And Jimmy, himself, gulped a bit when he poured out the words that closed his eight-year coaching career with the Bears. Hilltop Grads Divided Over School's Future Athletic Policy Move to Get Dr. Sutherland to Be Resumed.

BY W. VERNON TIETJEN. Washington University's alumni supporters, most of whom are badly confused over the swift turn of events which brought about the definite resignation of Coach Jim Conzelman, were split into two camps today, and a final untanglrment of the school's muddled athletic situation seemed unlikely at least for several days. A group of several hundred warm supporters had packed the Hotel dining room yesterday to await the result of the coaching controversy at the Hilltop. Conzelman had re signed the Job last Saturday under pressure from a certain source, everyone knew and a showdown meeting on Jim's status had been arranged by members of the Alumni Association.

Conzelman finally quieted the gathering with a wave of his right arm. He came forth with a sheet of paper and said "it was the first time he would read a vrevared talk." Everyone waited for Conzelman they were positive they would cheer Jim Conzelman, his face strained with emotion, making his farewell speech before a general alumni meeting yesterday at the American Hotel. In a prepared statement, Conzelman definitely resigned his head coaching job by announcing he would not withdraw the resignation he submitted last Saturday. (Star-Times Photo.) Bank Wants to Sell White Sox, Comiskey Heirs to Protest Move future." "Downtowners' Objections. In the background of the case, meanwhile, were many factors.

It Is known that the downtown group had objected to Conzeiman's coaching efforts the past year or more. and that this feeling reached a peak when the Bears lost their opening two games last fall to Maryville Teachers and Washburn College. At that time, one reliable source reported, a representative of the downtown group was sent out to the Washington campus to make a sur vey of student opinion on Conzel man coaching abilities. This group contended that Con zelman did not go through his coaching chores with proper thor oughness, and objected strongly to the outside Interests such as writ ing, radio work and speechmaking in wnicn conzelman engaged at various times. Another strong com plaint by this group was that gate receipts during Conzeiman's eight- year regime had not shown an in crease over the previous eight years.

Conzeiman's answer to these complaints has been that his record, showing forty victories and thirty-four defeats over an eight-year pe riod, was creditable in view of existing conditions. "I feel there is nothing particularly exciting about the record from the won and lost standpoint," Jim said. "But seventeen of those defeats came at the hands of such teams as Notre Dame. Illinois. Southern Methodist and others of that type.

"It's hard to tell what is wanted. One group will squawk when you play good teams and get beat, and you may be criticized for playing a suicide schedule. But when you play easier opponents and win you're criticized, too." Conzelman feels that the Issue has now been settled, however, and suggested that all "should pun together" In the best Interests of the university.

the entire assembly was very pro-Conzelman. They had known Jim through all these years as the fellow with the friendly handshake, a kind word for every boy who had enrolled at Washington University, and they were not thinking about the grid games that had been lost out at Francis Field. This was the time when they should rally to the coach. Jim was In nred of friends, too, because he had been told that he was no longer wanted as coach at Washington University: SiJence prevailed as Conzelman announced he was ready to deliver his statement. No one budged.

-My resignation was announced last Saturday after It had been requested," said Jimmy, reading from the paper. SECONDS SEEMED LIKE HOURS TO THE BOYS AT THE TA-blts. They were waiting for Jim to ehout: "But, my friends. I have decided to reconsider my resignation. I will not quit.

I'm going to remain your roach at Washington University. Conzeiman's supporters opened their ears when Jim continued: "In the meanwhile I have been asked to reconsider. To make a decl-ilcn one way or the other Is a problem." The diners were becoming fidgety at this point. They couldn't understand that the coach should run around so many corners before he reached his definite Conzelman read slowly. The fourth paragraph, the fifth paragraph, and subsequent paragraphs failed to deliver the Important message.

Finally. Jim came forth with the headline news. He said: "So in an effort to bring together these factions and to organize united alumni spirit in furtherance of Washington University football interests. I feel that it is better for me not to wtthclraw my resignation." A pall of gloom hit the diners. Jimmy Conzelman had closed his coaching career at Washington University.

He had Just said: "I feel that it is better for me not to withdraw my resignation." FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS UNCERTAIN. It was several minutes before Conzeiman's admirers had realized the true facts In his address. "What did Jim sav?" inquired a front row occupant. -Didn't you get It? Didn't you get it?" flashed a neighbor. -Why Jim ain't going to withdraw his resignation.

That means that he has quit." Others were called upon to interpret Jimmy's remarks. Arguments followed. Conzelman supporters wanted to know the names of the men who were hiding behind the scene some place. Conzelman departed amid this turmoil. He was not going to be a party to a free-for-all.

He reached for his hat and coat and he was on his way. THERE'S ANOTHER INSIDE STORY TO CONZELMANS OFFI-cial resignation. Chancellor Throop had something to say on the subject. He conferred with Conzelman and Dr. Ewerhardt at Washington University yesterday morning and caused Jimmy to change his mind about not addressing the Alumni Association group.

Chancellor Throop dictated a letter during his meeting with Conzelman and Dr. Ewerhardt, a message that was also read at the luncheon. At the chancellor's suggestion, Conselman consented to become a member of the university's athletic council. Conzelman has moved over to a new department at Washington University. How long Jim will fill that office remains to be seen.

