Sightseeing
PASADENA, Calif. (flV-Michigan
State's Rose Bowl squad was leg
weary today, more from a busy
round of sightseeing than from
football workouts.
The social whirl has halted
however, and Uie squad will settle
down to concentrate on football.
"I want them to be tired at this
stage of the game," said Coach
Duffy Daugherty. "It's a good
thine to have them dragging a lit
tie and the outside stuff out of
,their systems.
"We planned these organized
tours so they wouldn t be cnasing
around in cars on their own.
They'll be getting a steady diet of
football from now on."
The only remaining extra cur-
riculnr activity for the squad is
the Big Ten diner Friday night.
UCLA knocked off entirely yester
day. Coach Red Sanders said the
one-day layoff was decided on be
cause partly because of a muddy
practice field and also to give
some minor injuries a chanco to
heal.
Both teams scheduled afternoon
practices from now on in.
The MSU squad muddied its uni
forms in a two-hour morning drill
yesterday. The players were hit
ting the dummies with a solid
whack but coaches didn't regard
jit as too good.
"I don't want them too sharp at
this point," Daugherty said. "If
they were, they would be stale be
fore the game."

Aging Willie Pep, out to regain
the world featherweight title, and
young Andy Arel, out to win fame
in his first "big money" fight,
meet tonight in a 10-round nation
ally televised bout.
Win, lose or draw, the 22-year-old
Arel, from Masscna, N.Y., will
pocket at least $5,000 from the
fight, his first television appear
ance. Arel previously has nevtr
earned more than $400 for any one
fight.
But the up-and-coming southpaw
Is likely to have plenty of trouble
when he steps into the ring against
tne determined Pep at the Miami
Beach Auditorium. Pep is favored
at 5-1.
Pep. in his late 30's, has been
trying for a comeback and figures
a win over Arel could help him
get the big chance he wants a
shot at Sandy Saddler's crown.
Arel has more to win than Pep
does. A victory before the national
audience could put him in the
limelight for keeps and give him
a ranking that might lead to a title
shot for him. If Pep wins. It will
be just another triumph In his long
string.

Fed Up
With Fans
Bv HAL WOOD
United Press Sports Writer '
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) An
thony J. (Tony) Morabito, the
controversial president of the San
Francisco Forty Niners, is getting
a bit fed up naving otner people
announce his new coach.
"It seems everybody knows my
business 1000 per cent better than
I do," says Tony. "But I guess
everyone is entitled to his or her
own opinion."
It is doubtful that Morabito
ever will understand newspaper
men and it may be that news
papermen never will understand
Tony.
Actually. Morabito has a million
dollar company in the Forty
Niners and, in an ordinary busi
ness, he should be- able to run it
as he wants.
But it so happens that the thou
sands of fans of the San Francisco
Bay area, who make the organl.
zation a success, demand a voice
in running the organisation just
as uiey ao in DaseDall or any oth
er sport.
NO COMMENT
Last year when the rumor got
out that Buck Shaw was on the
pan, newspapermen called up
Tony and asked about it.
"No comment," Tony answered
to his later sorrow. For months
after that he was referred to as
No Comment Morabito."
This year when Red Strader
was under fire, Morabito couldn't
De drawn into a "no comment"
phrase but he got lambasted
nevertheless, for failure to make
an out-and-out statement.
"I hold back to make a thorough
study of the situation." Tony ex
plains. "Everything I do is for the
best interests of the club, in my
belief. Therefore, I don't want to
make any snap judgment on the
nirmg or tiring of a coach."
Tony is withstanding the pres
sure pretty well these days.
Groups of loyal supporters have
been suggesting to him that
Frankie Albert or Red Hlckey or
Chuck Taylor or Eddie Erdlaus
or Bud Wilkinson would be just
the man for the job.
But Morabito Is looking over
ine neia to una tne man he be
lieves is the perfect coach.
BACKFIRE ADVICE
It has reached the point where
Tony is becoming adverse to tak
ing uie newspaper wrueis au
vice. During the past season, one
columnist called him a "cheap
skate" because he wouldn't let
the kids in the end zones keen the
footballs that were kicked on
point-after-touchdown. Tonv didn't
like that, so he Mowed the lads
to rush out for the ball.
In two weeks there was such a
mob scene in the end Bones every
time the ball was kicked that
youngsters were getting injured
in the crush and It took a score
of policemen to put a halt to the
running.
"That was one bit of advice I
never should have taken," said
Morabito.
So, despite all the helpful hints
he has been getting from letter
writers and columnists. It is doubt
ful that Tonv will let the local
people pick his coach.

