    Red Saniiers Dies
Of iHlearf Attack
Loi Angeles TPE Henry t
(Red) Sanders, acknowledged
coaching genius who became
the center of the self-consuming
Pacific Coast conference
controversy, was dead today
victim of a heart attack.
Sanders, whose nine fabu
lous years as UCLA's head
coach was a thorn in the side
of many of the PCC's less suc
cessful members, died Thurs
day in a downtown Los An
geles hotel room.
With him at the time was a
friend, W. T. (Pop) Grimes
and a friend of Grimes, Ern
estine Drake. Grimes said
Sanders and he were talking
"baseball and the upcoming
football season" when the 53-year-old
coach was stricken
and collapsed.
For more than a half-hour,
while hotel employees sought
vainly to locate a doctor,
Sanders lay unattended on
the floor; Then the police and
the Emergency hospital were
called but when police ar
rived Sanders was dead.
Sanders amassed a nine
year total of 66 wins, 19 losses
and 1 tie. This included three
consecutive PCC titles, and a
national championship in
1954.
Chicago . OD "Wilbur
Johns, UCLA athletic direc
tor, said today he had no im
mediate plans for selecting a
successor to football Coach
Henry (Red) Sanders, who
died Thursday of a heart at
tack. Johns was here for the col
lege coaches meeting and to
night's 25th annual all-star
football game.
"I'm in a state of shock,"
Johns said when informed of
Sanders' untimely death. "I'm
trying to collect my thoughts.
I can't even put into words
my feelings on Sanders."
Other college athletic of
ficials expressed similar senti
ments on the death of the
highly respected coach who
collapsed in a Los Angeles
hotel room.
One of Sanders' greatest
rivals and closest of friends,
Jess Hill, athletic director
and former football coach at
the University of Southern
California, said he was "pro-

As usual, the play-for-pay

Only seven times in 24
games have the collegians
been able to win, the last time
in 1955 when they gained a
narrow 30-27 decision over
the the Cleveland Browns.
But nearly 70,000 fans were
expected to jam Soldier
Field, despite an anticipated
daytime temperature in the
high 80's, to see whether the
new crew, coached by Otto
Graham, can upset.
"We're going to " play an
open game," Graham said,,
"because you're not going to
beat a pro team on the
ground. We'll run a regular
pro offense."
The game will be both
