Gillman Says

. '. LOS ' ANGELES' (UPI -Coach
Sid.. Gillman of the Los Angeles
Ram's,--refusing to take"'nn easy
way out. t6 account for his team's
31-10 loss , io the Chicago Bears,
said Monday he wanted to forget
alKiut charges of wire tapping and
excessive pena.llies. '
''Gillman said at a Southern Cal
ifornia Football Writers Assn.
meeting that lie did not plan to
protest .the alleged wire tapping
or the officiating at the Chicago
game in which the Rams were
penalized 100 yards in the first
half, and the Bears penalized only
five yards
All r can say about the pen
alties is that we were penalized
more in that first half than wc
were. in oiir first three pre-season
games," '.Gillman said. 'But I'm
not the protesting type so I'm go
ing to. forget ji,"
, The coach, refusing to hide be-
hind the penalty controversy as a
means of explaining the teams
loss, said, "In my opinion we did
n't' play good football. Whether or
not' the penalties had anything to
do. with it is opeii to conjecture."
. However, he did suggest that the
National Football League adopt a
plan-in which coaches could grade
and ultimately reject officials be
lieved to be doing an unsatisfac
t'ory job.
. "There are 12 coaches in the
league," he said. "If a majority
of coaches grade an official bad
ly, it ought to be clear that
there's something wrong with
him." f- --The
wire tapping allegations
were voiced by assistant Rams
coaches Bill Swiacki and Bob Wa
tcrfield.'who said they saw two
phones on a table near the Bears'
bench and that a member of the
Bears' coaching staff picked up a
headset whenever the Rams sent
instructions to their bench.
As' a case in point, Swiacki said
it was signifcant that when Del
Shofner went back on a fake punl
the Bears seemed to know he in
tended passing and didn't rush in.
. Gillman, sticking to his decision
of not pursuing the duel contro
versy, said as far as he was con
cerned the game with the Bears
was finished, - .
Right now the Rams would con
centrate on getting in shape for
Sunday's game with the Detroit
Lions here Sunday, he said.

California Takes
Favorite Role; Play Oregon
SAN FRANCISCO (UPi)-Wh'at
happens when a football team loses
eight games in a row and then
comes back to win the next three
against tough competilion? 1 '
Coach Pete Elliott's University
of California Bears have done just
that and all of a sudden are
playing the role of favorites to go
io (he Hose Bowl.
California finished off the 1957
season by losing five games in a
row, the only victory out of 10
games last year being a 12-0
triumph over Southern California.
Gimmicks
Take Over
On Gridirons
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) ' It
takes a brain trust to run a ma
jor league college or prodfoot
ball team these days.
If the coaches aren't Phi Beta
Kappas, they at least should have
Masters degrees in psychology,
skull-duggery'and chicanery.
Every week some coach comes
up with whatjie thinks is a new
gimmick thafwill throw the law
of. averages r-abovc and beyond
good tackling and blocking to
his side. - : - '
Next week; for instance, coach
Bill Barnes of UCLA has "some:,
thing .special", planned , to , use
against Stanford. Last, week
Barnes introduced a flanker
with the single-wing formation
and in addition spread the ends;
which was also something new. .
"We got something new in mind
ourselves," replied coach Jack
Curtice of Stanford, "but it is a
secret. .. off the record stuff."
The, coaches all are putting out
"teasers", and then slipping in
in something different. Last week
coach Bob Titchenal of San 'Jose
State' said he was going, to use
Ray Norton,, one of the worlds
fastest sprinters, as a decoy", flank-.
er But Titchenal crossed , up Ari
zona (Tempo) State by putting1 a
good pass-catcher out in lonely
territory and using Norton as a
regular ball-packer.
Such, old timers as Amos
Alonzo Stagg and the late Glenn
S. (Pop) Warner used to claim
that everything being tried these
days had been used before. '
Last iyunday, for instance, the
Los Angeles Rams claimed that
the Chicago Bears were "wire
tapping" their telephone to the
Ram bench. And it was only a
few years ago that one of the pro
teams installed a short-wave set
to its quarterback. This sounded
fool-proof until the other team
tuned in on the . wave-length and
also was receiving the signals.
The biggest "something new" in
the. last quarter century; however,,
came the day coach Clark Shaugh
nessy of Stanford installed Fran-
kie Albert at quarterback leaning
against the center. It was the
birth of the T-formation and' was
to result in the-biggest revolution
in the history of football.-';
.However, claimed the old-tim:
ers, even that wasn't new.' . :-
But you can bet your bottom
dollar, wherever there is football
played this weekend some coach
has come up with something ; he
considers to be completejy but- of
this world. '. ,, . . .;-

