McLaughry "Quits" Dartmouth Position

HANOVER, N.H., Dec. 5--Although the Dartmouth Athletic Council insists that DeOrmand "Tuss" McLaughry has resigned as head football coach here, strong rumors persist that the Dartmouth coach has been forced to leave because of the team's poor showing this season.

The nationally-known coach has been the Green's chief since 1941, but has had two of his worst seasons this year and last. His record this season was 3-6, and last year, 2-7. Alumni this year have been indignant at the team's poor showing, especially since the Green's quarterback, Bill Beagle, has been one of the best in the East.
