During 10 football seasons, this has been Baltimores version jI the Wait Until Next Year solace from one fan backing a loser to another. Baltimore fans did stick.

And this is next year. They have the Western Conference champion in the National Football League. Theyll play the New York Giants Sunday for all the marbles. Any NFL official will tell you its the people of Baltimore who deserve the credit. The fans were famous before the team.

At home and on excursions, their noisy, colorful antics had strangers gawking. The Celts dont have followers, they have disciples, it has been said. They have been willing to do their penance in cash. In 1947, when Baltimore got into pro football with the All-America Conference, the average attendance was 24,000 although the team won only twice. Next year, the average rose to 28,000.

In 1949, it was about although the Colts won only one game on the road. It was a little too much for even Baltimore fans to take the next year when the Colts joined the NFL and won only one game. Average attendance dropped to and it cost Baltimore its franchise. The franchise came back in 1953 and the average climbed to Attendance has gone up steadily since to a bell-ringing 53,460 the past season. I knew it was a nutty town over pro football, commented UA Quintet Drops Game To Bengals POCATELLO, Idaho (AP)--The University of Arizona basketball team, beaten twice during the weekend, continues its swing through the northwest and west coast tonight against powerful Idaho State.

The Bengals will be heavily favored to win again tonight. Last Friday Arizona was beaten 83-57 by Utah State. After tonights game, the Wildcats will head down the Pacific Coast, meeting Stanford Friday and California Saturday.

PHOENIX (AP) The sponsors of the first annual Copper Bowl today must feel like a golfer who cant break a 100 but hits enough good shots to keep him interested in the game. A disappointing crowd of only 10,000 turned out for the game Saturday night as the Southwest All-Stars defeated the Nationals 22-13. The turnout was far below expectations of the sponsors, who put on the show for the benefit of the March of Dimes polio fund. But the game was good enough and the paying customers satisfied, so bowl officials promised a second annual Copper Bowl next year. A spokesman for the bowl said the same procedure would be followed an all-star selected from the Southwest, against an all-star team picked from the rest of the nation.

Most of the action in Saturdays clash was confined to the first half. The Southwest took a 6-0 lead the first time it had possession of the ball, driving 65 yards in 16 plays with a 2-yard pass from John Hangartner of Arizona State to Freddy Glick of Colorado State getting the score. The Nationals struck back and ney of Boston University intercepted a pass and returned it to the Southwest nine. From there, Tom Barnett of Purdue scored. Then Jerry Bell, a quarterback from Texas Tech, came into the game and guided the Southwest-erns to a big 16-point second quarter that spelled the difference in the game.

Bell hit end Tom Coffey of West Texas State with a 72 yard touchdown pass; then booted a 25 yard field goal and scored on a one yard sneak. The Nationals managed only one took a 7-6 lead when Ken-more offensive thrust, that in the third quarter as quarterback John Green of Chattanooga- passed 42 yards to Jim Steffen of UCLA. Bell was named the games outstanding player. Joe Belland of Arizona State, leading ground gainer with 105 yards, was selected as the Southwests outstanding back and Coffey as outstanding lineman. For the Nationals, Barnett was picked as the best back and Ron Nietupski of Illinois as the outstanding lineman.

We played a fine ball club, Spilsbury said. When you get beat, you want to get beat by the best. Spilsbury, who has led the Lumberjacks to an impressive J7-4 record during his three years at ASC, said his squad is determined to return to St. Petersburg next year for another crack at the national small college football title.

And the Axers have a good chance for a repeat performance. Only six of the 29-man squad that made the trip to St. Petersburg are seniors. Most of the starters return, and ASC had one of the best freshmen teams in its history this season. Looking back on Saturday's bruising bowl fight, there is no question that the Lumberjack defense was not up to par.

and except for Quarterback Ted Sor-ichs passing its offense sput tered badly. That was the whole story of the game: The Axers were unable to engineer sustained drives or capitalize on breaks, and the Okies did both with efficient precision. As Coach Max put it after the game: Of course Im disappointed that our team didn't play as well as we might have. Were a better team than we showed. Statistics of the game, which was witnessed by a bowl crowd of 8628 and some 15 million TV viewers across the nation, tell the story.

