UCLA's Grid Coach Dies Os Heart Attack LOS ANGELES (UPD-Henry (Red) Sanders, acknowledged coaching genius who became the center of the self - consuming Pacific Coast Conference controversy, was dead today—victim of a heart attack. Sanders, whose nine fabulous years as UCLA's head coach was a thorn in the side of many of the PCC's less successful members, died Thursday in a downtown Los Angeles hotel room. With him at the time was a friend. W. T. (Pop) Grimes and a friend of Grimes, Ernestine Drake. Grimes said Sanders and he were talking “baseball and the upcoming football season” when the 53-year-old goach was stricken and collapsed. For more than a half - hour, whi 1 e hotel employees sought vainly to locate a doctor, Sanders lay unattended on the floor. Then the police and the Emergency Hospital were called but when police arrived Sanders was dead. It was Sanders successful recruiting that first nettled the PCC But the real blow was his finest hour — his unbelieveable knack of getting the best out of little — his 1957 season. His club, stripped 6f its seniors and restricted in Us recruiting, posted an "astounding record-“to ah but win the PCC title. Sanders amassed a nine L - year total of 66 wins, 19 losses and 1 tie.

The one - time catching star with Detroit and Boston of the American League said he planned to stay in the game but doesn’t know whether he will stay on the field or move into the front office. “It was a helluva job.” he said as he sat packing his gear, “but in one way I guess I’m as interested in the success of this club as anyone else. "If I’d have continued, I would have hurt the entire organization. I didn’t want to do that, as they gave me my start.” Coach Jimmy Dykes took over for Tebbetts and will run the team until a successor is named.

Lions Favored Over College Stars Tonight CHICAGO (UPI) - The Detroit Lions, champions of the National Football League, and the 1958 College All-Stars tangle tonight in the 25th renewal of the annual pro - collegian struggle. As usual, the play-for-pay squad was a solid favorite. Only seven times in 24 games have the collegians been able to win, the last time in 1955 when they gained a narrow 30-27 decision over the Cleveland Browns. But nearly 70,000 fans were expected to jam Soldier Field, detemperature in the high 80’s, to see whether the new crew, spite an anticipated daytime coached by Otto Graham, can upset. “We’re going to play an open game," Graham said, “because you’re not going to beat a pro team on the ground. We’U run a regular pro offense,” = = The game will be both broadcast and televised nationally. Graham anticipated that he would get his entire squad of 49 physically fit players into action and with a more youthful group, he might have a little edge in speed. But the Lions/ listed .48 players oh the roster and will be long on team experience and size. To run Graham’s open game, he’ll rely on two star college passers, King Hill of Rice and Jim Ninowski of Michigan State, But neither was rated the equal of Detroit's two tossers, Tobin Rote and Bobby Layne, both with years of pro experience. Graham planned to substitute his offensive backfield by units with fullback Walt Kowalczyk, Michigan State, and ~:halfbacks Jim Pace, Michigan, and Dick Christy, North Carolina State, running with Hill, and fullback Jim Taylor, Louisiana State, and halfbacks Bob Mitchell, Illinois, and Phil King, Vanderbilt, coupled with Ninowski, - , - < Detroit’s Coach George Wilson was expected to stick as much as possible with his favored offensive backs, Gene Gedman, Howard Cassady and John Henry Johnson with Rote and Layne alternating 1 as the signal caller. « The All-Stars might put on their best show on defers* since Graham said he had assigned his best players to that unit, headed by Dan Currie. Michigan State, Lou Michaels, Kentucky and Alex Karras, lowa. In the secondary the top All-Stars will be Clendon Thomas, Oklahoma, and Bobby Joe Conrad. Texas A&M, at the safety spots, and Dick Lynch, Notre Dame, and Jim Jones, Washington, at the halfbacks. Cardinals Option Out Lindy McDaniel ST. LOUIS (UPI) — Lindy McDaniel, who teamed with his brother, Von, last year as the “modern day Deans” of the St. Louis Cardinals, today was on his way to Omaha ot the American Association. Von was sent to Win-ston-Salem, N.C., earlier this year. Lindy whs optioned by the Redbirds Thursday.

