Al Kircher Fired As Head Coach At Washington State Pullman, Wash. (U.R) Alton S. (Al) Kircher, Washington State College football coach, was fired last night after his Cougars finished the 1955 campaign with a sorry 1-7-2 record. C. Clement French, college president, said the college would buy up the one year remaining on Kircher's five-year contract. The contract called for an an nual salary of $12,500. Kircher, a letterman in three sports at Michigan State, came to WSC in 1950 as an assistant to Coach Forest Evashevski and was promoted to head coach when Evashevski left for Iowa at the end of the 1951 season. Worst in History A great 1952 season was pre dicted for the 1952 campaign but the Cougars won but 4 and lost 6. This year's mark of 1 win in 10 starts was the worst in WSC history. Kircher's f our-y ear mark at WSC was 13 victories, 25 losses and 2 ties. - Alumni had been howling for Kircher's scalp ever since the Cougars lost to UCLA 55-0, worst defeat of a WSC team since 1922. Kircher was also hanged in effigy once during the season. Also affected by the announce ment were assistants Mike Scarry, line coach, and Dale Gen fry, end coach, both hired on a year-to-year basis. Freshman Coach Dan Stevly was not ef fected. French said his decision to buy up Kircher's contract was made "following a recommenda tion from Stan Bates, director of intercollegiate athletics, on the basis of what's best for the Washington State athletic pro gram." Bates said nothing bad been done about replacing Kircher. "We are in no great hurry," he said. "We want to make sure the man we hire will fit into the athletic picture at WSC." NBA Season May Be High Scoring New York (U.R) The present National Basketball association season promises to be the highest scoring in history, and the rise is directly traceable to free throw shooting. The NBA reported today that in 27 games played so far in the young season, teams have scored an average of 96.6 points per game compared to an average of 92.6 at the same- time last year. The difference can be quickly found in the free throw department, where the average has jumped from 26.9 per game to 30.7. The scoring splurge has seen at least one team go over the 100 mark in 16 of the 27 games. Five times both teams did it, with St. Louis turning in the sea son high of 121 points against New York on Nov. 15.
