Penberthy, chairman of the council, in a press conference following the Jan. 23 meeting, stat ed that the council hopes to name a head coach from the interviews this week but if an agreement is not reached with any of the four, then a new list will be studied. The council has scheduled inter views with Johnny Vaught of Mis sissippi, J. V. Sikes of Kansas, Dick Todd, SMU assistant last fall and Mike Michalske, the current Aggie line coach.

Todd, also a former A&M star (1936-38), is a former player and head coac;h of the Washington Red skins professional team and was a part-time assistant at SMU last fall. He currently lives on a ranch at Crowell. He was an assistant coach at A&M in 1949. Michalske, a former head coach at Iowa State of the Big Seven, 1941-45, has been line coach at A&M one season, coming here from Baylor. An All-American guard at Penn State in 1927, Michalske was an all-pro guard at Green Bay during his tenure there from 1929 to 1937. The council also announced at the press conference Jan. 23 that spring practice would have to be postponed at least until Feb. 15. It has been originally set for Feb. 1. It was also pointed out by council members that the new coach will be given a free reign in the naming of his assistants. Two of George’s assistants—Backfield Coaches Dal ton Faircloth and Gil Steinke—re signed following the past season. Faircloth will become head coach at Greenville high school March 1 while Steinke is the new athletic director and head coach at Texas A&I, his alma mater.