To Jim's loyal friends, however, he will be "Coach Conzelman." i Si. estate and Illinois Inheritance taxes. Comiskey holdings in the club comprise all but fifty shares, owned by Harry Grabiner, White Sox secretary. Provisions of Will. Comiskey, in his will, said that it was his opinion that the bank should not sell the club before his youngest surviving child was 35.

but that should circumstances arise which would make the sale prudent before that time the trustee would have such authority. Comihkey's youngest child is his son, Charles II, 13. Under the terms of the will, the bank was to operate the club for eight years provided the stock had not been sold. John C. Meachem of the bank said, when Comiskcy's will was filed for probate, that no change in the management or policy of the club was contemplated.

Sale of the controlling interest would be subject to the approval of the American League, of which the club is a member.

(U. Permission to sell the Chicago White Sox baseball club as "a valuable, although hazardous business," was asked in probate court today by the trustee for the estate of the late J. Louis Comiskey. The widow and children of Comiskey, whose father founded the club in 1900, protested the sale. Probate Jude John F.

O'Connell granted counsel for the family thirty days In which to file formal objections on the ground thnt it was contrary to wishes Comiskey expressed in his will. Bank Named Trustee. Comiskey died July 18. 1939, leaving his estate In trust for Mrs. Grace Rridy Comiskey and their three children.

Mrs. Comiskey received half of the estate and the other half was divided among the children. The First Nationnl Bank of Chicago was named trustee. The petition in probate court said the estate was comprised principally of 7.450 shares of stock in the White Sox. which have a par value of $100 each, real estate and mortgages and bonds secured by real estate.

The petition pointed out that Co-mlskey's real estate holdings were slow and difficult to liquidate even In sufficient degree to pay federal On one side was the "anti-Con- zclman bloc," or "downtown group." a small but powerful group whose efforts to give Washington a new deal in athletics resulted in the firing of Conzelman. On the other side were those strongly opposed to the removal of the popular coach who yesterday told a gathering of 250 nlumni at the American Hotel that he had decided not to withdraw his earlier resignation, which he revealed "had been re quested." Dr. Sutherland. Although the former group, not represented at yesterday's meeting, apparently had won its point when Conzelman announced his decision in a prepared statement drawn up after a morning conference with Chancellor George R. Throop and Dr.

Frank H. Ewerhardt, chairman of the faculty athletic committee, many members of the pro-Conzcl-man faction expressed open dissatisfaction with the manner In which the situation was handled. As a result, a committee of eirht alumni and two students was being lormea today to probe the entire ease. This committee, to be appointed by Fred Armstrong, president of the alumni association, within 'Jie next forty-eight hours, will carry on its investigation and report back to a subsequent general alumni meeting. The function of this ptoud will be to determine whether or not Conzelman was treated unfairly and to render general assistance the university In the whole matter." Armstrong said.

"I would say at least a portion of the alumni still hopes to regain the services of Conzelman as coach." Broader Athletic Policy. Another Issue at stake, moreover. seemed to be broader one of general school athletic policy. "There are two opposite feelings on this matter," one alumnus explained. "One group seems to be Interested in bringing the Fltts- burgh-Southern California type of athletics to Washington.

Another group of us doesn't want it that way. What will be the outcome nobody knows." Barring unforeseen developments. however, it seemed certain that tha new setup paved the way for the hiring of a "big name" coach. Plans of the antl-Conzclman group to procure Dr. John B.

(Jork) Sutherland, former Pittsburgh Univer sity coach, were called off pending a settlement of Conzeiman's status, but will be renewed at once. Suth erland, originally due here Tuesday for a conference with Chancellor Throop and certain alumni, has stated that he Is "definitely Interested" in the coaching position on the Hilltop. Jim May Name Successor. A strange twist in tills connec tion, moreover, is the fact tiat Con zelman himself. In his new connection with the university as a mem ber of the athletic council, will have hand in naming a new man for the post from which he himself was fired.

Although the exact place Conzel man is to have In the athletic department atWashington has not been entirely settled, he Is to be a member of a special committee which he and Dr. Ewerhardt will name to consider a new coach. Dr. Ewerhardt said last night that numerous letters of application had been received, but that he had rot looked at the names and had put them aside for future consideration by the committee. In the midst of plans to land a new coach, meanwhile, a vast majority of the school's alumni supporters were still indign ntly demanding an answer to the question, "Who Fired Conzelman?" Efforts by alumni to find a direct answer at yesterday's meeting failed.

Conzelman himself, interviewed last night, preferred not to become further involved in what Tias devel oped into a delicate situation. "I don't want to be quoted on any more controversial issues, be de dared. Asked If any member of the "downtown group" had approached him directly, he replied that they had not. Other than his place on the athletic council, looked upon by many as a more or less honorary post of fered as an appeasement, Conzel man's position in school athletics Is not clear. He is to help in sports publicity, according to Chancellor Throop's letter, but Conzelman said this phase had not been worked out In detail.

Coach's Pay to Continue. Conzelman meanwhile will continue to draw pay on the head coaching basis until June. The athletic council post Is not salaried, but Dr. Ewerhardt said provisions in the future for "some pay" to Conzelman In his new connection might be made in the event Jim maintains a connection with the university. Conzelman told the Star-Times that his current plans for the future "do not include coaching." He denied reports that certain St.

Louis University alumni already had contacted him in regard to the vacated post there. He added that his present plans call for him to start his six months' radio contract February 1, and that he would also give more time to a public relations position he holds with a local trucking- concern. If a suitable coaching Job should come up at a later time when I need a Job, I would take it," Jim said. A had known which way the wind Conzclinan had resigned, and there remained as. far as they were con great interest.
