Crisler-will step down from the post he has held with domination since 1941. In those 18 hectic years, the man has made many friends but also has aggravated many others. He has channeled Michigan Stadium receipts into some worthy University projects, but has left vast poten- tial fall to the wayside. Mr. Crisler had a wonderful record as a coach-a record based on brilliant tactical sense acquired over many years at Chicago; Prince- ton and Michigan. He was a progressive man in coaching; he is still sometimes a progressive man in the athletic directorship of football. But football is only part of the athletic scene of a great university like Michigan. And even Michigan's football position has been as- sumed by cross-state rival Michigan State- which, ironically, is taking quite a bit of Michigan'sall-sport domination away because of the progressive attitude of Mr. Crisler's old line coach, Biggie Munn. (Biggie, incidentally, is as proud a man as Mr. Crisler. But he can sit down and listen to others, as well as explain, about his athletic plant. This is knowledge acquired by the writer in his contacts with both men over the past few years.), As for football, Michigan State has taken over dominance in the state by public relationing Michigan into submission. Half of this particular difference is Biggie's eagerness to build good relations; the other half is the marked coldness that Mr. Crisler projects to people. The cold attitude of Mr. Crisler has defeated Michigan especially in the metropolitan press of the state and also in outstate circles. He will not even give his campus newspaper-a paper that has faithfully been behind Michigan athletics in their most critical moniments-a friendly look. The athletic department plays favorites with certain newspapers after Mr. Crisler squabbles with their chosen few opponents. Mr. Crisler probably will make any announcement about the Commis- sioner's position with a certain newsman he has singled out, according to very reliable sources. A Thing Called Progress, WORST YET, Mr. Crisler has no warm relations with the most im- portant figures in college athletics-the athletes themselves. Many of them jokingly refer to Mr. Crisler as "God." Yes, Biggie has been talled God, too, by East Lansing folks. But Biggie has given his followers rain when they asked for it. Mr. Crisler could, too, but doesn't. He has the greatest assets in the college athletic world to produce with: 1) Over 100,000 alumni, most of them who are quite interested in both athletic and University affairs. 2) A 101,001-seat stadium, which was built by this alumni in- terest-and not, contrary to some schools of thought, by Mr. Crisler. With Michigan's tradition, ay athletic director could fill Michigan Stadium. 3) An interested student body. This latter has been getting the worst treatment by the athletic director's staid policies. Students are treated to: the grimy condition of Yost Field House when they want to attend a basketball game. Walking into the building, they can see soiled 1905 footballs in musty, dimly-lit "show cases." There is no halftime show-an obvious lack of planning, even though the student body could come up *ith some of the country's best talent if there was a progressive man requesting it. Paint is un- heard of and the rest rooms are unclean. Schedules at Michigan sare miserably conflicting for those who like.-more than one sport. Mr. Crisler is rarely seen at any sporting event other than foot- ball, television basketball, baseball (which he once played proficiently), or an occasional guest appearance at the attractive Varsity Swim Pool. Along with the failure to develop Michigan's vast potential, the Crisler Myth of purity can be exploited. When he needs a fast back to fill spacious Michigan Stadium, he does not disregard one who has a 1.7 average. He also puts his foot dowi when there is a possibility of a non- athletic member getting a position on the Board in Control of Inter- collegiate Athletics. Most of the student members have little say and the Board holds many meetings on Friday nights when football play- ers are not allowed to attend because of training rules. Mr. Crisler has been a strong opponent of allowing pro football to use college facilities. The Detroit Lions were denied permission a couple of years back. But aren't the Detroit Red Wings, who play against Michigan's hockey team here, just as professional? Sometimes history is judged by what a man did. But a waste of potential should also be recognized at an institution where progress is cherished . . . especially when others (i.e., MSU) of less potential begin to pass you up in many areas. Ex-'M' Coach Set To Leave (Continued from Page 1) Michigan athletic names have al- ready been mentioned as likely candidates once the post is va- cant. Heading the list is Bennie Oos- terbaan, present assistant athletic director and head football coach from 1948-58. One newspaper stated yester- NFL Planning For Expansion CHICAGO (P) -- Plans for ex- panding the National Football League were announced yesterday by George Halas, but several of- ficials implied he just was having growing pains. Halas, owner-coach of the Chi- cago Bears and chairman of the Expansion Committee, said plans call for enlarging the 40-yr.-old league from 12 to 14 teams in 1960. He said the decision was based, on a poll of club owners, who also favored considering ex- pansion to 16 teams in 1961 or 1962. We are pleased to have MR. MAPLES with our staff of fine barbers. He is specializing in crew cuts and is one of Michi- gan's best. TRY HIM! 715 North University day that Oosterbaan had oncet said he would not be interested in t the position. But Oosterbaan said last night that he "certainly would consider it"' if it was ever offered to him.E He is the only prospective candi- date that is still active in the ath- letic departnent.c Harry Kipke, the coach whom Crisler replaced in 1938, is also- mentioned as being in line for the i job. However, it would be difficulti to understand why he would ac- cept. Gets Large Salary He now commands a salary as, an executive with a Chicago soft drink firm that nearly Uiples what he would earn as athletic director. Another name that has been' prematurely tossed into the hop- per is that of Doug Roby, Sr., vice-, president of the American Olym- pic Committee, and a former teammate and roommate of Kip- ke's. Roby Lives Near Roby currently lives just outside Ann Arbor and is an executive with 'the American Metal Corpor- ation. Ivy Williamson, present athletic director at Wisconsin and who spent his student days at Michi- gan, is still another possibility, several insiders have said. HAS YOUR. BIKE HAD A FALL.
