Yesterday's 40-word statement from the Corporation announcing Lloyd Jordan's dismissal as football coach probably received, both before and after the fact, more publicity, than any administrative decision in recent years. Its subject was of popular interest, because all Americans love football; but the outcry it raised was multiplied many more times over by understandable confusion in the public mind over just what sort of football the Crimson wants to play. Before a new coach accepts Jordan's position, he will want to know the rules of the game here; so do we fans...
General Wheeler put his team together in an atmosphere of popular confusion and political outcry that sorely tested even his engineer's vocational optimism. The British had taken exception to his statements that as a U.N. official he was only Nasser's guest in Egypt, and had accused him of letting the Egyptians delay the clearance job.

In the past, coaches have come from the outside...

A onetime ironmonger, Walton wrote not for money but for pleasure, hoped each reader would share that pleasure and "that (if he be an honest Angler) the East wind may never blow when he goes a Fishing." But from Princeton University last week an ill wind did blow, setting many an honest angler to wondering whether their gentle idol...
