Broyles Non-Commital
On Resignation Rumor
FAYETTEVILLE. Ark.
(UPI) — Arkansas coach
Frank Broyles, reportedly
upset at a newspaper article
saying he planned to resign at
the end of the year, today said
he has not made a final
decision.
"I have no comment on
that,” Broyles told UPI “The
options are not final, and
when they are, FU let the
decision be known.”
He refused to answer
further questions, saying it is
his policy not to comment on
newspaper statements.
The Arkansas Gasette
reported today that Broyles
will resign aa head football
coach after 19 years but will
remain aa Arkansas' athletic
director.
Butch Henry, Arkansas'
sports information director,
said today Broyles is upset
about reports he plans to
resign after the nationally
televised Arkansas-Texas
game Saturday.
“Coach Broyles feels the
story Is a little unfair at this
time, because he is trying to
prepare a team for what la
actually the biggest game on
the schedule." Henry said
from Austin, Tex., where he
is making preparations for
the game.
Although Henry did not
deny the validity of the
newspaper story, he said
Broyles was upset because of
its possible impact on the
team’s performance.
Henry is the son of Gasette
sports editor Orville Henry,
who wrote the story on
Broyles's impending resigna-
tion. Orville Henry and
Broyles are dose friends,
although sources indicate
Henry made the decision to
report Broyles' resignation
without prior approval from
the coach
“It chokes me up when I
think of leaving a profession
I've devoted 90 years to,”
Broyles is quoted as saying.
f“But I believe I've accom-
plished something and now
there are other things I’d like
to do, particularly as director
of athletics."
Broyles' first choice as his
successor was Oklahoma
coach Barry Switzer, who
was a former team captain
and assistant coach under
Broyles at Arkansas.
Switzer gave the matter 94
hours of consideration and
declined to pursue it, the

Gazette reported.
Switzer told Broyles he
could not leave Oklahoma,
where he coached two
national champions in Ms
first four years, because of
business connections and
other factor*.
Broyles, 52. has a 144-6*4
record at Arkansas with one
game left against Teats
Saturday. He coached one
year at Missouri and had a
record of 5-5-1.
Broyles reached his
decision in early October at a
time when the Razor backs
were going through two idle
Saturdays, the Gazette
reported. He informed only
his wife and immediate
family, university faculty
athletics Chairman A1 Witte
and a friend or two, all of
whom were pledged to
secrecy.
“‘Looking back," Broyles
said, "It would have been
more approriate, maybe, to
have done this a year ago
after the Cotton Bowl victory.
“At the time I did make the
decision, we had a chance to
have a good year. Every
coach likes to go out on top if
he can. But that was not part
of my decision. It was based
on other things I'd give it my
bast and go out no matter
what."
Broyles, who has seen the
Rasorbacks gain national
recognition under his leader-
ship, said, “it chokes me up
when 1 think of leaving a
profession I’ve devoted 30
years to, bat 1 believe I’ve
accomplished something and
now there are other things I'd
like to do, particularly as
director of athletics.”
Cager Barnes
Seeks Options
To Jail Term
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (UPI)
— Basketball player Marvin
Barnes' attorneys are
studying legal options to a
one-year prison term.
“We’re looking at every
possible option at the
moment,” Attorney Alton W.
Wiley said Wednesday. “We
don’t know what we’re goii«
to do. Of course the ultimate
decision will be up to the
judge.”
Superior Court Judge
Anthony A. Giannim Tuesday
sentenced the Detroit
Pistons’ Moot* forward for
violating state probation by
Ms Oct 9 arrest for the illegal
possession of a handgun at
Detroit Metropolitan Airport
Giannini delayed com-
mitment at the Adult
Correctional Institutions by
two weeks to give Wiley time
to pursue legal options.
Barnes had been given a
one year suspended sentence
and three years’ probation in
1974 after pleading guilty to
assaulting former
Providence College team-
mate Lawrence Ketvtrtis
with a tire iron two years
earlier.
Wiley said he dlsrusasd the
case with Pistons' General
manager Oscar Feldman.
One option, if GiamtiM ac-
cepts it, might be for Barnes
to serve the time on work
