Gustavson and Members of the Athletic Board University of Nebraska Lincoln, Nebraska Gentlemen: Circumstances beyond my con trol and yours make it seem ad visable to me, after very careful deliberation that I submit my res ignation, effective March 1, 1948, as Head Football Coach of the University of Nebraska. I take this step with but one thought in mind the welfare of my Alma Mater. In taking regretful departure of the faculty of the University of Nebraska, I can look back on my BERNIE MASTERSON. two years here with sincere ap preciation for the many kindnesses received from Chancellor Gustav son, the Athletic Board, my staff and associates, the young men with whom I have been privileged to work, and the very many friends who have been so stalwart in their helpfulness. Sincerely yours, (signed) Bernie Masterson. Board Replies. "The Board of Intercollegiate Athletics announces that it has accepted the resignation of Bernie Masterson as head football coach. We wish further to say that this resignation was voluntary sinca Mr. Masterson felt that it would be impossible for him to carry on under present conditions." The following statement was is sued Monday night by Chancellor R. G. Gustavson: "It is a matter of deep personal regret to me that Bernie Master son has resigned as head coach at the University of Nebraska. Speak ing as an individual, charged with the direction of the University, I cannot refrain from pointing out to the citizens of Nebraska that this is an instance which should have a very real meaning for them. Bernle's Sincerity. "Any fair minded individual will recognize that there is an area for difference of opinion as to the effectiveness, or ineffectiveness, of Bernie Masterson as football coach. But certainly no one can question his sincerity in attempt ing to develop a successful foot ball program by accepting tha principle of strict amateurism, re fusing to play injured squad mem bers and in other ways winning the respect of players. "The University of Nebraska hired Masterson as its football coach. It was aware, or should have been, of his qualifications for the job. It gave him a five year contract. As Chancellor, I have insisted that the University should resist every effort to force the University to abrogate its word. "The real principle involved here goes past the football scene. I regret that Masterson has re signed because of pressure from a segment of public opinion which by no stretch of the imagination was unanimous over the state. I hope that a situation of this kin4 will never occur again."
