OAKLAND ITI Eddie Erdelatz, a i tactician whom the University of Call fornia bypassed, was hired yesterday to a Oakland's team in the fledgling Amen can Professional a i League.

Erdelatz, is 46 a sports a pair of cauliflowei ears as souvenirs of his ama teur boxing days, reached a ''gentleman's agreement" yes terday with the well heeled backers oi the Oakland club. "Eddie is expected to sign the contract within 10 days," general manager Y. Charles (Chef) Soda said. "In the meantime we arc working on a gentleman's agreement and no terms will be disclosed." Erdelatz thus ended a 10 month period on the sidelines which started last April when he resigned from the Naval Academy and ended a brilliant nine-year tenure. During that span he rebuilt the Middies into a football power and they posted a record of 50 victories, 26 defeats and eight ties under his direction.

Erdelatz severed ties with the Academy as the upshot ol a rift i Capt. Slade Cutter, the athletic director. Until last Friday, Eddie had been considered the i candidate for the coaching vacancy at California. He had been interviewed at least three times by a screening committee but then passed over in favor of Marvin Levy of the University of New Mexico. Eddie launched his Oakland career with a verbal foul-up that drew a laugh from both reporters and himself.

The race has begun at Santa Anita. Erdelatz said and then his solemn features broke into a grin as he realized Hie mistake. Eddie then said thai "a lot of hard work is ahead a we'll a to roll up our sleeves and gel busy." This marks second venture into professional football.
