Mingsville April 25. A and J drops Bud McCallum former University of Texas football star and since 1928 athletic director of Texas College of Arts and Industries says he has been dismissed from the faculty for the 1944 45 session. He received a letter from President Dr E N Jones stating the action followed a regulation attached to the appropriation bill proposing a minimum of one student per teacher. Jones declined to comment on McCallum. The college president would recommend his appointment as director of athletics and head coach upon resumption of inter college athletics after the war. McCallum coached A and I teams that tied for the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association title in 1921 and 1932, tied for the Alamo conference title in 1936 and 1927, won it in 1938 and tied for the flag in 1939.
