TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1963 THE MICHIGAN DAILY 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 Harder Axed As Cleveland Hires WVnn o/ 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. Pro Football NFL WESTERN DIVISION W L T Pet. Pts. 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.

" " BALTIMORE - The Baltimore Orioles set two major league club fielding records during the 1963 season and shortstop Luis Apar- icio established one American League mark, according to unoffi- cial statistics. 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 a trade with the Chicago White Sox, made 13 errors at shortstop while playing in 144 games.

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 W L Pet.

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 11
