OKLAHOMA AGGIES TO HAVE 12 BULLS, NO GRID COACH?

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

NORMAN, Okla.--Dissatisfaction with the status of football at Oklahoma Aggies college broke out anew here as Joe Scott, president of the state board of agriculture, proposed that 12 prize bulls be bought rather than replace Ted Cox, who resigned as head football coach.

"I believe more good would be done for the state as a whole and for the college if the money used in hiring football coaches were used to improve the state's livestock," declared Scott. "We ought to be able to buy a dozen dandy bulls for the cost of our coaching staff."

Scott went on to assert that he believed less than 50 of the Oklahoma Aggies would drop out of college if football ceased to exist there. As a final suggestion he mentioned that a roof could be built over the stadium to make "a fine livestock pavilion."
