Hickey Resigns San Francisco Post
SAN FRANCISCO OP) - Be-
leaguered Red Hickey quit as
coach of the winless San Fran-
cisco 49ers yesterday and was re-
placed for the rest of the year
by assistant coach Jack Chris-
tiansen, a specialist with the de-
fensive secondary.
Hickey handed his resignation
to club owner Vic Morabito Mon-
day morning and in mid-afternoon
Morabito appointed Christiansen
to the job.
Christiansen, an eight-year de-
fensive halfback with the Detroit
Lions, joined the 49ers in 1959 as
an assistant-the same year Hick-
ey became head coach.
Became Favorite
During the few hours of specu-
lation before Christiansen was
named coach, he quickly became
the favorite, at least to finish out
the year.
The former Colorado State
sprinter is popular with the team
and, on such . short notice, the
49ers did not have too far to look
beyond the staff of assistants.
As .a player he was named all-
pro six seasons, starring as a
kick return specialist and pass
defender.
Hickey's departure was expect-
ed, though many observers
thought it would not come until
the end of the season, when the
redhead's three-year contract ex-
pires.
But when the Minnesota Vikings
smothered the 49ers 45-14 Sunday,
Hickey took his big step.
Neither Hickey nor Morabito
was available for comment after

CLEVELAND (A") - Pitching
coach Mel Harder, whose 36 con}-
secutive seasons with the Cleve-
lard Indians was a tenure record
in major league baseball, was
fired yesterday.
He will be succeeded next year
by Early Wynn, a 43-year-old
right-hander who won one game
-the 300th of his major league
career--while losing two with the
Indians this season.
their Monday morning meeting,
so it could not be determined how
much pressure, if any, Morabito
applied to the-ex-coach.
But with five exhibition losses,
three regular season defeats and
a combined losing streak of 10
games that reached back to 1962,
Hickey was obviously in trouble.
His record in four-plus seasons
at the San Francisco helm was
a dead-even 27-27-1 but only the
1960 season, when the 49ers lost
the NFL's Western Division title
to Green Bay by one game, could
be termed a success.
The club was fourth in Hickey's
initial season of 1959 and fifth the
past two seasons.
His troubles began after the
1960 season when he traded aging
but extremely popular quarter-
back Y. A. Tittle to the New York
Giants. Tittle promptly led the
Giants to two divisional titles.
By 1961 Morabito was forced to
announce: .
"It is regrettable that some
players have not agreed with Red
Hickey and his staff in their
assessment of personnel. Red
knows what he wants and he
fully intends to achieve the de-
sired goal without compromise."
At that time lineman Ed Henke
was asking to be traded and half-
back Hugh McElhenny was blam-
ing a "personality conflict" for
his slowdown.
Rough Taskmaster
Hickey, always known as a
rough taskmaster, tried easing thef
49ers into condition last year
with a no-contact series of early
workouts but a raft of injuries re-
sulted and helped ruin his pre-
season declaration that the 1962
team was his best-ever at San
Francisco.
"It's been a long, frustrating
season," Hickey said after the
1962 closer. "We've got some boys
who are coming on and who are
going to be fine ball players.

