L'Affuire KiIroy
Goes On and On
BY MORRIS sIEGEL

NJ IN HIS PLAYING DAYS, Bill McPeak was as rough
and tumble as the next guy in pro football AS coacn
he still can be rugged when the situation demands he
also be diplomatic, which coach must De.
1t seems to this checkpoint, however, that McPeaK
oyerstepped the bounds of diplomacy in his apology to
the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday in the nowceenrated
Bucko Klroy incident.
IT was all right If McPeak thought the action neces-
sary for him to apologize to Nick skorich for the per-
sona references to Eagles coach made by McPeaks
newest staff member Kircy But when McPeak also
said he was sorry remarks were printed ne was going
far afield
81 It is the primary function of newspaper TO print
what 1t regards as news Kroys criticism OF Skoricn
was news regardless of the effect 1t wasn't MADE OH
the record 1t wasn't told in confidence 1t was spoken by
man who has in the business for more than 2O
years
~ WHY SHOULDN'T 1T have been published? The
business about Klroys blast nfuriang the Eagles doesn't
hold here Nobody on the Redskins from George Mar
shall down to the assistant locker room attendant would
be happier over Redskins victory than kroy the as
enchanted Eagle.
For weeks the newspapers have drooed over the ac-
embellishments of the Redskins and rightfuy So Iher
comeback has been marvellous even If it has caught re-
porters accustomed to defeats off-guard
IF the Redskins deem it cricket to publish all that's
good about them they shouldn't beat when they or one
AZ their representatives violate the publicity code and
something that doesn't sound if it came from the Hack
department.
The incident has been blown up out of all proportion
Both the Eagles and McPeak appear too sensitive ABOUT
the whole matter which will be forgotten once the 1rst
tackle is made in Franklin Field tomorrow.
ANOTHER ARGUMENT, this one Infinitely more
exciting took place in Miami last night at the Maryland
Miami game The TerrapnS lost, but in defeat tney
didn't lose a customer.
In fact if a poll to be taken today it undouoteo
Nv would show that the scrappy College Parkers gained
friends From radio accounts OF the game was peauC
Statistics prove it, Between them the teams ate up almost
700 yards
~ The heralded Dick Sinner George Mira duel wasn't
over-publicized two junior quarteroacks were at
their best with Mira gaining the upper hand only IN the
closing moments of the ball game taking ms gang III lor
the score which thwarted Maryland.
EVEN IN DEFEAT THIS probably was Coach rom
Ngents finest hour at Maryland Master snowman IaC

Orange Bowers show they won't soon forget.
