College Coaches
Still Shift- Jobs
New York, Feb. 7 (U.R) To
heck with the players, you can't
even tell the coaches without a
program today.
Although winter traditionally
is the season for the shuffling of
football professorships, the
changes reached a record high
as 17 major colleges promised
new tutors for 1950 and five pro
fessional teams likewise made
switches.
The latest developments came
when Art Lewis of Mississippi
State was hired at West Vir
ginia: Gene Ronzani, formerly
of the Chicago Bears, was named
head coach of the Green Bay
Packers of the National-Amer
ican Professional league: Art
Valpcy quit at Harvard to be
come head man at Connecticut,
and Henry Luecht resigned at
Washiniiton and Jefferson.
These left vacancies not only
at Harvard and W&J, but also at
St. Bonatenture, Iowa, Pitts
burgh and St. Mary s.

closest finishes in the history of

Coach Wallace Butts fired four
top Georgia football players to

not to be found on the campus or
in the team dormitory and evi
dently had left school.
They are Bill Hegarty, 220
pound tackle from Medford,
Mass.; Bob Lovely, 190-pound
tackle from Haverhill, Mass.;
Bob Olshan, quarterback from
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and halfback
Jac McHugh, Chicago.
