Erdelatz' Enthusiasm Rubs Off By SCOTT BAILLIE San Francisco - OJPU - Eddie Erdelatz, coach of the atrug gling Oakland Raiders, stood in the locker room doorway Sunday afternoon with broad grin on his beefy face, And he had a good reason, for his "victory desire" had rubbed off onto his rag tag group of pros. 'The guys knew they had to win this game," Eddie said after posting a 20-7 triumph over the Buffalo Bills in rugged American Foot ball league joust. "And they went out and did It. They had that desire. This was the Erdelatz of College years talking - the coaching genius whose infec tive enthusiasm made Navy into a power house. The Raiders, hitting like French 75 in liquid form or otherwise, climbed out of the western division cellar while working over the Bll'.s before a crowd of 8,800 at Kezar sta dium. And the club had something else - shifty Tony Teresa who had been coaching high school football in his native Salinas then decided to return to ac- tion this season. 83-Yard Touchdown The 25 -year -old halfback who starred as a quarterback at San Jose State five seasons ago, got off an 83 yard touch down run against the Bills and also set up Larry Barnes' sec ond field goal with a 33 yard dash followed by a 14 yard pass to Alan Goldstein. "We caught Buffalo in certain type of defense we were expecting them to use and that's how we sprang Tony loose, Erdelatz said Yes, I think we've been im proving with each game. And our pass defense was better after we made several changes among our deep backs. John Green, who flung four touchdown passes at the Raid ers on Oct. 23 while the Bills Were trampling them, 39-8, in Buffalo, clicked on only 14 out of 32 tosses Sunday for 133 yards. He had amassed 378 yards In the air against Oakland in their earlier game. And a solid defense, headed by Riley Morris, rushed Green badly on occasions. On oth ers, the former Chattanooga University star saw his perfect tosses dropped by receivers who were in something of a slump. - Clarence Peaks Lost By Eagles Phlladelphia-IUPD - Fullback Clarence Peaks, enjoying his best year in professional .oot- ball, was lost to the Phila delphia Eagles for the remain der of the season today be cause of a broken leg.

Chairman Says Politics Wrecked Gold Cup Races Las Vegas, Nev.-OIPD-Seattle and Detroit opened spirited bidding today to get the 1961 Gold Cup races for their cities. But conspicuous by Its ab sence in the bidding was Las Vegas. This gambling city figures it "got took" by the hydro plane racers who refused to compete on the choppy waters of Lake Mead on either Satur day or Sunday -thus forcing cancellations of the event and disappointing tens of thous ands of spectators who had flocked to the shores of the lake. They waited in vain from early morning to late af ternoon for some action. The drivers and owners blamed winds of IS to 30 miles an hour that put tiny white caps on the waves of the man-made lake. Different Idea But Bob Cardinal, race chairman and president of the Lake Mead Cup association, had a different idea. "We were killed by politics among the drivers and own ers," said Cardinal. "The drivers who went out early were afraid the drivers who got a later starting time would have the advantage: or the late starters were afraid the early men to start would get the help of calmer waters. "So they both voted against competing. They did not con sider the spectators and the men who had worked for McCARDLE FIRST Indianapolis, Ind. - Peter McCardle of the New York Athletic club won the AAU 30-kilometer road-running championship Saturday in one hour, 35 minutes and 42 seconds. Old Pros' Pay Off in Wins By NORMAN MILLER United Press International The "old pro" quarterbacks gambled and won. And that's why the Baltimore Colts, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants have an edge to day in the race for the Na tional Football league cham pionship. Johnny Unitas of the Colts, Norm Van Brocklin of the Eagles and "Good Old Char lie" Conerly of the Giants took a chance that paid off in victory, when failure would have meant a serious setback in the pressure-packed battle for the pro title. Unitas passed up a chance for a field goal, and on fourth down with 14 yards to go he threw a 39 - yard touchdown pass to Lenny Moore with 42 seconds left on the clock to give Baltimore a 24-20 victory over the Chicago Bears. Seventh Try Good Van Brocklin, frustrated by six straight incomplete passes, faded back for a seventh try on fourth down with 8 to go and connected on a 28-yard touchdown toss to Bobby Wal- ston in the final period as the Eagles rallied for a 19-13 vie tory over the Washington Red skins. And Conerly, who is 39, slow of foot and risks life and limb every time he carries the ball, broke loose for runs of 12 and 16 yards to set up Pat Summerall'3 37-yarc field goal which gave the Giants a 27-24 win over the Pittsburgh Steel- ers. Summerall s kick was made with 30 seconds left to play. STANDINGS PRO FOOTBAI.l, National League (Eastern Division) WLT Pet.

