He said there had been "no rumors or talk about the campus of anything like this." "It shocked me. I don't know what to think," Davis said. "I haven't had time to talk It over with any of the fellows because no one I saw today even knew it.

We talked aBout the team and recruiting and things like that, but he never said anything to make you think he wouldn't be here next year. "I don't know what to think. It will be Interesting to see who the new coach will be whether Coach (George) Blackburn will move up or they'll bring in someone else."
