SMITH Tho Prttu Sport Editor Shades of Bulldog Turner By PAT Pittsburgrh Press Staff Writer PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24 There are plenty of open ings for assistant coaches in the National Football League this year more openings, in fact, than there are applicants for jobs. It seems every club is looking for an aide or two.

Baltimore, the Washington Redskins, Chicago Cardi nals and Green 'Bay are in the- market for two assistants. The Pittsburgh Steelers probably will sign two more.

Despite the fact that it appears as a defendant here Monday in Federal Court to answer charges that its television policy violates the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, the league adopted "word-for-word" its policy which it claims is "a reasonable restraint" of the air program. The disputed policy called for one game to be televised weekly with a blackout of areas where an NFL game is being played. Here are how the vacancies have occurred PITTSBURGH Backfield Coach Gus Dorais has announced that he likely will retire.

Molesworth, another Steeler backfield coach, has taken over as head coach of the new Baltimore club. CHICAGO CARDINALS Sto The adoption of the television The Chicago Bears appear to have led the way in 1 the search for the "sleeper" in this year's National Foot- ball League draft. While Baltimore was snapping up Oklahoma's LtBilly Vessels, the Redskins were reaching for Jack Scar-bath, Maryland's magic quarterback, and the Steelers tagged the man they most wanted Ted Marchibroda of Detroit Papa Bear George Halas was lifting a young gentleman named Bill Anderson from Compton Junior College, In California. To several million football followers neither Compton nor Anderson is a name that has been kicked around over the dinner table. Which means exactly nothing; William might easily turn out to be the most profitable draft choice of them all.

Football is that kind of a game. Looking for the hidden gem occupies much of the time for the pro scouts. They didn't tie down the whistles or ring the bells when the announced they had signed a youth off the campus of Hardin-Simmons College, in Texas. That was 1940. So Bull-idog Turner unostentaciously joined the forces of the Monsters of the Midway, 1 He was a center, they said.

The Bears already had a good 'v man at that position in Frank Bausch of Kansas. The Bulldog promptly chased him back to the bench. The following year the distinguished Mel Hein of the Giants was no longer the All- League center. Guess who was. Why, of course, the Bulldog.

He's come to the end of his leash now, has the Bulldog, but the years since he arrived he made everybody know he was there. He was one of the most able pass interceptors who ever grabbed a ball that wasn't intended for him. And when they start naming all-time pro centers, he never runs worse than second. V. There are those who prefer Hein.

Then comes Turner. But i iwith a lot of folks it's the other way around.
