WALKER ACCEPTS
THREE-YE AR
GRID CONTRACT
Greason Is Named Baseball Men
tor; Stands Enlarged
(By W. Joynes MacFarlan) *
Wake Forest, Jan. 23. ? Presi
dent Thurman Kitchen ot Wake
Forest College said today that
D. C. (Feahead) Walker, head
football coach, had accepted a
new three-year contract.
Walker agreed to devote his
full time to college work and
give up managing baseball teams
In t/he summer. He got a pay
boost.
President Kltchin said that
Murray Greason, assistant foot
ball coach several years, would
become varsity baseball coach,
continue In charge of varsity
basketball, and assist in fresh
man football. Greason also will
give up managing baseball teams
in the summer.
Last summer Walker managed
the Snow Hill team of (the Coastal
Plain League and Greason a semi
pro team at Great Falls, S. C.
Walker accepted his new con
tract this morning in a letter to
President Kltchin. He had been
considering conditions laid down
by the executive committee and
t>he athletic council in the new
agreement offered him two weeks
ago.
Walker will name his assistant
coach to succeed Greason.
Greason, in baseball, succeeds
John Caddell, veteran Deacon
mentor, who resigned early this
month because of illness.
The president also announced
approval of an addition to Groves
football field to provide 10,190
seats and give a seating capacity,
including temporaryvbleachers, of
about 18,000. The new addition
will be bf steel and sheet metal,
with wooden board seats. Instead
of the concrete type of stadium.
"It's a fine style," said President
Kitchin, "and from the front you
can hardly tell thaD it is not con
crete."
The Demon Deacons will play
Mie undefeated University of
North Carolina basketball team at
Wake Forest, Tuesday night, Jan.
30th. This game is expected to
draw a large crowd and is expect
ed to be one of the best games of
the season.

"COTTON ED" BECOMES
NEW SENATE DEAN
Sooth Carolinian Wax Two Years
Behind Borah
Washington. Jan. 24. ? Senator
Ellison D. Smith (D.-S.C.). mous
tached and blustery, who became
dean of the Senate with the death
of Senator Borah, began his ser
vice 31 years ago. That was two
years after Borah came to Wash
ington.
Both 3mlth and Senator Carter
Glass, of Virginia, hide their age
from the congressional directory.
But Smith is six years younger
than Glass. Smith will be 76 in
August; Glass was 82 in January.
Glass came into the Senate In
1920 and Is 12 men down the sen
iority list from Smith. Both have
h*d their arguments with the New
Deal, and President Roosevelt
ti'led to have Smith defeated in
1938.
If there is a pay-off for being
dean, it is prestige. It Is simply
an honorary title, emptier than
most titles. It carries neither more
money nor more patronage. It
means simply that a man has
been re-elected more times than
anybody else in the Senate.
