McCollab Eligible for 1941 Football After Studies
Tulane tackle Harley Ray McCollab, named to the All America squad last fall, is expected to clear academic deficiencies to play in 1941. Vanderbilt plans to push hard for Bobby Dodd to leave Georgia Tech, though no direct approach has been reported. The Southern Golf Association proposed funding for the 14-state four ball tourney in Atlanta, but the U S C A rejected it to avoid setting a precedent. Dan McGugin earned at most $5,000 annually during 31 years coaching Vanderbilt teams. Parker High of Greenville enters the Durham tournament after two undefeated basketball seasons, with Vanderbilt likely to set a top coach salary around $7,500 depending on the hire.
