Fisheries & Far East. Odegaard moved to Washington from his post as dean of the University of Michigan's College of Literature, Science and the Arts*-and into a mess. A scandal over a private slush fund to entice top athletes to Seattle had got Washington's all-too-famous football team kicked out of the Pacific Coast Conference. A loyalty-oath requirement imposed by the legislature was demoralizing the teachers and scaring off bright recruits to the faculty; such was the state of timidity that Physicist J.

But there were hints of a rebellion brewing in the ranks. San Francisco's John Brodie insisted that "any regular is silly if he doesn't demand more than some rookie behind him is getting." Quarterback Frank Ryan, who led the Cleveland Browns to the N.F.L. title, was already bucking for a raise-of "about $980,000." Said Ryan: "If a fellow who hasn't even pulled...