College of Pacific and Michigan
State in its first two games, and
1 hen catching fire to knock over
high-flying Washington State,- 34-
14; Utah, 36-21, and USC, 14-12. :
"Part of the difference," says
coach Elliott, "is that you get the
breaks when you are winning."
But observers of the Golden
Bears believe that Elliott finally
has 'got the split-T formation
which he installed when he came
to- Cal at the start of last year,
clicking to perfection or at least
enough ' of each game to score
some touchdowns.
And Elliott has come: up with
one. of the finest all-round football
players in the west in quarterback
Joe Kapp. When Kapp is clicking
the. Bears are rolling. Against USC
last . Saturday,- for instance,' he
completed six out of nine pass at-
temns for 75 yards; and he picked
up ;another. 47 yards net running.
Kapp is every inch an All-Am
erican, .. said coach Kay .Nagel of
Utah after his club, was trounced
by; California. ,; '
Kapp,-a 6-2, 205-pound senior,

for in the ': backfield. A former
straight-T, quarter, it may bp that
it has taken him this long to get

iiis puzzlement to United Press
International's coaches "wailing
wall today. ; -
"I wish I could put the finger
on what's wrong with this ball
club, he said. It s hard to fig
ure why this team doesn't roll,
Our : inability to move the ball
against Purdue gave them the
ball more times. Our defense was
all right. We had plenty of .oppor
tunities, and couldn't do it. :Wc
couldn't get going." j.
. Purdue's Jack Molleiikopt , said
his club was "good . enough rHo
overcome its mistakes. We ,weje
in. hot water from fumhles:,ajid
two bad passes that didn't fallow
us to ..kick. Our own mistakes
seemed to kill us,' but we did;: a
real fine job on offense Vijnd
moved better than I expected;"'
"The breaks evened up' in': the
second half," Iowa's Coach Forest
Evashevski said of the Wisconsin
game, "and our kids came back
pretty well. We made some mis
takes, and our kids were a little
tight, but we bounced back. ''It
would have been pretty close any
how. Wisconsin's a pretty good
ball club." ' ,;
Wisconsin's Milt Bruhn paid the
same compliments to Iowa, and
said "their halfbacks are tremen
dous. They matched us in depth.
I thought we started out well, but
our offense bogged down, and we
didn't capitalize three times when
wc went in. Our defense was ade
quate. Iowa was a little higher
than we were and wc didn't play
our best game. y:
Michigan's "own mistakes pitt
us in the hole quickly,. Bonnie
Ooslerbaan said of the Northwest
ern match, "and when we lost
Bob Ptacek, we lost 1 our leadership-on
the field. Their offensive
nattprn shouldn't have fooled us,
but it certainly was effective.
Northwestern played a " great
game and we were flat'
Ara Parscghian of the Wildcats
said Michigan "made so . mny
mistakes, and we capitalized . on
every mistake they made Every
time they gave lis the ball , we
took it in, and we had -another

said he was "encouraged" by the
officiating in the Big Ten last
Saturday, with the possible ex

During his own game, the fiery

protest alleged roughness on the

Mitchell was backed up in his

he had heard the "officiating was

Mitchell to give the officials who
worked the game a "zero" in his
