Bud Wilkinson Wins Acclaim
As Coach of Year; Produced
Champion Team at Oklahoma
By Carl Lundquist
(United Press Sports Writer)
New York, Jan. 4 (U.E) He wound up one decade as coach
of the year and starts out a brand new one as coach of the
week. ,
He is Charles (Bud) Wilkinson, the gridiron genius who
has directed Oklahoma's Sooners to 21 straight victories
the United Press bowl coach for that devastating 35 to 0 tri
umph over Louisiana State in New Orleans.

New York, .Tan. 4 IIP) Now
that plll-pounders like "Senator"
Campbell, Mac Hunter and Har
vie Ward have demonstrated
their readiness to make serious
bids for top honors, competition
in amateur golf should be the
keenest this year since pre-war
days.
. At least that's the opinion of
Joe Dey, executive secretary of
the U.S.G.A.
Slender, dark-haired Joe bub
bled with enthusiasm for pros
pects in 1950 during a chat today
at U.S.G.A. headquarters, where
the guys and gals were busily
completing arrangements for the
annual U.S.G.A. meeting at the
Waldorf-Astoria, January 28.
. Incidentally, the office staff
also was doing some advance pa
per work required in picking
sites for the sectional qualifying
rounds, to be held August 8. The
amateur championship is slated
for August 21 at the Minneapolis
Golf club.
Double Significance
Dey emphasized that the Min
neapolis tourney would have dou
ble significance. When the boys
tee off they'll be competing not
only for the U.S. amateur crown,
but also for berths on the U.S.
Walker Cup team that will tangle
with the British at St. Andrews,
Scotland, probably in May, 1951.
The personnel of that Walker
team probably will differ much
from the star-spangled outfit that
overwhelmed the British, 10 to 2,
at the Winged-Foot club, Mama
roneck, N.Y., last August.
Francis Ouimet's U.S. -team at
Winged-Foot Included Charlie Coe
( of Oklahoma City, who won the
' amateur 'title at Rochester short
ly afterwards; Willie Turnesa,
who lost the title at Rochester;
and Frank Stranahan, Skee Rie
gel, Johnny Dawson, Ray Billows,
Chuck Kocsis, Jim McHale, Ted
Bishop and Bruce McCormick.
Some of those lads certainly
will lose their Walker berths dur
ing this year's competition to
such improved linksmen as Camp
bell of Huntington, W.Va.; Ward
of Rockymount, N.C.; and Hunter
of Los Angeles. Campbell was a
semi-finalist at Rochester. Hand
some, blond Ward intercollegi
ate champ was eliminated in the
fifth round by Coe at Rochester.
Hunter, probably the hottest
young golfer In the country,
burned up the , Oakland club's
course at Rochester until he
bowed to Rufus King at Wichita
Falls, Tex.
King, 32, lost to Coe in the
Rochester final. Rufus, former
national trap-shooting champion,
surprised himself and others by
plaving golf nearly as well as in
1935, when he almost wrestled
the amateur crown from Lawson"
Little.
GETS PLAYER AWARD
Los Angeles, Jan. 4 IP Ohio
. State fullback Fred Morrison was
the most valuable player in the
1950 Rose Bowl game, the Los
Angeles chapter of the Football
Writers association agreed today.
Morrison polled 38 of the 48
votes cast by the sports writers,
and Ohio center Jack Lininger
was second with five.

