That's when West took over with eight straight points to boost the Mountaineers into a 54-38 half time margin. Richmond never came close thereafter and Coach Fred Schaus yanked the Mountain eer regulars after they opened up a 70-41 bulge with six minutes gone in the second half.

(UPD The Green Bay PacRers have re vamped the front office to give me general manager complete power to run the ball club, and were looking today for the man who can make the team into a National Football league contender again. Just where present General Manager Verne Lewellen and Coach Ray McLean stand after the organizational shake- up was in doubt. The streamlining of the front office organization that had brought so much criticism left the jobs of both men in tact, but also opened the door for their ouster should they not fit into the plans of the man selected to take charge of the club. Trim to Six The changes announced by Dominic Olejniczak, Packer president, said the club would seek a "general manager with complete responsibility for all phases of operation including coaching." The changes also Included the trimming of the 13-man executive committee down to six members, the elimination of the posts of chairman of the board and second vice president, and the end to weekly meetings by the execu tive committee at which a re view of each Sunday's game formerly was held. Top heaviness in the front office which divided respon sibility for hiring and firing of personnel has received much of the blame for the Packers' poor records in re cent years.