Tom Fears' Hat Fails As Charm Detroit IUPU Tom Fears, presently employed as end coach of the Los Angeles Rams, was out looking for a new hat today. rears, a 'former great on the team and a member of the world championship squad of 1951, punched a hole through his old hat Sunday The bonnet had failed him. Actually Fears' chapeau was far from ancient. In fact, it was just about a month old He had picked it up just be fore the Rams tied the Chi cago Bears in their National Football, league game at Los Angeles, and claimed the hat was lucky. It may have been at that. The Rams, losers of 12 NFL games in succession over two year span, suddenly sprang to life. After their tie with the Bears, they won two in a row over the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys. Fears wouldn't let anybody near the hat. But the lovely acquaintance between Tom and his topper fell flat Sunday. The magic' wore off and the Rams lost to the Lions 12-10 before a pacity crowd of 54,019 in Briggs Stadium. Fears vented his feelings and the hat at the same time by punching a hole in it. Fears' action probably sum med up the feelings of the whole Ram squad frustra tion and disgust. After scoring 48 points against Detroit two weeks ago and then another 38 against the Cowboys last Sunday, the Rams had to wait until the final quarter to push over their lone touchdown of the game. Before that score Los An geles was almost neipless, as the Lions broke the Ram backs and spirits with a 98- yard touchdown drive in the third quarter. It wasn't a doy for the Rams hat or no hat. With the score knotted 3-3 quarterback Billy Wade had the Rams on the march. But the drive ended just two yards away from completion when Wade fumbled after a keeper play, and Detroit recovered on its own two. of rral ord stvle (or HiU and Hill HILL 1!

Riverside Phone Sport Parade New York -IUPU Going as fast as is humanly possible, whether on land or on sea, is a matter of "compulsion" with Donald Campbell. Campbell holds the world speedboat record of 260 miles per hour. And he was merely winding up at 365 miles per hour on the Bonneville salt flats this year in his aim to reach 425 or even 500 miles per hour with an automobile. Then he flipped. Why? Simply compulsion, Back, in 1898 a 12-year-old youngster later to become fa mous first as a speed demon and later as Sir Malcolm Campbell bicycled madly down a hill in his native Chis- lehurst, England, near Lon don, with his hands in his pockets. Young Malcolm was haled into court and fined 10 shill ings for "furious riding." "And," the magistrate lec tured sternly, "let this be a lesson to you, Malcolm Camp bell, not to go so fast in the future." It was a wasted admonition. In Father's Footsteps The daredevil bicyclist went on to set land and water speed records - and stamp the im print of his yearning for speed on the soul of his young, hand some son. Thus it was that Donald Campbell came back to the salt flats this year in another of those famous family "Blue birds" in search of a new rec ord. And, strangely enough, lived to tell about it. Out at Bonneville they have an eignt-mile stretch to wind it up for the measured mile through which the mechanical monsters are driven like a shaft of light. Donald, a short and slender man with a happy sense of humor, flew the Blue bird through the first mile and a half of that windup at 365 miles per hour. He still had six and a half miles to go oetore he hit the measured mile. But then he struck a soft spot. Eighty - six manufacturers had sunk $4,500,000 into that newest of the Bluebirds. It had taken five years to put it together. The tires had been researched to the tune of $1,- ouo.ooo.

Donald Campbell cairle out of it with a hairline skull frac ture, a bruised cheek and three stitches in his right ear. And with his yearning for speed undaunted. It was the 25th anniversary of the day his famed father roared across the salt flats to a record of 301 miles per hour. Donald was only "winding it up" at 365 when the car slammed down and folded a wheel. Yet, the mere fact that ha is alive has convinced him that he has "a duty to human ity" to continue racing. "I'm alive because of Inte rior protection and the safety harness," he says. "Thousands of people are killed every year going 40 miles an hour, or even less. They wouldn't be harmed if they had tha padding and the harness, which is what the average cars should have."
