Oosterbaan Named
Week's Mentor By UP
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UP) -Theirs
was a frustration ol many
years.
, Even with an authentic reputa
tion as a national football power,
there was ona team they couldn't
beat.
Canadian
Pros Have
Problems
" CALGAHY tfl Trouble rocked
... Canadian pro football Wednesday
the Calgary Stampeders are sure
" they lost a came because a play-
er tipped off Uie opposition, and
' the Ottawa Rough Riders are
,'. shaking up their roster after fin
ing 2u players $200 each for suo-
. par pertormances.
The Stampeders, who Tuesday
fired guard Dean Bandicra after
) accusing him of revealing their
: plays to the Winnipeg Blue Bomu-
ers. were reported considering t
request to Western Interprovincial
Football Union officials for a re-
) play of last Saturday's game. The
.- Bo-r.bava won it, 13-12.
It ceemed unlikely such a
nq'icst would be honored, how.
t.-ver Leasue President Jack Row.
! and already has commented he
didn't "think it really mattered
much because Winnipeg probably
I already knew the Calgary plays
S anyway."
I Bandicra denied the charge.
"I'm innocent of everything they
accused me of," he said. "Just be-
" cause I happen to be friendly with
fa certain player on the Winnipeg
W team, they accuse me of divulging
3 plays.
m There was no comment from
3 the Winnipeg club owners or play.
B ers on tire matter.
SThe Ottawa players were fined
$100 for each of the Inst two
games. The club announcement
said the fines were imposed "for
failure to exhibit the caliber of
S football of which the players are
H capable. ,
? The announcement added "im-
mediate steps are being taken to
2 secure replacements in an en
5 deavor to strengthen the team.
v Thi Ri Vctwr cluh did not identi
fy fy Uie players or reveal how many
9 American imports were involved,
f Tlie Rough Riders were whipped
v 35-7 and 43-6 in two weekend
2 games with Montreal. The team
record is 2-6 this season.
But Saturday It happened. Those
wondrous Wolverines of Michigan
spiked the big guns of the Army
Cadets, winning 26-2 for the first
time and making easy-going Bon
nie Oosterbaan the United Press
coach of Uie Week.
Oosterbaan, who takes matters
in stride in an ulcer-producing pro
fession where most guys don't
dare to relax from September
through December, admits "that
was one of the real big victories
for us since I took over as coach
back in 1948."
But it didn't surprise him.
SUSTAINED DRIVES
I think we're capable of doing
better." he reasoned. "We haven't
had a long sustained march yet,
not even In the Missouri game
when we scored 42 points. I'd
really like to see a few of those
70 and 80 yard drives."
Oosterbaan. who was named
coach of the year In his first sea
son, could be heading for the same
honor again because the victory
over the Cadets boosted Michigan
to the top in the weeklv ratings
of the United Press Board of
Coaches.
There was no special poinlina
for Ajmy's legions, who had won
every game played since the series
started In 1945. But the Wolverines
were ready.
"It is an odd feeling getting
ready for a big game like that
one with Oosterbaan as your
coach," said ono player. "You
don't really feel as if you arc
being coached but all of a sudden
you are out there doing the right
thing because unconsciously you
have learned from him."
PREDECESSOR
Oosterbaan, friendly, easy to
know and not as aloof as his pre
decessor, Ritz Crtzzler, likes to
work on the practice field with
baseball cap cocked to one side
of his head.
He has been coaching at Michi
gan since 1928, the year he was
graduated after being an All
America end. He was an assistant
coach in football, baseball and
basketball, and in 1938 became
head basketball coach. He kept
that job for eight years until
switching back' to football as the
number one assistant to crisier.
When Crisier gave up as coach
after bringing the all-victorious
1947 team in with a 49-0 victory
in the Rose Bowl against South
ern California, Oosterbaan took
over.
He kept the victory string intact
the following year and succeeded
Crisier as coach of the year.

Top Topic In
I Olympic Talk
J SAN FRANCISCO W Who Is
going to win the 1956 Olympic
t Games , at Melbourne, the United
States or Russia?
J American sports fans find that
question a good topic for spirited
S debate. Bui members of the In-
ternational Olympic Committee
S find it a fearsome thing, a dang
I er to their cherished ideals of
i Olvmnic comnetition.
J With physical arrangements tor
J the Melbourne games nearing
H completion, the men behind the
S Olympics are turning their attcn-
S tion more and more to the fierce
n nationalism that spawns the ques-
j tion and keeps It alive.
"The Olympic Games are con-
S tests between individuals," presi
9 ciint Avery Brundage of the in-
J ternational committee said
J Wednesday. "They are not and
J they must not become contests
N between nations to decide the su-
i periority of one nation over an-
2 other, or of one political system
u over another."
5 Biundage and Lewis Luxton,
chairman of the organizing com-
mittee for next year's games,
S pleaded with newsmen to do what
they could to abolish or. at least
m minimize the use of any unofficial
J point system to determine the lead
J lng teams in Olympic competition.
S Luxton said point systems were
5 ridiculous. "How," he asked, "can
you balance a gold medal won by
f tiny Luxembourg against a gold
j! medal won by the United States?
How can you balance a gold medal
J won in the marathon against a
5 gold medal for being a member
a of the championship gymnastics
team?"

The loan, in addition to $75,000
raised by a public sale of stock

limited the $150,000 figure quoted

chase the club to John C. Sttgl
meier and Harry Bisgeier.

Trabert
Joins Pro
Net Ranks
LOS ANGELES W Top tennis
player Tony Trabert today faced
a new ana strenuous career on uie
courts of the world and a chance
to earn $100,000 as a newly turned
proiessional.
The strapping 23-year-old star
from Cincinnati, the 1955 Wimble
don and United States amateur
champion, formally signed a 16
month contract to play for and
against promoter Jack Kramer
Today both the veteran Kramer
and Trabert sat back to await word
from two other prospective mem
bers of the tour. Ken Rosewall
and Lewis Hoad of Australian
Davis Cup fame.
Kramer said the two young
Aussles havo until Oct. 17 to make
UP their minds about quitting the
amateur ranks. He said he believes
they will accept his terms, a re
ported $50,000 apiece.
Kramer admitted the Trabert
contract was better than the
$75,000 he guaranteed Frank Sedg
man of Australia several years
ago, and he said that if all goes
well, crew-cropped Tony should
gross $100,000 for the 290 matches
he faces.
Kramer also revealed that Tra-
bert's oomract has two clauses,
one contingent on a two-man tour
with himself, and the olher and
better one based on the presence
of the two young Aussies. Kramer,
34, may be in for rough competi
tion.
In Manila. Hoad acknowledged
Kramer had offered him about
$50,000 but that he wouldn't make
a decision until he returned to
Australia later this week. Rosewall
said he would not decide until
he talked to his parents.
