Sebo Said
Out at Penn
Philadelphia (IP) Although
his contract has two more years
to run, Steve Sebo will be fired
as head football coach at the
University of Pennsylvania at
the end of the current season.
- The United Press learned
Tuesday that Sebo's status
reached the university's highest
gchelon following Penn's defeat
by Harvard last Saturday. It
was Penn's sixth straight set
l&ck this year and the first time
in 54 years the Quakers had lost
to Harvard. .
Last Straw
Under Sebo, Penn has won
only -four of its last 33 games.
And that loss to Harvard was the
final straw, a source close to the
Penn head office disclosed.
. O Named head coach at Penn
when George Munger resigned at
the close of the 1953 season,
Sebo completed, his first three
year contract last year. He was
then reappointed for another
three years in the face of bitter
opposition by the alumni.
Bus Eaton Would
Like Record Back
Roseburg (IP) Bus Eaton,
who lost his world's marathon
bowling record this week, wants
.it back.
Tom Baird Jr., 35, Middle
town, Ohio, went 286 straight
games to pass Eaton's mark of
280 games set a couple of weeks
ago.
Eaton, who is working for the
city street department here now,
said he wanted to try again. "I
know I can do better," he said.
It took him 49 hours and 15 min
utes to roll his 280 games. Baird
took 65 hours to roll 286 games.

Eddie Erdelatz
Coach of Week

said "you have to be a litte goofy
to be a football coach."
, He isn't goofy at all but rath
er, as one writer once described
him, "as knowing as a chief
petty officer and as wise as an
admiral."
He isn't a braggart but was
quick to say "we feel we are
going to win every game we

He's Eddie Erdelatz of Navy,

Best Starting Backfield '
Erdelatz has developed possi
bly the best starting backfield
in the nation. In fact, he was so
satisfied during spring practice
that he called a halt after 17
days three less than the NCAA
limit.
Don't get the idea that the
44-year-old Erdelatz is overcon
fident. He just knows a good
thing when he sees it. When

"our great players." When the

iRed Raiders
To Oppose
Seattle Club
By BOB McKENZIE
Ashland "Seattle's top inde
pendent amateur football team,"
the Seattle Ramblers, will in
vade the domain of the Southern
Oregon college Red Raiders, this
Saturday at 8 p.m.
The Red Raiders, who have
won three out of four games on
Fuller field this fall and re
ceived their only loss of the cam
paign at home, expect perhaps
their toughest game of the sea
son.
Boasting personnel from all
over the northwest, including
several large universities and
colleges in Oregon, Washington,
and Idaho, the Ramblers will ar
rive on the SOC campus with
an unblemished record for the
current season." Known as "the
goodwill ambassadors" of foot
ball the Seattle club is in its 7th
season as an independent team.
-Don Sprinkle, head coach for the
Ramblers, tutors as a hobby, and
earns his paycheck as an assist
ant sheriff in King county, Wash.
Taking a well earned rest from
practice sessions the SOC Red
Raiders were given Monday and
Tuesday to recuperate from last
Saturday afternoon's hard fought
free for all with the Eastern
Oregon college Mounties, after
which Southern Oregon became
undisputed Oregon collegiate
conference champions.
Although the EOC club was
able to hold the Red Raiders to
a scoreless tie coach Al Akins
said Tuesday that he was not dis
satisfied with the teams effort.
Akins said he believed the Red
Raiders played a good hard ball
game but were unable to gain
a scoring opportunity because
of ball control tactics of the EOC
team. "Let them have their moral
victory, we'll take the Oregon
Collegiate conference champion
ship," commented Akins.
"Roadin" Ron Maurer, SOC's
answer to Alan "the Horse"
Ameche, received several bruised
ribs in the Eastern Oregon tilt
but is expected to be ready to
meet the Ramblers Saturday.
Saturday night's match will
be the Red Raiders final home
game.
Ted Bates
Gets Praise
Corvallis (IP) Coach Tommy
Prothro singled out tackle Ted
Bates for a little praise Tuesday
as the Oregon State Beavers
prepared for Saturday's game
against the University of Calif
ornia Bears at Berkeley.
"Ted played the best game
against Washington State last
Saturday that I have ever seen
turned in by a college lineman,"
Prothro said. "Our line domin
ated the game and Bates dom
inated the line."
Joey Giardello
Defeats Greaves
Denver (IP) Joey Giardello
said today he did his best to
make a fight of it in his simple
unanimous victory over young
Wilf Greaves in a 10-round mid
dleweight bout at Denver Tues
day night.
He couldn't say the same for
his 21-year-old Canadian oppon
ent who fights out of Pittsburgh.
"It takes two to make a fight
you know," Giardello said when
questioned about the booing that
echoed through the Denver Coli
seum. "I think I did my past."
Now, Giardello wantsto meet
one of the top middleweights
Champion Carmen Basilio or
Gene Fullmer, former champioq.
Giardello is third-ranked con
tender behind Sugar Ray Rob
inson and Fullmer. -

About NW Loop
Portland OP) Jim Fleishman,
president of the Northwest
league, said today he was opti
mistic about the 1958 baseball
season despite the fact that the
Salem Senators released field
and general manager Bill Bren
ner because of financial prob
lems. Fleishman said he expected
all six teams to operate and that
he also hoped for two more clubs
to bring the league up to eight
members. He admitted that the
league's future is tied closely
with the realignment of the Pa
cific Coast league.

By UNITED PRESS
y National Football league fans
can add to their enjoyment by
trying to check how many dif
ferent platoons their various he
roes play on during a game.
Take a good look next time if
you think pro performers play
only on offense or defense and
have lots of idle time during a
game.
The New York Giants merely
dramatized a standard proce
dure last Sunday by using of
fensive line stars Roosevelt
Brown and Jack Stroud on de
fense to help stop four Green
Bay Packer smashes from the
one-yard line.
New York has eight different
lineups for various situations in
each game. The other 11 NFL
clubs have as many or more.
Besides its regular offensive
and defensive units, New York
has a kickoff team, kickoff re
turn unit, place-kicking team,
punt return' unit, a special de
fensive lineup for goal-line
stands and one which they use
on defense when they have a
big lead. The latter features the
club's fastest men to defend
against'a shower of passes.
Brown, a 245-pounder from
Morgan State who was drafted
27th by the Giants in 1953, prob
ably is their most versatile per
former. He. is listed as the of
fensive left tackle, where he
won all-league honors last sea
son. The Cleveland Browns, who
sometimes use a special offen
sive lineup of big men when in
side an opponent's 10-yard line,
are seven point favorites against
the .Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleve
land in next Sunday's key game.
In Sunday's other games: The
Giants are nine-point choices to
beat the Chicago Cardinals at
New York, the Bears are fa
vored over the Packers by eight