Sugar bowl victory for this
34-year-old "swell guy" who
has made a career out of bding
the best in anything that he
tackles.
Wilkinson was selected by 382
fellow coaches as their man of the
year in the annual poll conducted
by the New York World-Telegram
and associated Scripps Howard
newspapers. And he vindicated
them well for their support in the
victory his boys turned in against
an L. S. U. team that was sup
posed to be one of the nation's
strongest as the 1949 season end
ed. ,
Players Given Credit
And typically, he gave all the
credit to his players.
"I knew they would not be
beaten," he said. "Those boys not
only are great football players,
but they are swell people who
everyone ought to know."
When he received the coach of
the year award he had to admit
that he hadn't been quite so con
fident at the start of the tough
1949 campaign.
"I didn't think they would go
through like they did," he said.
"Even though everybody else was
predicting so much for us. I just
think the kids were inspired by
the challenge to their ability." i
Wilkinson, who got his football
schooling from one of the old
masters, -Bernie Bierman at Min
nesota, was both guard and quar
terback on the varsity from which
he was graduated in 1937. School
ed in Bierman's violent single
wing' offense, Wilkinson spent 10
years in assistant coaching jobs
and finally developed his own,
which is a kind of cross between
the single wing and the split T.
Oklahoma publicity director Har
old Keith describes it as a "split T
J(?iWh.lch,'ha9 been grafted a- lot
oi single wing oiisnoors.
A coaching colleague, Denny
Myers of Boston college, whose
team was crushed 46 to 0 by the
Okies has a more emphatic de
scription of it.
"It is just plain murder," he
said. "Wilkinson's split T works
more effectively than any other
football offense I have ever seen.

Rose Bowl Pact
May Be Renewed
With Big Ten
Pasadena. Cal.. Jan. 4 dpi Re
newal of the Rose bowl agree
ment between the Big Ten and
the Pacific coast conference will
be considered next week during
the NCAA meeting in New York,
commissioners of the two leagues
said today.
. Despite the west's defeats in
all four games played thus far un
der the current five-year agree
ment, Xommissioner Victor O.
Schmidt of the PCC Indicated his
conference was not seeking to
abrogate the pact.
"We are all set to open nego
tiations aimed at resumption of
the pact," Schmidt said. "We ap
pointed a committee for that pur
pose at our Carmel, Cal., meet
ing." Commissioner Kenneth L.
(Tug) Wilson of the eastern
(Big Ten) conference confirmed
discussions on renewal of the
agreement would take place next
week. He said Big Ten officials
would name their negotiating
committee within the next few
days.
ine negotiations, nowever,
will be of an exploratory nature,"
Wilson said. "We won't have
anything conclusive until our
May sessions."
Eddie Erdelaiz
Expected to Get
Navy Coach Job
Annapolis, Md., Jan. 4 tlPi The
signing of Eddie Erdelatz as
Navy's new head football coach
was expected today when he
meets with the Navy Athletic as
sociation's executive committee.
But before the former Navy
end coach signs on the dotted
line, he wants to iron out several
points with academy officials
and one of those points is the
rugged schedule that has meant
disaster for Navy teams of re
cent years.
"I certainly would like to take
it, and I will if we can get to
gether on everything," Erdelatz
said in acknowledging tnat ne
was offered the Navy job.
But he added: "There's lots to
consider in something like this
salary, assistants, the schedule,
and material. You know, Navy
plays the roughest schedule of
any team in the country. I'm not
afraid of that, you understand,
but I want to talk things over."
Erdelatz, who has been anas-
sistant coach of the professional
San Francisco Forty-Niners for
the past two seasons, flew from
the west coast to huddle with the
academy officials.
The Navy authorities said that
Erdelatz would be given first
crack at the job. If an agreement
can be reached, and academy
superintendent Rear Adm. James
J. Holloway Jr. approves, ne win
be signed immediately.
The Navy vacancy was created
when Head coach George Sauer
resigned, last week because the
academy refused to renew the
contracts of two of his assistants,
Bob Ingalls and Vic Bradford.

Attendance, Betting at Races Showing Decline
By Ray Ayres
(United Press Sporu Writer)
New York, Jan. 4 'Ui The at
tempt of race track owners to
halt the downward trend of bet
ting totals and attendance figures
by staging more programs failed
during 1949 despite the longest
season in thoroughbred racing
history.
A survey of the year's activity
by the United Press disclosed that
a total of $1,414,571,820 was bet
by 23,234,247 persons in 21 states
where parimutuel betting was le
gal during 1949 a drop of $130,
34.345 and 99,059 persons from
1948 figures.
The betting total represented
an 8.4 per cent drop with attend
ance off 4.1 per cent. But there
were 2,583 racing days during
1949 an increase of 149 days ov-
er the previous year. Nine race
programs were common and dally
double betting discarded in some
places (luring the boom years
once again was almost universal.
