NIL Clubs Open
Meeting Today .
In Angeles

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 16 R.-
The National Football League
opens its first West Coast bust
ness meeting today, with the top
order of activity-the draft OF
college players for l956-probably
starting tomorrow evening.
Commissioner Bert Bell said a
definite time for the draft is still
unsettled. But he thinks it will be
started late tomorrow and pos
sibly may not wind up until
Wednesday morning.
The agenda otherwise is full OF
routine matters. Bell said, and
nothing sensational is expected.
He will argue for his pet prof.
|ect. a rule change making the
ball dead when a ball carrier goes
down after bodily contact with a
defensive player. Under the pres
ent pro rule, the runner can re-
gain his feet and continue until
fiattened for keeps. This encour-
ages piling UP Of players. Bell
contends.
All such proposed changes
require at least 10 favorable votes
of the II cast.
Proposals also include banning
face masks and all helmet pro-
jections, barring an injured player
from returning to action in the
same quarter in which he is hurt,
and barring substitutions in the
final so seconds Of each half.
It also win be urged that the
receiving team have the option
on kickoffs of taking the ball
where it goes out Of bounds or Of
making the kicking team kick
again. Out-of-bounds kicks now
draw an automatic five-yard
penalty.
At least two new head coaches
will be welcomed into the fold.
frankie Albert bows in as boss OF
the San Francisco Forty-Niners

The eight Atlantic Coast Con-

lost a total of only eight Of 43
games this season to outside
teams and three of the ACC out
fits are undefeated in non-con-
ference play as the season passes
the halfway mark.
The ACC has three teams in
the top 10 in the AP poll-N. G.

STATISTICS

he made in the final seconds Of
this National Football League
all-star clash in Memorial Coli
scum yesterday before crowd
of 37.867.
It an came about when the
West, trailing $3.50, tried a So
ward field goal by Bert Recfli-
char of the Baltimore Colts. The
kick was obviously short OF its
mark and was caught by Scooter
Scudero of the Washington Red
skins.
The question was whether
Scudero caught the ball on the
two-yard line, as most observers
believe, and then almost casually
took step or two back and
grounded the ball in the end
zone or whether he caught it on
the goal line and was forced
back into the end zone by the
momentum of the ball, or wheth-
er he actually caught 1t in the
end zone.
Ruled Touchback
At any rate, the field judge
ruled it an automatic touchback
and the ball was placed on the
East 20 a moment before the
game ended.
Coach Sid Gilman of the West.
as did some of his players right
on the spot, argued that the East
should have been charged Win
an automatic safety-and the
West given two points.
Mike Wilson. the leagues
superintendent of officials, issued
this brief announcement:
ION the last play the field
Judge said the ball went through
the plane (goal line) Of the END
zone"
The ruling meant that Scudero
caught the ball in the end zone.
Gilman added that movies Of
the game would show otherwise.
Regardless Of the outcome OF
Il the controversy. the score stands
land nothing can detract from the
brilliant performance OF Ollie
Matson, the East's ball-carrying
wizard from the Chicago Cardi-
mails.
1 Matson returned the second
half kickoff 81 yards for touch
down, ran is yards over most OF
the West team for a second score
and galloped so yards on punt

ran IA yards to set up his score.

Detroit Lions got the contest
i off to an explosive start by
racing 103 yards with the OPEN
ing kickoff for a West touch
down.

and from then on there was

Southwest Indians

The Papagos of the Southwest
are second in size of population to
the Navajos. This constitutes
some $4,000 families, of which a
little more than 200 have been
able to relocate in areas off the
reservation. The Papagos and
other Southwest tribes are taking
the initiative in developing their
own leadership and planning their
own development. Those who have
gone off OF the reservation have
taken skilled jobs and a few are
now beginning to enter the pro-
LESSONS.
The Pagago development pro-
gram is geared to the rehabilita-
ton of the existing tribal lands
and to give help to some of the
people now on reservation to move
away and set up for themselves.
As valuable as this program is as
an example of grass-roots initia-
tive, the Congress has failed to
stimulate II by the appropriation
Of enabling monies. The public
needs TO become informed on the
problem of this group. and the
public must urge Congress to take
bold steps to aid this long ex-
plotted group. What the Indians
need most of all. perhaps, is the
opportunity TO make their own
decisions about their own future.
even if this means the right TO
make the mistakes which their
protectors have been making for
them.
