Yale May Renew Pact
Yale University is said to be
readying a new 3-year contract
for its surprising head football
coach, Jordan Olivar. A reliable
source has told the Associsfted
Press that Olivar wouldn't br in
terested in anything less than three
years—and that his terms prob
ably will be met. Olivar took the
coaching job at Yale only three
weeks before the start of the sea
son.
He moved east from Loyola of
Los Angeles after Loyola dropped
football. Olivar took over on short
notice and Yale has had its best
-season since 1946. The Bulldogs
have won 6 and lost only one.
Newsmen contacted Olivar at his
Yale office today. And the coach
said the contract talk is all news
to him.
Olivar repeated an earlier state
ment that he expects to return to
his home in Inglewood, Cal., right
after the season ends—and he
added that nothing has happened
yet to make him change his mind.
Newsmen asked the Yale coach if
he would consider any offer made
to him. And hfe replied ...:“Of
course, but it would have to be
very attractive.”

In other scheduled games Bar
rister Inn forfeited to Hale Kane
and Merrick hall forfeited to

Gamma hall was postponed and
rescheduled for some time next

Stitzer outlasted the winless
Sherry Ross team 15-8, 11-15, and
15-12 in a slow game that was fea
tured by sloppy play on the part
of both sides. Underdog Sherry
Ross put up a stiff battle all the
way and with a few breaks might
have pulled an upset. Don Porter
and Max Anderson sparked the
winning Stitzer effort while Davis
played well for the losers.
The Yeomen spotted Campbell
club a 15-9 first game win and
then rallied back to down the
Clubbers 15-8 and 15-12 to nail
down the match. Pittman and
Wilcox were the main cogs' in tl«e
Yeomen comeback while Jim
Vickers and Don Monte played
outstanding ball for Campbell
club.
Playing with only three men,
Philadelphia House put up a ter
rific fight before finally succumb
ing to the Counselors. After the
Counselors had squeaked to a 15-12
first game win, the "Phillies' r
threesome of Jack Eurke, Paul
Weston, and Harold Long took
command and led their team to a
15-13 victory in the second en
counter. The third and final tussle
developed into a rout as the vic
ious spikes of Merv Englund and
Ken Ball of the Counselors was
too much for their opponents to
handle and Philadelphia House
went down to a 15-4 defeat.