The Okies crushed out 329 yards in rushing to 78 for the Lumberjacks, and piled up a 24-to-ll edge in first downs. Only In passing did the Axers cotne out ahead. Sorich and his quarterback understudy Dan Loveall connected on 12 of 16 passes for 165 yards, while the Okies completed five of 14 passes for 85 yards. Each team had one pass intercepted, and each lost the ball on fumbles once. The Okies were hit with 75 yards in penalties, while the Axers lost 30.

The teams split the most valuable player awards. Little Johnny Allen, the Okies quarterback who directed his squad's baffling split-T running attack, was voted the game's most valuable player and the outstanding back. The Lumberjacks 225-pound junior tackle from Yuma, Hosie Maddox, was named the games outstanding lineman. The big turning point of the game came early in the fourth quarter when a Lumberjack gamble backfired. With the ball on their own 15, fourth down and only inches to go for a first down, the Axers elected to run the bail.

Ron Cote failed to make the-gain, and the Redmen front Oklahoma took over. From that point, the Okies powerhouse offense rolled, with sub Quarterback Frank Phelps diving over from the 1. Spilsbury, after the game, took full blame for the call, but insisted he would not have done any differently' under existing circumstances. It was all my fault, Spilsbury said. I called the play.

We had to keep the ball. If I had it to do over, Id call the same play. After that score facing a 19-7 deficit with time fading in the final quarter the Lumberjacks roared downfield on a 92-yard drive climaxed by Sorichs precision pass to speedy end Alvin Rex for the score. Sorichs conversion attempt was blocked. The Okies took the ensuing kickoff and with less than two minutes to play held on to the ball until the final gun sounded, The Axers earlier score, in the third quarter, came on a beautiful 29-yard touchdown dash by Cote.

Both coaches agreed after the game that the play of both teams greatly enhanced the stature of small college football. I suppose a lot of people who have been watching the pros and major colleges play all season didnt think much of the idea of a small college game on tele-Im sure we gave them a good vision, Spilsbury said. But Im sure we gave them a good show." Okie Coach Harold (Tuffy) Stratton added: Both teams played their hearts out. They certainly brought credit to NAIA football.

Terry Brennan Fired by Irish -A assistant, and Andy Tu-lanes head coach. Brennan, 30, who admitted having, known of his dismissal for a couple of days, said he did not know whom his successor would be but added I can only say It will not be someone at Notre Dame. Brennan sid he is not sure what his plans are but "Id like to remain in coaching. It all happened so fast, I havent had time to reflect. Ill think about it for a couple of days and decide after that.

Although he experienced only one losing season, Brennans stay at Notre Dame was turbulent. After a successful tenure with Mt. Carmel High School in Chicago where his teams. won an unprecedented three straight city championships, Brennan went to Notre Dame as freshman coach in 1953. Early in 1954, he was named to succeed Lealiy who quit with a record of 87-11-9 second only to Rocknes Because Brennan u'as only 25 then, there was some rumbling but this died out quickly when Notre Dame finished with a 9-1 record, losing only to Purdue.

In 1935, Notre, Dame had a respectable 8-2 1-ecord. Then came what actually SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP)-Ter-ry Brennan, Notre Dames sixth football coach since the death of Knute Rockne in 1931, was fired Sunday night after a five-year record of 32 victories and 18 defeats. No definite reason was given for the dismissal other than the action had been recommended to Rev. Theodore M.

Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of Notre Dame, by the faculty board in control of athletics. Father Hesburgh, who said he accepted the boards recommendation with great reluctance, gave no indication who would succeed Brennan. The Associated Press, however, learned that Joe Kuharich, who played for the Irish from 1935-37 and was freshman coach in 1938, will take over. a native of South Bend, is currently head coach of the professional Washington Redskins with whom he recently signed a five-year contract. Kuharich could not be reached for comment but George Preston Marshall, owner ot the Redskins, said "I dont know anything about it I ought to hear i in the morning.
