Show WASHINGTON STATE MAY LOSE COACH PORTLAND, Dec. 10. Dr. Fred J. Bohler, physical director at Washington Washing-ton State college, who has been attending at-tending the meeting of the Pacific Coast conference" at San Francisco, was in Portland yesterday en route' to Pullman. That William "Lonestar" Dletz has not been asked to sign a contract to coach football next year and probably will not bo asked unless athletic conditions con-ditions become much more settled than at present were the chief Items of in terest gathered from the well-known athletic authority. "In our opinion Mr. Dietz is the greatest football coach on the Pacific Coast and we have to pay him a salary commensurate with his ability, irrespective irre-spective of what returns we receive from the gamp, but unless conditions are much brighter than they were this season It is doubtful if Mr. Dietz will be back," said Mr. Bohler. "He has many offers from eastern schools which are in much stronger financial condition than we are al; Pullman. As I understand it, Mr. Dietz has gone cast, where he will play in the movies during the winter." |
