Emanuel Ceiler, apparently had blocked off the merger bill from his position as House Judiciary Committee chairman, congressional supporters slipped the provision onto a tax bill and past Caller's grasp. This was accomplished by an amendment introduced by Sen. Everett Dirksan (R-Ill.) to an entirely unrelated a tax bill.

Kumlien is on crutches, as are two other Bluebird regulars.

It is hoped that he'll be ready for action in the meeting with enemy No. 1, Beloit, here on Friday, Nov.

The proposal now can go to the floor of both houses for votes, expected later this week. It has strong backing from leaders of both the House and Senate. House and Senate approval for the tax bill, including exemption of the football merger from antitrust action, is almost certain.

Will Play Title Game NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle had argued for weeks that unless Congress would guarantee that the merger could not be tied up in courts, plans for the creation of a superleague would have to be dropped. Now, apparently, a championship game between the NFL and AFL titlists will be able to go on as scheduled at the end of the season. The Senate earlier this fall passed a similar measure but it was tied up in Celler's tec.

M. PETT EDGERTON Tom Pratt, defensive line coach of the Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League, lived in the Edgerton vicinity a quarter century ago. Tom, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dee Pratt, was bom on a farm just outside the west city limits of Edgerton.

At an early age his sporting hiterest was confined to hunting ducks with his faUier in Sheepskin Mardi which at that time was an autumn haven for mallards, teal and mudhens. After completing second grade in the one-room Sheepskin rural school, Tom moved wiUi his parents to Beloit in 1942 where he completed his grade school education. Pratt attended Beloit Memorial IDgh School from 1950 to 1953 and played football every year. He was selected an all state guard as a member of Beloit's undefeated 1952 team. He attended the University of Miami in Florida, graduatmg in June, 1957.

He lettered in football four years as an offensive guard and defensive linebacker. He received honorable mention as a linebacker on an All America team his senior year. After graduation he became an assistant coach at his alma mater under Andy Gustafson. He was the head freshman coach in 1957 and the next three years was tiie coach of varsity guards and linebackers.
