Petition Demands Cleveland Coach
Be Hired; Illini Mentor Goes Home
. - , i
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20 -P)- Mutterings of dissatisfaction over
the selection of a new football coach echoed across the University of
California campus today, and the Implication was this:
ti Ray Eliot of Illinois lands the job the alumni may not give him
lie cooperation and support to.
irhich he has grown accustomed.
Some old grad and under grad
factions, it develops, are still hold
ing out for Paul Brown, capable
and costly coach of the Cleveland
professionals.
The university failed to offer
Brown the salary to which he has
grown accustomed; Eliot flew out
to confer with USC officials yes
terday; nobody signed anything;
Eliot went heme, and all is not
serene it tramway tech.
Today's furore centered around
a petition being circulated on the
campus. It was directed against
Fred D. Fagg, president of the
university. It suggested that he
and the board of trustees offer
Brown more money.
The petitioners hastened to point
out they have nothing against
Eliot. It's just that they'd rather
have Brown and hang the expense.
The petition reportedly was
sponsored, without sanction, by
members of the General Alumni
association, non-member alumni.
students, and members of the Tro
jan club. These are the groups
which recruit the football players.
There are others.
USC, it has been reported, of
fered Brown $15,000 a year, about
the same it paid the ousted Jeff
Cravath. Eliot's fee ranges between
$18,000 and $18,000. The figures
are all unofficial.

Even though a member of the
ODDOsition last season, Novikoff
made many friends in Salem dur

loquaciousness. Since his name

Novikoff a few seasons back
was classed as the greatest slugger
in all minor league baseball. He

when Coach Gene Barrett's Hill

to play Don Vandervort's Cardi

A small but scrappy team, the
Preps have posted two major up

league action this season. They
have downed both the strong
Woodburn and Silverton teams.
The Cards have at times been Im
pressive in their season also,

today.
