A big point of contention be-
tween owner and coach has
been Wismer's pre-occupation
with Syracuse's All-America
halfback and Heisman Trophy
winner, Ernie Davis. Although
draft rights to Davis belong to
Buffalo of the AFL and Wash
ington of the rival National
Football League, Wismer has
persisted in saying he was after
the halfback. offering a $25, 900
bonus for signing and a three
year contract at $100, 900. Harry
says Buffalo gave him permis-
sion to dicker. Buffalo says no.
Sure I'd like to have Davis"
Baugh said yesterday. But
while they're fooling around
with him, 20 other boys who
can help us are getting away"
Overly Optimistic
Baugh added that WiSmer's
futile efforts to land name
players hurt the Titans after
the 1860 draft and is hurtNog
them again this time. The
leathery Texan also said Wismer
had been overly optimistic
about the Titans' chances at a
championship, even though I
told him time and again we
don't have that kind of a club.
Two weeks before we went
to camp, all the coaches got a
letter from WiSmer telling us
of all the great boys he had
signed and telling the coaches
that we should be able to win
the championship with them,"
the coach said. I'VE could tell,
within 80 days at camp, that
we had been lied to right there.
He hadn't helped us on offense
at all and on defense he had
got us only one good boy
Dainard Paulson."
He even made the statement
that we could beat the Giants
by three touchdowns. That
turned my stomach. The Giants
would run us right off the

nobody's business but the
builders.
"At the very least" the
committee asserted, ''the
Planning Board should be
able to prohibit grading at
slopes which will inevitably
lead to erosion and the silta-
ton of stream valleys"
Hire conserVotionist
The report recommended
the hiring of an experienced
conservationist by the Plan
ming Board to advise devcl-
opers on acceptable practice.
Such a move, they added,
would be extremely useful"
The report also deplored
the failure on the part of
county planners to set up an
overall scheme in areas they
know will be developed by
individual subdividers in the
future. The individuals would
then have to build homes
along streets already prede-
termined.
Such an overall plan, the
report stated, could take in
provision for such things as
future schools and parklands.
In conclusion the commit
tee said:
Sound neighborhoods can
not be produced by individ-
ual developers acting on
their own. We strongly rec
ommend that neighborhood
plans into which subdivisions
will fit be prepared by the
Park and Planning Commits
sion well in advance of de-
velopment, and as a statutory
prerequisite to the approval
of any subdivision"
Such far-sweeping powers,
of course, do not now exist.

The entire site of this de-
