Wyoming Pact
For New Coach
|MayStartT Trend

LARAMIE. Wyo.. Feb. S R.-
The contract between Wyoming
and its new head football coach,
Robert S. Devaney, may start q
trend among colleges that have
been losing their coaches to
other schools before their con-
tracts expired.
The 41-year-old Devaney. who
has been Michigan State end
coach. agreed to a three-year
contract with Wyoming yester-
day containing a clause that
withholds part Of Devaney's SAL
airy pending completion OF the
contract.
Wyoming lost its last two
coaches. Bowden Wyatt and Phil
Dickens. in the middle of long
term agreements. Dickens went
to Indiana recently and took all
his assistants with him.
After signing for a reported
$l0.500 a year, Devaney said he
would install the Michigan State
multiple offense system at Wyo-
ming. He said the Cowboys
would have no trouble learning
1T because they already have
been using a mixed single wing
and T offense.
Devaney said he expects to
name his five assistant coaches
lin a week or two weeks" He
indicated at least two or three
probably would come from the
Midwest and another would
probably be a Wyoming high
school coach.

selection of Devaney will be a
step forward. not only for Wyo-
ming. but for all Rocky Noun

EGYPT STILL AT WAR

CAIRO, tR - Egyptian officials reiterated today that Israeli ships are barred from using the Suez Canal.
 The Egyptian governments po sitiom is that it still is technically at war with Israel, even though it signed an armistice in 1948. The ban on Israeli shipping was in effect long before the Israeli anl French-British attack on Egypt last fall.
 The owner of a Dutch coaster, the 499-ton Vidala, has protested against seizure of his cargo bound for the Israeli port of Haifa. Up to now the protest to Egyptian authorities has produced no re- suits. The Vidala has been held at 2 Suez since last October.
 Two small ships started moving through the canal today, and Egypt was expected to turn on the green light that would per init removal of two remaining major Instructions that would open the canal to medium size ships for the first time since early November.
 The canal authority announced last night that the canal would be open at daybreak to ships of less than 500 tons.
 Under the authority's rules the two small ships did not have to pay tolls, because they are under 300 tons.
 The Suez Canal Authority of fices were closed today and there was no confirmation of reports that it would demand payment of all tolls to Egypt including tolls for passage of British and French ships when the canal is open to normal shipping.
