as students attempted to head off a' possible naming of an
"unknown" ,to the head football coaching positiOn, still vacant.
, • The white tags, worn on coat 'Lapels and dangling from
buttons, were in evidence everywhere showing students were
putting their weight behind an
attempt to influence athletic
officials in favor of a "name"
coach.
Skull and Mines, senior hat so
ciety, planned to send letters to
alumni associations throughout
the nation asking alumni to sup
port the drive.

head football coach since Joseph

nounced three• weeks ago atter
just one year at the helm: The
Athletic Advisory Board has not
yet named anyone to' succeed him.

The Daily Collegian advocated
in a front-page editorial recently
that the board secure a coach who
would attract football players to
the College. The. editorial said
that a. $6,000-to-$B,OOO coach
would not help State football, and
suggested that th e Advisory
Board seek a well-known coach
and pay him more Money.
MemberS of Skull and Bones
last night urged students to pick
up tags and wear them all week
"if they are at all interested in
the College's securing the best
football coach, and if they do
not want /the College to retro
gress on the gridiron."

Talk at College Among
First on National Tour
The nation's most authoritative critic of the government's
Navy policy, Adm. LoUis E. Denfeld, will speak in Schwab.
auditorium at 8 p.m. tomorrow.
Denfeld's talk at the College on "What Is Your Navy
Worth Now," is one of the first stops in a coast to coast tour
which he has arranged for
ouster as Chief of Naval Oper
ations, Denfeld retired earlier
this month rather than accept
another Navy post. He was
relieved by Adm. Forrest T.
Sherman.
His blunt testimony before' the
House Armed Services Commit
tee last October in which he ac
cused the Army and Air Force of
trying to whittle down Navy
strength is generally believed to
have led to his replacement.
He has continued criticism of
the government's conduct of na
val affairs in a series of three
articles in Collier's, entitled "Why
I Was Fired." In these he said
the Air Force wanted to acquire
all combat naval aviation and the
Army all amphibious .functions
of the IVlarine Corps.
Criticising Defense Secretary
Louise Johnson's decision to halt
construction of a super aircraft
carrier, Denfeld said:
"There was no authority to halt
the building of a weapon decreed
by experts to be necessary and
authorized by. Congress."
He said that the money for the
ship had been "saved by the Navy
through voluntary halting of work
on ships nearing completion."
Denfeld's talk is the third in
the Community Forum series.
Season ticket holders will use
stuh "D" marked for Dr. Ira DeA.
Reid. Dr. Reid spoke at the Col
lege last month in place of Sena
tor Styles Bridges, ' who was
