MEtFOs&Jtl&Tftll 01 SIPdDMTTS Short Wave Hassles Displease Pro Gridiron Commissioner Bell Philadelphia (U.R) The "Roger" boys of the football field Were warned today by Na tional Football league commis sioner Bert Bell that he might jam their wave lengths if their space cadet antics become objec tionable. Bell left little doubt that he wasn't pleased by the hassles cropping up already in the short season over the use of player helmets with built in short wave head sets for receiv ing instructions from coaches. The hassles included a New York Giant's claim they moni tored the secret wave lengths of the Cleveland Browns, didn't even need a codebook to de cipher the plays and upset the defending champions. Then, there were the bleats of the Los Angeles Rams that they weren't given the equipment to operate their broadcasts from bench to backfield. No Placa In Football "In my opinion," Bell said. "those things don't belong in WINTER SERVICE SPECIAL 1. Pressure test radiator and hoses for leaks. 2. Install one gallon of Zerex or Prestone. 3. Inspect exhaust system for dangerous leaks. 4.

Of course, the rules permit coaching from the side line, and that's coaching. "I repeat, that's my opinion. They don't belong. But if there's any change to be made in the rules, that's up to the owners at the next league meeting." But Bell left hanging his threat to pull the plug on the radio equipment if the public objects to the use of the air ex cept for forward passes in the stadiums of the league. "If the practice brings dis credit to the game, if it devel ops into a fiasco, if -it becomes objectionable and if the people who pay the freight object, I would say then that it is detri mental to football," Bell said. "I'll take action," he warned. feud Wilkerson Coach of Week By CARTER W. BRADLEY Norman, Okla. 1U.R) The way things are going, his first stringers may have trouble win ning their varsity letters because they're on the bench most of the time. . - i And he says he won't really know how great a football team he has until "we're behind by one touchdown in the final quar ter." That may never happen be cause his hehneted legions over power every team they face. He's the United Press Coach of the Week, Bud Wilkinson of those unbeaten, untied, un scored upon, and still unextend ed Oklahoma Sooners. It wasn't simply that they swamped a well-rated Texas team last Saturday, 45-0, be cause they were strong favorites. It was because Wilkinson's war riors were close to perfection in every phase of the game.

The Red Raiders last week opened their conference schedule with a 13 to 6 triumph over a stubborn Portland State Viking eleven. OTI meanwhile suffered a 25 to 18 setback at the hands of Eastern Oregon after leading for three quarters of the game Southern Oregon and Oregon Tech have one of the strongest grid rivals in the Oregon Col legiate conference. Southern. Oregon belted the Owls 33 to 0 last year, but Oregon Tech is still proud of its 89 to 0 con quest over the Red Raiders in 1952. Despite the fact that South ern Oregon is regarded as the team to beat in the OCC, the Tech Owls can't be taken as a light touch for the Raiders. The Owls have a fine quartet of backs and a good line that could give SOC warriors some trouble some moments. Coach Akins and his Red Raiders have been hampered by injuries all season, . beginning with Little Ail-American cand idate Bill Seymour. Seymour re ceived a neck sprain in pre season practice and has not re turned to full form which gain ed him a unanimous alj-confer ence ranking last year. Also on the injured list have been Ralph Clarno. Jim Bird, Arlen Smith, Ted Tenney. and Don Korns. all backs, with the exception of tackle Jim Bird. Largely responsible for the late surge of the Red Raiders in which they have defeated Chico State 27 to 25 and Port land State 13 to 6, has been the line play of John Garrett Chuck Romine, guards, tackle Herb Colley, and center Bill Stewart. Also chipping in and doing some key blocking for the injured Raider backs are ends Norm Hedgepeth, and Larry Schweinfurt. Southern Oregon Is devoting much of this week's practice session toward efforts to stop the potential passing and run ning attacks of the Owls. Akins, provided that in juries heal in time, will prob ably feature a starting line-up of Hedgepeth and Schweinfurt the ends. Colley and Jim Alle- man or Marion Jack at tackles, Romine and Garrett the guards. Stewart at center, Seymour at quarterback, among Tenney Andy Travis. Larry Mauer and Chuck Crandall at the halfbacks and Clarno or Korns at fullback.
