Football League's Bert Seflfl;
Kams Get Nine EDraft Choices
Philadelphia -(CPS- National
Football League owners, after
giving Commissioner Bert Bell
a vote of confidence, today
et about the business of
aigning their first draft
choices for the 1959 season.
Bell, aroused by what he
termed the "internal bicker-ings-squawkings
and squab
blings by coaches and own
ers" said Monday the league
could have back his contract
unless he. was given a free
hand to run it
"I don't want to be a
czar," Bell told the owners
in an executive meeting after
the four rounds of college
selections were completed.
"But if I can't have a free
hand to run it the league
you run it."
"I would prefer to run
things by persuasion, as I
have the past 13 years. If it
doesn't work that way, I will
have to run this by the book,
and if I can't run the league
the way the books say, I will
give up my contract," Bell
said.
Bell, commissioner smce
1946, noted that there have
been "some remarks, includ
ing that I am a stooge for
some owners. There have
been some squawks against
decisions I made."
Given Confidence Vote
Bell, in his criticism of the
bickerings, said of the league
that "I couldn't run it any
other way-I couldn't change.
Now if I can't go along as
I have, I'm ready to step out.
However, the owners, who
rewarded Bell with a 12-year
contract in 1954 at a $40,000
annual salary plus a $10,000
yearly pension, met immedi
ately afterward and gave the
commissioner a vote of confidence.
The executive meeting, dur
ing which owners discussed
financial problems of "four
or five teams" despite an im
pending 3 million record paid
attendance this year, came

The New York Knicker
bockers will entertain the Bos
ton Celtics in the feature.
Tom Marshall, only 27
years old, replaced Bobby
Wanzer as the Royals' coach
Monday because of "differ
ences of opinion" in the
team's front office.
"Wanzer could not see eye-to-eye
with the management
on a number of things and we
feel this will be the best thing
for all concerned," General
Manager Pepper Wilson said
in announcing the change.
The Royals won only 3 of
their first 18 games under the
direction of Wanzer, a former
Seton Hall star who took over
the team's coaching reins
three years ago. The club was
hurt this season by the ab
sence of its star rebounder,
Maurice Stokes, who was
stricken by encephalitis last
spring and is still bedridden.

after the owners selected 48
players from among the top
flight college stars eligible for
the draft.
The Los Angeles Rams reap
ed the biggest harvest-nine
choices-the result of their
swapping players for the draft
rights of other teams during
the off-season. Detroit picked
up seven through the same
system, while Cleveland and
San Francisco each came up
witn live.
No Choice for Steelers
nusDurgn didn't nave a
choice because its first seven
picks already were traded
away.
The biggest catch in the
Rams' net was Dick Bass of
the College of the Pacific, the
nation's leading rusher, who
was grabbed when they exer
cised the Philadelphia Eagles'
first draft right as part of
the deal which brought Norm
Van Brocklin to the Eagles.
The Green Bay Packers.

credit this year, had first
crack at the entire heap and
took Randy Duncan, the All
America quarterback of the

Green Bay also took tower
ing Boyd Dowler of Colo
rado, a 6-5 quarterback who
can kick, carry, pass, block
and run the 100 yards under
10 seconds in a track suit in
a later choice.
Rams Draft Dickson
The Rams, in addition to
Bass, took Paul Dickson, Bay
lor tackle, in the first round.
The Chicago Cardinals took
quarterback Bill Stacy of Mis

ton iook uon Allard, great
passer of Boston College.
Ssan Francisco went for

Baylor Tops
Score List
2nd Week
New York -UPD- Elgin Bay
lor, the Ail-American from"
Seattle U. playing in his rook
ie season with the Minneap
olis Lakers, held the National
Basketball association's indi
vidual scoring lead for the sec
ond straight week today but
he probably will lose it in the
next five days.
Baylor has scored 505
points in 20 games thus far, 27
more than runnerup Bob Pet
tit of the St. Louis Hawks and
77 more than George Yardley,
the Detroit Pistons' defending
champion.
However, Baylor is slated
to play in only one game this
week while Pettit has four
cracks at the lead and Yard
ley two. Because of the pecul
iarities of the schedule, Min
neapolis already has played
20 games, while St. Louis, and
Philadelphia have been in ac
tion only 16 times and New
York 15.
Pettit, currently 16th among
the all-time NBA scorers, has
the best per-game average,
29.9, with Paul Arizin of the
Philadelphia Warriors, fourth
on the scoring list, second
with a 26.1 mark. .
The field goal percentage
lead is held by Kenny Sears of
the New York Knickerbock
ers. The blonde shotmaker has
cennected on 114 of 214 tries
for a .533 average the best
ever through 15 games.
Bill Sharman of the Boston
Celtics has a big edge over
runnerup Archie Dees of the
Cincinnati Royals in free
throw shooting .926 to .885
Sharman has missed jonly five
of 68 attempts.
Bill Russell of the Celtics
holds a comfortable lead on a
rebounds-per-game basis, but
is only one ahead of Baylor,
315-314, in total recoveries,
and Bob Cousy, also of Bos
ton, is closing in on Dick Mc
Guire of , Detroit in assists,
133-108.