USGA Tells
Changes For
Coming Year
NEW YORK (UP) The United
Slates Golf Assn. today announced
the release of two revised man
uals the playing rules of the
game, and the rules of amateur
status.
Major changes in both, approved
by the USOA and the Royal and
Ancient Club of St. Andrews, Scot
land, In an effort to standardize
the game In Britain and the United
States, had been announced last
September.
The playing rules contain two
major changes and several minor
ones. The major changes are:
1. In match and stroke play, .the
player playing the stroke will have
sole control of the flagstlck (rather
than opponent having any control)
If player's ball strikes unattended
flagstlck, there Is no penally (this
was previous penalized). If play
er's ball strikes attended flagstlck,
the player Is penalized.
2. In match play, on the putting
green, the player who is away
and shooting may ask to have a
ball nearer the hole lifted If he
believes It will interfere with his
niav. The ball's owner has no con
trol. In stroke play, the player
who is away and shooting may
ask the ball s owner to lit t it or
shoot first, the choice being left to
the owner. In stroke play only.
If the ball's owner thinks his "ball
may Interfere with player who is
away and snooting, ne may piay
first but he may not lift it,
unless the away player gives him
the choice by asking.
These and the several other
minor changes take effect Jan. 1,
1958.
The rules on an amateur status
emphasize a prohibition against
acceptance of compensation or ex
penses for personal appearances,
as a golfer, on television and radio
or at testimonial dinners. .

Coaches Plot
How To Stop
High Scorers
NEW YORK (UP) R 1 v a
coaches plotted today how to stop
All-Americans Bill Russell of San
Francisco and Slhugo Green of Du
quesne In tonight's semi - final
round of the Holiday Festival Bas
ketball Tournament at Madison
Square Garden,
San Francisco's national cham
pions are a six-point favorite over
Holy Cross In one scml - final,
and UCLA Is a two-point pick over
defending champion Duquesne In
the other.
Holy Cross Coach Roy Lccnlng
said he is going to leave the job
of stopping slx-10 Russell strictly
up to his own classy center, six
seven All-America candidate Tom
Helnsohn. Russell scored 26 point
in the opening round and Heln
sohn 36.
"I will be only too happy to do
so," said Leenlg when asked if
Helnsohn would defend agninst
Russell man-for-man. "But I'.1, tell
you one thing I'll bet 8an Fran
cisco doesn't assign Russell to
guard Helnsohn."
Coach Phil Wool pert of San
Francisco said Leenlg was right
Russell won't defend man-for-man
against Helnsohn. But Woolpert
said it's not because he's afraid.
He wants Russell to play a "float
ing" defense because he Is best
at roaming around and blocking
shots by all the opposing players.
Coach Johnny Wooden of UCLA
said he was "tremendously Im
pressed with Oreen's court man
ner" In Duquesne's opening-round
victory and said he might assiun
two or three men to guard the
six-three, all-around whiz. That
would leave the other Duke play
ers somewhat free, but even bu
quesne Coach Donald (Dudey)
Moore admits his team is some
thing of a one-man outfit.

Bud Wilkinson the greatest con
cern as ne rounds his team Into
snape for the Orange Bowl foot
ball game.
While Oklahoma Is primarily a
rushing team and ranked first In
the country In that respect during
the 1955 season, the Sooners spent
most of yesterday's two heavy
workouts on aerial offense.
The practice schedule indicated
that Wilkinson wants to be pre
pared to take to the air If his
speedy ground attack is blocked by
the rocky Maryland defense.
"In most games," he said, "you
ininK mat you mignt nave an ad'
vantnge over the other team some
where , and you exploit that ad
vantage , . . But we know of no
department in which we have an
advantage over Maryland. We
have to work on everything. Our
biggest problem, I guess. Is to
make sure that we commit no
mistakes."

Tatum said he installed a new
play for the Orange Bowl game
with Oklahoma two years ago and
he strongly suspects that someone
tipped off Wilkinson because "as
