UK Appoints Collier

As Football Coach
By JOHN RYAN'S

Sports Editor
The UK Athletics Association announced late Wednesday afternoon
that Blanton Collier has been
selected head football coach to replace Paul Bryant, who resigned
last week. Collier has been an
coach of the Cleveland
Browns pro team for the past eight
years.

In selecting Collier the University has selected a Kentuckian
to handle the Wildcat reins for the
next three seasons. Collier is a
resident of Paris, Ky.. and coached
at Paris High from 1927 to 194:5,
when he went into service.
Collier arrived in Lexington early
Wednesday morning to confer
with the Athletics Association, and
it wasn't until then that he made
his decision to accept the Wildcat
coaching berth. Before coming to
Lexington, Collier flew to Florida
to discuss the opportunity w ith Faul

Browns and personal friend of Collier.

While at Florida, Brown told him
that he would not stand in his way
if he wished to accept the Wildcat

offer. Subsequently, he came to
Lexington and accepted the position.
Coach Collier said that he had
not decided on his staff at the
present time, and that t lie announcement of his assistants would
be made later.
The signing of Collier brought an
end to much speculation concerning
the identity of the new Wildcat
coach. Many names were frequently
mentioned, as the orobable successor to Bryant.
These included

when he served as Brown's

team during World War II.
Then when Brown became the head
coach of the Cleveland Browns, he
took Collier with him. Collier has

The IFC rush committee main- h
tabled a table at University
tration and new students were
mitted to sign up for rush until 5
p.m. Tuesday. All men w ho re

did not pledge were already eliih!,for the present rush.
To insure students who are new
on the campus the opportunity of
becoming acquainted with the fraternities, all houses held open house
from 7 until 10 p.m. on Wednesday,
and the evening meetings will be
terminated tonight.
Must Submit Lists
On February 19 fraternities will
be expected to submit lists of men
to whom they wish to extend bids
and rushees will file preference
cards in the Student Union Building. That night, fraternity representatives will receive a list of those
men who pledged and will notify
their pledges individually.
The rush committee has distributed the rush calendar and a list of
the general rules to the various fraternities, and also directories listing
all registered rushees. The committee estimated that almost 200 men
would be eligible for the informal
rush period.
