For Post
BERKELEY, Calif., Fob. 17
() Big Lynn Waldorf had a
new job cut to his size today -reviving
the golden era of foot
ball at the University of Cali
fornia. The task of coaching the Gold
en Bears, who last went to the
Rose Bowl in 1S38 when they
whipped Alabama 13-0, was ac
cepted as a "challenge" .lust night
by the man who has been grid
iron mentor of Northwestern in
the Big Nino the past 12 years.
He succeeds Frank Wickhorst
whose contract wus tnken up
amidst a clamor of students after
the Bears won only two games
out of nine last season.
"I understand that previ
ously the associated students
at California have been in
charge of athletics to the ex
tent of hiring and firing
coaches." Waldorf said at
Evanston. 111. "I have been
told all that will be changed
and that the incoming staff
will be responsible directly to
the president. I was assured
that would be my position."
What salary Waldorf will get
was not disclosed, but the Jovial
"Pappy" is understood to have
been receiving about $10,000 a
year at Northwestern and he re
marked last night that "Califor
nia offers a challenge and an
opportunity that I could not
aftord to turn down."
Free to choose his own Berk
eley staff, as California bids for
a return to the glory of such
Boar machines as Andy Smith's
1921-22 "wonder teams," Wal
dorf will head west Tuesday to
sign a three-year contract. He
said he was considering as a pos
sible assistant, Burt lug worsen,
"who was with me eight years
before becoming line coach at
Illinois."
