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.".

'Get Even' Sunday
Bn Pro Footbaflfl
By EARL WRIGHT
United Press International
This is "get event" Sunday
in the National Football
league.
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-

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

Cleveland has allowed only
86 points, the league's best
mark. The Browns have been

games and face a Washington
