Karas to bid for old duty SAN DIEGO (UPI) The San Diego Chargers may have to dig into the broadcast crew that handles the play-by-play of their football games to bolster their ailing defensive corps. Emil Karas, a 32-year-old former Charger linebacker who has been helping broadcast the Charger games since he left the team, rejoined the American Football League team Tuesday. He will work out twice daily this week and may be activated for Sunday's game against Denver.

Head coach Sid Gillman said a decision would be made Friday on Karas status. Im in pretty good shape, Karas said, and working out twice a day should do it. The Chargers recently lost the services of linebackers Chuck Allen and Dick Degen because of injuries and another linebacker. Bob Mitinger, was drafted. Karas, one of the original Chargers, broke a leg in 1964 and when it did not recover sufficiently to play in 1965, he retired.

Hey ref, where did you get your license from a cracker jack box? These choice comments are but a few that ring from the gallery of avid football fans each week, directed in-justly and at times ignorantly at four men, who are the most important facet of the game. No prep varsity encounter nor collegiate contest can officially be played without their jurisdiction, yet fans give a vocal vote for their ouster from the opening kickoff. In fact, there was one rabid fan who accused the referee of using a two-headed coin when his team lost the toss and choice to receive. However, contrary to what fans may think, the four men assigned the officiating duties at each contest received their licenses other than from a cracker jack box. Official Body In this area and throughout the county, the official organization responsible for diplomas of pin-stripe shirts and whistles is the San Diego County Officials Association.

At present, approximately 65 men are tabbed regular members, with additional rookies going through a two-year provisional period. And this city is not without its contribution to the organization, with Don Galindo, Bud Serviola, Bob Houser and Don Risher, regular members. Those desiring to become officials attend 13 weekly meetings of the association prior to the start of a particular sport and after passing numerous exams both written and demonstrative and if then passed by the board, they are classified under a provisional status and must repeat the same procedure for another year. Duties Limited During this span of time, their duties are limited to non-varsity games for that particular sport they are qualified for. Only after a person has passed the two-year provisional period may he then work varsity high school games.

Additional training is also required for one to qualify as a collegiate official. It should be noted that once a person becomes a regular and even though he is working collegiate contests, he still must attend the 13-weekly meetings held prior to the season for that sport. It always looks easy from where they sit in the stands, Galindo told this comer, but it is the experience that counts and knowing you have done the best you are capable of doing. Veteran Performer Galindo is in his 14th season as an official and four years back worked his way to the list of 18 collegiate officials in San Diego County. Although bom in Clint, Galindo claims Escondido as his native home, coming to this area when he wTas five years old and having played football, basketball and baseball while attending Escondido High School.

Ironically, Galindo is also an official in the three sports he lettered as a Cougar. When asked if he hears the crowd at games Galindo replied, You are always conscious of the crowd, more so when you are just starting out as an official. After a while you get used to it, but you are still conscious of the fact they are there yelling at you. More Noise Helpful Actually, the more noise it seems the better the game it is. I hate to work a game that has the crowd just dead, he added.

As for the coaches, we usually hear them, but being I am an umpire (stationed in the offensive backfield) at all games, the head linesman (in charge of the yard markers) and the field judge (roamer) get most of the noise from the coaches. Fourth member of the group is the referee, who is stationed in the defensive backfield. Said Galindo jokingly, I can recall one coach who gave me more trouble than any other in the 14 years Ive been an official. That would have to be Bob Bowman. He was coach at Palomar College (now dean of students) and would walk up and down the sidelines veiling about every play we called.

Bob laughs about it now as after his coaching days he tried his hand at being an official and was shocked at what we go through. Takes Vow I remember Bob saying, My gosh. I will never say another word to an official as long as I live. Galindo also has his favorite game in mind in his 14-year tenure, that taking place just two seasons back when Palomar College met Southwestern in Chula Vista. Southwestern had the game won by two or three touchdowns and with just :10 (seconds) left in the game a defensive player from Southwestern was offsides and creamed this halfback from Palomar.

I marched off the penalty and he did it a second time. Well before the snap for the third try at the play, the halfback from Palomar jumped the gun and creamed the player from Southwestern. A full-scale riot broke out and it took 10 minutes to stop it. Ill never forget that one, said Galindo. As for the roughest call to make by an official, Galindo feels pass interference is in a class by itself.

Its out there in the open and could go either way at times, while calls such as holding and slugging are ones the average fan wont see in a game. Galindo pointed out it has been said a flag could be thrown on each play in football, but it takes an experienced umpire to keep control of the game, keep it clean and to keep it moving as well. As for the riots, Galindo says he would rather let the police break them up. There are some pretty big guys out there, especially at the college levels. When they get in fights they swing helmets, and anything else they can reach.

Who knows, one may have a grudge against me from a call earlier in the game. isons post widest edge Rich gate split by entrants MORAGA, Calif. (UPI)- St. Mary's College Tuesday announced it would resume football on a low-piessure basis in 1967. St.

Mary's was once a national grid power, but abandoned its program when the invasion of the pros into the Bay Area hurt its gate. A spokesman said Tuesday that the program would be resumed under student management with a first-year budget of $8,000. The Gaels hope to play Stanford's junior Varsity, Moffett Field, San Quentin and several frosh teams in 1967. USF resumed football on the same basis several years ago and has since built up a full intercollegiate schedule. The once-great USF-St.

Marys game thus might well be revived in a few years. Bay Area franchise BEVERLY HILLS (UPI) -The newly organized National professional soccer league cleared up a few matters of pressing urgency Tuesday at their league meeting at the Beverly Hills Hotel so that play can start in 1967.

The Bay area group is headed by attorney William Brinton and includes former Notre Dame football star Joseph O'Neill, now a Midlands, oil and real estate developer.
