EXTENSION OF CONTRACT OF FOOTBALL COACH

The President presented a letter from the Provost recommending that the contract of
Mr. Richard Voris as Head Football Coach be extended for an additional year until February
1962 with no change in salary. This recommendation had been unanimously approved by the
3-2-2 Athletic Council in the belief that Mr. Voris should have this additional opportunity
to prove himself since he came to the University so late that he was unable to take full
charge of recruiting until this season.

The following resolution was adopted by the Board:

RESOLVED by the Board of Visitors of The Rector and Visitors of the University of
Virginia that the Athletics Committee of the Board be and it is hereby authorized to consider
the extension for one year of the contract as Head Football Coach of Mr. Richard Voris and
take final action on the proposal.
