peculation Migh On Coach For San Francisco 49'ers San Francisco - (OT) - The speculation on a new coach to replace Frankie Albert reached all-out proportions Saturday even as the San Francisco Forty Niners pre pared for their last game of the year against the divisional champion Baltimore Colts. The names mentioned ran all the way from successful college head mentors to third assistant pro coaches. Meanwhile, there was bus iness as usual at the Forty Niner office and a sell-out crowd of 60,000 is anticipated for the Albert "goodbye to coaching" story. "I will not enter Into any speculation on the new coach," said Forty Niner president Vic Morabito. "But we antici pate no trouble getting the man we want." The rumors ran that these men were "first in lines" for the job: 1 Red Hickey, now an as sistant to Albert. 2 Eddie Erdlatz, a "favor ite son" who has had amaz ing success at Navy for the past few years. 3 Bud Wilkinson, the Ok lahoma coach who always gets a nod when there is a major opening in the coaching ranks. 4 Frank Leahy, ex-Notre Dame coach, who might be lured out of retirement. 5 Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf, former California coach now chief of personnel for the Forty Niners. 6 Dick Gallagher, current line coach for the Cleveland Browns and former coach of the Bay area Santa Clara football team. . There were others named and it is probable that Mo rabito has someone in mind that never has come up for consideration among the lo cal followers of the Forty Niners. The Forty Niner players were solid in their praise for Albert as a coach when they heard that he was quitting. "It was a disappointing sea son for everyone," said Quar terback Y. A. Tittle, who will call the signals against Balti more today. "But I think Frank did an outstanding job If we win tomorrow, it will be a 6-6 season, which is only two games off our best rec ord the 8-4 mark we had last year in tieing for the western division title."
