Bert Bell May Move
Into Radio Wrangle
PHILADELPHIA (UP) - The
'Roger" boys of the football field
were warned today by National
Football League Commissioner
Bert, Bell that he might jam their
wave lengths if their space cadet
antics become objectionable.
The report is out that Coach
Lynn (Pappy) Waldorf will have
to win at least two of the three
games against Stanford, Southern
California and UCLA to retain his
job at California for another
year.
The Western Open Golf Tourna
ment, recently held in San Fran
Cisco was an artistic success, but
a financial flop. Despite perfect
weather, the sponsors are expected
to drop around $15.000. . . lack of
a magid name like Snead, Hogan
or Nelson is blamed for lack of
interest in the event.
The Pro-Amateur Golf Tourna
ment like the one now under way
at the Apple Valley Country Club
here, is becoming the most pop
ular event on the golfing trail.
The stars, wearied from the ten
sion of competing for big pots of
gold, relax when they get with
the hackers. -
Vic Kelly, UCLA publicist, says
that all the talk about UCLA and
USC withdrawing from the Pacif
ic Coast Conference is ust idle
conversation by outsiders who
have nothing to say about such an
action.
Chukkar Partridge, the half
pheasant, half quail, are as thick
as fleas on a dog s back in this
resort area. "We've had as many
as 50 on our lawn at one time
during the summer months, says
Mrs. Lloyd Mangrum, wife of the
golf professional. I'But the day
the hunting season opens there

Last year Jay Hebert, Hie like
able golf professional from San
ford, Fla.,- played in only six

Rutgers
Major's
Grid Pick
The titles were the second for
both Mantle and Snider.
Mantle, who also led the junior
circuit in batting, runs batted in
and home runs, numbered 79 extra-base
hits among his 188 safe-1
tics last season. In addition to his
52 four-baggers, the 24-ycar-old
switch-hitter had 22 doubles and
5 triples.
Ted Williams of the Boston Red
Sox, runner-up to Mantle with a
.603 average, was the last player
to have a better than .705 slugging
mark. He finished with .735 in
1941.
Yogi Berra of the Yankees and
Charley Maxwell of Detroit wound
up in a third-place deadlock the
past season. Both showed .534
marks.
Snider, the National League's
leader in home runs with 43, also
cracked 33 doubles and a pair of
three-baggers among 158 hits for
324 total bases.

NEW YORK (UP)-Sal Maglie,
no-hit hero of the closing weeks
of the National League pennant
race and the Brooklyn Dodgers
opening game World Scries win
ner, was rated the top athlete of
September today in the voting for
the $10,000 Hickok Belt. Maglie
had 250 points to finish far ahead
of boxer Carmen Basilio, who had
109.
Blanda Gets
Booting Fun
CHICAGO (UP)-George Blanda,
the Chicago Bears' veteran quar
terback once called a "major
league misfit," now kicks those
words down opponents' throats.
Blanda has kicked the Bears to
11 victories and one tie in the past
seven seasons and currently sports
an uninterrupted record string of
154 extra points in National root-
ball League competition.
They used to call me a stop
gap quarterback , blanda re
caled today. "I just wanted to
make everybody, including the
coaches, eat their words."
Last year Blanda booted 11 field
goals in 16 attempts, a better
average than even that of Cleve
land s Lou Groza, who made 11 in
22 tries. This year Blanda has
made 4 of 8.

Hak-kaff! Dash it all! Football
results have been so affected by
the oratorical winds generated by
the various candidates that your
humble correspondent has been
forced to adopt a new system.
New systems are to be taken
with a grain of salt, so I am mak
ing a test run this week with only
one game of the group. The game
is Rutgers versus Boston louego.
and according to the system Rut
gers should win by a score of 20
to 13.
Now I do not often reveal my
mathematical formulas, but in this
case, I'm giving my zillions of
readers a treat and disclosing now
I arrive at that score.
Rutgers was founded in 1766 and
Boston College in 1863. Rutgers
has 14,857 students, Boston College
6,472. Rutgers has 850 teachers,
Boston College 225. Subtract 1,766
from 1.863 and you get 97. Take
the last digit, 7. which you add to
the third and fourth digits in the
number of Rutgers students 7 plus
8 plus 5 equals 20, ' ......
To eet Boston College's score you
subtract the number of teachers
there, 225, from those at Rutgers,
850. and the result is 625. Adding
these three digits wo arrive at me
figure 13. Thus the score will be
20 to 13.
I didn't use this system in the
rest .of the games because adding
and subtracting always give me a
headache.
The forecast:1 J'. ' .

Bell left little doubt that
wasn't pleased by the hassles
cropping up already in the short
season over the use of player
helmets with built in short wave
head seta for receiving instruc
tions from coaches.
The hassles included a New
York Giants' claim they monitored
the secret wave lengths of the
Cleveland Browns, didn t even
need a codebook to decipher the
plays and upset the defending
champions. Then, there were the!
bleats of the Los Angeles Rams
that they weren't given the equip
ment to operate their broadcasts
from bench to backueld.
NO PLACE .
"In my' opinion," Bell said,
"those things don't belong in foot
ball. Of course, the rules permit
coaching from the sideline, and
that s coaching.
I repeat, that a my opinion.
They don't belong. But if there's
any change to be made in the
rules, that's up to the owners at1
the next league meeting." : ,
But Bell left hanging his threat
to pull the plug on the radio
equipment if the public objects to
the use of the air except for for
ward passes in the stadiums of the
league. -
"If the practice brings discredit:
to the game, if it develops into a
fiasco, if it becomes objectionable
and if the people who pay the
freight object. I would say then
that it is detrimental to football,"
Bell said.
PROMISES ACTION
"I'll take action," he warned.
Bell admitted - squawks and
howls reminiscent of the old crys
tal sets were ringing in his ears
over the newest controversy in the
league.-
I don t know all of the circum
stances behind the complaints,"
he said. "The Rams said they
were refused facilities at Detroit.
They said they were told certain
equipment' was denied them, that
they weren t cut into the wire. If
the Lions wire the field, I think
everyone is entitled to the use of
the wire."
' Bell doesn't think radio will rev
olutionize football like it did en
tertainment back in the Roaring
Twenties.
"Football is a game of players
who play on incentive and desire,
their reflexes doing the trick. All
talking in their ears won't change
it. A great ball player is a great
ball player.
