BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star Staf Writer

SIdI 0lhu "IlIeT
Kurt Schwarz, the Maryland
tackle who was drafted a year
ahead of his class by the Red
skins, has signed to play with
the Hamilton Tigercats of the
Canadian League.
! Coach Jim Trimble of Hamil-
ton, former coach of the
Philadelphia Eagles, signed
Schwarz.
The Terps' tackle told team
mates the offer from the
Canadian team was for con-
siderable more money than he
was offered by the Redskins,
and he couldn't turn it down.
Schwarz was drafted l4th by
the Redskins last year. He is a
five-year man at Maryland.
Kurt, 218-pounder from
Hackensack, N. j., was an
honorable mention choice on
the APPS All-Atlantic Coast
Conference team this year.
He was awarded the first Jim
Tatum Memorial trophy at the
M Club Dinner as Maryland's
outstanding tackle.
And Kurt won the TEKE
award at the football banquet
for the player who contributed
the most to Maryland football
during his varsity career.
Hamilton won the Big Four
title this year behind the quar-
terbacking of Bernie Faloney,
but lost to the Western Inter-
provincial in the playoffs. Fa-

quarterback. just missed being

the most valuable player in the
league.
Schwarz gave Tom Gunder-
man and Rod Breedlove a close
scrap for honors on Maryland's
tackle charts, meticulouSly kept
by Alf Satterf1eld of the coach
ing staff.
Schwarz was elected co-cap-
tain Of the Maryland team fol-
lowing the North Carolina State
game, along with Joe Gardi.
Coach Tom Nugent appointed
game captains during the sea-
son and then held an election
after the final game, urging the
players to vote for the two
players who were the most

NFL Crowds
SET Mark for
Eighth Year

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "a
(AP).-The National Football
League set an attendance
record for the eighth straight
year. despite unfavorable eco
nomic conditions in three
league cities this season.
An Associated Press survey
of the l2-team circuit disclosed
today that 3,314,515 fans at.
tended games this season. This
was an increase of 1861
over 1858.
The new record exceeded the
expectations of the late NFL
commissioner, Bert Bell. Prior
to the season Bell said he felt
the league had reached its
Saturation point in attendance
and would do we'll to equal last
years great crowds.
Seven teams showed crowd
increases, while three ex-
perienced decreases. The Chi
cago Bears and San Francisco
Forty-NinerS reported the same
figures as a year ago. Both
clubs virtually sell out for their
six home games.
Good Show Responsible
Acting Commissioner Austin

interest in pro football might
best be expressed with an old
English saying, Good show"
We're giving them the best

interesting game that almost
always isn't decided until the

GunSel said the figures would
have been even higher in Pitts

If it hadn't been for the steel
strike.
Extensive television coverage
OF league games from Maine to
Seattle has aroused the interest
OF many fans, Gunsel said.

Baltimore Fans Weather
Worrying Giants Coach
Colts PLANNING
Visual Signs in
Sundays Bottle
BY the Assoeisted Press

.
Jim Lee Howell, head coach
OF the New York Giants, had
two major worries today as he
prepared to send his Eastern
Division champions through
their final double practice ses-
sion for Sundays National
Football League championship
game with the Colts in Balti-
more.
Howell's No. l concern is the
weather. A long-range forecast
by the chief meteorologist in
Baltimore indicates the game
in Memorial Stadium may be
played in a bone-chilling driz-
zle-or even snow.
Nobody can play well in
snow or rain" Howell said, and
Weeb Ewbank, coach of the de-
Tending champion Colts, was
quick to agree.
"a wet field changes the
whole picture" Howell said in
New York. where his SQUAD
hopes to get in an outdoor
workout at Yankee Stadium to-
day after drilling indoors most
OF the week at the Squadron A
Armory at Madison Avenue and
Ninety Fourth street. Yankee
Stadium has been blanketed by
snow for several days.
Noise Another Worry
In Baltimore, Ewbank had
his behemoths working out
doors in 25-degree weather.
Many of the Colts wore gloves
and were bundled to the ears.
Howell's other worry is the
crowd noise anticipated from
Baltimore's rabid fans, perhaps
the noisiest there are. In this
connection, the mild-mannered
head coach from Arkansas in
dicated he might alert his men
to walk off the field Sunday if
the fans try to stop Charlie
Conerly, the Giants 38-year-
old quarterback. from calling
signals.
This game is a big one and
we expect the fans to let
loose" Howell said. But we
are not going to stand for par
tiSan fans disrupting play.
Ewbank also is thinking
about crowd noise, having ex-
perienced some of it recently
in West Coast games against
the San Francisco Forty-Niners
and Los Angeles Rams. He has
been setting up some new wig
wag signals in an effort to
hoodwink the Giants rugged
defense.
Visual Signals Planned
Ewbank said the use of visual
signals between Quarterback
Johnny Unitas and his fanking
ends and halfbacks is because
OF the anticipated din from
the 57,557 fans.
Memorial Stadium is an up
roarious place for ordinary
home games of the Colts. And
for this first championship
game, with Baltimore fans in
the great majority, it will be
deafening.
The noisy fans pose even
more of a problem to the Colts
than most of the other teams.
UnitaS changes his plays on
reaching the line of scrimmage
after the huddle more often
than any other quarterback in
the league.
He does it by calling out
colors - red. yellow and the
like. The interior linemen are
able to hear him. but End
Raymond Berry and Halfback
Lenny Moore. who are flanked
out wide, cannot when the
yelling is concerted.
So when Unitas wants them
to run a different pass pattern
Or blocking assignment he'll
give them a sign. In this sense,
the system will be different
from the lonely end popular
lied by Red Blaik at Army.
The new signal system DEM
