VETERAN GRID COACH QUITS OREGON By Arnold Bennett Hall (Continued -from, Vatje One) entitled to know my situation definitely before starting; East, Novem ber 26tli. The whole of my personal affairs Is pending on this request. If convenient and possible a reply to this letter before Friday, No vember 22nd, would be deeply appreciated.” He came to my office again at noon today, November 21, and insisted again that I give him an immediate answer. My reply to all of these requests has been the same, namely, that the season was not yet over, that I had not been able to consult with the members of the athletic committee to whom belongs the authority to initiate recommendations, nor with the other officials of the University whose advice and counsel it would be necessary for me to have in order to come to an intelligent decision. Moreover, I have not had an oppor tunity to discuss the matter with the Oregon State Board of Higher Education. 1 had not supposed that I would be pressed for a decision over a year before the decision would be effective. 1 did inform Captain McEwan that I would attempt to canvass the whole situation, discuss it "with the State Board, with the athletic committee and the executive council, and attempt to reach a decision early in the winter, so that in case a decision was reached not to re-employ him he would not be unduly' handicapned in seeking empioy'ment elsewhere. Moreover, I have not had the opportunity to canvass the coaching , situation generally to determine what men are available. Obviously, " it is my duty to recommend the best man that is available at the limited sums we have to offer. Finally, as I suggested to Captain McEwan today, we are giving very serious consideration to changing the status of our coaching staff from that of contract to a professorial status on indefinite tenure with possible reduction in salary. No decision yet has been reached upon this important question of policy and none can be reached until adequate opportunities h.'ivc been afforded to canvass this whole situ ation with all those interested in the University administration and with the Oregon State Board of Higher Education. I assured Captain McEwan that as soon as a decision could be reached he would at once lie notified. A final decision in the matter cannot lie reached until the season is over and a careful survey has been made of the results of the last four years of work, and we can inform ourselves as to the possibili ties in the coaching* world and until all of this evidence can be canvassed with the State Board of Higher Education, the Executive Council, and the athletic committee and other members and depart ments and the administration who are concerned. As soon as this situation can be canvassed and a decision reached, which will probably be sometime in the winter, definite announcement will be made. VARSITY GRID COACH QUITS OREGON By John J. McEwan (Continued from Tagc One) employed, because other opportunities can be taken advantage of onjy if it is known that a football coach is available. • ( I feel that I am entitled to know my situation definitely before starting east, November 26. The whole of my personal affairs is pending on this request. If convenient and possible a reply to this letter before Friday, November 22, would be deeply appreciated. Sincerely yours, John J. McEwan, Head Coach of Football, University of Oregon. I thought the letter a fair one and still think so. He discussed the whole question with me for an hour and ten minutes. In the interview in? clearly indicated that he had no intention of retaining me as coach. I re-visited him in his office at noon November 21 to discuss cer tain vital matters in connection with the trip of the Oregon football team to Florida. After a discussion of these matters I asked him again if he would come to a decision concerning my status as footlKtll coach. His reply was that he had not and would not until after the first of the year, along in the winter. He outlined for me his ideal of what a football coach should he. ft was so far at variance with my conception of what a football couch should be that I asked him if lie contemplated making a change. He told me that lie was planning on changing the type of head coach. In his statement he says, “We are giving very serious consideration to changing the coaching staff from contract to a professorial status on indefinite tenure with a ^ possible reduction of salary.” I told him that this type of football coach had never been success ful in the history of American football; that it was impossible for a football coach to retain his position if his team did not win. He agreed with me. He told me a football coach on the purely profes sorial status was the only type of coach he would tolerate. I asked him again if he desired to retain me. I made no mention of salary or terms of contract. I asked him if he would object to my making public the announcement ot my resignation. He told me,,he had no objection whatever. On this matter I first went to the director of athletics, which is the proper procedure under our athletic organi zation. I was told that the whole matter of athletic coaches and their contracts was in the hands ot the president. My whole purpose in all this alfair was merely to get an expres sion as to the intent of the administration as to my future in the University of Oregon. No football coach can be successful who has not a three-year outlook toward the future. *U. whole experience with the football squad, student body, my immediate suiariors, the jieoplc of Eugene and the State ot Oregon has lieen a very happy one and I made the decision to announce my resignation only when it became absolutely necessary.

Mez, assistant pro fessor of economics and political science, will be the principal speaker at the informal dinner meeting of the Graduate club in Portland this evening at 6 o'clock at the Congress hotel, ac cording to Dean George Rebec of the graduate school. Dr. Mez will speak on the subject, ‘‘Recent Cul tural and Educational Movements in Germany.” The dinner meeting is one of a series to be held during the year according to Dean Rebec. All in terested graduates of the univer sity as well as the graduate stu dents are invited to attend, he says. The Graduate club, according to Dean Rebec, is an informal organ ization of graduate students in Portland who use the club as a medium for getting together and working out their problems. Since the graduate students there have no campus, and since they seldom meet in classes devoted to grad uate students only, they are more or less isolated and have no grounds for acquaintance other than the club.
