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.

I'm worried about right now

will be ready for Sunday's
climactic game against the
Cleveland Browns.
Hughes missed last Sun
day's game against the Lions
at Detroit because of a sore
neck but left a hospital bed
to work out with the club
Thursday. Following the
workout, the former Tulsa
star said he will "give it a
try" against the Browns.
However, two of the Giants'
other Key operatives still are
regarded as doubtful starters.
They are Pat Summerall, the
team s place-kicking special
ist, and Jack Stroud, rugged
offensive lineman.
Because of the cold weather
and the frozen condition of
the Yankee Stadium turf, the
Giants limited Thursday's
workout to an hour of signal
drills. ,
