In resigning after three years as mentor of the Vandals,
Erb wrote a letter to Dr. Kelly expressing his appreciation
of the "unparalleled loyalty and cooperation of my team, the
students and faculty, and the university administration." Dr.
Kelly, in another letter thanked the coach, who was quarter-
uacn oi me iamornia wonaer ream in iz3, ior Ms serv
ices to the University of Ida
ho.
r The resignation becomes
effective September 1,. 1929.
It was estimated here that no
successor to Erb was being ser
iously considered aa ret.
. V Coach Erb'a resignation, ex
pected for some time, is of par
ticular -Interest to Salem, sport
'followers for the reason that two
men formerly , connected with
- sports at Willamette university
have been mentioned prominently
as possible successors.
. ri One la R. L. Mathews, former
ly coach at Willamette, and later
; at the University-f Idaho, coins:
. from here. to St. Louis university.
," He baa recently heen.ln tbe north-west

MOSCOW. Ida-, Dec. 22. (AP)
Alumni; criticism, -combined
with student' dissatisfaction ot
. Coach Charlie Erb's two year
showing in football at the Uni
Tersity of Idaho, was advanced
'here tonight In . unofficial circles,
as an explanation of , his reslgna
" tion. The Vandal coach a few
days ago "denied newspaper items
that he intended resigning.
For more than a year, members
of tbe Alumni association said to
night, departmental difficulties,
augmented by clashes with univer
sity officials, r which- this spring
. prompted the officials to recom
mend that Erb take a vacation
away from tne campus, nave
caused dissatisfaction among the
"graduates.
Erb refused a statement on the
resignation, but announced
he would leave tomorrow for .New
Orleans to attend a meeting of
: athletic coaches. .
