Syracuse Coach Worries
About Prospects for 1860

NEW YORK, Dec. IA (APl.-
Ben Schwartzwalder, coach of
Syracuse's unbeaten, united,
Cotton Bowl bound football
team, is no different from most
other mentors.
The national champions are
headed for a January l date
with Texas at Dallas after COM
pleting a 100 season. But al

ing about next years prospects.
I'VE were, indeed. pleasantly
surprised this year." Schwartz
walder said last night as he
accepted the Lambert Trophy
awarded annually to the out
standing Eastern big college
team. But next year? I hate
to think about it. I'm afraid we
won't be back except to pass the
trophy on to another school,"
But there was something of
a twinkle in the eyes of the
man with the close cropped
gray hair as he made the state

coach, he has to bear the ulti-

The Lakers have switched
coaches once before in mid
season. In 1857 they fired
George Mikan and pulled
Johnny Kundla out of the gen.
eral managers Office and re-
stored him as coach.
I'VE have four games coming
up that should give us some
answers" Short said. IF we
can't manage a better won-lost
record in those than we have so
far, it looks as though we're
going to make some changes.
