Scribe Says
Strader in
Tough Spot
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco (U.R) A lot of
men have stepped into unenvia-
able positions in the football
coaching business, but following
Buck Shaw as head man of the
San Francisco Forty Niners is
just about as tough as making
water run uphill.
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.
Merry Christmas, Red!
