ment telling why more funds are
needed and how the service pro-
poses to use them.
The statement emphasized that
the conservation of ducks and
geese can be accomplished in a
number of ways. One of the most
important is to limit the bag. AS
long as sportsmen live up to the
imposed limit. things 60 along all
right. However, the minute they
don't, the whole conservation eff
fort is thrown out of balance
Too many sportsmen have a diff
ferent idea about living up to the
laws governing their sport than
they do about other laws affecting
everyday activities. Some cheat
a little here and there, and some
cheat a lot. So to keep these
cheaters from upsetting the apple
cart, someone has to enforce the
law. Otherwise we'd soon have a
closed season, with no hunting for
anyone.
It was never intended that law
enforcement of migratory bird
laws should be the sole duty of
the Fish and Wildlife Service. 1t
has always been a basic principle
that State law enforcement agents
are the backbone of duck and
geese protection. However. in
sufficient manpower has kept the
Fish and Wildlife Service from
doing it's part of the job.

Harmony at Navy Is Stressed
As Grid Coaches Meet Press
By Lewis F. Atchison

Lack of cooperation between
the front Office and coaching staff
will not be one of Nays football
problems in 1850 if yesterdays
little clambake at Annapolis was
any indication.
I'VE know Eddie's got profess
sional ability" commented Capt.
Howard Caldwell, boss of the ath-
letic department, speaking of
Eddie Erdelatz, the new head
coach who succeeded George
Sauer. Hes been here before
and knows how we operate. We
understand one another"
Erdelatz, big. pleasant anG
diplomatic fellow. proved the cap
tain's point a few minutes later
while answering question. He
explained how he intended to han
del certain situation in coach
ing personnel, ending with tact
full with the captains approval
of course"
That's the way Navy likes to
operate but there was no evidence
yesterday that the 36-year- old
Erdelatz won't have all the elbow
room he needs in re-arranging
the Crabtown football scenery.
Two Aides Meet the Press.
Both Caldwell, who bears a
striking resemblance to Owner Art
Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers,
and Comdr. Dusty Dornin, a for
mer Navy star, seemed ready to
climb into football suits and play
for Erdelatz If it would help. The
situation yesterday was in striking
contrast to Sauer's polite but some
what restrained introduction a
couple of years ago.
Erdelatz, assistant coach of the
San Francisco Ayers last year,
brought along two assistants, Len
EshmOnt and Don R. Clark, to
meet the press. They'seemed trim
enough to suit up and play and
Erdelatz said that was one reason
he wanted them on the staff. He
likes men who practice what they
preach.
Eshmont, who will coach the
backs, played under Jimmy Crow
| ley at Fordham-the same year
that Frank Leahy turned out the
famous seven blocks of granite"
for the Rams. Len spent one pro
year with the Giants and then
hoped over to the Ayers.
Clark, Southern California
alumnus, will coach the line. He
let his elders do all the talking
yesterday but two years with the
49'ers as an offensive guard and
defensive line-backer are pretty
good coaching credentials. Clark
won a field commission in the
Army during the war and was in
the Battle of the Bulge.
Will Use 49'ers Strategy.
frankie Albert, 49'er quarter
back, will join the staff later this
month to school the quarterback

Al Wittmer Dies at s.;
Former Princeton Coach
By the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Mar. 10.-Al-
bert Wittmer, SO, former Prince
ton football and basketball coach,
died today at the home Of a sister.
Mr.. Wittmer, a one-time New
Jersey legislator, died of a coro-
nary occlusion shortly after q
birthday celebration last night
He had served as a State assem-
blyman during the 1930s.
. While a student at Princeton he
was captain of the basketball team
in 1922 when it won the Eastern
intercollegiate championship.
Mr.. Wittmer served as Prince
tons assistant football coach
under Bill Roper from 1922 to
1880, and became head coach for
one year in 1881. He was head
basketball coach from 1922 to
1881.
III health forced his retirement
and Mr.. Wittmer came to Pitts
burgh, his native city, to live with
a sister, Mrs. Frank Merriman.

The game will be played at
Charleston, S. c., on November 4,
q week before the Cavaliers tangle
with their greatest rivals, William
and Mary's Indians.
Pritchett also said the Cavaliers
game with North Carolina def

uled both West Virginia and North
Carolina for October %. Under

trow. Erdelatz intends to use the
49'er strategy as far as possible
at Navy"
Statistics show it was the best
in the All America Conference. :"
he said, obviously not referring to
winning scores. "On a dry field
we beat the Cleveland Browns,
Sc to %. They beat us in the rain
and mud but we were badly out
weighed"
Cleveland won the champion
ship all four years of the AAC's
existence.
Erdelatz, who was end coach
at Navy under Tom Hamilton in
1945 and '46, will get his first peek
at the 1850 squad Monday when
the midshipmen report for ap-
proximately six weeks of spring
practice. Eddie said he has seen
movies of the 1948 Navy team and
didn't scrutinize them for per-
sonal performances, but merely
to get the overall picture.
Skeptical of PIebes.
Somebody suggested that last
seasons powerful plebe squad
would be big help this year, but
Caldwell threw cold water on the
idea. The plebe record could
run for Sweeney, the captain in
dictated. He preferred to wait and
see if three or four of last years
plebe stars delivered in varsity
competition.
Erdelatz apparently is stepping
into his new berth with wide
open eyes, soberly contemplating
a tough schedule that features
an early game with Maryland.
But there was a feeling around
the luncheon table that the team
he sends out for the opening
kickoff will be well drilled in
fundamentals and full Of the old
Navy kickapoo.
The strongest impression yester-
day was that Nays morale in
1850 will be at flood tide for the
first time in several years.
