AIDE GETS 3-YEAR CONTRACT
Eagles Pick Skorich
ToSucceed Shaw

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. %
APP The champion Philadel-
phia Eagles today named Nick
Skorich, who had been an as
sistant to rccently resigned
Buck Shaw, as their new head
coach. He was given o three
year contract.
The 39-year-old Skorich be-
came the 11th Eagles coach
since the club was founded by
the late Bert Bell in 1888. A
collegiate football star at the
University Of Cincinnati, ne
came here as an assistant to
Shaw in 1859.
Skorich. who played profess
sional football with the Pitts
burgh Steelers and Green Bay
Packers, was chiefly responsible
for the great line play which
helped the Eagles win the 1860
title.
Forced by injury to give UP
as a pro player after the 1948
season, Skorich coached at
Pittsburgh Central High School
from 1949 through 1852, was
head coach at Rensselaer, Poly
for the 1853 campaign, then
Joined the Steelers as an as
sistant. He remained at Pitts
burgh until 1858, when he
helped coach the Packers for
one season. D..
Picked for Experience
Skorich was reported the top
candidate for the Eagle job
several weeks ago. The Eagles
apparently leaned to the stocky
native Of Bellaire. Ohio, be-
cause Of his professional coach
ing experience.
It was this experience which
gave him the edge for the job
over Quarterback Norm Van
Brocklin. who retired as an
active player after leading the
Eagles to the title last season.
Van Brocklin since has become
head coach Of the new Mime
sofa Vikings.

Purdue Poses
First Big Test
For Buckeyes
BY the Associated Press

by the Assocteteu fTesS
The folks In the midlands who
say purdue's Jerry Dischinger
is as good as his Olympic team
mate. Jerry Lucas. and that
Ohio State Is far from invincible
get o chance to test their theory
this week as college basketball
begins to break out Of its mid
term doldrun1s.
Dischinger. probably destined
to spend his college career in
Lucas shadow, has q head-to-
head meeting with the Buckeye
An-American Saturday after
noon when Purdue and top
ranked Ohio State collide at
Columbus, Ohio. for the Big
Ten lead.
The 6-foot-6 Discl1inger,
struggling off o badly cut finger
suffered in q chemistry lab ac-
cident. scored 10 points as Pur-
due (9-3 bounced fourth
ranked Iowa off q 10-game win
ming streak and out Of the Big
Ten lead with a 47-4l thump-
ing Saturday night. Terry is
expected to be fully recovered
by the time the Boilermakers
get at the Buckeyes. their top
national ranking and their Ma
tion-leading 18-game winning
streak.
Warmup with wildcats
Purdue first has @ conference
test at Northwestern tonight
but this one doesn't figure to
be much more than O warmup
for the big Saturday game.
Dischinger. who beat Lucas
in the conference scoring race
last year and outscored him In
their meetings as sophomores
gets only this one chance
against the Buckeyes. There's
no home-and-home series be-
tween Purdue and Ohio State
this season.
If it's o showdown Coach Ray
Eddy has In mind. he may find
Ohio State less inclined to con-
troll than the Hawkeyes were
over the week end.
Minnesota Coach John
Kundls tried 1t against Ohio
State and 1t befuddled the
Buckeyes for only S minutes.
Behind Gel at the time, the de-
Tending NCAA ch ampion q
switched into an aggressive,
ball-hawking defense, reeled
off eight straight points and
went on to o 1855 victory. Lu-
cas- scored % points and his
starting mates all hit in double
figures.
The Purdue-Ohi State
showdown Is the first Of about
three which Ohio State figures
to face in the rest Of the reg
ular season games at Iowa and
at Indiana next month are the
others.
Week Starts Slowly
The schedule dribbles along
the first four days this week,
with only q dozen major games,
before opening up o bit on
Friday. Most Of the power
teams will be back in action
either Friday. Saturday or a
