I Everything Is Simply 'Gland' Feathers who apparently learned of the action soon after it was made public said: "I know the people I'm working for will treat me right" As head coach Feathers makes about $8000 a year He will remain as head coach until his successor is named Dr Fisher said a three-man cornmittee was named to report on possible new coaches by the end of December and earlier if possible A report immediately circulated that (Peahead) Walker former Wake Forest coach and now an assistant at Yale will be named to succeed Feathers A member of the three-member committee Dean Malcolm Campbell of the college's school of textiles said "I've heard the report but as far as I know Walker has not been discussed for the job" Dr Fisher said the status of State's assistant coaching staff will be left to a new head coach with the approval of the college athletic cc uncil He said the vote on firing Feathers was taken Saturday night The announcement was withheld in an attempt to notify Feathers who was in Charlotte attending the Shrine Bowl football game Feath Tar Heels Hit Century Mark Over Furman his place as head coach The poll answers were publish The three-man screening

remain as head football coach at the University of North Carolina in 1952 This was revealed at a Durham Tar Heel club banquet here tonight honoring the football squad and the Carolina coaching staff Carmichael comptroller of the Consolidated University of North Carolina was the principal speaker In the course of his talk he said "I have been notified by Chancellor House that there will be no change in the duties of Coach Snavely next year" While Carmichael didn't elaborate it was obvious that his remarks amounted to a vote of confidence for Snavely Although Snavely was present at the meeting he wasn't called upon to make a talk The audience greeted Carmichael's state ment with a round of applause Reports have been circulating for weeks that alumni pressure would force Snavely out
