special committee met
repeatedly and finally worked out
plan that met the APPROVAL of
both Woodruff and Wolf. The
two accepted it before the Board
of Trustees ratified it. Then DR..
w. r. White, president Of Bay
lor. announced the matter had
been settled.
Wolf and Woodruff repeatedly
clashed over the way the ath-
letic- department was to be oper-
ated-Woodruff wanting it on a
greater scale and at more expense
than in the past. Wolf opposed
this.
Woodruff has been head coach
at Baylor three years, during
which time the football team
came out of the Southwest Con-
ference cellar to fight for the
championship and gain national
prominence. Wolf has been at
Baylor % years as athlete, coach
and athletic director.
DR.. White predicted that both
Mr.. Wolf and Coach Woodruff will
perform In the future still greater
service in Baylor's total life in
their respective fields"
There has been no coaching
troubles at other conference
schools. Blair Cherry at Texas,

Letters To
The Editor
AN OPEN LETTER TO WALTER
WHITE, SECRETARY OF THE
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR
THE ADVANCEMENT OF
COLORED PEOPLE

To the Editor of The Guardian
AS a colored American I am
answering your article that APP
peared in the Boston Post and
Look magazine tissue of August
80, 1949) recommending a chem
ical process whereby black
people could change the color
OF their skin. l sincerely hope
that the more intelligent, bet
ter thinking colored American
will look back on his heritage
with much pride, giving credit
to a people who have come up
from the chains and shackles
of slavery a little more than rs
years ago and made gains equal
to any other race in spite of
barriers that to others might
have been insurmountable.
DR.. Ralph Bunche, in an adj
dress at Fisk University said,
I'VE are nearing the goal" cer-
tainly it has not been done by
the colored man who has gone
over on the other side, but by
the brave and fearless who have
been proud to b black and given
glory to their own, such as our
Marion Anderson, Rland Hayes,
Joe Louis and DR.. Ralph Bunche.
A number Of years ago when
you were in field work for the
.NAACP and went on some peril
GUS missions, l heard you speak
at Mother Zion Church in New
York, and you began your speech
by saying, UNFORTUNATELY, I have
a color that / can use on both
sides of the fence" I admired
you, for that, why the change?
This was a number Of years ago,
and since then we have seen a
steady uprising, and I am sure
there will be no need to give
the merits of this people to any
but to whom they belong, the
black race.
MINNIE ROSS,
A Boston Citizen.
