NO Will 'Potsy's' Resignation Solve Rushers' Problems? 4 By GEORGE PAYNICH Sports Editor What surprised me most of 11 about the resignation of "Potsy" Clark as Athletic Di rector as Nebraska, was not the fact that he resigned, for powerful critics had labeled 'Potsy" for extermination some time ago. The amusing thing to me was now "surprised every one was by the action! Clark stated he would not make an "issue" of his resig nation, why not? Many people believe as I v do that while "Potsy" may not have been the most in denenden t athletic dlrec t o r around, he surely seems to be ; M t the "fall guy" In this setup. The big Is sue has been Courtesy Lincoln Journal and will be Paynlch . NU Football. We personally don't believe therefore that the people of this state were as dis gusted with other phases of the athletic program as some of their letters to editors indicated. Already sports editors and Itportswriters In the state are vowing iii aiLvii man bu take over the helm of the ath letic department. Please don't make him too strong! Ball players need more than tough men around. After all they could use a little understanding now and then. Speaking from personal ex perience as a Nebraska football f ilayer, I would say the most important thing for the Nebraska athletic department to better the situation here is for the de partment to start taking better x care or tneir athletes once tney are here. We're not advising giving , more to the nlavers. hut rather to continue to give them what has been promised. Too many Jobs have been taken from piayers wno nave counted on them and In general too many promises have been "forgotten about" to make any player at u nappy ror long. I personally haven't been hit by such tac tics, out I know boys who have, Why not try to make the ball player happy? If the boys aren't happy the word gets around via the grape-vine and before you know it the preps are in on it also. This fall with the material they had all season, the Huskers could never be world-beaters, but there are many boys who could have at least added to team speed who left Nebraska for other schools. Why did they go? Not all of them left simply because they couldn't mak" the team, most left because they couldn't take what was being handed out mostlv verballv. Petty things like this shouldn't be a part of anv athletic program. They say you have to be tough to play the game . Be lleve me, there are things a lot tougher thsn physical contact Anv ex-soldier who has had the experience of some toufh serg eant continuallv heckling him has experienced it. Looking back we see that Preacher Franklin, Ralph Fife, Neal Mehring and Pete Janetos were members of the coaching staff of the winnintrest team in post-war years and the resigned also. . Strange isn't it? As long as Mr. Clark has de elded to make no issue on thi sublect we will never know the Inside story. We can onlv sit back and ask "who's next?" It is also our belief that Ne braska had better stoo that wild-goose chase for a winning football team with present tac tics . Gee mavbe I shouldn't sav that, for Clark went by the rules didn't he? And isn't he gone now? Could be Nebraska will be on Its way back to the grid power list now. Maybe "Potsy" was the guy holding us back, what do you think? liiBiiiim.iriiiiiin Hn umimitwi.i ri.in-.ini. nA 1 1 i wiir r t 'Tr Tirm m i ii Clark's Successor? With the resignation of George "Potsy" Clark as athletic director at Nebraska, specula tion is high on his successor. The name of present Head Football Coach Bill Glassford has been mentioned by some sportswriters as a likely can didate for the post. Glassford left Lincoln Thursday for coaching duties in the Blue Gray game. (Nebraskan Photo.) A! m.
