Frank Albert- Quits Forty-Niner Post By HAL WOOD San Francisco-fUPIP-Frankle Albert resigned as head coach of the San Francisco Forty Niners today "because I love my family more than I do football." Albert said the reason he decided to quit was because his wife and three daughters were being subjected too much to the pressure of the game. "My wife and daughters. aged 15 and 12, ran out of supermarkets where they could shop without being in sulted," said Albert. "My old est daughter, Nancy, quit com ing to football games this year because she couldn't stand to sit in the stands and hear her father called a bum. "My second daughter, Janie quit coming about a month ago; and my wife, who was sick, missed her first home game last week. When we won, she decided not to come any more, because she thinks she brings the team bad luck. plus your ratreadobf tira puts any Gates firm en yoor car H rix, I OUT OF ACXION-Don Peek, above, senior letterman guard, has been lost to the Medford high basketball team for a month or more.
