Murray Evans, head coach at

termed increasing pressure from
the Athletic Committee Of the

Evans notified DR.. Evan Allard

nit a formal resignation today
effective June l.
Evans refused direct comment
on his reasons for leaving the
post, saying that under the
circumstances, I think this Is
the best thing" He said he had
not been asked TO resign but
there had been obvious dissatis-
faction with the football teams

.Frick Plans Week
To Prove Baseball
Is Far From Dead
BY ,hs A.soeiu.sd Pr.s.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3I.-Com-
missioner Ford Frick lashed out
last night at prophets Of doom
who claim baseball is dying and
called on 100 million fans to
join in Tets play ball week."
March 1926.
Frick's address at the 32d an
nual dinner Of the New York
Chapter of the Baseball Writers
Association was meant as an
answer to "self-appointed critics
who, unhampered by fact, are
interested only in personal pub
licity or selfish self f-interest."
The commissioner asked the
fans to participate in his "let's
play ball week" at every level
Of the game.
Obviously annoyed at persist
ent gloom-spreaders. Frtck
claimed there are more baseball
fans in the United States than
qualified voters.
"And yet we read today that
baseball is dying" he said. THE
obvious answer to that. to para
phrase a great American gen.
eral, is Nuts"
Willie Mays Of the Giants ac-
cepted the Sid Mercer award
as player of the year" for 1854
and Horace StonehaIn. president
of the Giants, received the VIII
liam j. Slocum award for long
and meritorious service"
Three new members Of the
Hall Of Fame. Joe DiMaggio,
Dazzy Vance and Gabby Hart
nett, attended the dinner. The
fourth, Ted Lyons. was not pres
ent.
After the speech-making. the
actors" Of the chapter staged
an 80-minute musical revue en-
titled Go West. Young Man"
or "Has Anybody Here Seen
Philadelphia" The theme Of the
show. directed by Eddie Dowling
and produced by Ken Smith. was
westward expansion.

Fetchick's 266 Wins
Imperial Valley Golf
Nv m. As,oeio,ed Pres.

BRAWLEY, Calf, Jan. 31.--If
Mike Fetchick handles his 81. 900
winners check with the same
deliberation he showed In the
final round of the SIS. 900 Imperial
Valley Open golf tournament
there's no telling when he'll get
1t cashed.
The tall pro from Scarsdale.
N. Y, was the epitome of care
fulness as he shot a three-under-
par 81 for 72-hole total Of 266.
But Fetchick's caution paid
of with FIVE brides on the short
6.000-yard Del Rio course on
which a misplay would cost
strokes on the heavily trapped
layout.
Fetchick finished two strokes
ahead of Bob Kay of West Hart
ford. Conn, who turned in the
days lowest round--a 64--to
wind UP with 268. Bob Harris Of
Chicago and Billy Maxwell of
Odessa, Tex, both had SO and
