liners Play Before Sellout
Crowds in Most Home Games
San Francisco HP The San
Francisco Forty Niners, the
"Hair-breadth Harry" club of
the National Professional Foot
ball League, have sold out for
10 of their 12 games this year.
They have attracted 670,000
paid admissions for 12 games
including next Sunday's assured
sellout at Kezar Stadium.
They played before an all-time
record crowd of 103.000 in Los
Angeles. They "sold out" the
house in Chicago. Detroit and
Baltimore. They drew the big
gest crowd of the year in New
York 54.000.
They have filled their 60,000
capacity Kezar Stadium five out
of six times this year and in
the other game drew 40,000,
against the Chicago Cardinals in
the season's opener.
So what makes this club the
greatest attractiorj,in the history
of professional football? They've
never won a championship, yet
four out of five years they have
been the greatest road gate.
Is it their old, bald-headed
, quarterback, Y.,A. Tittle?

'.friendly to both Cus D'Amato
and Jim Norris, tried over the
weekend to arrange a forget-
the-past conference that might
settle their feud and result in a
big heavy-weight title fight.
Promoter Norris was willing.
He said "As far as I'm concerned
the fud is one-sided. I'll be glad
to sit down with Cus any time
and make a fresh start in talks
about a title bout."
QBut D'Amato, manager of
champion Frank Patterson, re
fused point-blang to have any
dealings with Norris, "because I
have no confidence in the man."
D'Amato's refusal was so bit
terly final there seems no hope
Qof a reapproachment. And the
situation could cause much
trouble in 1958. Not only does
D'Amato refuse to let young Pat
terson fight for Norris and his
International Boxing Club, but
he refuses a defense against any
contender, who in D'Amato's
n oplfcion, is "frendly" with the
IBC.
In his weekend statements,
Cus hinted that the barred
"friendly" group might include
every contender listed among
the top 10 by the Ring Magazine,
although he did not come right
out and say it.
He repeated that he is nego
tiating for a spring title defense
in England against an undesig
nated oppoennt. He added, "and
we have four offers for title
fights in the United States
from independent promoters."
Meanwhile, Norris stressed his
willingness to confer with
D'Amato. He said, "if Cus does
not want to meet me in New
York now. I could fly up from
Miami in 314 hours or from Chi
cago in two hours and 40 min
utes, any time he wants to sit
down and talk it over."
But the world's best known
promoteOadded "If he doesn't
want Patterson to fight . under
our promotion, I'm sure he won't
put us out of business. The gov
ernment might put us out, but
D'Amato jsvon't."
Norris' "government" mention
referred to the monopoly deci
sion now before the ' United
States Supreme Court for confir
mation or reversal.
Last summer Federal Judge
Sylvester Ryan found the IBC
guilty of violating the anti-trust
laws and ordered the IBC bro
ken up. But his verdict was ap
pealed to the Supreme Court.
Fears IBC "Control"
Friends of D'Amato says he
fears the IBC will try to "con
trol" Patterson if he defends
under IBC promotion.
But Norris emphasized: "We
don't control any fighters or
0 have any pieces of them, and we
don't want any. We're perfectly
satisfied with the promoter's
share of fights."
Among the many other reas
on for D'Amato's feud is his
charge that the IBC refused to
use his preliminary boxers after
Patterson had won the vacant
title by knocking out Archie
Moore, Nov. 30, 1956. He said
MAIL TRIBUNE
Is it the glamor of the name,
rorty Niners? Or San Francisco?
Or maybe it is the greatest
running back, now an end, Hugh
McElhenny. Or a rookie named
R. C. Owens.
No matter how you look at
it, it's a fabulous operation.
The Forty Niners get what
could be called a "poor" press
in their home town yet the fans
riot to buy tickets.
"It's hard to believe," says
Bill Kim, of the Forty Niner
staff. "We put tickets on sale
at our downtown office at eight
o'clock Monday morning after
the win over the Colts," said
Hill, "and eight hours later they
still were streaming into our of
fice despite the fact that we
had only 1,000 tickets to start
the day.
"And we practically sold out
for the Green Bay game, final
of the year, before the Colt tilt.
We could have been playing that
one just for fun and still had a
sell-out."
The Forty Niner office is
swamped with telephone calls
from the blue.
The board can act only in an
advisory capacity, but its recom
mendations carry considerable
weight. It is made up of three
members each from the faculty,
student body and alumni.
The resolution recommended
that the University of California
at Berkeley withdraw from the
PCC effective July 1, 1959.
The action was undoubtedly

