Y., Jan. 11 W) The new associate profes sor, seated at his desk in room 201, believes professional foot ball is out for the war's dura tion. Ho mokes a strange looking faculty member, this six-foot, three-inch 230-pounder attired in 'running pants and a grey sweat shirt, but on the subject of pro football he's as erudite as they come. The big guy is Mel Hein, 33. fresh from 12 years with tho New. York Giants, now head foot ball coach and associate profes sor of physical education at lit tle Union college in upstate New York. Professional football's war time future "looks very doubt ful," Mel asserts, mainly because tho present caliber of play could not be maintained with so many stars in the armed service. "They might go ahead with a regular schedule next fall," the pro league lineman, who played his last game only last month, explained in an interview, "but it will hurt the prestige of the game if they do. They'd be forced to play a lot of men who ordinarily wouldn't make the grade. "I think they'll be smart to drop it altogether and pick up again after the war where they left off."

New York Life Dorais Seen As Good Pro Grid Coach Professional Football Is A Passing Game; So Doralt Should Be Great Pro Coach By WATSON SPOELBTRA DETROIT, Jan. 11 (P) Pro fessional football Is essentially i passing league, and that's why tne many xoiiowers of Charles IS. (Gus) Dorais are convinced that he will make good in the National league as new coach of tne Detroit Lions. -Dorais was football's first great forward passer three dec ades ago whilo pitching aerials at iNotre Dame to his roommate, 2nd Knute Rockne, and his unl- versity of Detroit elevens for 18 seasons have used the air. lanes for nearly a .700 winning average. "You know, we can't do any worse than the 1942 Lions." Do rais remarked dryly as he sign ed a contract over the weekend as head coach and part owner ol the pro club; Last fail the Lions dropped all 11 games for a record unmatched in league nistory. While Owner Fred L. Man del Jr., disclosed no terms, Do rais is believed to have signed for five years at $12,000 an nually, with a minimum of $7, 500 a year if the league folds for the duration. In addition, he may continue to hold, at the pleasure of voters, his $5000 city council seat. ' The finances involved make it quite clear why Dorais gave up a college job he presumably could have held for life. Ha thus follows recent moves of Elmer Layden, Jock Sutherland, Greasy Neale and Jimmy Con zelman from the campus to the postgraduate game.
