"Smile a' lot," said the actor. "Show three lines of teeth. Look very bored with the whole world and you're on as a Latin lover. "Of course," he added, "you'll hate yourself in the morning."

"I want to direct and produce movies. That's what I did before coming to Hollywood." In real life, insisted Lamas, "I am not the typical loveriype." However, I noted that at home he does not putter around the garden or the kitchen, and he and wife, Arlene Dahl, live an elegant life. He even wears smoking jackets around the house, i .

Norman P. (Red) Strader has tackled this" mountainous job and if he makes good he 11 earn every nickel of the $20,000 or so that he will collect each year from Forty Nine president Tony Morabito. Shaw had become a legend in fellow whom everyone admired, San Francisco the kind of a He was always referred to as "the gentlemanly" Mr. Shaw; the kind of a coach that fathers liked to have directing the fu ture of their sons; Good Record On top of that he had one of the finest coaching records in the history of professional foot ball. In nine years his teams finished second in their division and. only once did they fail to finish out of contention. We must have a champion ship; club," said Mr. Morabito 10 days ago. "So we are firing Shaw and hiring a new coach." """Poor Red! He steps into the spot with two strikes , against him: ;1 The fans still are for Shaw and there will be a lot of them rooting against the Forty Niners when 'the season opens; and 2 If Strader doesn't win the title, he'll be on the pan with Mora bito. If Shaw should happen to sign up with another professional football club, the Los Angeles Rams, for instance, Kezar Sta dium is going to be sold out for every game in which the Shaw team shows. Well over half of the fans may be rooting for Shaw & Company especially if the Forty Niners happen to be having a bad season.. Cool Situation This is not exactly a very cozy situation for the home coach, or the home team, for that matter. But it is the situation that pre vails. Strader, off his past records, could be rated as a genius. He had a so-so record of 10-7 in two years at St. Mary's; with the Yanks in the American and Na tional League it was below av erage. There is the probability that Strader lacked player tal ent in' both instances. , However, it is well known that fans in sporting circles are the most fickle of all. . -. So about all Strader has to do to win them over to his side is to win every game. . Anything short of that would fall flat with the fans, for sure, and possibly with Mr. Morabito.

Competition starts Dec. 27, with Ken Rose well of 'Australia meeting Vic Seixas of the United States following the Trabert Hoad opener. On Wednesday.
