afford to ignore. but that he def
nitely has not made any decision,
much less resigned.
Some of the rumors had men
toned Sid Gilman. University Of

Fesler, a diplomat. also politely
declined to be drawn into any

IT have complete confidence in
the officials OF the game" said
Fesler. If California is offside,
anticipate that California will
be penalized. But I'm not going
to yell before I'm hurt
He repeated that his scout re-
