“No Coach Offered Me Money”
(The following is a statement by Chick King, the Paris, Tenn.,
prep grid star, who was ruled ineligible to play in the S. E. C.
King tells his story to Furman Bisher in this moeorning’s At'anta
Constitution.)
BY CHICK KING
(As Told to Furman Bisher) !
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 7.—No coach, or anybody from
the University of Georgia ever spoke to me about money,
or made me any offer to go to Georgia. I sure hate to see
them get into trouble hecause Commissioner Bernie Moore
thinks they did. P
A man who used to go to school
at Georgia came up to see me and
brought me down to the Georgia-
Georgia Tech game last fall, That
was the first time I ever met
Coach Wally Butts. We talked for
about five minutes, and I never
talked to him but one more time,
and we talked about five minutes
then, too. He never mentioned
money to me, and he didn’t say
much about me comring to school
at Georgia.
I liked Coach Butts, a lot,
though, and I thought then that
I'd like to play football for him.
Now, though, I don’t think I'll
play football anywhere. South
Carolina and Michigan State have
talked to me since they (Commis
sioner Moore) ruled me out, I
wrote Michigan State about going
to school there, and that's why
they came to see nre, I guess. |
If I go to college, though, I'll go
right here at Memphis State Col
lege. That's where I'm staying
with my team that plays in the
All-Star game in Memphis Wed-
nesday night,
I've been thinking pretty seri
ously about professional baseball,
The Detroit Tigers and the Yan
kees have been to see me. I think
I'll go down to Birmingham pretty
soon and see them. They have in
vited me down to work out. I'm
not just sure yet, but I like base
ball about as much as football.
I played in high school and
senri-pro and I played three years
of American Legion ball up home
in Paris (Tenn.), I was an out
fielder in high school.
I just want to make it clear that
no coach from Georgia evér men
tioned money to me about going to
school there. I talked with several
of them, but not about money.
The man who came to see me

THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
was awfully nice, and he was the
only man who offered me any
money to go to Georgia. I can’t
say how much, He said he took all
the Tennessee papers and that he
had read about me in them. He
told me he wasn’t connected with
Georgia at all, except that he was
interested in their sports team.
I want you to put in your paper
that Coach Wallace Butts is the
finest man I ever met. I had my
mind made up and my heart was
set on going to Georgia, but now
that this thing has come along, I
don’t think I'll go anywhere. I'll
just think it over a while.
