Bear Bryant
Keeps Losing
His Helpers
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. UP) — For
the second straight year, Coach
Paul Bryant has lost a top as-1
sistant at Alabama to a head
coaching job.
Charley Bradshaw, offense |
coach of the national champion
Crimson Tide last season, was
named head coach at Kentucky
Wednesday.
And Bryant may lose at least
one other assistant — perhaps to
his former aide, Bradshaw, at
Kentucky.
Bryant, in Chicago to attend
meetings of the NCAA, told Sports
Editor Benny Marshall of the
Birmingham News in a telephone
interview he was going to “wait
until the smoke clears” before
hiring a replacement for Brad-
shaw.
“We may lose somebody else,”
he said.
Bryant greeted the news of
Bradshaw’s appointment with de-
light.
“Well, wonderful,” he said. “I’m
really happy for Charley. They
couldn’t have gotten a better
man in my opinion.”
Last year Bryant lost Jerry
Claiborne to the head coaching
job at Virginia Tech.
Another Bryant assistant, chief
aide Phil Cutchin, figured prom-
inently in recent speculation about
several head coaching vacancies.
The elevation of Bradshaw
brings to six the number of men
who either played or coached un-
der Bryant to hold head coach-
ing jobs—Paul Dietzel, who left
LSU for Army; Charley McClen-
don, who succeeded Dietzel at
LSU; Jim Owens at Washington;
J .T. King at Texas Tech, and
Bill Elias at Virginia, plus Brad-
shaw and Claiborne.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. UP) — Bal-
timore Colts’ owner Carroll Ro
senbloom believes the new tele-
vision contract the National Foot-
ball League signed with the CBS
network will force his club to' op-
erate in the red’ during 1962.
“For the past two years our
television contract with NBC has
kept us in the black,” Rosen-
bloom said Wednesday night. “If
we had net hod the pact we Would
have operated in the red those
two years because of our contin-
ually increasing operating costs.
“We will take a beating on the
new tv contract,” he said,
“which means we will operate in

SAN DIEGO, Calif. UP) — The
$25,000 San Diego Open gets un-
der way today with the promise
of sunny weather and with the
outcome of the 72-hole event, as
usual, subject to profound specu-

on top with a 2-0 mark.
But four of the ■ nation’s top-
ranked teams continued their
surges. Fifth-ranked Kansas State
bounced back after its upset by
Colorado Saturday night and
trounced Kansas 70-59 in a Big
Eight game: sixth-ranked Villa-
nova held off Temple for a 60-53
victory; eighty-ranked Duquesne
easily beat Dayton 79-59 and
ninth-ranked Bowling Green won
over Toledo in a Mid-American
Conference battle, 66-60.
Cincinnati, now 11-2 overall, ran
into foul trouble in the first half,
and it proved costly when 6-foot-
9 Paul Hogue fouled out in the
overtime season.
Bradley, which has • now won
eight straight, got two quick buc-
kets from Lavern Tart and one
from Chet Walker in the over-
time and never fell behind. Joe
Strawder topped Bradley with 24
points and All-America Walker
added 17. Soph Paul Bonham led
the Bearcats with 24.
Elsewhere, Nebraska moved to
the top of the Big Eight (2-0)
with a 57-56 victory over Okla-
homa on Ivan Grupe’s go-ahead
field goal and clinching foul;
Wake Forest used 30 points and
13 rebounds by big Len Chappell
to beat North Carolina 91-72 and
take over-the Atlantic Coast Con-
ference lead. An ACC game be-
tween N. C. State and Virginia
was postponed until Feb. 8 be
cause of snow conditions.

