New national pastime?
- Pro football Just
1 scratching surface
By Oscar Frsley

- NEW YORK (UPI) In an
era of a 53-cent dollar, the big-
-gest grid question today Is wheth
er the struggling American Foot
. ball League can stretch Its pen-
-nles far enough to remain alive
c ine ever liciier pro grid gold
-rush.
. There Is general unanimity at
least among pro football men
.that their game is replacing base'
ball as the national pastime. Ar
gue with it if you will, but on
the basis of attendance and en
thusiasm it Is just now scratch
-ing the surface.
Otto Graham, one of the pro
game's all-time greats, figures
Jhat if the new AFL can "oper
'ate another couple of years" it
!wdl have it "made" on sheer mo
mentum.
.' Graham, a commander In the
Coast Guard and coach of its
academy's football team, figures
'lhat the AFL is playing better
.football right now than it gets
Vredit for and that there are
plenty of players around to stock
both leagues well.
A Fair Analysis
It Is a fair analysis, particular
ly In view of the fact that be--fore
his retirement, Graham was
the all-pro quarterback who led
the Cleveland Browns to seven
championships.
Otto knows how the underdog
league feels even though he was
one of the best in the long estab

Big 5 choke

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)
When the Big Five was formed
it was announced:
"We'll have the choice of send
;lni a toam to Rosa BowL If
we fear we don't have a repre
sentative team, then we can se
lect some other club."
This statement was aimed to
quiet the fears of such teams as
.Oregon, Oregon State and Wash
.lngton State that they would be
left out in the cold if they came
;up with a ohampionsliip-type
-team.
Well, it now appears that not
;only the Big Five, but the three
"outside" teams from Uie north
;are going to offer a bad-record
team for the Pasadena engage
ment This holds true especially if
Southern California should beat
UCLA on Saturday. Then the over
all records would read: USC W-l
UCLA 6-4. Do those sound like
Hose Bowl records?
So here's a suggestion:
Why not make everybody hap
py (except the Big Five) and In
'vite either Utah State or Arizona
if they win their final games?
Resectable Records
' At least they have something
.resembling bowl game records.
;Utah Stale currently is WM; Ari
zona Is 7-1-1.
Both teams have played repre-
'sentaUve schedules. The only blot
on the Utah State record la a 6-6
tie with Wyoming. Wyoming
waved Kansas to a 6-6 dcadiocn
!ilso and look what Kansas did
to a Big Five team (California)
last Saturday with a 53-7 scorci
The Big Five could prove itself
a democratic organliatlon Willi
such a move. And It is a good
guess that either Utah Stale or
Arliona would prove better com
petition for a Big Ten team (or
any other club Irom uie tasu
Uian Big r ive squaa.
Matter of Monty
Tills suggestion, of course, Isn't
coina to sit well with Uie Hie ! lv
officials ami USC and UCLA fans
and student.
Of course, there Is tlie little
matter of money Involved. So I
guess there is no chance of the
siiaeesllon belns taken seriously.
The Big Five isn't about to fill
the coffors of Utah State, for In
stance, so that the Aggies ran use
the money to entice more athletes
away from the Coast
Coach John Ralston of the Ag
gies already has stated that Cal
llornla Is his "happy hunting
ground" and that it Is eay to
get athlete away from Coast
schools because of the over-crowd
ed college population n the Far
West
But the thought of Utah State
or Arliona In the Rose Bowl
would be quite a tiling for the
