TEN THE LINCOLN STAR-THU RSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1937 TEXANS STRIVE ENTICE BIBLE Husker Coach Admits Austin On His Trail Longhorns Dangle Fat Salary Bid; Plans Go South For Conference. By GREGG McBRIDE. TNIVERSITY of Nebraska sports followers were uneasy Thursday. Reports carried on the press wires from Austin indicate that the University of Texas is prepared to the limit" in its efforts to attract to its athletic staff Dana X. Bible, Comhusker athletic director and head football coach.

The news from Austin relates that the Longhorns are prepared to offer Bible a five-year contract find a $25,000 budget for a coaching staff, but the word going the roundft in Lincoln circles is that the Texas proposal is considerably over this flattering figure. Admits Interested. Meantime for the first time the Nebraska coach, in a formal statement, hints of a personal interest the Texas situation. Flatly declaring he has made no proposals to Texas, Bible says: have gone out from time to time since Coach Chevigny resignation, but to date there have been no commitments so far as concerns myself and there will be none until a conference at Austin, at which time the reaction of certain groups can be Bible again declared Thursday that he is happy at Nebraska and the only factor that might cause him to change would be a financial offer with so wide a margin he could not in reason refuse. Conditions Must Satisfy.

Even in those conditions, he said, he must first satisfy himself the Texas athletic situation would be in line with his policies and ethical standards while at the University of Nebraska. It is understood a conference at Austin has been arranged for within the next few days. Bible probably will attend that meeting. Press dispatches from Austin quote Dr. J.

COLLEGE KESULTS Amateur Athletic (Secretary-Treasurer, Union.) NEW YORK, Jan. Man's ultimate in sport, espe- land dally in track and field where marks are measurable, still remains a matter of conjecture. The magnificent accomplishments of the past year, where records were toppled with astonishing frequency, demonstrated that the perfection of technique and other factors still bring forth incredible performances. Although the same razor-edge keenness of interest which prevails in an Olympic year cannot be expected in a post-Olympic year, there will be no relaxing insofar as the athletes are concerned during 1937, The improvement in the caliber of our athletes seems to be steady. New stars are developing in greater numbers today than in years gone by.

Mr. Thomas A. Yawkey, who wben a doctor in Milwaukee ex By PAT ROBINSON. EW YORK, Jan. Ever hear of an abnor- mally low pulse helping a fighter win a title? Sounds silly, doesn't it? And I yet, to such a pulse Fred Steele, Tacoma terror, today attributes a large part of his success in winning the middleweight title.

His Pulse Count 44. it or not, my pulse is normally only 44 and the average pulse is between 70 and 75. EADER of this column, signing as ''Quizzical," uses mail to propound the following: "I have noted from time to time that you haven't a very high regard for professional football, its methods and purposes. This I would like to know: Do you not honestly believe there is a place for the professional game in the general scheme of American sports?" A question asked so candidly, merits a candid response.

And that response is: I verily believe the American publia could very well get along without the National Professional Football league or any other organization of its kind. College football, first in the field and undoubtedly first the affections of the sports-loving public, needs no echo at the hands of the pros. The cry often raised that the college game has been "commercialized" is almost too inane to justify discussion. Its premise is unsound because college managements everywhere make good use of the income derived from football by meeting the necessary expenses incurred In maintaining a general athletic program.

Officials have never denied he was under consideration. Sources close to the board and council have consistently named the successful Nebraska mentor as top man for the job. These sources also said he would be hired at one of the highest salaries ever paid a coach anywhere in the nation and his proposition called for a staggering salary appropriation for assistants, plus a five to 10-year contract.

Fighter At Fifteen.

He began fighting in his fifteenth year when he was in the seventh grade in school and fought his first main event when he was still a sophomore in high school. He has had 123 fights, including two knockouts over Cercfino Garcia, and it is boast that he never has been on the floor. He has earned $150,000 and expects to have at least $250,000 in annuities before he retires within the next three or four years. After that, he intends to take life easy, largely in the company of Bing Crosby, his pal, who also has a share in his earnings. Freddy hits equally hard with either hand and since he has broken the jaws of three opponents, he says he thinks he knows something about hitting.

Tg date, that profit has been more or less slow in showing its head, but the idea still is promoters of the pro leagues rrrg spurred by the hope that they may make capital of the popularity of the game in college circles, to the end that the dollars tually may pour into professional fills. The claim frequently uttered In pro circles that its backers have a friendly feeling" for the college game is a sorry ture of false pretense and bluff. If the professional leaguers could have their way, football in time would be reduced to an innocuous state similar to the present plight of amateur basebaH, which is being slowly strangled in the land where the diamond sport had its birth. In short, the chief aim and secret wish of the National Professional Football league is that eventually it may establish itself as a sort of Colossus, dominating football quite as the two major leagues have succeeded doing in baseball.

UT this statement of incontrovertible truths only scratches the surface of the college vs. pro debate. One of the soundest reasons of the many that I might present in justifying my opposition to professional football involves the deadening influence the pro game has on the players comprising its teams The average collegiate star, just concluding his gridiron career, is easily enticed by the glittering promise of fancy salaries paid by the pro league promoters. To join hands wilh the pros apparently presents the opportunity to stow away a snug portion of the player's earnings, after which, with all good intentions, the player aims to rub himself out of the professional picture and take to the vocation he previously had planned during his campus years. Unfortunately, the "easy money" seems to act as a form of narcotic.

The player forgets his good intentions, lingers too long in the professional rut and when he tumbles to the mess he has made of himself and the business or professional career he had schemed when in college, he finds that the parade ha3 passed him by. vili be complete Busboom 0 0 Etcher, 1 Eicher, 2 H.

The meeting, with President J. Carter, Norfolk, presiding, will continue until late in the afternoon. Representatives of the four present members, Mitchell, Sioux Falls, Beatrice and Norfolk, were present. A representative of the St, Louis Cardinals also is expected to be here. As yet the Cards have no farm in this circuit for 1937, but are ready to back Joe McDermott, former Norfolk manager, should he operate a club.

McDermott announced last week I he was ready to put a team in the league, provided a sixth member could be found. a touted Aggie offense, winning, 30 to 24.

Aggies went three extra periods to defeat McCook in basketball Tuesday night. Curtis led, 17-12. at thp half. The score was 24-24 at the end of the regular playing time, 26-26 at the end of the first extra period and 28-28 at the close of the second added session. Keating, Floro and Hudson scored for Curtis in the third overtime period Amateur Basketball.

ND the average exponent of the professional game, strange as it seems, seldom is content with his lot. He realizes the mistake he has made and dreams of the day that he can retrace his steps, possibly to return to his first the capacity of coach. As a matter of fact, the ambition of most of the players on the team rosters of the pro league is to get back to the place where they started the good, old college campus. As an illustration of how this desire works out in real life, I cite the case of Earl "Dutch" Clark, quarterback of National Pro league champions, the Detroit Lions, and recently named to coach that aggregation next fall. Clark was an All-American his final year in college, later proving that his honors were justly bestowed when he gained recognition as the "most valuable player" in pro circles.

In terviewed a few days ago at Los Angeles by Clyde E. McBride, Kansas City scrivener now vacationing on the west coast, Clark spoke most significantly in declaring he "would like to get into college coaching, preferring to start as an assistant rather than as head coach; he wants to work his way up, get the feel and the touch of coaching before swinging into the head man's job." And right there, Mr. Quizzical, is the nub of the college- pro discussion. The "most valuable player" in the National Professional Football league is unhappy; his dearest wish to have done with the pro racket, wipe it all out and make a fresh a college coach!
