Verducci Furnishes Coach Color By HAL WOOD San Francisco (DPD Finest bit of "color" in the college coaching ranks in the West these days is furnished by a fellow named Joe Verducci -athletic director, head foot ball coach and one-time may or of the town, for San Fran cisco State. If Verducci (pronounced Ver-dooch-ee) can get by little Chico State Saturday, he'll have a 10-0 record for the season, including two wins over San Quentin. And he'll have the Far West conference championship. "No other coachtcan make that statement,'-' adds Ver ducci. The little guy, one-time University of California quar terback and former head coach at St. Mary's college, is one of the few out-spoken mentors in the game. Always Has an Answer When asked a question he has "an answer. He doesn't hem and haw and beat around the bush. If he thinks officiating was lousy, he'lL say. so in public. If one of his boys has a bad day, he'll tell him. If the lad has a good day, lil Joe will be the first to tell, the public. Verducci isn't adverse to getting a little publicity him-self-but . not at the expense of his boys. ' Scouts For Forty Niners "V erdooch" not only coaches the Gators, but on Sundays he scouts the San Francisco Forty Niners for other major league pro clubs. And he touts any of his boys he believes may have a chance to make a go of it in the pro game. ' Verducci campaigned against the banning of "pla toons" and the elimination of unlimited substition in col lege football. "I think more youngsters should get a chance to play," he' claimed, "If we have un limited substitution, more would get into every game.".

All six games match teams which have met before this season. Sweeping the home-and-home series with a rival during the season is one of the league's toughest tasks. That means six coaches are "running scared" Sunday and five of them have teams in the thick of the division races. Coach Red HIckey's San Francisco Forty - Niners, two games in front in the Western division, provide a typical ex ample of Sunday's setup in their clash with the Bears at Chicago. The Bears (3-4) seek revenge for a 20-17 defeat suffered last month at San Francisco.' The oddsmakers figure they'll get it, tabbing the' Forty-Niners (6-1) two point underdogs. Coach Weeb jlwbank's Bal timore Colts, defending league champions, are closest to San Francisco. The Colts (4-3) are 9 point favorites to down the Green Bay Packers (3-4) at Milwaukee. The Packers lost recently at Baltimore, 38-21. - Must Beat Pittsburgh Coach Jim Lee Howell's New York Giants (6-1) must whip the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4-1) to assure themselves of maintaining their one-game lead over the Cleveland Browns (5-2) in the Eastern race. The Giants are IVi point choices to defeat the team they had to sweat to edge at Pittsburgh, 21-16. Paul Brown's Cleveland club visits Washington and is favored over the Redskins (3-4) by 714 points. The Browns whipped the Red skins at Cleveland, 34-7, but Washington upset the Colts last week and may be tougher to handle this time. Coach Buck Shaw's Eagles (4-3) are two games behind the Giants and entertain the Chicago Cardinals (2-5) at Philadelphia. The Eagles ral lied for a .28-24 triumph over the Cardinals at' Minneapolis and are four-point choices to down the Chicago club again.- It's the same story in the other game. The Los Angeles Rams (2-5) visit the Lions (1-5-1) and are 2 point choices to revenge the 17-7 defeat Detroit handed them in California. Defense, as usual, rules the league and the Forty Niners, Giants and Browns will throw three of the top defensive units at their Sun day foes. The Bears, who won their, last two games after losing four of their first five, will try to dent a San Francisco defense that has allowed only 88 points. The Forty-Niners lead the league in scoring with 189. They began a rugged road trip last week by winning at Los Angeles and play in Baltimore and Cleveland after Chicago be- Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. -(DPD - Vice President Richard Nixon "played politics" Thurs- dav when he declined to pre dict the 1959 National Foot ball league champion at a press conference. Nixon hedeed bv saying that on any given Sunday any team in the league could beat any otner. He cjted Washington's upset of the Baltimore Colts's last week end as an example. THOR FIRING SUCCESS , .

New York has allowed only 35 points in sweeping its last five starts and the defensive platoon may get another stiff workout against Pittsburgh. New York's top quarterbacks, Charley Conerly and George Shaw, are hampered by in juries. Cleveland has allowed only 86 points, the league's best mark. The Browns have been clicking offensively in recent games and face a Washington defense that has allowed more points than any other club, 195. Don Bosseler, Washing ton's fullback, is injured.