CHICAGO ® — The power-

Collegiate Athletic Association is
expected to epen further the
break between the colleges ane
the Amateur Athletic Union toda>
by approving programs for crea-
tion of new federations for U:S.
track and field and gymnastics.
Council approval, tantamount
to acceptance by the NCAA as a
whole, would follow endorsement
of plans for federations in the
two sports by the NCAA’s exe-
cutive committee
In its endorsement at Wednes-
day’s third session of the NCAA
convention, the executive com-
mittee—NCAA Executive Director
Walters Byers reported —felt
“these new federations will great-
ly advance and improve these
sports in the United States in all
of their phases.”
The executive committee acted
on recommendations submitted by
rhe National Collegiate Track
Coaches Association, the National
Association of Gymnastics Coach-
es and a special committee on
AAU-Olympic relations headed by
Wilbur Johns, athletic director at
UCLA.

★ GRAYSON'S SCOREBOARD *
Kentucky U.
Hires New
Grid Coach
LEXINGTON, Ky. ® — Char-
lie Bradshaw, a former Marine
who believes in the positive ap-
proach, has been picked to re-
vive the sagging football fortunes
at University of Kentucky.
“There is no doubt in my
mind,” that Kentucky football will
get better, said Bradshaw, 36,
after being named Wednesday toi
succeed the ousted Blanton Col-
lier. “If it were not so, I wouldn’t
be here,” he said.
Bradshaw, who played football
at Kentucky, then was an assist-
ant coach before going to Alaba-
ma as an assistant, said he would
go after the better students in his
recruiting.
The day of the “tramp athlete”
is gone, he said, adding, “You
can’t win with the dumb ones.”
Bradshaw signed a four-year
contract. No salary was men-
tioned, but Collier was making a
reported $17,500 a year when the
remaining three years of his con-
tract were bought by the Ken-
tucky athletics board last week.
Bradshaw went to Alabama in
1959 under Paul Bryant, the man
for whom he played in 1946-49 at
Kentucky. He supervised the po-
tent offense of the Crimson Tide,
last season’s national champions,
as it rolled up 3,270 yards and
287 points. Alabama was unbeaten
:n 10 games.
Magnates Create Cutthroat
Competition by Freeze-outs
BY HARRY GRAYSON
Newspaper Enterprise Sports Editor
NEW YORK—(NEA)—A few poo-bahs, nearly all of whom
bought or inherited going concerns in organized professional
sports, seem to be under the impression that absolute control
of the entire works goes with the franchises.
This erroneous belief is as firmly anchored in their minds as
though set in solid rock, which is a pretty apt simile.
Wars rage now—in football and basketball—because the
established proprietors aeted as though they operated
monopolies by divine right. One little item having to do
■with the football hostilities has the two-year-old American
Football League suing the National for $10 million in an
antitrust case.
The rockheads running the major baseball leagues narrowly
averted a battle with its resultant cutthroat competition by
coming to their senses in the nick of time.
THE FOOTBALL PEOPLE, in particular, have short memo-
ries, especially when it comes to freezeouts.
As recently as 16 years ago, all Arch Ward, the late Chi-
cago sports editor, wanted from the National Football
League was a Los Angeles franchise for his Hollywood
actor friend, Don Ameche. The ensuing four-year contro-
versy between the NFL and the All-American Conference
cost both sides millions.
The swaddling American Football League has 'already
dropped several millions while being considerably more than
a miner nuisance to the National. It came into being only
because Lamar Hunt and Bud Adams, oil rich young Texans,
were denied an NFL franchise for their part of the country.
They found other cities seeking the same thing and a league
was born.
FOR SOME YEARS, Abe Saperstein, inventor and entrepre-
neur of the internationally famous Harlem Globetrotters, was
the biggest individual stockholder in the Philadelphia franchise
of the National Basketball Association. Saperstein, generally
considered the smartest man in the roundball business, sought
a franchise in Los Angeles, urged the circuit to expand to Cali-
fornia. No dice, so Saperstein organized his own wheel. The
American Basketball League now has eight clubs, with fran-
chises spread from Commack, Long Island, N.Y., to Honolulu,
With a knowledgeable organizer like Saperstein, the
ABL easily could develop into something more than a
minor annoyance to the NBA.
It would seem to impartial observers that the sooner self-
appointed moguls realize that a team cannot be patented or
copyrighted, the better it will be for all concerned, except
maybe the hired hands.