High Schools Open Grid Drills Today INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Football practice started in earnest today for hundreds of Indiana high school boys who hope to thrill their fans this fall with sensational runs and passes that will make them gridiron heroes. This was the opening day the Indiana High School Athletic Association permits practice, and Commissioner L. V. Phillips believes the big bulk of nearly 200 schools participating ih the sport on an interschool basis will launch their drills without delay. “Most of them start on Aug. 15,” Phillips said. “They are itching to get started and they don’t waste any time once it’s permitted under the IHSAA rules.” Last year, 188 schools- fielded 11-man football tarns. About 20 others had 8-man or 6-man teams. None Dropping Sport Phillips said he knew ot no schools dropping football this season- and no others fielding teams for the first time. Arrival of the new season cast the spotlight once again on a numtoer of prep crews which fared well in the 1957 season. Among them were Evansville Reitz and East Chicago Roosevelt. the perennial powers in the south and north, respectively. Both finished unbeaten and untied last year and in a dead heat for the United Press International mythical state championship. Reitz had a strand of 10 victories and Roosevelt 9 last season. Noblesville’s 19 straight victories over two seasons may be the longest skein in the state at presnt. First games in the new season may be played Aug. 29. The rule says Sept. 1 is the earliest date for a game unless a school in session before that date, in which event it can start playing on any school day. Minor Rule Changes The Aug. 15 first-practice date has been in effect about 10 years. It used to be Aug. 20 but practice was eliminated. Players should have a real workout between now and the date of their first games. IHSAA rules require that players have at least 10 separate days of practice befor the first games. Assistant Commissioner Robert Hinshaw said there were 35 or so rules changes this year but most of them were minor and technical in nature, probably confusing to most fans. The association’s chiefs decided that, effective this year, jamborees which often precede the start of regular schedules will be considered as legitimate extra-curricu-lar activitis and teams which participate still may play regular 10-game schedules. Heretofore, a jamboree game was counted as one of the 10.

Brave Rookie Holds Redlegs To One Single By FRED DOWN United Press International Pitcher Joey Jay and the Milwaukee Braves wasted no time introducing Jimmy Dykes to the facts, of life for a manager of the Cincinnati Redlegs. Dykes, who succeeded Birdie Tebbetts Thursday, escaped the embarrassment of suffering a nohit defeat by only one single Thursday night when the Braves spoiled his debut with a 3-0 victory. Jay yielded only a sixthinning single to Jerry Lynch for eight innings and Warren Spahn ptched the ninth after the 6-foot, 4-inch Milwaukee rookie issued his eighth walk to lead off the frame. Thus, Dykes was introduced to the fact that probably led more than anything else to his predecessors’ failures — the Redlegs just can’t beat the Braves. The world champions whipped ’em 18 times in 22 meetings last season and Thursday night’s victory made the 1958 count. 11-3. Lead By Six Bill Bruton homered for the Braves’ first run in the first inning and Wes Covington’s triple and an error made it 2-0 in the second. Roy McMillan’s error and Del Crandall’s single built the lead to 3-0 in the eighth. The win restored the Braves' lead over the idle second-place Pittsburgh Pirates to six games and left them 6 l £ ahead of the third-place San Francisco Giants who beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 4-3, in an afternoon game. The Los Angeles Dodgers downed the Chicago Cubs, 7-3, in the other N.L. game. In the American League, the rlmaway New York Yankees walloped the Boston Red Sox, 8-2, Vic Power’s second steal of home gave the Cleveland Indians a 10-9 triumph over the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago White Sox defeat cd the Kansas City Athletics, 5-2. Mays Homers Willie Mays snapped a 2-2 tie with an eighth-inning homer and Orlando Cepeda doubled home another tally to lead the Giants to their victory over St. Louis. Daryl Spencer also homered for the Giants. Johnny Antonelli won his
