Feb. 2S --Il’Pi Northwestern University, which hasn’t won a big nine grid title since young Hob Voigts played tackle 10 years ago, hoped today that his return as head football coach would turn th« tide. Voigts, leaving his post as line | coach of the professional Cleve-, land Browns, was expected to ar ' rive tomorrow for the formal signling of ■> three-yeir contract. At | 31. he will he the youngest head football coach in the western con j ference. Voigts said he wa-n't “a bit worried" about that. "I've always wanted to go back and show them what I can really do,” he told reporters at Cleve-; > land. The university's board of trustees gave him the chance last ' night by approving his appoint merit. Salary terms were not dis- \ closed, but there were re[H>rt« he would receive about SII,OOO a year Selection of Voigt*, boosted by 1 .ilumni who wanted an adumnus! ; for the job, ended a 10-day search i for a replacement for Lynn Wai dorf who resigned to take over, the football fortunes of the I ni< versify of California. Voigts is the first alumnus foot hall coach Northwestern has hired since 1913. when Dennis Grady, former baskethall coach, served one year. At Cleveland Paul Brown, head coach of the championship Browns in the All-American professional league, said Voigts had been released “with' our blessings" from a five-year contract. “We hope he wins all his games,’’ Brown said.

There was no indication whether such a meeting would prove seas ible under UN procedure. The Bri- i tish suggestion was that the special session consider Palestine and then report its findings to the reg , ular assembly meeting in Septem her. Britain, the source said, has . little hope that any real progress on Palestine i-an lie made outside the I’nited Nations desite the statement by foreign secretary Ernest Bevin that he was prepared to try again to find common ground between the Jew* and Arab*.