ImM SPORl LIGHT
By Dick Reynolds,
The Old Pro.
The old pro of I-M football is on the prowl again.
For the uninitiated, this title belongs to one Jack Mogk-I-M
quarterback extraordinaire. Back for his seventh year of I-M play,
the balding signal caller looks like he may have another winning ball
club.
After directing Sigma Alpha Epsilon to three football titles in
five years in the social fraternity division, Mogk last year switched
to the graduate leaguel With a mixture of former SAE's and Phi
Delt's he piloted his Draft Dodgers (team) to a 6-0 record and the
grad title.
The affable Law School student has left many an I-M gridder
grasping at thin air with his magician-like moves in the backfield. His
accuracy and range in passing are almost unbelievable.
Realizing his outstanding ability, the I-M Department elected
him to the all-star team three times.
Returning to the Draft Dodgers squad with Mogk this year are
blocking back Fred Roeser, defensive halfback Steve Wittenberg and
center Paul Groffsky.
A prize newcomer to the squad is one of Mogk's top protege's,
Dick Honig. Honig, Michigan's former varsity shortstop and new as-
sistant baseball coach, tutored under Mogk for two years at SAE. The
new addition should give the defending titlist a good 1-2 passing
combination.'
While the Draft Dodgers get the nod as the team to beat in
this year's graduate division race, always tough Nu Sigma Nu and
Phi Delta-Phi may give Mogk's crew a real run for the crown.
The Nu Sigs, still smarting from the 30-0 pasting they took from
the Draft Dodgers in last year's championship game, have quarter-
back Mike Ratterman, another ex-Mogk understudy, along with
speedy ends Les Tillitt and Scotty Boggs.
A 12-0 loser to Draft Dodgers last season, the Phi Delta Phi
has its 1962 team returning almost intact. Quarterback Henry Cashen
will direct the Phid attack with ends Howard (Buc) O'Leary and
Mike Barron andblocking back Dino (Rhino) Rinella lending valuable
support.

The Orioles made 99 errors in
162 gamnes for a fielding percent-
age of .9838. The previous record
of 100 errors and a .9831 percent-
age were set by the Cincinnati
Reds during a 154-game schedule
in 1958.
Aparicio, obtained last winter in

WORDS: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE
Today let us take up the subject of etymology (or entomology,
as it is sometimes called) which is the study of word origins
(or insects, as they are sometimes called).
Where are word origins (insects) to be found? Well sir, some-
times words are proper names which have passed into the
language. Take, for instance, the words used in electricity:
ampere was named after its discoverer, the Frenchman Andre
Marie Ampere (1775-1836); similarly, ohm was named after
the German G.S. Ohm (1781-1854), watt after the Scot James
Watt (1736-1819), and bulb after the American Fred C. Bulb
(1843-1912).
There is, incidentally, quite a poignant little story about
Mr. Bulb. Until Bulb's invention, all illumination was pro-
vided by gas, which was named after its inventor Milton T. Gas

who, strange to tell, had been Bulb's roommate at Cal Tech!
In fact, strange to tell, the third man sharing the room with
Bulb and Gas was also one whose name burns bright in the
annals of illumination-Walter Candle!
The three roommates were inseparable companions in col-
lege. After graduation all three did research in the problems
of artificial light, which at this time did not exist. All America
used to go to bed with the chickens, and many fine citizens were,
alas, severely injured falling off the roost.
Well sir, the three comrades-Bulb, Gas, and Candle-
promised to be friends forever when they left school, but
success, alas, spoiled all that. First Candle invented the can-
dle, got rich, and forgot his old friends. Then Gas invented gas,
got rich, bankrupted Candle, and forgot his old friends. Then
Bulb invented the bulb, got rich, bankrupted Gas, and forgot
his old friends.
Candle and Gas, bitter and impoverished at the ages respec-
tively of 75 and 71, went to sea as respectively the world's
oldest and second oldest cabin boy. Bullb,rich and grand, also
went to sea, but he went in style-as a first-class passenger on
luxury liners.
Well sir, strange to tell, all three were aboard the ill-fated
Lusitania when she was sunk in the North Atlantic. And
strange to tell, when they were swimming for their lives after
the shipwreck, all three clambered aboard the same dinghy l
Well sir, chastened and made wiser by their brush with peril,
they fell into each other's arms and wept and exchanged for-
giveness and became fast friends all over again.
For three years they drifted in the dinghy, shaking hands
and singing the Cal Tech rouser all the while. Then, at long
last, they spied a passing liner and were taken aboard.
They remained fast friends for the rest of their days, which,
I regret to report, were not many, because the liner which picked
them up was the Titanic.
What a pity that Marlboros were not invented during the
lifetimes of Bulb, Gas, and Candle. Had there been Marlboros,
these three friends never would have grown apart because they
