Sanders 10 Remain
.UCLA's Coach as
Florida Is 0utbid
By the Associoted Press

LOS ANGELES, Dec. gu. C.L.
A. has won a cross-country tug
of-war with the University of
Florida for the football coaching
talents of Henry (Red Sanders.
U. C L. A. officials announced
last night that the humorous,
likable coach has decided to re-
main at the Bruin institution and
implied that he has received a
new contract.
The announcement. following a
meeting of the schools Board Of
Control, ended a week of specula-
ton stemming from reports that
Sanders had received juicy offer
to move to Florida.
The U. c. L. A. statement quoted
no figures. but persons close to
the situation said the pact would
run for 10 years and the stipend
would be $4,000 a year, plus a
substantial expense account.
Sanders was not available for
comment, but Eli Fink Of Florida S
State Board of Control was. He
said at Jacksonville that Sanders
decision was no surprise. 49,
1T is true we had made San
ders an offer" said Fink, "but
his attitude long ago had led us
to believe he was merely using
our offer to better his position at
U. c. l.. A.
"He told us the other day that
he had been promised a 10-year
contract at $4,000 a year plus a
healthy expense account. This is
better than the deal we had pro-
posed and which he accepted, ap-
parently in good faith"
Sanders said earlier this week
that he had discussed the matter
with a member Of the Florida
Board of Control but had received
no official offer.
Unofficial reports from the
South said Florida was willing to
pay him $4,000 yearly and $4,000
for expenses.

State Plans More
Aid For Parks

State parks located in Ottawa
county will benefit by improve
ments totaling $4,000 during the
next biennium if the additions
and betterments bill now being
considered by the Finance Com
mittee in the House of Represen-
tatives is approved by both bran
ches of the legislature.
Rep. Robert w. Reider, a mem
ber of the general section of the
powerful finance group, said, ear
lier this week, that he would
"stubbornly resist" any attempts
to cut the appropriations that have
been set up for Ottawa county.
Rep. Reider expressed conf
dance that the budget figures af-
fecting the county would remain
intact because "this area is in the
heart of Ohio's vacationland and
would benefit the most people of
the state.
A breakdown of the appropria-
tions indicates that a major por-
tion would go toward continuation
of the development of East Har-
Dor State Park.
For this project, a sum of $751;
500 has been set aside for build
ings, equipment and other capital
improvements.
Catawba Island state park would
receive $4,000 and South Bass
Island State Park $500 under
present provisions of the appro-
priation bill, Rep. Reider said.
