The request came this week 'rom a 10-man Judicial Commis sion of Orange Presbytery who presented a lengthy report to :he church officers, asking them j o resign prior to a full congre gational meeting with the com mission next Sunday. Although there was no direct -equest for the resignations, the ',000 word, 12-page report "rec ommended" that the minister re ;ign. It was primarily critical f the minister's and officers' ac ions and beliefs and their al leged failure to conform to :hurch doctrine by which they'd e bound under their ordinations raws. The report's criticisms of Mr. Tones who was called here . 12 rears ago from Brevard were primarily theological.

In recent years the minister has been the target of many criticisms for what have been termed his unusually liberal ra cial and theological views.

'X as: v Athletic Board Faiis To Name His Successor Gray Fox Closes 26 Year Career; May Teach Here By Biff Roberts Daily Tar Heel Sports Editor Carl Snavely resigned last night as Carolina's head foot ball coach, closing out an oft- called brilliant career but one which had been plagued with losses during the past three years. The venerable Tar Heel coach submitted his resignation before the monthly meeting of the school's Athletic Council last night. After the reading of Snave ly's letter by council member A. W. Hobbs, the board voted to ac cept his resignation. No successor was named. The Athletic Council decided to assign him to other duties in the Department of Athletics and Phy sical Education possibly teaching. Snavely's letter read: "My appraisal of the football situation at the University of North Carolina leads me to the conviction that I can best serve the interest of the University and its alumni by requesting that I be relieved of the responsibilities of football coaching and be assigned to other duties in the Department of Athletics and Physical Educa tion. "I hereby request such reas signment to take effect January 1, 1953. Snavely's resignation came at the end of a season which had seen his Carolina team win but two of eight games. Two other games, witn tieorgia ana in. in state, were cancelled because of polio on the team. His teams dur ing the last three years had won only seven games. Snavely had served 25 years as a head football coach with 10 of those years devoted to Carolina. He sent three Tar Heel teams to bowl games, in 1946, 1943, and 1949, but was unsuccessful in all three attempts. His over-all record included 147 victories, 77 losses and 16 ties. His 10-year mark at Carolina had 59 wins, 35 losses, and five ties. Sparked by Ail-Americans Charlie Justice and Art Weiner, his teams from 1946-1949 made the three trips to the bowls, the 194o and 1943 teams going to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans and the 1949 squad playing Rice in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas, Texas. In addition to coaching at Caro lina Snavely served seven years at Bucknell and nine seasons at Cornell. He first coached at Caro lina in 1934, when he won seven, lost one and tied one, and in 1935, when he won eight and lost one. Because of his outstanding re cord with the Tar Heels in those two years he moved to Cornell and coached there before return ing to Chapel Hill in 1945. Snavely enjoyed one unde feated and untied season, this coming in 1939 when his Cornell team won eight while losing none. His best one-year record at Caro lina was produced by his 1943 team which had a seasonal record of nine wins and a tie, but bowed to Oklahoma in the Sugar BowL Although Snavely's successor was not named at the meeting last night, there has been wide speculation as to the new. coach. Jim Tatum, a former Carolina coach, Art Guepe of Virginia, and Jim Gill and George Barclay, two of Snavely's assistants have been mentioned for the post, with Ta tum probably having the greatest popularity.
