Sophomore Delmar Hughes assured the win with his conversion. By HARBY GRAYSON NEA Sports Editor NEW YORK -(NBA) Herman Hickman left, it seems, more than a laughing populace when he pulled stakes at Yale two years ago.

Hickman, who chose television, left the Elis with the first bona-fide football coaching staff they have owned since Oreaiy Neale waa an assistant in the mid-1930 to Ducky Pond and developed tha great Clint Frank. Hickman's last acts before shoving off for the silver menace in your living room were to bring in Jor dan Ollvar and aides, Jerry Neri and Angelo Bertelli, who was Frank Leahy'i first tailback at Notre Dame and in hla junior year became the Irish's first quarterback. Ollvar, the Phi Beta Kappa from Villsnova vis Loyola of Los Angeles, was named head man as sort of emergency measure. His skillful organizing and sharp tutoring lifted the Blue from a moribund outfit with a defeatist complex to a crisp 12-4-2 mark throughout tha two year of hla reign. And there are exceptionally bright prospects for the Immediate future.

Bertelli, who is taking time out this fall to expand his New Jersey liquor store chain, worked with the New Haven freshmen last autumn, and teatifies that the Elis easily could be the surprise of the Ivy League. Bertelli points out that Jordan hai some sophomores like the ones who usually migrate to the Big Ten, Notre Dame or the Southeastern Conference. He rattles off names Quarterbacks Dean Loucks and Charley Peet; Halfbacks Dennis McGill, Don Oriffith and A1 Walker; Fullback Steve Ackerman; and End Paul Lopata. Bertelli found Ivy League football much more fun than the high-pressure game played elsewhere. Its informal," he explains.

"The Yale kids call Jordan, a wonderful man, Ollie, just as the Princeton kids address Charley Caldwell by his first name. It lsqCt Coach This or Coach That. The boys play because they like to or because their fathers played on account of tradition. Most of them would be delighted just to be photographed in a football group. Boys of this kind cant be driven and handled like young men having free rides on football scholarships.

The job calls for coaching And psychology, and Jordan, whepmas enjoyed remarkable success with a passing game wherever he has been, is a master of getting the most out of a squad of this kind." Bertelli enjoyed his brief fling in the Ivy League, but remains a 100 pei cent Notre Dame Hes going to see the Michigan State game, Oct. 16. Did you see Aubrey Lewis play for Montclair, N. High?" he asked. We did not, but heard of this phenomenal back and saw him compete in the national decathlon championship, July 3-4.

Lewis, 195, does the 100 In football regalia in 10 seconds flat, had 100 offers, was supposed to go to Penn State. 'Til tell you where Lewis is," said Bertelli "Hes at Notre Dame on a track scholarship. Negro boys have played there before, but this one will be the first of national prominence. Bertelli was surprised when young Terry Brennan was named to succeed Leahy as head coach at Notre Dame. I thought the job would go to Bill Earley, the backlleld coach," he said.

Brennan was after me in school, but he came through here not long ago and impressed me a lot. You can bet Terry Brennan a good choice. They dont make mistakes at Notre Dame.
