The Eagles quarterback made a surprise contribution to the Bell yesterday, clearing the way for former All-Pro linebacker Myron Pottios to join the World Football League club's coaching staff. Pottios, 36, made an oral agreement with Coach Willie Wood to become the Bell's defensive line coach and the fifth member of the staff. HE WAS STRICTLY an observer at last night's 58-39 loss to the Southern California Sun in Anaheim. Wood's earner coaches were Le-roy Kelly, Herb Adderley and Frank Gallagher. Third-string quarterback Mike Yancheff has also been designated as an offensive consultant.

Pottios played for the Pittsburgh Stealers, the Los Angeles Rams and the Washington Redskins, retiring from the Redskins before the first game of the 1974 season.

The 16,299 in the afternoon saw four of the men's seeds vanish in the first 90 minutes, with Australian Tony Roche, the' seventh seed, the biggest "old" name to g6.

They're not losing because they're getting the ball driven down their throats. They're just creating" bad situations for themselves. They're not big things, but they're not playing the game as it should be played." Pottios, originally drafted by the Steelers in 1961, was involved in one of Allen's more celebrated trades in 1971.
