ON SPORTS
By Arthur i?ehoenl.
. . Some fellows Just can't aiuy
out of troubu Take our old
friend and acquaintance, John J.
( McEwan, who used to coach at
. ; the University of Oregon and
later at Holy Cross. Cap Is a
T cenlal gent, with a big, glad
':hnd:.for everyone, and a great
::. r'Ilow;:;to..get along with "the
Cap. :ts th.troxible back at Holy Cross
nbwi;:;Ve !.as fired after the Brown
gam;' over a squabble with author
ities, and pe'a now fighting the re
moval in cpurt. His contract baa a
year more to run.
The University of Oregon had rea
son to be sorry It nad a three-year
contract with" McEwai a few years
back. McEwan ran Into trouble with
the students by refusing to take a
student manager on tht Florida trip.
He refused to be bound by the gradu
ate manager's budget and spent mon
ey like water. Finally, Doc Hall had
to ask McEwan to leave, but the
cagey form West Point coach quit
only after they had paid him about
$8,000 on his next years wages, for
which he had a contract. McEwan
probably will quit at Holy Cross, but
the fathers back there will have to
come through with a fat percentage
of his 1933 wages before he does.
That's our guess.
t
Cap Isn't the only one who Is
vacating his coaching position.
The nation this winter Is seeing
Its biggest crop of vacant Jobs In
football coaching what a break
for the boys who are looking for'
something to do.
Mai Stevens quit at Yale to be a
doctor, Pop Warner deserted Stanford
for Temple, Alonzo 3tagg retired from
Chicago, Bob Waddell stepped out as
Carnegie Tech coach to enter busi
ness. Major Sasse quit at West Point.
Fordham, College of the Pacific. Ken
tucky and a host of others are look
ing for new coaches. Oh, for a big
name and a knowledge of football!
The tendency with many colleges
Is to hire some well known alumnus
to coach its football team. Howard
Harps tar, ail-American quarterback in
1028, la going back to coach at Car
negie Tech nxt fall. Hunk Ander
son used to be a Notre Dame player
Prink Calllson played center for Old
Oregon back In 1919, and played
against ts reat Eddie Casey In the
Oregon -Harvard Rose Bowl game
Casey now coaches Harvard.
Incidentally, that Oregon-Harvard
game marked the last time
that the oast has won the Rose
Bowl classic. From 1920 to 19.12,
each year has seen the nest's fin
est gridiron warriors humble the
easterners. Sout hern California
has better Mian an even chance
, to defeat the twice tied Pitts
burgh Panthers New Year's day
and make It the 1.1th straight
win. if you are superstitious,
you will sny that 13 Is unlucky
and the east will break the spell
of the Pacific Personally, we
think It's Just so much Intellec
tual spinach, this superstition.
