(Red) Sanders, nationally known mentor of the single wing UCLA Bruins, arrived at A&M late yester day evening to talk over the coaching vacancy left by Paul “Bear” Bryant with officials of A&M. Sanders stepped into the spotlight as Bryant’s successor when Dan Devine, coach at Arizona State, asked officials of A&M Tuesday night to withdraw his name from consider ation as the possible new coach. Grid master Sanders said, on being asked his reason for being interested in the coaching job at A&M, “The fact they are interested in me is one reason Pm here.” In his sixth year of a 10 year contract that reportedly calls for a salary of $18,000 a+- year, Sanders is a well liked figure on the Bruin Campus. A student group at UCLA has begun circulating a petition urging the school’s chancellor and board to give him a new contract. Asked whether he thought Ag gie fans would go for his single wing type of game, he said: “The fans will go for any system that gives them more points than the opponent.” Sanders, speaking informally to the press last night, gave the im pression of being a good public re lations man. His hair, incidently, is not red, but black, now becoming rather streaked with gray. The nickname came from his wearing a red sweater to practice at Van derbilt. A successful coach, he said, “Money is not a prime consider ation in my accepting a coaching job.” Later on, in the meeting with the press, Sanders added to that statement when he said, “I wouldn’t coach where I didn’t think I could get real good foot ball players.” His wife, whose hair is a flam ing red, added a great deal of charm to the meeting. When the questions lagged she was quick to fill in the gaps with stories of their life at UCLA. Aggie trainer, Smokey Harper, ranks high in the Sanders opin ions. “Smokey himself is an at traction for coming to A&M. He’s a top trainer,” he said. During the past season, Sanders’ Bruins won eight out of ten games, even though seniors were allowed to play only five games, because of a ban slapped on them by the NCAA. He has coached at UCLA since 1949, going there dmect from Vanderbilt. Aggieland >3 ITS A RADIO! HEAREVER RADIO No Tubes ^ No Batteries % No Transistors No Electricity for $4.75 TOY HOUSE 409 N.

Harrington Puts Iowa’s Evashevski On Potential Aggie Coaching List DUBUQUE, Iowa—(A 5 )—The Dubuque Telegraph-Herald yester day quoted the president of A&M as saying Iowa Coach Forest Eva shevski was being considered for the head football coaching job there. “Evashevski’s name is one of several on a list of possibilities for the job,” President M. T. Har rington said. “I know definitely no firm offer has been made,” he added. Eva shevski said in Davenport yester day night “don’t count it out” when asked if he might take the Texas A&M post. He would nei ther confirm nor deny he had been contacted by officials of A&M. The newspaper quoted Harring ton as saying: “I do not believe, al though I cannot say for certain, whether Evashevski has been here.”- oRnb cl CITY NATIONAL BANK Bryan Member F. D. I. C.
