Reports also indicate the Dallas A&M club might have similar feel ings about George. With the comparative security oI a two or three year contract, George might consider accepting if an actual offer is made to him. But. if he does, he certainly must ha ve the hide of a rhinoceros. It must be extremely tiresome to George to be bounced around like a ping pong ball with all this on-again, off-again talk. With the athletic council schedul ed to meet Thursday, it is possible the new head coach may be named at that time. However, W. L Penbertliy, council chairman, said yesterday the group will not make a. final selection at the conference, but that they would only discuss the various head coach prospects. Candidate mentioned most often thus far is J. V. (Siki) Sikes, who resigned as head football coach at Kansas Univei’sity in December after a poor season. Others confirmed as having been interviewed for the post are H. N. (Rusty) Russell of Schreiner In stitute; Jim Tatum of Maryland; and Earl (Red) Blaik of Army. Russell, head coach at SMU in 1952, is also being considered for the Kansas job vacated by Sikes. Neither Tatum nor Blaik seem to be interested in the chance to come to A&M, and for very good reasons. Tatum is riding, high,at Mary land, where his team last season finished number one in the nation on the Associated Press raking list.

Others unofficially mentioned in the race for the Aggie coaching position have been Dick Todd and Milburn (Catfish) Smith, and both can be considered top candidates. Todd, currently on the staff at SML T , is popular among Aggie fol lowers and for a time was coach of the Washington Redskins pro fessional football team. He was a grid star for the Aggies in the middle thirties, and should be a capable head coach. ■ (See COACHES, Page 4) FUR STORAGE HATTERS 210 S.
