It is understood that Klein will be freshmen coach lit ail sports when the staff Is reorganized. • • • A committee of board members in session Wednesday had nothing for publication but admitted the coaching situation was discussed. No definite date was made for a future meeting of the group. Meanwhile outstate editors have contributed their expressions and Gene Kemper in the Fremont Tribune, states his feelings in part as follows: No one was surprised to learn that Col. L. M. “Biff” Jones expects to reject the lame duck proposition offered him by rep- prcsentatives of the University of Nebraska. No man of his stature in athletics could be expected to return a.s direcUir merely to pick up the remaining loose change from a contract drawn four years ago and submit to the conditions of employment reportedly offered him. • • • Persons contacting the colonel on behalf of the regents and the athletic board planne<i to usurp the other portion of Jones contract by taking the football team away from him. They would pick a new football coach’, in fact, already have had u committee functioning for this purpose for several months. Biff Jones couldn’t stomach that and neither can thousands of Nebraskans who remember his couching tenure as the golden era—when Minnesota and Pittsburgh were beaten and the Huskers played Stanford in the 1940 Rose Bowl. • • • If the university must provide for a successor and the future of Nebraska football. It must follow some accepted fundamentals that certainly were not contained In the proposition offered Colonel Jones. • • • First, a director must be placed In charge of the entire athletic program and held responsible lor it. If the director is not to coach football—as apparently some with dlctative authority have decided- then he and he alone should recommend the football coach and the head coaches of ail other sports. How could a director accept responsibility for a football coach someone else appointed? How could a football coach succeed if his work had to satisfy all the regents and board members and most of those who buy stadium tickets as well? How could there be department loyalty under conditions where the director was not boss? How could responsibility be properly gauged? • • • Unless Nebraskans settle down from this Jones feud and plank their feet quarely on tried athletic ground, a lasting setback can result for the state’s football reputation. Under circumstances presented to Colonel Jones, the state will not get the caliber of men it wants and has a right to expect. No man big enough to be director will be obtained who will cow- tail to the O street perennial sophomores who want to name the coach and keep their thumb on him. No coach measuring up to Nebraska standards would accept the Job under such conditions. • • • The situation calls for sound thinking and no little sacrifice of personal prestige on the part of those who, either real or fancied, are interested in a workable athletic program at Lincoln.
