438:—against a team of professional players. The game was scheduled for January 26, and the pros were to be coached by Sargent. In response, the PCPFL announced that it would bar its players from participating. Rufus J. Klawans, the league president, threatened to "blacklist" any of the league's players who participated in the unsanctioned event. However, members of the Bulldogs vowed to play in the all-star game anyway. Sargent devised a remedy for the situation: he would release the players before the game and re-sign them shortly afterward. The organizers ran into difficulty when the league players demanded more money after they learned Buddy Young, former
455:, and awarded him a five-year contract. He said that he aimed to field the best possible team immediately and to rebuild the program for the future. The Lions managed only three wins in each of his two seasons, and Sargent compiled a 6–12–1 record. He did accomplish his second goal, however, and was credited with recruiting an excellent class in 1948. He resigned both of his athletic posts mid-season on November 10, 1948, at the recommendation of his physician.

Sargent as his replacement. The Loyola newspaper described him as a popular choice on campus due to his reputation as one of the best ends in school history, his experience as the freshman coach, and because many students had attended Loyola High. However, the position

star halfback, would be paid $ 5,000 for his professional debut in the contest. The Friday before the game, Sargent instructed his players not to participate. The game was cancelled due to the financial difficulties, which caused Louis to lose the $ 7,500 he had invested.