Giants Grid Star Hopeful of Honor
As All-Pro-Defensive Player Choice
New York -(UPD-Sam Huff,
star linebacker of the New
York football Giants, is keep
ing his fingers crossed that
he'll win "the greatest honor
of my career" selection as
an all-pro defensive player.
Huff, completing his third
year in the league, already is
rated one of the greatest de
fensive players in the history
of a club which has had such
previous greats as Mel Hein,
Al Blozis, Ed Widseth and
Barney Poole. He's fast
enough to catch a halfback,
tough enough to stop a full
back and smart enough to an
alyze the opposition's plays as
they develop.
But Big Sam his real name
is Robert Lee is quick to
point out that "Nobody runs
riot in this league."
Sam tells the following
story on himself "to demon
strate there's always some
body in this league to put you
in your place."
"The Giants assigned me to
watch Cleveland's Jim Brown
the first time we played the
Browns this year," he said,
recalling th Nov. 2 game won
by the Giants, 21-17. "So, I
figured I'd use some psychol
ogy as well as muscle to try
to stop him.
"The first time he got the
ball I stopped him cold and as
we rolled over said, 'Jim, you
know you smell!" The second
time I also got him and re
peated, "Jim, you sure do
smell'."
The Last Word I .
A couple of plays later the
great 230 -pound fullback
broke through a hole in the
Giant line and went 58 yards
for a touchdown.
Portland U.
Rates High
On Coast
Portland -(UPD- Coach Al
Negratti again will hav one
of the West Coast's strongest
independent basketball teams
at University of Portland this
season.
But Negratti has lost the
big man. he had counted on
so much to make his Pilots
one of the strongest teams in
the West. Ray Scott, a 6-9 one
time high school opponent of
Wilt Chamberlain in Phila
delphia, has dropped out of
school.
Scott averaged more than
20 points per game as a fresh
man during the latter part of
last season.
Vets Back
Negratti, whose Pilots will
meet Iona College in Madison
Square Garden Dec. ' 18, has
a lineup composed of well-
tested veterans. The team
won 18 and lost 11 last sea
son, counting among its vic
tims strong Bradley University.
This year Portland has a
rugged schedule which in
cludes such teams as Brigham
Young, Dayton, Iona, Montana
State, Regis, Seattle, Utah
State and Washington Univer
sity of St. Louis.
Wally Panel and Jim Arm
strong, a pair of speedy sharp
shooters from Chicago are
back. Panel is the driver of
Portland's "give-and-go" of
fense and Armstrong is a
deadeye shot, especially from
around the key. 1
Altenhofen Returns
Dick Jolley, who averaged
14 points per game last season,
is another top-flight "little
man." Jolley is an excellent
long shot and his free throw
average of 80 per cent was
among the best in the nation
last season.
Although there is no sky
scaper, Negratti has Jim Al
tenhofen, a rugged 6-5 youth
and Elmen Bloedel, at 6-4,
back for front-line duty. Al
tenhofen is an excellent scor
er and led the rebounding last
season.
Chuck Rogers, a 6-6 lad
who was on the Navy all-star
team in the national AAU
tournament last season, may
give additional height help.
Portland opens its season
here Wednesday night against
Brigham Young.

The star of last week end's
Southern California - Notre
Dame game was cheered,
praised and commended Mon
day at a public meeting 6f
the Southern California Foot
ball Writers association. The
group then adopted- a mo
tion asking the East-West
game selection committee to
pick Buford on the West
team.
Buford, twice selegted as
player of the week By the
writers, told the gathering se
lection for the Shrine game
would be a real climax to his
season.
Don Clark, coach of the
Southern Cal football team,
was one of those joining in
the praise of Buford whose
star reached its zenith in the
last two games.
Bussy Day
Against the Irish, Buford
intercepted two passes for 65
yards, threw a 41-yard touch
down pass, ran kickoffs back
68 yards and was a bearcat
on defense.
"Buford is one of the most
courageous players we have
ever seen," Clark said. "We
would like to get 11 players
like Buford and we would
have no problems. I would be
happy to join in recommend
ing him for the East-West
game."
Turning to the game with
the Irish, Clark said South
ern Cal was able to hold its
own against Notre Dame's
first and second teams but
he said, "that third team was
as tough as the dickens."
But he paid tribute to his
players for coming through
with a good season after hav
ing had a 1-9 record last year
and being forced to call on
sophomores as . starters in
many key positions.
Assistant coach Joe Madros
of the Rams, appearing for
head coach Sid Gillman who
was in Philadelphia for the
pro draft, credited the defen
sive unit with stopping a puz
zling offense used by the
Chicago Cardinals.
"The Cards were up for us
and I felt our defensive unit
did a tremendous job in solv
ing their tricky formations,"
Madros said.
The coach, while crediting
the Colts with having a good
team, said the Rams might
have beaten them at Balti
more two weeks ago but for
their fumbles. He said the
Rams would be out to avenge
that defeat when they meet
here Saturday even though
the Colts have cinched the
Western Division title.
Coach Jim Powers of Santa
Monica City College said that
his team as the Western rep
resentative in the Junior Rose
Bowl against Northeastern
Oklahoma A&M would be dis
playing many of the future
stars of UCLA and Southern
Cal.