the IBC had promised faithfully
to do so.
But Norris said, "We used
some preliminary fighters sug
gested to us by Charley Black
and Vinnie Cirola, whom
D'Amato had given us to under
stand would represent him."
Since he won the title, Patter
son defended twice for independ
ent promoters and knocked out
Hurricane Jackson (10 and ePte
Rademacher. The champion's
purses were large enough in
those bouts to put him in the 90
per cent brackets, said D'Amato.

BASGALL MADE MANAGER
Pittsburgh (IP) Romanus
(Monty) Basgall, former Pitts
burgh Pirates' infielder who
twice won "manager of the
year" honors in the Class A Big

manage the Pirates farm club

Western league. Basgall played

1948, 1949 and 1951.

of tickets that had been over
looked. There is no national cham
pionship involved yet just the
pennant race. But the fans are
carrying on as though the honor
of the country were at stake.
When they couldn't get tickets
last week, thousands either flew
or drove to Reno, Nev., Sacra
mento or other cities 100 or
more miles away to watch on
television. Other hundreds of
thousands in the West listened
by radio.
Tickets for the Colt game last
Sunday were being scalped at
S40 each for a $3.75 ducat, or
for two together, $100.
If the Forty Niners get into
the world series game against
Cleveland on Dec. 29 the day
following the already sold out
Shrine East-West game some of
the ticket-selling tales may be
come too fabulous to believe.
sparked by the failure of the
PCC to adopt the university's
proposals for revising the athlet
ic code. At a meeting last week,
the PCC rejected a proposal by
California and UCLA, its south
ern sister, and Southern Calif
ornia that the member schools
police themselves.
Complete Freedom
The California schools also
proposed complete freedom of
scheduling by member schools.
The resolution went today be
fore the Executive Committee of
the Associated Students of the
University of California (ASUC).
If adopted, it will then go before
Chancellor Clark Kerr for final
sanction.
The advisory board released a
statement saying:
"On June 21, 1957, the board
of regents adopted the state
ment of athletic policy for the
University of California, which
in the opinion of the Intercol
legiate Athletic Advisory Board
of the University of California,
Berkeley, if adopted by the Pa
cific Coast conference, would
have restored intercollegiate ath
letics to its appropriate place in
educational affairs. That state
ment of policy was in practical
effect approved by the presidents
of all the conference institutions,
but thereafter was rejected by
the conference at its December,
1957, meeting.
Withdrawal Recommended
"We -therefore recommend to
the chancellor and the Executive
Committee of the Associated
Students of the University of Cal
ifornia that the University of
California, Berkeley, withdraw
from the conference effective on
July 1, 1959.."
Those drawing up the resolu
tions were O. Court Majors,
Judge Stanley Barnes and Judge
Henry Selvin of the alumni:
Dean Herford Stone, Dean Wil
liam Keeler and William Mona-
nan of the faculty; and Ron
Wheatcroft, Roger Gregg and
John Mahoney, representing the
students.
Also attending Monday night's
meeting was Greg Engllhard, di
rector of athletics. He is an ex
officio member of the board.
PCC Head Not
Being Replaced,
Reports Indicate
Stanford, Calif. (IP) There
has been no attempt to hire a
successor to Vic Schmidt, retir
ing commissioner of the Pacific
Coast conference, according to
Stanford Director of Athletics,
Al Masters.
It has been reported that Fritz
Crisler, long-time Big Ten coach
and athletic director, had been
offered the post. However, Mas
ters, ex-officio member of the
conference committee assigned
to study the commissioner's post
m the light of Schmidt's resig
nation, said:
"We haven't even called a
meeting yet, so no one can have
received an offer unless the
committee met while ignoring
me. Also, we haven't even made
a study of the commissioner
powers which we will do be
fore considering anyone for the
post."
