'While I regret to leaTe Talej ft, is without, any rancor,?, said Pond, Tale football chief for the past seven campaigns. "I guess It's one of the risks of coaching I had a hunch something was going to happen,- but they're picked a fine fellow in Spike, who is a fine coach and was always loyal to me." Nelson, Tale line coach since 1939, said from a sick bed where he is recovering from a touch of flu that he was "completely sur prised." "What's to be done? Well, that's something to be approached carefully. There will be something to say soon, but nothing right bow," he declared. Nelson took the job with power to name his own staff. The 36-year-old new mentor has coached at Iowa, Louisiana State and Mississippi State, where he was in full charge. He takes over in the wake of Tale's most disastrous football season which saw the Blue drop seren of its eight games and with prospects none too bright for 1941.
